STATE COLLEGE. PA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1920
J. STITT WILSON TO
VISIT PENN STATE
Popular Y. M. C. A. Evangelist
Will Deliver Four Lectures Here
In December.
For four days, from December the
ninth to December the twelfth, the fac
ulty ami .student body of Penn Suite
will lm fortunate in having with them
J. .Stitt Wilson, and to hear his four
famous addresses which constitute an
institute on "Constructive - Christian
Democracy.” Mr. Wilson comes to
State College through the efforts of
the Y. M. C. A. and will take the place
that Sherwood Eddy Ailed last spring
ill ills most successful religious cam
paign. Stitt Wilson is a different type
of man from Shcrwuud Eddy, fully as
great if not greater. The twufold pur
pose in bringing tills famous student
speaker to Penn State is to awaken
men to the appreciation of tho charae
ter and seriousness of modern soda!
and industrial problems and to help
them decide whether the Christian reli
gion offers tho solution of these prob
lems.
J. Stitt Wilson has had an over
whelming success in addressing stud
ents. Tills is strongly shown by the
fact that last year he conductor cam
paigns in more than fifty universities
find colleges. These institutions sire
.situated all over the United States and
consist of many of the largest schools
in the country. He has aroused the
greatest amount of interest everywhere
he lias been and much discussion but
seldom or never any criticism. An ex
ample of this is at the Ohio Slate Univ
ersity whore the greatest part of the
student body of six thousand heard
all of his messages. Hu had a most
astounding knowledge of. international
conditions along industrial and social
lines and Juts had many experiences in
testing whether Christianity will meet
these problems. A comment that is
many times heard concerning Mr. Wil
son is that he speaks not only with the
insight and courage of si prophet hut
also with Ute precision and accuracy of
a scientific mind.
All Praise Jilin
Wherever Mr. Wilson goes lie re
ceives great praise. Tills is especially
true of the schools at which lie has
spoken. Some comment has come from
many institutions which sums up his
personal qualities. “He is a man with
an unusual message for tills particular
hour," Is a statement that comes from
tlie executive of the Student Department
of tlie Intoi-national Committee of tho
Y. M. C. A. From tlie general consensus
of opinion a fair idea of the man may
he'obtained. "He is one of tho most
impelling and convincing speakers that
inis ever spoken to a student hotly.
“1 scarcely expected to become enthus
iastic about him. but after listening to
him for three days 1 am ready and
announce that lie is a wonder. The
things that Mr. Wilson speaks of sire
tilings Unit have been burnt into ills
heart and he in turn burns his convic
tions into tlie hearts of his audience.
There is undoubtedly not more titan
a handful of men in the nation to whom
the college student of today could as
profitably listen. "Ills message Is tlie
sort of stuff that ought to be gotten
Into the very lifeblood of the future
leaders of thought in America."
A Practical Man.
Besides having won a groat reputa
tion as a. religious speaker, .1. Stilt
Wilson has also won laurels as a prac
tical and scientific man. For three
years he .was Mayor of Berkeley, Calif
ornia ami there won respect and es
teem. It is staled that he is one of
the greatest orators in the State of
California. A great deal of his time
has been spent in lecturing on social
and industrial problems before all kinds
of meetings of men and women in this
country and in England. During tlie
war he was a tremendous) factor In
stimulating the loyalty and patriotism
of the people of this state, lie lost his
only son who was killed in the aviation
service, at Mather’s Field, Sacramento,
California. *

VARSITY SWAMPS
SOUTHERN ELEVEN
North Carolina Team Displays
Game Fight Against Smashing
Varsity Attack.
