KAVANAUGH, Manager THE STATE COLLEGIAN BASKETBALL SEASON CLOSES. A Victory Over Delaware College Ends a Well Played Schedule. Another splendid exhibition of basketball was given when the Dela ware College five was defeated on the Armory floor. last Friday night by the score of 47 to 11. The game was inclined to be rough at several stages but Referee Mcllvee 1' s whistle always sounded at the right time and kept the contest interesting throughout. ahe clever passing and teamwork of captain Dußarry and his men could not be surpassed and the ease which they seemed to have in taking the ball from their oppon ents was very much in evidence. The Delaware team put up a plucky fight but they were greatly out classed and could not do much in the matter of scoring. PENN STATE 47 Hermann Ross, Reed Funston .

It was hoped to have Buck - mil here for a game this season and it seems that this was the under standing before we met them at Lewisburg, but last week the Bucknell management stated that by faculty action their team was not al lowed any trips, This is all the more disappointing because it was felt that our defeat of two weeks ago could have been avenged in a game on the home floor. State me a may well feel proud of their basketball representation for the season of 1908. A team that has developed as the present one has without a coach is to be con gratulated most highly and the skill they have attained in swift and ac curate passing, as well as the team work displayed, is absolutely the best ever shown by a Penn State team. The individual playing nas shown that we have a collec tion of stars and, although we lose Captain Dußarry next year, such men as Waha, Funston, Her mann, Reed and Ross will form the nucleus of a team of which great re sults can be expected. Manager Harding also deserves great credit for his services, as well as "Casey" Fox, "Turk" Dillon and the other members of the squad, for the inter est taken in helping to develop a winning team. Despite the extremely unfavora ble weather conditions, a very large number of men have reported for track work, and are hard at it. This year's prospects are excellent for a strong track team. The new material has so far been showing up well, and as soon as the track gets in good condition great things are expected of the squad. Of last year's team there are still a large number in college, and it will be around them that the new team will be built. In the quarter mile, especially, the candidates are numerous, and a fine relay team will probably be the outcome. The most promising candidates for the dashes thus far are Bubb, Geyer, and Bair. The quarter has Bedale, Miller, Berry, Hassan, and many more. For the half there are Hay, O'Neil, Mathers, Metzger, and others. DELAWARE 11 MEM Robin, (C-apt) Hagner, Dowan The distances have practically the same men as last year: Smith, Ogilvie, Berkebile, Von Senden, Martin, and a number of new men. The weight events have the same men as last year: Dunn, Cyphers, Hirshman, Hand, Ritchey, and others who entered this year. The pole vault has Maurhoff and Zink of last year's team, and Har rison, Breitinger, and Graham, new candidates. All departments have numerous candidates, and altogether the team promises to be a strong one. TRACK PROSPECTS.
