,o Delegates to Represent Penn
State at Princeton Confer
ence Next Week
Penn State ia'taking a prominent
mrt In one of the foremost questions
)t the day and has the honor of being
the originator of a collogo student
movement that will have no small In
fluence on the future history of the
world The largest coUeges and ‘ uni
versities of the country aro taking a
lively interest In the question of lim
iting tho armaments supported by the
different nations in an effort to bring
about stabiized world conditions Penn
State and Princeton are leading in tbls
far-reaching movement and both have
planned conferences although the plans
‘ formulated by the different institutions
vnry fm certain fundamentals and both
huve their strong adherents
' Question of Recent Origin
The first 1 time that this weighty mat
ir was considered from a college stud
nt viewpoint was at the international
onventlon of tho Y M. C A. held in
lew York City during the latter part
f September Mr. Frank Olmstead,
ecretary of the local Y If C A, unit
epresented tho Penn State student
ody at this conference and brought the
riessage back to the students upon
is return to "‘the college and upon the
pcnlng' of the school term A mass
leeting was called on October fourth
nd three days later, the student body
ssembled to discuss tho question The
tudent body and Student Council ad
pted the plan as outlined at that time
md invitations wore sent to twenty
mo of tho leading institutions of the
inion to take port In tho program. To
ate, over twelve replies have been re
eived and all have favored tho plan
i the highest of terms and coming
rom all parts of the country form a
epresentatlve opinion of the present
ay college student. - ■ "
The entire matter is admirably sum
led’up'ln,the words of the resolution
umviu '-passed pt a 4 student
nee held in New York on-October six
2onth of representatives from the
tree main units into which the coun-
ry has been divided This resolution
ends* “Resolved, That these’ three
leld councils go on record os in favor
>f tho reduction of world armament so
.s to retain such forces only as may
ie necessary to police the world for
he maintenance of peace ” (
To supplement the meeting held In
•Jew York, tho Penn State Student
Jouncil .voted to send two delegates to
he conference that is to be held at
Princeton on October twenty-sixth
Phis meeting is a vital-part of the
Princeton plan for the consideration of
his question and it is therefore fitting
hat Penn State should be represented.
Princeton Plan '
Princeton first voiced Its feeling on
his matter on October second when
’resident Hibben of that institution. In
tis matriculation address, sot forth tho
lesirability of students participating in
he discussion of world questions and
mggestod that Princeton take steps to
irlng about this condition Invitations
vcrc sent out to all eastern colleges to
issomble at Princeton through their
opresentatlvcs on October twenty
ibcth for tho purpose of giving this
nattor thorough consideration and for
he purpose of deciding definitely upon
[Ulck and decisive action. '
An excellent program has been ar
unged for this date and the Penn
State delegates will be expected to take
l leading part In the conference. Meot
ngs are schdulcd to be held in tho of
ernoon at three o’clock and at night
it eight thirty o'clock. The confer-
ince Is to' lost only one day so that
ill eastern institutions will .know of
ho action takon before tho end of the
voek Over one hundred institutions
vill bo entertained at Princeton at this
ime
The Penn State Fiun
The plans os outlined by Penn State
Is wider in Its scope and provides for
more definite action ovor a longer per
iod of time. As ,is contained in the
message sent out to all colleges of the
country from Dartmouthsto Georgia
Tech and from Penn to tho University
of Washington, Penn Stato suggests
that' student action favoring disarma
ment be taken at moss mootings held
at the different institutions and de
side-for themselves tho procedure that
seems tho more acceptable No little
important item of this plan Is that the
many moss meetings bo held on the
some date, preferably December second
and that tho resolutions passed at these
meetings be wired to the conference
that will bo sitting at Washington at
this time These resolutions would
thon bo presented to tho leading pow
ers of tho world assembled at the
Washington conference and Immediate
actlofi solicited ,
Tho Washington conference is tho
culminating point in the Penn State
plan and deserves explanation. This
conference Is to consist of representa
tives Of the.leading countries of tho
world, of the chief officials of our own
country and of student delegates K lA.t
the siting which will be held on Dec
ember third, tho resolutions) that have
boon passed at tho mass meetings l of

will come to-morrow when the yearl
ings tackle the Mercersburg Academy
eleven at Mercersbuig This will mark
the first game plajcd by the Freshmen
on a foreign field this year and the
game promises, to be a hard fought one
for the Mercersburg team Is one of
the most formidable in eastern academy
football circles. Last Saturday the
Princeton freshman eleven met the
Mercersburg team on the gridiron and
It was only after a long and hoird fight
that the tiger cubs emerged from the
fray a victor, having but one touch
down and a goal to its credit This
7-0 defeat administered by the tigers
has helped the Mercersburg eleven in
that the entire team Is rallying and
will put up a desperate attempt to
come through tho rest of the season
undefeated
The Freshmen, in contemplation of
a very diflcult game, have been train
ing more strenuously th in ever during
the past week Earl> in the week
scrimmage took place between the
first squad of Lion Cubs and Bez
dek’s third varsity and rushed thi u
them for several touchdowns Last
night the yearlings worked very hard
and long, the - first team ploughing
through the third team for big gains
the greater part of the scrimmage Most
of the men who pla>ed on the regular
Hne-up In tho Mansfield game are con
tinuing to show up well and their lab
ors should warrant them the opport
unity of entering In tomorrow’s game
C Burdan, a hundred and ninety-five
pounder who-hatls from Lebanon High
has been .very conspicuous on the field
this week. Burdan originally tried
out for the center position but was later
changed to' a,tackle and it Is In that
position on the second team rthat he
had been doing such good work.
.Coach Herman will < Invade'Mercers
butg tomorrow fThe
-entire team"
field gafne will lino up again In the
same .way. with the - exception that
Cooke'will in all probability be replac
ed by Anderson at right end. Cooke
has been out of the game the greater
part of the season with a bad shoulder
The Injury healed up sufficiently for
him to take part in the Mansfield game
where he was again injured In addi
tion to tho regular players, the coach
Is taking seven extra men to the game
These are Wilson, who was mentioned
before as doing good work at fullback
on the second team, Tost, who played
a good game as guard in tho Mansfield
game, Webster who Is being taken al
ong as a substitute center, Malln, who
Is an extra guard, Wirt, an extra end,
Kratz.- an extra halfback and Tays who
originally held down the quarterback
position on the first Freshman team

girl students for their participation In
the recent tag day
As explained in another article of the
Collegian, ,the disarmament question
Is assuming great prominence in col
lege circles today and since Penn State

the present conditions existing In the
State College postal service and to
make efforts to better these conditions
For the size of the tow-n and tho

students and townspeople and more
ample facilities secured
The noteworthy success of tho recent
tag day that was staged lor the pur
pose of securing funds with which to

tending a yote of thanks and appre
ciation to „ the Girls’ Committee for
their hearty cooperation
The rush that is present at the gat
• es adjoining New Beaver Field at everj

warrant serious consideration for a
possible remedy and so Student Coun
cil elected P D McElflsh '22 to bring
this condition to the attention of the
Student Manager of Football and of
the Graduate Manager of Athletics, ask
Ing them to attempt to eliminate this
rush by erecting more entrances to the
field Action of this wind woutd be
