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. The score:

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.
