Capt. Hewitt, Scholl, Cummings, Whitworth, and Ben neLt are the men who have played on the Varsity before. Hewitt is playing a good game at his old position, that of quarterback. He directs the team well, is a good manager of his men, and is probably the fastest runner on the team. Scholl, last year’s captain, and a veteran of the gridiron, is a tower of strength at tackle. lie smashes through the line with the same irresistible strength that all old State men have so often seen exhibited in many foot ball games. Cum ming’s did not come out to practice till late, but this did not seem to handicap him any, for he is playing a star game at tackle, which, by the way, is a new position for him. Whit worth and Bennett form a very speedy pair of backs who can generally be depended on to make good gains when given the ball. Dodge, for the second season, is playing guard, and he is a strong man for the position. Miller, an old State player, and an exceedingly reliable one, has decided to quit the game for the season, on account of his weakened condi tion, due to his last winter's illness. The football season opened at State with a game with Susquehanna University, which resulted in a victory for State by the same score as last year. In the first half State men had everything their own way, bucking the line at will and making long gaius around the end for three touchdowns. In the second half Susquehanna braced up, and though State’s gains were frequent, Susquehanna succeeded in pre venting a touchdown. The line-up was as follows: STATE POSITION SUSQUEHANNA Murray, Holloway left end Frank Miller left tackle Capt. Dang Dodge left guard Walker, Whitman »Sweet center Miller •Built right guard liinganham Scholl right tackle Snyder Miles right end Davis State 17 —Susquehanna 0.
