SATURDAY'S GAME.
A Glorious Victory Over Bucknell.
Large Crowd Present.
In all the eleven games played
with Bucknell up to 1900 when
athletic relations were severed, State
won eight and lost three. In '93
Captain Holey's eleven won from
the Lewisburgers 36 to 18 and four
years later Captain Curtin's team
trimmed the orange and blue 27 to 4,
yet these two overwhelming scores,
which were the biggest run up by
any white and blue eleven against
the Bucknellites previous to the last
forfeited game of 1900, were out
done by Captain McCleary's sturdy
aggregation la;t Saturday on Beaver
Field. Our team played brilliant,
unbeatable football and brought joy
to the hearts of hundreds of old
alumni by winning 33 to o. During
the first half captain O'Brien's team
showed some strength after Mc-
Clellan had received Shoop's kick
off and State's team had taken the
ball over the visitors' line in six suc
cessive plays, which referee Crowell
said wereas fast and r en executed
a series of rushes as he had ever
had the pleasure of watching.
Bucknell recovered a fumble in the
middle of the field and Wickham's
on-side kick went to the 5 yard
mark, where Beemer fell on the ball.
In two plays Shoop made a touch
down for Bucknell and the score
stood—State 6, Bucknell 5. That
was the one and only hopeful mo
ment for the orange and blue, since
Hirshman went over for the second
touchdown before the half ended.
On account of a broken bone in his
foot' McCleary was forced to retire

STATE COLLEGE, PA., NOVEMBER 12, 1908
New Scholarships
At a recent meeting of the state
federation of women's clubs held at
Pittsburg, it was voted to raise
$15,000, the interest of which will
be granted as scholarships in the
home economics department of the
college. The completion of the
plan was placed in the hands of the
officers of the federation.
The movement which led to this
action originated two years ago with
the woman's club of State College
The scholarships will be in memory
of Miss Kate Cassatt McKnight, the
late president of the federation, who
was instrumental in the creation of
the department of home economics
at State. It was while Miss Mc-
Knight was in Harrisburg last year
working for this department that her
health failed and her death resulted.
"All-Pennsylvania" Eleven
A Pittsburg paper has selected for
its "All-Pennsy" team, right guard
Cyphers and right halfback Mc-
Cleary on its first eleven. Smith at
right tackle, Vorhis at left half, and
Hirshman at fullback were placed
on the second eleven; and Ballou
was honored with the position of
left halfback on the third team. It
is a significant fact that the men on
White and Blue teams are well
known all over the Keystone State,
and a game in the eastern part of
the commonwealth with Pennsyl
vania, one in the west with the Uni
versity of Pittsburg and one with the
Indians at Wilkes-Barre this fall
have helped greatly to place the
name of State before the people of
Pennsylvania more forcibly than
ever before.
