PRESIDENT THOMAS !
ADDRESSES MEETING !
AT STATE CAPITAL!
Deplores Lack of Facilities at Penn
State liefore Industrial
Relations Conference
NEED STATE UNIVERSITY
Points Out Necessity of Change
Here —Praises Work of Ex
tension Department
Declaring i hut. the* oloctrical Jincl me
chanical engineering courses at this
institution could have been filled four
times over with well qualified Pennsyl
vania boys had there been room for
them this fall. President John M.
Thomas told the Industrial Relations
Conference at Harrisburg Wednesday
afternoon that this situation seemingly
implies almost criminal short-sighted
ness and economic waste.
“The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
will not do her duty by her boys or by
herself until an institution of higher
industrial training is provided free and
open to all alike and adequately equip
!>ed in the State's own university,” said
President Thomas. He compared the
facilities offered Pennsylvania boys for
training in industrial professions to
those in other states. He compared
the ten million dollar plant of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
with its nine million endowment to the
1660,000 buildings and $300,000 equip
ment of tbe Penn State engineering
school where more than 1100 students
arc enrolled.
“Money expended in industrial edu
cation of the highest grade is the wis
est investment any commonwealth can
make,” said Penn State's new head.
“There is no limit to the need of men
to construct and operate industrial
plants. It is the grossest improvidence
not to offer to the ambitious youth of
die state the best advantages they can
use. There should be one center of
higher industrial training in the State
entirely under the control of the peo
ple of the State and administered sole
ly with an eye to the general welfare.
The people as a whole have a right to
one institution where no man's dollar
influence policies and undertakings,
free and open to all alike, and where
the boy front the humblest home may
equal chance with the mqst
favored in advantages 'equal' to the
worthiest and best."
President Thomas said that Industrial
education cannot be presented fully
from the point of view of the univer
sity of technical institute without a
great deal of activity in carrying its
work right into the shops, offices and
store rooms of industries. He des
cribed fully the great work that is be
ing done under restricted supj>ort by
the college engineering extension div
ision which is now reaching 7,385 work
men in their own shops by night class
es, home study groups and correspond
ence.
President Thomas will also speak in
Harrisburg today, addressing the
Chamber of Commerce of that city.
COMBINED CHOIRS WILL
SING “GALLIA” SUNDAY
Famous Cantata By Gounad to Be
Presented at Both Chapel
Services By Chorus
Following out the custom of the last
two or three years, the College Chorus,
made tip of the two choirs that sing
at the Sunday chupel services, will ap
pear at lioth chupel services this Sun
day and will present the contata "Gal
lia” by Charles Gounad, one of the
most brilliant of the nineteenth cen
tury composers. Those who attended
chapel last year and heard the pro
gram rendered by the combined choirs
will recall that it was one of excep
tional nature and one well worth lis
tening to. The program this year tho
'Will surpass it. I’mler the direction of
Professor C. C. ltohinson. the chorus
has been working hard and has arrived
at a stage where its rendition of the
popular cantata is one of high order.
Miss Betty Croll '25, a singer of ac
complishment, Ims been selected as sol
oist and may be counted upon for a
fine performance. She will be ably ac
companied by Mrs. Clarence C. Robin
son on the piano and Mr. Ernest Wells
*23. on tho organ. Professor Robinson
will conduct the program.
Because of the length of the program
it was deemed inadvisable to have a
speaker at the services and hence, the
services will be confined solely to the
cantanta.

SALVI, WORLD’S BEST
HARPIST, APPEARS IN
AUDITORIUM TOMORROW
Young Genius Conies Under Aus
pices of Y. M. C. A.—Has
Wonderful. Record
It has been a long while since an an
nouncement of an event has caused so
much lively Interest as the announce
ment that Alberto Salvi, the phenomen
al harp virtuoso, is to upikear here to-
morrow night in Schwab Auditorium
as the third number of the popular Y.
M. C. A. entertainment course.
Of the playing of this young genius,
critics have been almost lavish in their
praise, speaking of him as a revelation
ifccause he overcomes what have been
considered practically impossible ob
stacles in technique. His playing has
been characterized as nothing short of
amazing.
