4Az edr Vol. 111, No . 10 Great Victory Over Dickinson I By playing real, State foot ball last Saturday at Williamsport, our splendid team decisively defeated Dickinson. Inspired by the magni ficent courage of Captain Dunn, Penn State smashed the "third game hoodoo," crushed Dickinson's proud record of an uncrossed goal line, and won another glorious victory for our White and Blue. During the first half Dickinson was fortunate enough to hold State from scol ing, and the Red and White came upon the field in the second half confident and de termined. Then before play had continued very long, a hard scrim mage ensued, following which State's captain was seen stretched motionless upon the ground. The great pain of a dislocated joint had caused "Mother" to faint dead away, but in a few moments, he struggled painfully into his position, refusing to leave the field. With renewed dash and spirit State swept down Seminary Field for a touch down in a series of irresistable whirl wind rushes, which rendered vain and helpless the desperate defense of the Dickinsonians. First half: --Captain Davis won the toss, and a fine kick-off by Fr ye was called back by reason of offside play, the ball being set back five yards. The next trial went to Paitiidge, who rushed back 20 yards. Then Hirshman hit the line for 3, Mc- Cleary 3, and then a punt of 40 yards. Campbell's tackle of big Davis, just as he caught the pigskin, was a beauty, and Dickinson's huge chief went down hard, dropping the ball, Dickinson, however, recover ing it. At this point Dickinson showed that her game was entirely Continued on page 3 STATE COLLEGE, PA., NOVEMBER 22, 1906 With the County Clubs At a recent meeting of the Lan caster County Club the following officers were elected for the college year : L.

The Games of the Week West Virginia University had no difficulty in rolling up 56-4 against West Virginia Wesleyan. The latter did not make more than four yards in three downs against Morgan town's strong defense. Forward passes and quarterback kicks were frequently used. W. U. P. played an evenly matched contest with their bitter rivals, W. & J., last Saturday. A penalty for slugging placed the ball within striking distance of the Pitts burgers' goal, and a field goal gave W. & J. a 4-0 victory. By a remarkable coincidence, two teams representing the East defeated opponents from the West by the same scores, 17-0. Michigan was conquered by Penn's fast and snap py work in Philadelphia ; at the same time the Indians scalped Minnesota at Minneapolis. The victory for Carlisle was chiefly due to a series of brilliant field goals by Mount Pleasant. Since neither Penn nor Carlisle is anywhere near being Eastern champion, while Minnesota and Michigan uudoubtedly share all the Western honors, the results of these two games seem to indicate the relative merits of the game as played in the two great divisions of American colleges. In the much herarlded Yale- Princeton contest, which was to have decided the Eastern championship, neither team was able to score. Yale found herself unable to gain by the open work favored by this year's rules, and soon resorted to the old "Yale" style of play. After two halves of splendid, "straight"_ foot ball, the game closed with honors
