While there he played guard and half on the team and did much to ad vance football at this school. In the fall of '99 he entered the class of 1903 at State. The first year he played center on Randolph's team and in the Princeton game showed the star center, Booth, up. In 'OO he acceptably filled the posi tion of fullback and in . the Bucknell game. on the fake play through tackle gained many yards for his team.

We feel sure that State's team under the captaincy of this all around player, will easily maintain the high notch she has gained in football. In passing it might be said that Cummings is the best 100 yard sprinter in the College and was a member of last year's successful relay team. —The following is the All-American Football Team for 1902 as picked by Walter Camp: ends—Campbell, Harvard, Davis, Princeton; tackles—Cutts, Harvard, Bunker, West Point; guards—Lee, Harvard, Warner, Cornell; center— Holt, Yale; quarterback—Daly, West Point; halfs—Kernan, Harvard, Weeks, Columbia; full, Graydon, Harvard.
