Higher Academic Standards Promised
Anotliet tendency of the times Is to
broaden public edi cation and to raise
the academic standards Penn State
intends to be in the liont rank again,
uiged on hv tho alumni and friends of
the college who have often expiucavd
their dosiio that butter academic woik
be pioduccd at the institution cn the
pait of the entire student body
‘The pilmaiy icsponslbllltj In this
matitei lests with the udmlnlstritlvo
officers and the instiucling staff. No
bodj of students cun be expected to
maintain woilhy standaids If tho re
quirements are lax ind if ehncioom
exercises are dull and spiritless But
on the other hand, ro teachers aro ua
bi llliant and no rules arc sufflclentlj
llgld co establish pioper scholarship
standards in the fice of a student
sentiment hostile to the spirit of gcr
uino studj “
Because of the . pecullai position
which Penn State fills among Ameri
can colleges, the gieat major u> of tho
students attend with a vocational pui
pnse In mind nnd this causes a ser
iousness to register Itself on tho camp

0 With only a little over a week re
maining before the opening of the 1921
season, the vaisity football squad is
engaging in strenuous dally secret
practices on New Bc.iv or Field. The
gioup of candidates who are out for
mosltlons now includes enough meni
bcis for about foui complete elevens,
and the coaching staff is sparing no
effort to select from this number a
team that will bo well grounded and
well rounded by the time the gridiron
warriors fiom Lebanon Volley invade
Nittany Valley With tho rapid ap
proach of the season, hopes on the
part of the couching staff for a con
sistently winning aggregation arc* not
unduly, for a great deal of Intensive
training and improvement are still ne
cessary befoic predictions for a de
featless season are justified One of
the hardest schedules that can be Im
agined is in store for Penn State this
fall and a virtually new and untried
team must be put in the field to cope
with It
What was probably the last open
practice befoic* the opening of tho sea
son was held last Saturday afternoon
Since then. Coach Bezdek has sus -
rounded his men with a figurative bar
ricade during practice, in order that
the presence of crowds of spectators
may not detract the attention of the
coacher and candidates from the work
in hand and so allow us much work as
possible to be, done In the tremendous
task of whipping the team Into shape

tually the same as listed In the COL
LEGIAN of last Monday, with the ex
ception of n few additions There are
now enough candidates to form four
complete teams in scrimmage practice.
Coach Bezdek is devoting much time In
the training peilods to scrimmage,
dullv pi ictiicc battles being hold No
varsity team has been definitely picked
us yet. Conch Be/ilck Is constantly
shifting candidates from one te up to
the other In an effort to put out the
best possible aggiegatlon The team
that will defend the Blue and White
one week from tomouow against Leb
anon Valley will piobably not bo chos
en until the middle of next week
A regular practice game between tho
first and second teuns will be held
