St a to Vol. V, No 9 THE ,NAVY GAME State Loses a Clean, Hard Fought Contest, 5-0. Our eleven did not get revenge on Saturday for last year's heart-break ing defeat at Annapolis, but it played a wonderfully strong game. "Your men played the hardest, cleanest, football - we have seen here this fall, including the tie_game with Harvard," is the way captain Northcroft of the Midshipmen spoke of State's work to coach "Tommy" Fennell. The only score was made by Richardson of the Navy about the middle of the first half after the Annapolis backfield had carried the ball from their own 25 yard line by consistent hard play. Following that our men seemed to have the better part of the argument until the first half closed, and during the sec ond period acting-captain Vorhis' aggregation appeared to still be a little the superior team, but the necessary touchdown to clinch a victory was always just out of reach. The whistle finished the game when the white and blue possessed the pigskin on the Navy's 20 yard line. Our team was not in the best of physical shape owing to the ex tremely hard schedule which is now all but finished. The result was that McClellan, Weaver, Ballou and Hirshman had to be substituted for when the game was still young. Rid dle, Johnson, Harrington and Barr who took their places did well and but for "Harry's" fast work Uncle Sam's boys might have secured an other touchdown. On one of Barr's punts, Lange, the lightning little quarterback, skirted around the end Coil STATE COLLEGE, PA., NOVEMBER 19, 1908 and had a clear field but Harrington brought him down from behind. Our attack and defense were equally as strong as the Navy's but Barr, Piolett and Ballou were not up to their standard in punting and the Midshipmen repeatedly gained on their kicking abilities. Gray, Vor his, Smith and the old reliable Cyphers each played an excellent game in every department. Had our men been in the fine physical trim that they were at the time of the Bucknell game, it is doubtful in deed if the Navy could have won. McCleary's work on the secondary defense was sadly missed. STATE G Piolett.. . Weaver, Johnson... .. 1 t... .. Northcroft( Capt.) McClellan, Riddle . I g. .. .Reinicke Gray .. • . . c. ... .

Elmer Price Five Cents BASKETBALL SCHEDULE West Point, Allegheny, and Univer sity of Pittsburg Added This Year. Manager Lindemuth has arranged a basketball schedule for captain Funston's five which compares most favorably with last year's list and with any schedule we have ever had, for that matter. Several in novations have been made. Instead of starting the season about the middle of January as was the case last winter, a game is played here with the Harrisburg A. C. in about three weeks; and an eastern trip, in cluding the Pennsylvania game, will be taken before Christmas. It is not improbable that manager Linde muth will also induce Penn to come up here for a contest. Games with Allegheny, West Point and the Pittsburg Collegians have been ar ranged for the first time, and the students will see some excellent basketball on the Armory floor, since seven games are to be played at home, and all with strong aggre gations. Here is the schedule: AT HOME Dec. 11—Harrisburg A. C FIRST EASTERN TRIP Dec. 14—Open. (Navy, Johns Hopkins or Dickinson will be sched uled.) Dec. 15—Pennsylvania at Phila delphia. Dec. 16—George Washington University at Washington D. C. AT HOME Jan. 15—Wyoming Seminary. Jan. 30—Bucknell. Feb. 3—Allegheny. Feb. 6—Franklin and Marshall Continued on page 2
