Nothing But Hard Games Ahead. ,With Captain McCleary out of the game, Old State has just reached the climax of the hardest football season in her history. Five games remain and every one promises to be an unusually stiff struggle Coach Lender's West Virginia eleven, which appears on Beaver Field Saturday, is probably the best aggregation that ever represented the Morgantown university. The Mountaineers are confident and ex pect to "come back with the scalps of, the Penn Slate team after the an nual game next Saturday," as aW. V. U. scribe writes. The visitors 6-0, score with Penn and the fact that one of their halfbacks, Neb hiker, is reported to be one of the foremast in the college ranks means that the next game will be well fought. Bucknell has not yet shown its hand, as the defeat by Gettysburg arid the low score of 13 to 0 against the weak Delaware College eleven shows. However, the Lewisburgers have good material and they will come up to State two weeks from Saturday with the expectation of a victory. There will be an immense crowd on hang to see the Orange and Blue lock horns with the White and Blue on the gridiron for the first time since 1900, when the contest ended in a row. With five victories and no defeats the Navy is head and shoulders THE STATE COLLEGIAN above most of her rivals, with half the season a matter of history. The Middies have won from Rutgers and Lehigh among others and have scored 135 points against nothing for their opponents. State lost to the Annapolis eleven by a close score last year and a strong effort will be made to turn the tables this time and put a crimp in the wonder ful record of the Navy team. With the Cornell game less than ten days off the Ithacans have not yet shown their usual strength. Oberlin scored ten points on the "Big Red Team" and both Hamil ton and Colgate held it to low scores. If our team can be brought into the best of physical shape we should have a chance to score on the Ithacans at any rate. Pittsburg won from Marietta 7 to 0 on Saturday, a score which is but one point higher than last year's score against the same team. I ittle is known of the strength of the Smoky City eleven yet, but Satur day's struggle with Bucknell should be significant to manager Postleth waite's team, no matter who wins.
