':' VOLUME 7 NUMBER 8 STATE OVEMIELMS BUCKNELL ELEVEN Lewisburgers Clearly Outplayed Throughout Entire Game PLAY WAS HARD AND FAST Visitors Received Terrible Trounc- ing on New Beaver Field. State Played Consistent Football and Gained at Will Through Bucknell Team. An unusually large number of alumni and visitors remained at col lege after the Pennsylvania day festivities to witness the Bucknell game last Saturday. They were repaid, for our eleven played its best game of the year and rolled up the biggest score against the Orange and Blue gridironists ever made by a State eleven. The final score of 45 to 3 was 33 points more than La fayette scored on Bucknell this year and the game itself reminded one of the great spurt of speed shown by "Larry" Vorhis's team in the 40 to 0 victory over West Virginia last fall just prior, to the Pitt victory. Captain Clarke of the visitors kicked off at 2:45 amid a driving snowstorm fro Tr the northwest. Barrett came hack ten yards and then punted. - Bucknell could gain nothing and after Engle received O'Leary's punt, Piollet went around right end for 25 yards, Miller ad vanced 15, Barrett made a yard less than" Shorty," Engle got 13 _yards in two dashes off tackle and Miller went through center for a touch down. Barrett kicked the goal and made the score: State 6, Bucknell 0, within just two minutes of the opening whistle. Our offense was powerful, our interference the best seen this season and the team play dust what was to be desired up to this point; it continued thus all through the game and when the second string players were sent in. they played rings around the Buck nellians just as the varsity had done. Runs by Very, Miller and Barrett made possible the second touch down, which was secured by Engle, "Fritz" failing to kick the goal. The plucky little Bucknell quar terback, O'Brien, made several neat gains through the line before the first period was ended, but State's goal line was never in danger of be ing crossed -during the entire con test. The initial quarter ended with the score 11 to 0. A forward pass, Clarke to O'Leary, netted the visitors 20 yards in the opening play of the second quarter, 'O'Brien's trial for a field goal went wide. ' Soon after, "Tom" Piolle made a spectacular run of 48 yards through a broken field for a , touchdown. Barrett kicked the goal. Clarke booted the ball over State's line on the next kickoff, and Barrett kicked out of bounds on the first down. Clarke's forward pass netted 15 yard, and O'Brien failed again at - field goal, his second at tempt being . vide of the mark also. A pretty forward pass from Mil ler to Weaver took Bucknell un awares and "Henny" raced 35 yards for a touchdo,rn aftcr cleverly sidesteppi , g thi ee tacklers In the teeth of a sti on; wind and at a diffi cult angle Bdrrett , failed to kick the goal from' touchdo cm. The half ended with the ball in Bucknell's possession on their own 40 yard line and the score: State 22, , Buck nell 0. . Very took the kickoff that started the third quarter and ran it hack 45 yards. Engle retired at this point and little , Fleming took "Dad's" place. Miller got away for a 25 yard run and a touchdown. Piollett made the goal. Fleming made our sixth touch down through the line, the hole he found being big enough for about six men of his size to have gone through. Workman failed to kick the goal„ On the next kickoff Fleming came back 30 yards. Scion after Clarke kicked over Barron's head; this advantage gave Bucknell her only score for Jordan was able to "freecatch" a punt and make a pretty field gool from the 32 yard line. With the score 33 to 3 and only a few minutes to play, our men simply smashed through the Buck nell defense at will. Quirk made the seventh touchdown when he followed up the ball closely on an onside kick, secured the pigskin when Clarke fumbled and made the score. Miller added a point by a neat goal from touchdown. Quirk, also got the final score when two onside kicks; a forward pass and rushes by Fleming, Eckert and Miller brought the ball within easy striking distance of the goal. Miller made the final score 45 to 3 by kicking the goal from touch down. To the visiting "old boys t " many of whom rp_mornhor"ri th e fierceness, With which State-Bucknell gridiron battles had been fought in the past, the overwhelming victory over the pupils of trainer Hoskins and coaches Dickson and Weymouth,was indeed pleasing. Barrett and Miller and the entire backfield including varsity and second string men played a consistent game. Piollet's runs, the usual wonderful tackling of Very, Watson and Harlow and indeed the fierce tackling of every Blue and White player—tackling that re minded one of the work of the best of our teams in the past, featured the contest. Captain Gray's line was as impregnable as ever. Clark, Bebout and Fleming of the substi tutes especially' distinguished them selves.