THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving Day! How reminiscent to all of us. How often
in future days, it will return to us memories of times spent under the
Blue and White. How each year in its turn it reminds us of Him,
who made all possible. Seniors who spend their last Thanksgiving
Day os undergraduates at this, our beloved Alma Mater; men who
play their last moleskin contest for her honor; all unite in the glori
fication of that day. It is truly a time of Thanksgiving, not only for
the world at large, but even moreso than ever before for all Penn State,
alumni os well as undergraduates.
A time of Thanksgiving for all, because we have cause to be ap
preciative of all the good things we, personally, have received during
the past year. Aid from home; aid from friends; aid from the great
Commonwealth in which we live and aid through the legislative rep
resentatives of the people of this state, the men who have learned of
the college’s need; have all combined for our good. We are thankful
because our college has grown and is growing and have only the re
gret that she cannot at present be larger, but have replaced that re
gret with the shining hope that future days will be brighter and will
bring greater days to our home here in the Nittany hills. We are
thankful that we had such a college as Penn State to enter and in
which to mould our lives We are thankful that outside interests have
taken a hand in the great work of makini it known and felt through
the state that in this central portion or the commonwealth lies the
greatest state institution of the greatest state in the country. We
have appreciated the interest taken by the State Chamber of Com
merce, the Rotarians and by virtue ofVthts interest taken a new
aspect, a broader view of the things lie before us and have
therefore taken heart and renewed our determination to make these
things realities. Above all, we arc thankful to Him, that Almighty,
■who has given us power and has given power to all the Alumni and
the business men of the state and all others whose influence can mean
big things to our college, because we realize that all must come through
Him and we therefore can feel that He has had a hand in this work.
It means much to Penn State students, this realization of the help
we have received and can receive. It gives us that needed incentive
of putting our shoulders to the wheel and giving all our projects a
strong start and a continued, heavy support until they are completed.
Let us all remember these things and return from our period of rest
and Thanksgiving with hearts more fully determined to carry on our
own scholmstic and athletic work to higher planes of efficiency; to “put
across” the projects which may arise for the betterment of our college;
and to remember that above it all and in it all is One who will aid us
wherever we need His help.
THE PITT GAME
With the last game of the present football season but two days
away, football cnthusiats arc looking forward to another example
of Penn State playing such as was seen m the Pitt contest last
year and against Dartmouth and Nebraska this season. But Penn
State students, while viewing this contest and measuring its prob
able result, arc not overconfident. They have, on the contrary, a
spirit of great faith in the team and in every individual and know
that each will do his best. With this faith comes the encourage
ment of all Alumni and so the COLLEGIAN says to the football
team, for the students and Alumni of this college: "We are back of
you. We realize the extent of the fight you will be required to make
and are consequently dcsinous of conveying to you the spirit which
you will find on all sides of you when you go to Forbes Field to bat
tle with the Pitt eleven. We believe in you as we have believed in
you all season; as we have believed in other Penn State teams and
as other Penn State men have had faith in their respective teams
and that you might go into that contest with the the knowledge
that Penn State, entire, whole-hearted, from Students to Alumnus is
with you and bears with you in all your trails for the Blue and White,
we say, "Go in and win!’ ”
CLASS SPIRIT
Last Saturday the first clash between the two underclasses took
place. From first nppcarcncc, the large number of men who turned
out to defend their class honors demonstrated that in these two classes,
that love of class, that desire to hold and cherish class honor, was
preeminent. After the scrap, however, activities occurred which dem
onstrated that these men, freznied by a false impression of class
spirit, began again to lose all regard of others’ property and all re
gard of that very thing they held so highly—-class honor. There
certainly no just occasion j for the clash which occured at the
Armory after the scrap was over.
The clothing which Freshmen had deposited in the Armory before
the scrap should have been removed immediately after that affair
had ended. There should have been no questioning this right. Again,
because the doors were barred, the proper thing to have done would
havcbccn to notify the authorities in charge and have them sec that
things were adjusted. There certainly should not-have been any
such action as did take place. * What the result will be cannot yet
be determined. The Student Damage Fund will probably be called
upon again and the students will have robbed • themselves of what
would be a great aid in their Senior year when they prepare for their
memorial to the college. What did occur was not class spirit. It
was a spirit of rowdyism, a spirit of destruction, of revenge, of over
heated brains, of'hcads which should have been ruled by discretion.
If underclassmen believe that class spirit entails a showing of such
activities, then it is high time that they be instructed in the real mean
ing of that so vital to college life. College property is the property
of the students and the Alumni and tho commonwealth and should be
cared for by every student during the time he is privileged to make
use of it. Let us have no more such actions in the future.

PENN STATE COLhEGIAN
There wan plenty of disappointment
expressed last Saturday afternoon
when the pushball gave way under tho
strain of so many bodies pushing ag
ainst It. Both classes displayed much
spirit ns thoy exchanged yells across
tho nold and they fought gamely until
tho unexpected happoned. As tho sec
ond period neared its close, tho largo
leather ball tore open nlong a seam and
In but a moment the bladder was forc
ed through tho opening and burst. Tho
match was well conducted and much
credit should bo given to tho mombors
of tho Student Council who brought
this about Tho olllclals of tho scrap
were* C. A. Brumbaugh '2l, starter, and
8. W. Guthrie, '2l, tlmor. Duo to thoir
supervision, tho Infractions of tho rules
wero reduced to a minimum.
Tho Freshmen assembled In tho Ar
mory at ono o'clock with tho spirit
which characterized all first year class
es. They woro then Instructed by up
per classmen who told them to fight
their hardest against their opponents
and that the pain of swinging paddles
existed only in tho thoughts of thorn.
This was pleasant music to tho oars of
tho new' men until tho Sophs omorged
from their mooting placo in Old Chapel
and thoir minds then turned to devising
schemes to dodge the swinging hick
ory. When the Sophs had formed a
duublo lino from the Armory to tho
Track House, the Frosh woro given
the opportunity to test thoir running
abilities and little tlmo was lost In do
ing so After the last Freshman had
passed through the danger zone, the
Sophomores proceeded to Old Beaver
Held whero they lined up on tho oppo

Both classes faced each other on a
muddy field and much troublo was ex
perienced In reaching tho center of tho
Held where tho ball w*as being pushed
about by ilvo muscled members of each
class who wero trying to start It to
ward their respective goal lines. Both
groups met at mid-field whore thoy
fought for nvo minutes In an effort to

top of the ball whero tlmo and ngaln a
Soph or Frowlt was forced to give up
his position to a more nggressivo op
ponent, In the second period, tho
Sophs took the Frosh by surprlso and
took the ball within a few foot of their
goal and were prevented from putting
It across because of Us rolling out of
bounds The ball wus again put Into
play and the Frosh forced It back about
fifteen yards before they wero stopped.
With the battle bolng waged In Frosh
territory, tho end came. A scrap not
on tho program was then Instituted
It was decided that pieces of tho bladder
would niako tine souvenirs and there
was a mad scnunblo for tho remains of
tho rubber.
It is improbable that thoro will l>o
another pushball scrap this year as the
tlmo Is limited. Tho scrap will, of
courso, bo hold again next year but
the possibility of another meet during
tho present college year is very doubt
ful.

was In chargo of tho meeting, offered
Homo suggestions concerning tho push

gauntlet In conjunction with tho event.
President Schuster next told of tho need
of men for tho class football team and
