West Virginia plays on Beaver
Field Saturday afternoon.
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.