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., NOVEMBER 17, 1910 STATE PITT HISTORY Five Games Out of Seven Have Been Bine and White victories. ALL WERE HOTLY CONTESTED State's Strongest Eleirens,Have Only Defeated the Plitsburgers by Narrow Margins, This Year's Game Will Undoithtedly be th - Hardest Struggle in the History of the Two Institutions. - Since the annual State-Pitt game has become a classic in Thanks giVing Day football, it is interesting to look back over the battles of the past years and call to memory again the gritty men who have fought for the Blue and White and the Blue and Gold for seven years back. It was in 1903 that Pitt made the first earnest effort to put a high class eleven in the field and with their Coach Mosse 'at the helm on Oct. 24 of that season, Penn State's team under Captain "Eddie" Whit worth was met at the old Coliseum grounds in Allegheny, the score being 59 to oin State's favor. This was the first time a Pitt eleven ever played State in Pittsburg, although in 1893, 1896, 1900, 1901 and 1902 games were played at State College and Bellefonte, and the old "W. U. P." elevens were easily defeated by a total of 108 points to 0 in the five contests. However, the real grid iron history in , Pittsburg between State and Pitt kega,,i ~in 1903, and although badly .defeated Pitt fought well, The calibre of State's' 'O3 team was again demonstrated to Pittsburgers on Thanksgiving Day of that year, when at Exposition Park Pennsy State's sons walloped W. and J. to the tune of 23 to Oi But in 1904 Pitt's team was a dif ferent proposition, for Coach Mosse had with him Captain "Joe" Thompson, who along with East, McKean, Mehl, Waddell and Schmidt had played football to gether at Geneva and knew the game. An annnual Thanksgiving Day game was then arranged and when the day arrived for this big battle at Exposition Park, Pitt had scored 404 points to her oppon ents' nothing for the season. State, under the captaincy of ,Carl Fork urn had also made a proud record, although they came to Pittsburg that Turkey Day in deplorable physical shape, with Captain Forkum on the; side lines just recovered from pneu monia; "Andy" Moscrip, the giant tackle, also on the side lines with a broken collarbone, while halfback "Ed" Yeckley and tackle "Rough house" Smith got out of sick beds to make the trip to Pittsburg. A terrific battle with Dickinson ten days before had battered up State's men woefully, nevertheless, they didn't see how Pitt could down them—a team they had beaten the I year before 59 to 0. But Pitt did do it and to the queen's taste, 22 to 5, for Captain Thompson uumuzzled a series of trick plays which swept State off their feet and before they realized it four touchdowns had been scpred , against them. "Irish" Mcllveen, State's "old reliable," I played magnificient football all the way, but even his dogged resistance ' could not stem the tide. Finally a few moments before the game closed the grand old "State spirit" set her defeated eleven to working, irresistibly and with a series of un stoppable rushes the ball was carried over Pitt's line for the first and only time during the season of 1904 by George McGee. But that game was surely a great victory for Pitt! During State's 1905 season, "Beat Pitt" was the slogan from the beginn ing to the end at State College and on Thanksgiving Day, the sons of State led by Captain "Ed" Yeckley went to Pittsburg prepared for the fray and from -the moment the whistle blew State's warriors took the offensive and simply drove "Joe" Thompson's men from one end of the gridiron to the other. Pitt had a better lineup than in 'O3 but she could do nothing with State and although the final score was only 6 to 0, "Irish" Mcllveen ploughed over the line for the win ning touchdown,—State gained four yards from scrimmage to every one for Pitt and it was only the fortune of the game that kept the score down. In 1906 it was "Mother" Dunn's great State eleven that travelled to Pittsburg to clash with Pitt's team under captain Marshall and coach Wingard. Yale had been the only opponent to cross State's goal-line that season, and the determination written upon the faces of the splen did men composing the "Blue and White" team that day showed that they had no• intention of allowing their record to be marred. And in deed it was not, for the only score . of the conflict came near the end of the second half, when after a series of desperate rushes, halfback "Bull" Mc- Cleary fought his way over Pitt's line and won the day 6 to 0. It was probably thedinest football en counter Pittsburg had' ever seen. Thanksgiving Day 1907 Captain "Bobby" Burns, that little leader of peerless grit and courage, brought his "Mountain Lions" to Pittsburg, flushed with a splendid victory over Cornell. But chief "Cal" Mar shall of Pitt also had a mighty host of gridironists and the clash that day at Exposition Park was one long to be remembered, To •and fro the - battle surged with neither eleven a favorite, until finally with only half 'a minute of play remain ing a brilliant for Ward pass half the length of the field went sweeping over State's proud line and when the living mass was untwisted Camp- ; bell had the ball and the victory be hinged to Pitt ! The great "Bull" McCleary came to Pittsburg in 1908 leading his State team in person, since he hob bled along the side-lines with a broken foot. Ballou, State's light ening quaterback, now with Prince ton, was also out of the game with tonsilitis, fullback Hirshman crip pled with a bad back and guard McClellan, the only 200 pound man on the squad, was barred by faculty restrictions. Pitt had everything in her favor—weight, condition and confidence—but there came into that wounderful element, "Penn State spirit." and those youthful chaps in their blue jerseys simply swept Pitt off her feet through the first half and "Larry" Vorhis kick ed time beautiful goals from field. Captain "Quince" l3anbury and his' men came back strong in the second period, but it ~ was too late and history chalked up, Penn State 12, Pitt 6, Campbell sec ui ing the touch down. In 1909 the first annual game at Foibes Fleld between State and Ciffitinut cl on 14. , g• 4, cc,:urm, 1 PRICE FIVE CENTS PENNSYLVANIA Several Distinguished Men Present Who Expressed Their Intentions of Aiding Our Cause in the'Leg- islature.