Facing two complete Blue ami White
teams, unable to gain effectively or
consistently against either,* powerless
before the smashing attack of their
opponents, the North Carolina State
gridiron warriors bowed before Penn
State to a -11 to 0 score on New Beaver
Field last Saturday afternoon. There
was little doubt after the first few
minutes of play as to the outcome of
the struggle, ns Coach Bezdck's men
simwed their superiority in every rc
parttncni, holding their op|>onents
scoreless, while they crossed the South
erners* goal lino six times and kept
the pigskin In their territory most of
the time. The day was somewhat too
warm to lie ideal from a football point
of view, and a strong north wind and
threatening clouds marked the first
part of the contest, hut nevertheless,
both teams put snap into every play
and tlie game throughout was clean,
hardfought, and exciting to the large
crowd that witnessed It..
Two of Penn State's six touchdowns,
were made in each of the quarters ex
cept in the third. In the first period
Killinger and Haines each crossed the
.Carolinians* goal line, while in the sec
ond fifteen minutes of play Jones and
Haines added six points each to the
score. “Charlie" Way carried the oval
back of the goal posts twice in the
last quarter. Of the five successful
kicks, Rauch was responsible for three
and Way and Beck for one each. A
great deal of the ground gaining on
both sides, especially the Southerners'
was accomplished by end runs. Each
team.made numerous attempts to ad
vance the ball via the aerial route, but
the Blue amid White players had great-:
er success in tills method than their
opponents. North Carolina attempted
some passes, of which four were un
completed.. two intercepted, and one
successful. Penn State attempted
nine, of which four were uncompleted,
three intercepted, and two successful,
t*ne resulting In a first down and the
other In the third touchdown of the
game. The third quarter was the only
scoreless period, the Southerners play
ing a highly effective defensive game
and holding tliir own against the Nit
tany men. There wore no substitutions
made in the line up of either team
until near the close of the third period
and the first part of the fourth, when
Dc/.dck sent in an entirely new 'earn,
ami tlie backfield quartette of the op
posing team was replaced by a new
set of players..
Tlie Blue and White eleven plnyed
foot hail of high calibre and their work
was marked by that same coordination
of movement and team work that a’d
ed so greatly in vanquishing the strong
Dartmouth combination on Alumni
Homecoming Day. It is difficult to
single out any one of Penn State’s play
ers Saturday as the shining light of
the combat. Haines played 'oiiUinnPy,
figuring In many of the best ground
gaining runs and plunges and breaking
through the opposing team for several
.long rims. Rodlnger and Lightner
each played sterling games. Rcdinger's
interference work being especially not
able. Killinger proved himself an aide
general and a consistent ground gain
er. Way did not enter the game until
tlie last part of the tiiird period, but
after 1m did go in he played in his us-,
tm) superb style, eluding tacklers and
carrying tlie bail for long gains. Two
times during the last quarter he cross
ed North Carolina’s line for touch
downs. Beck. Schuster, Hess end
Rauch played well on the line. The
Southerners, although out-classed, put
itpono of the cleanest and gamost ex
hibitions seen on New Beaver for a
long time. Gurley. McCoy, and Hud
son played best, the latter two showing
great ability in returning punts and
kickoffs, and the former being able to
gain consistently at times and serving
ably as the pilot of his eleven.

JUNIORS VICTORIOUS IN
CROSS COUNTRY MEET
Freshmen Take Second Honors In
Inter-Class Event—Romig Stars
For Seniors.
In one of the closest races witnessed
here in several years, tlie harriers re
presenting the Class of 192“ won first
honors in the Inter-class Cross Country
rnotk conducted last Saturday after
noon, by finishing with a low score of
fifty five, wiille the Sophomores and
Seniors followed with* scores of fifty
eight and sixty one points, respectively.
Tlie race, which started at New Bea
ver Field at one o’clock last Saturday,
offered tlie first opportunity for Coach
Martin to see his candidates in compe
titive action, ami the result demon
strated that he has a squad under ids
supervision that is far from tnetlleore
in calibre. The outlook is especially
promising for the remainder of the year
in tlie case of the Freshmen, as they
pushed tiie Juniors hard for first place
in tlie intor-ciass race, and gave signs
of developing into a formidable team.
