-•On To Williamsport.
Continued from page /,
once more waged battle with State’s
sons; only to' once again taste defeat,
this time on Beaver Field, and at
the hands of Captain Dunsmore’s
eleven.

Games played—lo.
7 games won by State and 3 games lost.
But in the following year, 1897,
at Sunbury, “the Red and White”
waved triumphantly for the first time,
Chief Curtin’s State warriors going
down in a hard fought Thanksgiving
Day game. And from that time on
the State—Dickinson football game
has been an annual affair and the
“biggest” battle of the season for
both institutions. The next contest
will be the eleventh in number, also
the tenth successive annual game.
' Looking over the past games the
fact is very obvious that State’s
elevens have as a general rule rather
outclassed Dickinson’s teams, al
though the majority of the contests
have been closely exciting. And
the clean, undisputed character of
each victory on both sides has been
a grand uplift for the gridiron sport
throughout middle Pennsylvania.
State’s most overwhelming victory
Was at Williamsport in 1898 when
Captain Murray’s valiant eleven
swamped Dickinson 34 to 0. And
as a loyal son of “Old Penn State”
Captain Murray has never since
missed this annual game, but is al
ways on hand to talk to the 'Varsity
boys and urge them on to victory.
Between the halves of last year’s
memorable game at Williamsport,
after State failed to score in the first
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
half, with tackle “Andy” Moscrip
lying in the dressing room with a
broken collar bone and Captain
Forkum three hundred miles away
tossing restlessly on a sick bed,
awaiting tidings from the battle, then
it was that the reticent Murray, who
had fought many a fight for the
“Old White and Blue,” gave State’s
tired warriors a talk, which sent
them leaping out upon the gridiron
with every nerve tingling and filled
with the wild enthusiasm of certain
victory for their fever-tossed cap
tain, their injured team-mate, and
for dear “Old State.”
And with irresistible, spirit State’s
sons hurled themselves into the con
flict, driving fiercely backward Cap
tain Seeley and his veterans. Now it
was Mcllveen,’ now Yeckley, now
George McGee, or Bill Wray, or
Smith,with every State man at his
back, as with State’s frenzied stands
a mad ocean of waving “White and
Blue,” that Dickinson’s cohorts were
twice swept the length of the field in
the victorious whirlwind of “Old
State’s rushes. •
With the inspiring memory of last
year’s splendid triumph to encour
age them, the members of this sea
son’s 'Varsity will go into the Dick
inson struggle knowing that the bat
tle will prove a desperate one and
determined to add another success to
the glorious annals of their “Alma
Mater.” The game will in all likeli-
hood prove the finest gridiron strug
gle that Williamsport has ever wit
nessed.
