Thursday Morning, November 2L 1940 President Hetzei Faces The Press in granting a football half-holiday Saturday against established College tradition, President Hetzel has in some measure answered the metro politan sports writers for his alleged desire to see Penn State's team lose. President Hetzel probably has not meant to re ply at all. The fun that has been had over the finis-quotations laid to him have been enjoyed by him as much as anyone else. What President Hetzel actually said in speeches last year before the Pittsburgh alumni and before the 1939 football banquet was something entirely different. Incidentally, at that time one Pitts burgh scribe wrote a full column lauding the talk. He. pointed out• the damaging effects that con sistent victory over many years (not just one or two) can have on the morale of a college. Lest anyone not hearing all the arguments disagree with this thesis, Collegian would suggest that he consider the sad plight of the athletic situation at Pitt both before and after it and all its conse quences broke around the Chancellor's burning ears. The granting of the holiday Saturday violates an agreement long ago signed by the students and faculty that students would not cut classes for football games if they were granted one holiday a year. This Saturday's will be the second in 1940. He's Agin it! For two-thirds of the nation today is Thanks giving Day. Not so for Pennsylvania and 15 other states. Although we can agree with Governor James on a lot of things, we can't agree with him on this. It is inspiring that the Republican Governor should first accept (as in 19391 the DemoCratic President's early Thanksgiving and then reject it (as this year). Perhaps he decided this shows he is now thinking for himself. Let us give thanks for democracy and thinking for-yourself governors both today and next Thurs day.• . . Let us, too, make a note for future generations. We will tell them that by 1940 American demo cracy had become so virile that America had a minority against everything. even Thanksgiving. Monday Morning Quarterbacks It's time for the Monday morning quarterback to re-call the signals on Soph Hop. The financial reportl - snt - out yet, but indications are that the Hop lost $350. There is quite an array of possible factors: Bob Chester's orchestra did not have a name up to the standard usually set for big dances. Formal dress might have been more popular. Student pocketbooks are thoroughly drained by the succession of Temple, Houseparty, and Syra cuse weekends. Some students may have been holding out their few remaining dollars for Pitts burgh next weekend. The NYU football game generated none of the advance interest that the Pitt game attracted to Soph Hop weekend last year. No matter what factor or factors are to blame it is discuoraging to see Soph Hop lose the spot it held last year as a record money-maker and add another dance to the long list of Soph Flops. The big question is whether a change in the date or in the method of conducting the dance would have brought it any more success. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St Dial 4372 _Ross B.

The Sun says "they ian's trophy with a nerve-tingling will be slaughtered." Undaunted by this display of pseudo-courage The Collegian replies, Too! Woo! Let us at 'em." The Collegian offers as hostage for its honor the anonymous coed pictured on page one. Unlike the ,Sun, The Collegian will not make the reservation to the winner "that she can be kept liar a limited - time only"' but declares "if we can't win with this inspiration; she's all yours." Anyway we'll moider the bums. Following is the challenging let ter sent from The Collegian office yesterday: To the Editors of The Cornell, Daily Sun and The Daily Penn sylvanian Sirs: Our president is opposed to our winning all the time because it creates poor sportsmanship. However, The Daily Collegian of The Pennsylvania State Col lege boasts a touch football team that hasn't won a game and hasn't scored a point. Also, it hasn't played. By virtue of this, we enter any future contest with full presidential support. Therefore, after you gentle men have aired your differences on Franklin Field this Satur day, we challenge the winner to a Hope Bowl contest on .New Year's. Day to decide for all time who is better, the Winner of Penn-Cornell or Penn State. We have our own opinions,. gentleman. May we advise you, Penn, that your goal posts will-remain intact as we now 'uproot only our own unless the touch rule is violated. „ May we - advise you, Cornell, that you. may bring along entire bench full of white cylin'- ders and may have five downs on request at any time during the game. In return, we request that no Mention be made of the 1939 Penn State-Cornell varsity score. Our boys play, for inspiration, not for money. Therefore we are offering our own trophy to join with the Cornell Daily Sun Trophy, winner take all. Sincerely yours, The Daily - Collegian. BEAT PITT
