THURSDAY, DEC. 6, 1906 EDITORIAL With an extra effort in the last few minutes of play, State last Thursday closed her football sea son of 1906 with a great victory, crowning with success one of the most successful seasons in the history of the institution. From start to finish, a feeling of State pride and responsibility pervaded the entire team, giving to each unit of the machine-like combina tion that never-say-die spirit for which this college is so well known. Meeting at Pittsburg a proposition more difficult than had been ex pected, the surprise did not discon cert the players as is often the case in such instances, but only served as an incentive to make the team more invincible and determined against the onslaughts of the Western Uni versity. In spite of his crippled condition and in spite of the urgent requests of the coaches, "Mother" Dunn entered the last game of the year to do his share of the work, THE STATE COLLEGIAN and this is only one example of the courage of every player during the season. The team is to be doubly con gratulated on the victory in view of the fact that two of the hardest games on our schedule immediately preceded this contest and left the team in none too good condition. To Captain Durin and to the coaches as well as to players, Varsity and Scrub, congratulations are ex tended: As the goal posts are taken down from the football field and the grid iron heroes lay away their armor for another nine months, a new set of athletes comes to the front to ab sorb the attention of the intercol legiate world. Basketball, which di vides honors with hockey as a winter sport, takes the boards at once and will continue to hold the floor until spring State's schedule this year promises to be a difficult one, and one in which her basketball abilities will be strained to the utmost. The fact that almost an entire new team must be organized only lends weight to the above statement; but that the new team will be a good one is evi dent from the number of candidates for positions. The only way to de velop a good team is to make every man win his position by hard, con scientious practice and it seems as if this will be the case this year, if the present indications are worth anything in forming an opinion.

The designs, which were submitted by a member of the Senior class, met with ap proval, but owing to the present lack of funds, the project cannot be carried out by the college at this time. However, if the coming ap propriation is large enough, the can non will undoubtedly be placed on the campus next spring. Debating Club. The question discussed at the regular meeting of the debating club held last Saturday night was : Re solved, that the Fifteenth Amend ment has been responsible for negro crime. Eleven members of the club were present. Several of the men appointed for the debate were ab sent, leaving the question to be de fended by Fisher, 'lO and attacked by Palm, 'O9.
