It was hard for Bucknell to lose, but doubly hard after they had thought the game was all theirs and had prema turely celebrated it by a parade on the gridiron between halves. That State in the second half could have easily doubled the Orange and Blue’s score does not admit of a doubt; the latter’s line was smashed, their players weary and their confidence gone. The reason that it stands as it does, is because Bucknell quit, with the ball on her 5 yard line and with eleven minutes of the half left to play, The hundreds of Blue and White rooters were much disappointed by Bucknell thus depriving them of the right of a grand victory, but perhaps it should have been expected from force of habit. The game began shortly after three a'clock when Mar tin kicked off. The ball was returned to mid-field by Mat thewson. Fumbles prevented gains of any consequence un til Bucknell secured the sphere on State’s 45 yard line and, by two swift end runs, rushed it over for a touchdown. Cat terall kicked goal. Martin’s kick was returned to State’s 40 yard line by Mattliewson’s punt. A little later State’s full back broke through the line and sped down the field with the ball under his arm and the whole Orange and Blue eleven at his heels. The hopes of Blue and White wearers rose as the ground flew under his feet, but from the crowd of his opponents one made a desperate plunge and caught him by the back of the sweater. Only Sweet’s grasp on an inch of wool made the run 25 instead of 90 yards and robbed Cummings of a touch-down. Near the end of the half Bucknell punted to States five yard line. In attempting to catch the ball Hew ittonade an unlucky fumble, and Freuder-berger, grabbing the pig skin, fell across the line. Catterall again kicked State 6 —Bucknell 0. WIM4AMSPOT, Nov. 3.
