Heater of Intoreollofflato Now«p»per AitodflUo* FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1920 HAVE WE LEFT GOD OUT? "Pray without ceasing" commanded the Men centuries ago, and from that time, the foundation of Christianity has been pray er. To accept prayer blindly is a fallacy likewise to follow a set form merely from habit usually is of little avail. Real prayer is intensive, requiring energy and effort. It’s no small task to really pray—it’s a job large enough to challenge all. Prayer is a heartfelt desire spontaneously expressed to God. A real prayer grips the person who prays man unmistakeable way. It is man’s means of communication with God—as Frank Buchman sayS "A Long Distance Telephone with God.." By it, man is lifted to higher planes, ideals are strengthened and an inspiration for work results. Prayer satisfies, for by it man tends to forget himself and lays his burdens and problems on God. Prayer is an acknowledgement of the omnipotence and omniprcscce of God. By this acknowledgement man becomes a better servant to his fellows. Penn State has problems to solve, problems of the individual and of the group. The Honor System time and again is discussed. Gam bling, petty thieving, hazing and a multitude of other questions face us every year, and in the majority of cases, little seems to be accom plished in their alleviation Can it be possible that God has been left out of the calculations? Penn State is not t&o small for God to no tice, nor so good that He is not needed Why not give Him a chance? When these problems again arise, should we not be prepared'to meet them with a sense,of Judgmcaumre-ihan human? We areall_anx timeto occasionally turn out desires God-ward, believing that from Him, a degree of satisfaction and an abundance of wisdom will come. WHERE WE STAND Student Council’s action last Tuesday evening in regard to the betting of large sums of money on athletic contests and in general, was a most commendable one. It was decided that gambling on a large scale, pooling of large sums of money and telegraphic wiring of money from organizations and individuals of one college to those of another should be most decidedly discouraged. It is also very pleasing to note how the leading men about college, not only students connected with student affairs, but faculty men connected with both faculty and student affairs have lined up on one side against the practice which, unfortunately, has been with us at several instances this fall. The decision thus reached is a weighty one and one which should in the future bring about a better relationship between college students.here and at other institutions. Whether betting, as it is meant in this sense, is right or not from the college man’s standpoint is a matter which we believe will in some future day be thrashed out and recommendations toward discourage ment of which will also be made. Wc arc more vitally concerned at present with the proposition of decreasing the amount and the num ber of bets that arc being handled between students and student or ganizations of contesting colleges. It is a high hope which has been reached by the opponents of betting that the amount and number of bets will soon be decreased to a sufficient degree and sentiment creat ed against it so greatly that in the near future there will be no more such practices conducted by college students, whether for their own desires or acting for another. Betting on the whole has always been looked upon ns an undesirable method of handling one’s money, the belief being that it rather encourages men to be reckless, tends to make them less law or conscience abiding and certainly has no moral backing. Telegraphing large sums of money, pooling, and betting on a large scale, are certainly undesirable things for college men. Not one of these increases their love and loyalty to tho college; It does not increase their ardor and faith in the teams. .It does place sports and college activities on a commercial basis and detracts mightily from the true meaning of college spirit. At Penn State men are strong in their faith and loyalty to all that means Alma Mater. There is not a single act which would detract from the good name of the college that a Penn State man would perform were he advised properly be forehand that it were a wrong against himself and his college. No college can afford to go on with a name held high when its students make of their activities and those of the student representatives, a commercial proposition. The great difficulty in most cases lies in the fact that a college student or group of students will advise those of other colleges that they have a certain,amount of money which they are desirous of laying against a like amount or a proportionate am ount produced by tho other student or students, on tho results of a contest in which teams of the two colleges in quesion will meet. It is possible that these men call this operation an example of college loy alty and spirit, but in truth it is merely a hollow, selfish desire to,pro fit in any easy manner by the recklessness and chance taking spirit of another, leaving the contest itself, or the work of the men on the teams but a minor feature, to be commended if the team wins and to be Tidiculed or mocked if it loses. It is this spirit of recklessness, this desire for personal gain, this desire to appear well in the eyes' of one’s fellows ,by n- large display of currency, that will in some future day wreck the fondest dreams of many a future citizen and many, a.col* lege. Remember, above all, your college comes first. Let this-point guide you in the future when personal acts may jeopardize her*good name.

At present tho Bureau of Chemistry has seven different projects In more or loss partial stato of complotlon. It Is expected that tho work of perfecting tho engineering features will bo carried on in only one coso this year but tho field of service that may bo developed from this small beginning promlsos to bo very great.

On tho twonty-flfth of November, 1910, tho biggest crowd that had over witnssed a football gamo In Pittsburgh saw Cap tain Gray's valiant mon loso to Pitt 11 to 0 on tho Forbes Hold gridiron. It was'ono of tho games!‘Strugglos over put up by any Blue and TCblto team. Pitt's ,only i first downs came os the result of well directed passes whllo State's backs gained consistently by lino plunging, yet , wore "outlucfcod” and lout by two touchdowns. "Shorty" Mil ler was tho star of tho gams and el ectrified tho crowd at tlmos by splendid end runs Nino years ago on Thanksgiving day. Penn Stato closed a brilliant football season with a three to nothing victory ovor tho University of Pittsburgh. Tho game was played on Forbos Field In mud ankio-doop but this did not provont It from being a remarkablo gamo. It was one of tho closest and most bitterly contested battles ovor staged by teams representing tho two Institutions. Cap tain Very, loador of tho Btuo and White elovon, played a wonderful gamo at right end and provod himself worthy of tho honor conferred upon him when ho was chosen as a-running partner to White of Princeton on several All-Am erican teams. On "Turkey 1 ' day oight years ago, Captain Mautho, with hts Blue and Whlto warriors, administered to Pitt an overwhelming dofeat on Forbos Field, conquering thorn by a score of 38 to 0. Tho Bluo and Whllo outclassed tho Bluo and Gold in every department of tho gamo. Stato had more speed, was hotter trained, possessed moro versat ility In her groatcr number of plays, and showed better command of all plays at tempted. In this gamo Captain Mautho kicked tho longest field goal reported for tho soason. - In 1913,' under tho most unfavorable weather conditions imaginable, tho Un- jirmg ~ 'Their clothes to- us for cleaning, pres sing and ropalrlng.
