EDITORIAL
With only a few days intervening
until the game with Dickinson takes
place, it is necessary that we begin
to' make our preparations. Ever
since athletic relations with Dickin
son have existed, this game has con
stituted the most important event on
our schedule ; a few of us know
what it means to lose this struggle,
most of us realize the greatness of a
victory. That the Carlisle Collegians
_have similar ideas in regard to this
event is evinced by words of a re
cent issue of the Dickinsonian.
"For years State has been our
greatest rival, and the State game
the biggest game on our schedule.
If we can win this game the season
-is considered a success, though we
lose every other game." If Dick
inson has these ideas, don't you
suppose that every supporter of the
Red and White will stand by them
and attend the game to a man ?
Everyone conversant with State's
athletics is only too familiar with the
"third year superstition." A
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
glance at the record in another
column will convince everyone that
this superstition has become too
much of a fact and an established
rule. This is the fatal year accord
lug to the story. However, it should
be our intention to break away this
year from the rule that seems to bind
us and win. It can be done, but
the co-operation of the entire student
body is necessary to accomplish the
desired result. One hundred out of
eight hundred men do not constitute
a sufficiently large number. Let
every man of the eight hundred be
in Williamsport on the morning of
the seventeenth, and, as the
column of Blue and White moves
out toward the field, may emphasis
be truthfully placed on • the fifth
word of that old, familiar song
"Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here I"
It is with a feeling of regret that
the "Collegian" is forced to an
nounce the resignation of B. W.
Scribner, 'OB, from the board. Mr.
Scribner has been connected with
the "Collegian" for a long time and
has had a large share in the effort
to place the publication on a firm
and high basis.
Three new men have been added
to the board ; H. A. Hey, 'O9. to
the editorial staff; S. W. Bloom, 'OB
and N. B. Higgins, 'O9 to the
managerial staff.
Clearfield County Club
The second meeting of the Clear
field County Club last Thursday
evening was marked by a large at
tendance of enthusiastic State men.
Great interest was manifested in
several movements designed by the
club to promote the interest of
State College in Clearfield county.
Sometime during the Christmas
holidays, it is intended to give a
banquet, and a committee was ap
pointed to look into the matter. A
copy of the 1907 La Vie was also
ordered placed in each of the High
Schools and Y.M.C.A. Libraries of
the county.
