Football
The football season at State was
opened on Beaver Field last Satur
day afternoon by a rather interest
ing game with the Lebanon Valley
College eleven. The visiting play
ers were much lighter than the local
men, but in spite of the fact played
a pretty game and de-
serve much credit for
holding the score so low.
State used about thirty
players in the contest, and
the double and triple
passes were used for
good gains. One of the
surprises of the day was
the drop kicking o f
Vorhis' 10, who"booted"
two magnificent field
goals from the 20 and 40
yard line respectively.
Coulson, a Freshman, at
half-back displayed fine
form and good judgment,
and his 85 yard run for
a touch down brought
great applause from all.
The first score was made
by State after three min
utes of play.
The game was played
as follows:
Dunn kicked off over
the line, Guyer catching
and bringing the ball
out to the 25 yard line,
where he kicked ou t
30 yards to Cyphers, who ran
back 5 yards. Zink hit centre
for 9 yards, Coulson rounded left
end for 20. Burns 2, Zink 2, and
on a pretty double pass Coulson ran
12 yards and over the line for the
first touch down of the season.
Wray kicked goal. Carnes kicked
tate Collegian.

but the ball was caught by Coulson

State's 20 yard line; Henry caught
it and returned it 15 yards, Par
tridge followed with 8 and Coulson
with 15. The first half ended with
the ball on State 45 yard
line.
In the second half
State's coaches changed
the entire team with the
exception of Partridge,
and the contest was wag
ed as follows: Lebanon
kicked to the 15 yard
line, where the ball was
taken by Yeckley for 30
yards. State was pen
lized 15 yards for holding.
Yeckley then gained 10
yards by an end run.
State punted for 30 yards.
Partridge gained 10,
Yeckley 20. At this
point Lebanon took a
brace and held State,
forcing Vorhis to kick;
resulting in a field goal
from the 45 yard line.
On the next plays, Vorhis
carried the ball 20 yards,
Partridge 4, Yeckley 10.
gkyi
Ferguson made a fine run
around the end for 3
yards; Vorhis again gain-
ed 3, Ferguson 4, Par-
tridge 1. At this point

of the ball, and by a forward pass
gained 8 yards, Carnes 2. The visi
