The Yale Game
Once again has "Old State"
played Yale to a stand-still and yet
lost out finally. But last Saturday's
game was the best contest ever seen
between the two bull dogs, and it
was simply a matter of hard luck
that kept the score from being at
least a tie. All honor to every man
on our 'Varsity squad ! The story
of the game, as impartially told in
the Sunday "North American,"
and "Press,'' is as follows:
FROM PHILA. NORTH AMERICAN
New Haven,Conn.,Oct.2o. "Penn
State gave Yale the hardest and best
game of The season, holding the
Elis to one touchdown, which was
followed by a kicked goal, and a goal
from field. Score: Yale 10—State 0.
"Three times Penn State tried to
score by field goals and once missed
only by the ball striking one of the
goal posts and bounding outside.
Penn State's quarter•back, Henry,
and Ya:e's right guard, Erwin, had
a run-in,and both men were ordered
off the field by the umpire."
"Although it rained hard during
the second half, both elevens played
high class foot ball, making fre
quent use of the double and for
ward passes. In this department
Yale had a shade the better of the
comparison.
"Yale's touchdown came from
failure to catch the slippery ball.
About the middle of the first half
Knox punted and the ball bounded
along, Bigelow snapping it up and
scoring a touch down. Knox
scored Yale's other points by a
quick kick of a placement goal from
the 25 yard line.
"An accurate pass by Gillis and
Dine's excellent placing of the ball
assisted Knox materially.
"The second half was full of Penn
State's hard luck. But the way
State's big backs opened-up Yale's
rush line for material gains was suf
ficient to make Yale men admit that
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
the visitors deserved to score. The
entire contest was played in the rain
an d on a soggy field, and it was a
game of forward passes and punt
ing. Yale was out-punted and out
passed, but her team work and
proverbial luck saved the day."

The Week in Football
Annapolis last Saturday defeated
Lehigh by the small score of 12-0 ;
one touchdown and a goal in each
half. The game was hotly contest
ed from start to finish and in both
halves the Navy worked the forward
pass very successfully. The game
was played on a wet field, but not
withstanding this handicap to quick
work, several good runs were made.
Norton played a star game at quar
ter-back for the Navy.
Ursinus proved a strong propo
sition for Dickinson and the Carlisle
aggregation was lucky to come out
victorious by the score of 4 to O.
Quarter-back kicks and fumbling
largely made up the play in the first
half, as well as the second. The
only score occurred in the first half,
when Captain Davis of Dickinson
kicked a goal from placement on
the 35 yard line. Dickinson's work
on the offensive was poor and no
ground could be gained from line
bucking.
The greatest surprise of the weex
however, was the walk-over given
to the Western U. of P. by the
Carlisle Indians. The Indians out
played the Western team at every
stage and in almost every department
of the game, and succeeded in rur.
ning up the decisive score of 22 to
0 ; three touchdowns and three
kicked goals in the first half and one
field goal in the second.
An estimate of the strength of
foot ball teams by comparative
scores is usually useless as foot ball
is so uncertain, but in this game the
Indians'score was a big one,affording
State most favorable prospects for
a victory over W. U. P. However,
as our Pittsburg rivals always put
up a strong game on Thanksgiving,
there is great probability that this
year's contest will be a hard one
and worth witnessing.
Bucknell succeeded in scoring on
Princeton by means of a kick from
placement. The Princeton men
claim that Bucknell did not signal
for a fair catch, but the officials de
clare that they saw the signal plain
ly. Although the Tiger won easily
by the score of 32 to 4, there is
much regret on account of Buck
nell's success in placing the ball be
tween the goal posts. The Lewis
burg team has now met both Prince
ton and Cornell, and claims that the
former is superior to the latter.
