State 27—Altoona 0. State opened her football season by defeating the crack Altoona Athletic Association eleven on Saturday in a clean, snappy game. Although the hard rain during the second half put the field in bad shape, great inter est was manifested at all times The game was closely watched by the coaches and many substitutions were made to try out the new men. The Altoona team war fully as heavy as 0..1r5, but they lacked team work and State's goal was in no danger at any time during the game. Altoona kicked off to McCleary who ran the ball back CO midfie:d and on a forward pass and a short kick by "Bull," Burns scored the first touchdown within a minute aftei the whistle blew. Flom that time on it was little more than a practice game for State in which the forward pass and other tricks were frequent ly used. In the second half the rain put the field in such bad shape that line plunges and kicks were frequent y resorted to. Haverstick kicked a beautiful field goal from the 40 yard mark. In the evening the teams were the guests of the "Miss Bob White" company at the Altoona theatre. Tne line-up : STATE ALTOONA Cyphers Hand... MEM 13821121 MEM Touchdown— Burns. McCleary 2, Hirshman.

State nas already had her first football game, and from all appear ances everything points to a very successful season for Captain "Bob bie" Burns and his sturdy followers. THE STATE COLLEGIAN Over forty candidates are working hard daily on Beaver field to make a team that will try to excel our last 3 ear's enviable record. Of the old veterans, there still remain Mc- Cleary, Coulson, Hirshman, and Vorhis in the backfield, Burns, Max well and Campbell at end, and Kunkle and Cyphers at guard The loss of Dunn at center, Wray and Gotwals at tackle, and Henry at quarter is a handicap which will be sorely felt by the team. "Mother" Dunn's place will be the haraest to fill. It will be no easy task for the coaches to find a worthy successor to our All American center, although Grey and Weaver are promising candidates. For the tackles there are 5.....:ith, a brother of the famous Andy Smith, of Mercersburg, Bailey, Ritchey, and Hand. Abel and Ayers ate showing up well at end, while Zink, McMahon, Bar nett, and Jones are doing good work in the backfield. Haverstick, of baseball fame, is showing up strong at quarter and distinguished himself in Saturday's game by his drop kicking. In the line of coaches we have the best to be had. "Tom" Fennell, one of the best on the gl idiron, is doing excellent work in drilling the men in preparation for the Indian game on Oct. 5. We are certainly to be congratulated on having such a man as coach. "Pop" Golden is showing his usual skill in keeping the men in physical trim. "Mother" Holland Nixcn Sheehan Holmberg Dunn is spending considerable time on the field. "Varsity" Bair, the sear end of Capt. Yeck'ey's team, is a new one on the list and can be depended upon to have an excellent set of ends. "Lefty" Mcilveen will soon be here to do the coaching in punting and running back kicks. The material is on the field for a good team, and the coaches will surely do their part. What is re quired is the earnest co-operation of the student body. Let us all get out and show the team that we ale backing them and backing them to win. If good plays are made let them know that we appreciate it,and above all, don't knock.
