wind was in State's favor. How ever, Cornell was able to hold our eleven for downs and an unfortun ate fumble of one of Walder's long -punts put the ball in the possession Of the Cornell eleven in the middle of the field. Again a long forward pass covered most of the interven ing space to the State goal and the ball was taken over for a second touchdown after Cornell had been held for two downs on the 4-yard mark. With the wind now against Mc Cleary's men, State came back in no undetermined manner. Hirsh man made a forty yard sprint to mid-field and Ballou also made a good run in a broken field, but Cor hell was able to hold her own through the punting of her leader, whose work was greatly aided by the wind. "Dick" Smith made two nice runs in this period also and Ripple played football from start to finish. Cosgrove and the two ends, Hurlbut and McArthur were every where evident in the struggle, while Vorhis played just as good football on Percy Field as he did last year. McCleary was hindered in his work by his bad shoulder but gamely stayed in the whole contest and was a tower of strength on the secondary defense. Barr played a good game in the place of Piolette, who was not in . the best of condition and did not want to play against his Alma Mater. The game ended with the ball on Cornell's 15-yard line in her own •possession. STATE 4 CORNELL 10 Weaver .. . It. Leventry. Pavek McClellan . ... 1 g. •• • . —.Cosgrove Cyphers .. • ..... g. . ......

With the Bucknell, Navy and Pittsburg games the only ones re maining, our eleven is ready to THE STATE COLLEGIAN make a strong finish. The Lewis burg team, led by Captain O'Brien, is now playing in its true form and the tie score with Lafayette shows that a complete reversal of form has been experienced in the orange and blue camp. Reserving their strength for the "one big" struggle of the season against Penn State, the Buck nellites are now playing excellent football and a battle royal can be expected on Beaver Field next Sat urday afternoon. On a fumbled punt halfback Hen derson scored for Bucknell in the first half at Easton and a single touchdown made by Lafayette early in the second period was all that was chalked up against our next op ponent. The fact that Lafayette held Princeton 0 to 0 shows that Bucknell, with her 6 to 6 score against the Eastonians, is going at a fast pace. With a large number of our alumni back on Saturday, we will show them, as well as the visit ing Bucknell people, that State is still the home of the real college spirit, and we will let our eleven know at the same time that the stu dent body is with them at all times. The Navy met its first defeat of the season last Saturday, when the Indians won 16 to 6. The Redskins were at their old tricks in the way of goal kicking and three placemeut kicks from Balenti's foot and one from Thorpe's made up the Car lisle total. The Navy scored when it recovered a fumble on the Indian 15-yard line and Richardson carried the ball over after some good line plunging. The game on November 14, between State and Navy, both similarly defeated at the Indians' hands (rather feet,) will be one worth going miles to witness. Pittsburg triumphed over St. Louis University on Saturday, 13 to 0. Roe and Richards starred for our Thanksgiving rivals, who meet West Virginia next Saturday and the Indians a week later. State Represented at Columbus Con- ference. In the first international Bible Conference held in Columbus. Ohio, October 22 25, State was fully :epresented by Professors I. L. Foster and F. L. Pattee from the faculty, and A. A. Borland, J. B. Watson, J. E. Platt, W. H. Sill, and M. Smith from the stuaent body. Over a thousand new stu dents, secretaries, faculty, alumni, were enrolled, nearly every state being represented as well as much of the Dominion of Canada. The meeting was presided over by John R. Mott. Among the notable speakers were Robert E. Speer, President King and Dean Bosworth of Oberlin, President Faulkner of Toronto University, the Hon. H. F. McFarland, chairman of the Com mission of the District of Columbia, J. A. McDonald, Editor of the Toronto Globe, Bishop McDowell, and Booker T. Washington. The meeting aroused great enthusiasm and deep feeling and all who,'.at tended it went home inspired , and thrilled. It was brought out by the con ference that Bible study is one of the most vital things in the work 'of the college Y. M. C. A. today. It has increased in an almost in credible way during the past five or six years. At present there are enrolled in regular Bible classes, meeting at least once each week, nearly twenty-four per cent, of• the total student body in the colleges of North America. Yale alone has 800 men in Bible classes, and at West Point, where the cadets have only forty minutes of leisure a day, 250 are enrolled. It is believed that in all the colleges nearly 50,000 students will be in -Bible classes: be fore the end of the year. This first conference will certainly do muclVto stimulate the work, .it • being realized more and more by college men that the Bible is an indispensa-