The running of Captain Romig, of the
varsity squad was especially remark
able, as he covered the four and a half
mile course in the unusually fast time
of twenty seven minutes and forty two
seconds, winning first place in the
nice. He showed that lie is back in
tlie running game this year with all of
his old time form and a great deal of
brilliant running may be expected from
him during the remainder of the sea
son. Another runner who showed ex
ceptional fieetness in the recent race
was Studenroth *23. who finished sec
ond. Studenroth came a comparatively
close second to Romig. crossing the
finish line only one minute and fifty
three seconds liehind the winner, and
completing the course in twenty nine
minutes and thirty-five seconds. The
next eight men to cross the tape in
the order named were Snyder '2l, Coop
er '2l, TtiyloV *22, Orr ’2l, Ink
*24. Carter *23. Wemier J 24 and Wil

the race was the largo number of stud
ents who participated. About sixty
five men started at the crack of tlie
'pistol and if is an encouraging fact
that only a few of them dropped out
and railed to complete _ the coarse.

MISS OLIVE KLINE ON
PENNA. DAY PROGRAM
Noted American Soprano To Give
Joint Concert With I’cnn Slate
Glee dull.
What promises to be one of the big
gest features on the program for IVun
sylvania Day which Is to be celebrated
this year on November sixth will un
doubtedly be the concert which .Miss
olive Kline, the well known soprano,
will render jointly with tlie IVnn State
Glee Club. According to Dean Robin
son of the Department of .Music, final
arrangements for bringing .Miss Kline
to tlii« institution on that date have
been completed and judging from the
program that is in the proeess of con
struction, music lovers will I>e accorded
one of tiie finest treats that lias ever
been offered in State College.
Miss Olivo Kline is a young Ameri
can singer who lias come into unusual
prominence lately. Dorn and reared in
New York State, tin* young soprano
began early to cultivate her natural
gift under careful tutelage of some
of the foremost musical directors in tho
United Slates. Her claims to the high
level on which critics have placed her
are first of course, a voice of peculiarly
clear quality and a natural gift to
indie it exquisitely, ami in the sceom
place she is declared to possess to a
remarkable degree, that unexplained
something which creates an atmosphere
t;f contentment in a concert hall.
From the way in which she has been
received at nil of Iter appearances, it
is evident >thnt the audience likes her
at first sight for she is always in good
Spirits, always sincere and natural^
Notable Concert Appearances.
Leading musical organizations all ov
er the country have featured Aliss
Kline. Included in this number may
lie listed the Chicago Symphony Or
chestra, the .Minneapolis Apollo Club,
and the Club of Washing
ton. Tim chief musical festivals held
in tlie United States have also included
her among the distinguished soloists
and her success in largo oratorio roles
Ims fully equalled her delightful re
cital achievements. A few festivals
at which Miss Kline's voice has ar
oused enthusiastic comment aro num
bered those held at Richmond, Va., Ann
Arbor, Oberlin, Ohio, Worchester, Mass.,
Buffalo, am! St. Louis.
When Miss Kline appears here, it
has been planned to have her render
the major part of the program, except
for tlie ojKinlng and closing numbers
in*whieh she will he aided by the Glee
Club. The closing number promises
to be the high water mark of the con
cert. inasmuch as tlie song Dial has
been selected is taken from Victor Her
bert's great success "Naughty Alariet
tsi." Tickets for the concert will bo
pul on sale at the Athletic Store in
tlie near future.
Oilier I’eiiua. Ray Features.
Other events. In-sides the concert by
Miss Kline, promise to crown the ac
tivities here over the Pennsylvania
Day week end. On Friday, November
fifth, practically every Penn State
house party with a dance, at the var
fraternity will begin the annual fall
ious chapter houses. A cadet review
on Saturday morning by some promin
ent military official whose name has
not yet been announced will l>e the
starter for the events of that day. Fol
lowing on the heels of this affair will
Jie the inter-sectional class itetween the
Blue and White gridiron warriors and
the University of Nebraska eleven. This
football contest will no doubt be a bit
terly waged struggle and should prove
intensely investing to. the large crowd
always present at this time of the
year.
