Here is the record of the most
sticcessful gridiron season we have

ley 0, at State College.
Sept. 29, State 26, Allegheny 0,
at State College.
Oct. - 6, State 4, Carlisle Indians 0,

Pittsburg.
Total points score, State 93, op
ponents 10. Games won, 8, lost 1,
tied 1.
No eleyen in the country, Yale
and Princeton alone excepted, has
made a more consistent record. A
touchdown and field goal by Yale
are the only scores of the season
againt State.
The single blot on the list is the
tie game with Gettysburg (a vei y
strong eleven), but following the
severe strain of the Indian game,
State's players had an off day
against the Gettysburgers, and fum
bled passes and punts caused the
tie. Then again, in the Gettysburg
cmitest• nothing but old style foot
ball was employed. After this
gathe our coaches ran the Varsity
through hard practice on the for-

Chemists' Trip to Europe
Last Friday, the Berzelius Chemi
cal Society at its regular meeting
discussed a contemplated trip to
Europe. It is not intended to con
fine the party entirely to Chemists,
but the invitation is open to all State
men who wish to take advantage of
the cheap rates that will no doubt
be obtained. If twenty or more go,
the expenses will be greatly reduced,
and the project is not at all impos
sible for the man who can afford to
spend three or four hundred dollars
during the coming summer. Ac
cording to the present plans it is
claimed that two hundred dollars
will be sufficient for a stay of two
months in the Old World.
What at first seemed like an air
castle has since developed into a
more definite probability. Thirty
men have given their names as
probable members of the party, but
nothing can be fully decided upon
until after vacation.
Civil Engineering Society
There was a good attendance at
the meeting of the Civil Engineer
ing Society last Saturday evening,
and those present enjoyed the in
teresti,-g talk of J. C. Gotwals 'O6.
Mr. Gotwals explained in every de
tail the coi.stluction of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad tunnels at New York
City, upon which work he was en
gaged during the past summer. By
the use of some blackboard draw
ings and a number of plans, his dis
cussion proved to be not only in
teresting but instructive as well.
The Society decided to have a
"feed" before Christmas vacation
and it was voted to hold one next
Saturday night.

"Tommy" Fennell
Ever since that atternoon, more
than two years ago, when "Tommy"
Fennell first stepped upon Beaver
Field, our love and respect for this
man has grown and expanded, un
til at the present time, there is no
man connected with our college,
who wields among the undergrads
a stronger influence for all that is
manly, courageous, and truly Ameri
can.
Two weeks ago Mr. Fennell left
us to take up his law business at
Elmira N. Y., and his genial whole
souled presence is greatly missed.
Quite recently the College author
ities called upon Mr. Fennell to talk
at the Sunday chapel service. This
exponent of manly gridiron princi
ples is among the few laymen to
whom this honor has been accorded,
and the men of State will never for
get Fennell's ringing words, calling
every one to a cleaner, higher plane
of every day life.
A glance at "Tommys" methods
in football is given by this terse or
der that he gave our Varsity men
previous to the Annapolis, Dickin
son, and W. U. P. games: "I watt
every man to go in and play State
football, the hardest, cleanest, grit
tiest football you know. Let no
man say a word to the officials, ex
cept your captain, and if I hear any
of you utter a curse word, out you
come from the game !"
And to see and to feel the splendid
style in which State's sons carry out
these orders, and play the very best
of quiet, determined, sportsmanlike
football is the thing that swells the
heart of every State man with pride,
as the team dashes upon the field.
