State Col. Vol. 111, No. 3 The Wrestling Match The wrestling match last Friday night resulted in a close victory for the Sophomores. They won two out of three falls in the light and middle weight classes, but only af ter they had been long and hotly contested. The contest began about eight o'clock after the Freshmen had marched from the Armory to Beaver Field,and formed on the left side of the ropes surrounding them at. We should judge, from the size of the yelling mass at the left, that every Freshman had turned out. As soon as they got into position,the cheering was begun, and for fifteen minutes, the Seniors in the right end of the grandstand or the Juniors in the left or the Sophomores or Freshmen on either side of the ring below, were giving a college yell, a class yell, or some other kind of yell. After some dispute regarding eligibility had been settled, the wrestlers came on the field: Killam, Maurhoff, and Kleback, Sopho mores; and Buka, Smith, and Mc- Cleary, Freshmen. "Pop" Golden. as usual was referee. After "Pop,' had made the usual preliminary an nouncements, the two light-weights, Killam and Buka, shook hands and started in. Buka worked fast and hard, and in a little over a minute and a half had Killam on his back. "Doc" hardly had time to com mence work, and was greatly sur prised at the result. The middle weight bout between Maurhoff and Smith was longer. It took about three and one-half minutes, and was won by Smith, who was quick in throwing. He lifted his man in the air nearly every Continued on page 9 STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBBER 4, 1906 Off for Harrisburg I This morning shortly after five o'clock the cadet battalion left for what promises to be the most inter esting trip of the year ; namely, to take part in the dedication of the new Capitol at Harrisburg.

In a well contested and cleanly played game of foot ball, State de feated the Allegheny College eleven on Beaver Field last Saturday after noon. The Alleghenians have a fairly heavy team, and they put-up an aggressive fight from the start, giving a much harder game than had been generally expected here. A series of fine end runs by Coulson and McCleary were mainly responsi ble for some quick scoring in the first half, the interference being very compact and effective. Here's the way the game was played. "Mother" Dunn answered the referee's whistle by kicking off for 50 yards to Nelson, who rushed back 12 in fine style. Then came a fumble by Allegheny, and on the next try Nelson got one yard at end, after which Benedict made a short punt of 20 yards, the ball rolling out of bounds. For State, the initial at tempt was a fumble; then "Hi" Henry raced around the end for 15 yards; then came another fumble, McCleary regaining the oval for a 2 yard gain; Burns drew applause by a 16 yard sprint around left end, and then another fumble. McCleary forced his way through a mix-up for a 2 yard advance. but Maxwell dropped the ball on the next try, and it went to the Alleghe nians. Nelson squeezed a yard off end, but on the next play the Mead ville collegians fumbled, and Hersh man fell on the ball for State. Coulson snapped off 10 around end, then 8 more, and his old side pal McCleary completed a good job by smashing through for 3 yards and a touch down. Wray's try for goal went too low. Score sto 0.
