.The Foot Ball Review.
Satursiay was looked for
-Nat-440* foot ball experts as the
turning,point•nf the season. It was
4eld,:.tha,.%.the minor, preliminary
contests-had been played, leaving
the giants to battle among them
selves, and that enough time had
elapsed to, allow each team to, strike
its real gait for the remainder of
the., season., Judged from this
..
standpoint, the results of Saturday's
games are unusually interesting.
Two of our three remaining op
ponents were lined up against each
other. W. U. P. easily vanquished
WeSt Virginia by the score of 17-6.
Although W. U. P. was guilty of a
series pf costly . fumbles, and was
heavily penalized, the Morgantown
team ,could.not, stop, ,the scoring.
The.easy victory of the Pittsburgers
vias,all_the more remarkable because
of the fact that many of their best
men were saved for the W. and J.
game next week, scrubs being
played in their places. The feat
ure of the game was the fine punt
ing.of Kenna tor West Virginia.
long since out of the cham
pionship race, failed to score on
Lafayette, adding another to her
record of 0-0 scores, Several
changes were made in Penns line-up,
and her, team work showed some
improvement,. but Lafayette held
for downs each time her goal line
was threatened. The result of this
game has not increased Penn's
hopes of a victory over Michigan
next week.
Harvard had hard work to get
one touchdown from the Indians,
and is also considered out of the
championship race.
Yale and Princeton will undoubt
edly decide the Eastern champion
pionship when they meet next Sat
urday. Both teams won last week
by small margins, Princeton 8, West
Point ,O; ,Yale. 5, , Brown 0. As
West Point is the only team both
rivals have played, it is hard to

make a direct comparison of their
strength, but the lines seem to be
evenly matched, while Princeton
has slightly better punting abilities
in the back field. For this reason,
barring fumbles or mistakes at crit
ical times, the Tigers have. a good
chance to gain the title of intercolle
giate chathpions of the East for 1906.
The Game of the Season
Only two days now remain before
our great game with Dickinson. If
you haven't decided to go as yet,
just get busy this very mo
ment; decide to be a loyal State
man, and fall into line with the
greatest crowd that has ever gone
down to see old Dickinson defeated.
For we have the team, there's no
mistaking that fact, and if we get the
spirit, the Real State spirit, behind
every man on our Varsity squad,
then "Everybody Happy" will be
the only possible way to describe
our feelings this coming Saturday
evening.
Wake-up, and read this ! In the
fall of 1902, State's eleven under
Captain Cummings went all the way
to Carlisle to do battle with one of
the very best teams Dickinson ever
turned out. Our student body that
fall consisted of about 450 men.
And how many of this number
went to Carlisle with the team ?
Remember, it was pouring rain,
that day, and Carlisle is twice as
far from here as Williamsport. In
spite of these facts there were over
400 State men at the game that day.
And they saw one of the most
magnificent victories State has ever
won from Dickinson, the final score
standing 23 to 0. All Carlisle was
dark and dreary for months to
come ! This is the stuff of which
Old State is made.
What made such a victory possi
ble ? Two things ;in the first place r
the team ; and in the second place,
the Spirit ! and the second element
was just as big a factor as the first,
don't forget that.
Today we have almost 900 under
grads here at State, and next ,Sat
urday morning when that , special r of
Parker's pulls out of our "Union
Depot," we must have every man ,in
College on that boat ! No excuses
will go ; don't wait to say the -next
day how sorry you were not to• be
there, but hop on, and every -.State
man in line, as our band, strikes up,
"Here's to Old Penn State I"
Here's hoping that State will be
all there on Saturday. . , ..
