A CHAMPIONSHIP FRESHMAN TEAM
With the regular freshman football season now a matter of his
tory is is only right and proper in according honor where honor is
due, that full measure of credit be given the 1920 team which repre
sented the College on the gridiron during the past fall. Called
upon to face the hardest schedule that had ever been arranged for
a Penn State freshman team, Captain "Dick" Rauch and his men
have established a freshman championship record that stands un
equalled in the annals of the College. By clean cut victories over
the freshman teams of Pitt and Penn, Penn State's 1920 team
holds undisputed sway in the state of Pennsylvania, and since the
Penn and Pitt freshmen were victors over the first year teams of
Syracuse and Cornell, respectively, Coach Herman's men may also
claim championship honors in New York as well as in Pennsylvania.
Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the freshman success
this season, however, is to be found in the bright prospect which
has been opened up for the varsity teams of the future. Following
the same style of play as that used by the varsity players, the men
developed on this year's freshman team should prove a tower of
strength on the varsity squad of next year. Parenthetically it may
be remarked that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and in
this connection it is interesting to note that eight members of last
year's freshman team played consistently good football as members
of this season's varsity team.
In recounting the success of the freshman team during the
1916 season, the record would be incomplete without a sincere ap
preciation of the work of "Dutch" Herman, who in his two years
of coaching at Penn Skate has never had a defeat recorded against
the teams developed under his tutelage. Standing for the highest
standards of fair play and sportsmanship, "Dutch" Herman has
given Penn State a freshman team in keeping with the best spirit of
the College and that means a team of which every Penn State stu
dent can well feel proud. .
THE PROPER USE OF TITLES
For some time there has existed at Penn State a certain con
dition in regard to class room etiquette that might well be made
the subject of a brief discussion. The condition referred to is the
lack of discrimination shown by some students in addressing the
members of the faculty by their proper titles. This disregard for
proper distinctions in the use of titles is undoubtedly more notice
able among the students in the lower classes than among those
who have reached their senior and junior years. Nearly all of us
can probably hark back to our underclassmen days when everyone
from the head of a department to the student assistant in the labor
atory was dignified with the title of professor.
Now such a habit on the part of a student must be the result
either of sheer ignorance or a desire to flatter the person addressed.
In most cases it is probably the result of ignorance rather than a
desire to flatter. But however that may be, the practice itself can
not be too sevrrely condemned. In the first place a title of honor
becomes a mere empty phrase and in the second case there is no
distinction made in according honor where honor is due.
It would indeed be well for those who have heretofore paid
scant attention to the matter, to remember that only members of
the faculty who have obtained recognition as professors should be
addressed by such a title; that only those men who have obtained
doctors' degrees should be addressed by the title of doctor; and
that other members of the faculty s' uld be addressed simply in
the manner which is used in addressing persons of more mature
The subject which has been taken up in the foregoing para
graphs may seem rather small and inconsequental in itself, but
for all that a proper distinction in the use of titles is a mark of
courtesy that no student should disregard, for by his attitude in
this respect does he place himself among either the well-bred or
the ignorant.
And now basketball leaps into prominence in college athletics
with the football season gone into history. The two popular win
ter sports, basketball and wrestling, will bid for the interest and
support of the student body. Strong schedules have been arranged
by the respective managers of both sports and prospects point to
teams of high caliber. On Saturday evening the basketball team
will be seen in its opening game in the Armory against a strong
opponent and at the very start we wish success to the Blue and
White quintet.