In addition to this almost "super
human technique" he has discovered
new effects and undreamed of beauties
in the harp. Furthermore, he possess
es, in words of critics, "the power to
make his audience forget harp and
harpist and to think of great orchest
ras, multitudes of voices and great
tragedies, so broad and sweeping are
his masterful Interpretations."
Mr. Salvl inherited his predilection
for the harp. His father was a cele
brated Italian harp maker, and his
first a specially*construct
ed miniature harp, which ws built for
Alberto when he started to go to school.
The lad was born in Venice In 1893.
In his early period he practiced four
hours a day and the allotment was in
creased till at the age of twelve he
devoted six to seven hours per day to
practice. This devotion to duty is
what Mr. Salvi acribcs as the reason
for his marvelously facile and fluent
technique.
His father’s teaching continued till
the boy was thirteen when he won the
first distinction of his career—-the Rdy
al Scholarship at the Naples Royal
Conservatory. This 'scholarship Is
awarded in the special classes for the
young musician having the best rec
ord. The competition is nation-wide
through Italy. This windfall ensured
Calvi's thorough musical education al
ong the highest standards. The te
nure was for eight years and both tui
tion and other expenses were paid for
out of the endowment.
Salvi had the advantage of Instruc
tion under the eminent harpist, the
late eminent Maestro Caramieilo. In
tho fifth year of Salvl's course the
maestro wrote to the Ministry of Arts
at Rome, under whose supervision the
scholarship is conducted, that the boy
hud acquired in five years all the
knowledge theoretical and practical,
that went with the full curriculum of
eight years. Caramieilo asked that
special examinations might be prepared
in order that the talented youth could
wind up officially his academic career
and enter that of the virtuoso.
Despite the unusualness of the re
quest it was acceded to and, after the
young man had passed the special ex
aminations and his phenomnal playing
ha'd been heard by the examiners, he
was awarded the eight-year diploma at
the end of five years of study.
From the beginning his public car
eer was successful. The harp is more
widely played as a solo instrument and
more generally appreciated in Italy
than on this side of the Atlantic, where
it usually is thought of ns a reinforc
ing voice in the orchestra or as an In
strument for accompaniments.
This unusual eveqt In local music
circles will be characterized by a wide
range of selections each of which will
be a revelation to the audience of the
rJgJtal power, elasticity, and flexibil
ity of the winder harpist. The pro
gram is varied and Interesting includ
ing selections from a rapid, boisterous
tempo to tho soothing affects of legato
style.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1921
FROSH SET FOR
HARD GAME Wi?H
BIG KISKI ELEVEN
Preparatory School Team Has De
feated Princeton and
Cornell Freshmen
FEW CHANGES IN LINE-UP
Tays May Replace Kerstetter at
Quarter^-Year' Team
Work Improving
Having already defeated the Cornell
and Princeton Freshmen football teams
the Kiski eleven will attempt to add
another victim to their string of vic
tories when they meet Coach Herman’s
yearling squad tomorrow afternoon.
Coach Herman mul the Freshman ag
gregation, which has thus far been
victorious in throe encounters, are eq
ually determined that the Nittany cults
.should not he stopped and without a
doubt, the game will lie the most diffi
eull one that the Frnsh have had to
face so far this year, it will be their
fourth game and the second one to tie
played away from homo, the encounter
taking place on tin- Kiski field tit
Kaltshurg.
Klski Eleven Powerful
Tlie very fact that tho Kiski foot
ball machine downed the Cornell Fresh
two woeks ago by the score of 19-0
and also defeated "UHI" Roller's Prince
ton Culis by tlie overwhelming score
of 35-0 in a game that was played away
from home, gives tlie Kiski eleven the
right to he classed its one of the most
powerful preparatory school football
teams in the country. Roth their line
and their hackfield are com|»scd of
very heavy men. While In their way
to Princeton last Saturday the Kiski
men rode on the same train that was
carrying the Freshman to Mercers
burg. Coach Herman and the memb
ers of the Freshman team looked them
over and all were agreed that the pre
paratory school giants looked almost
as big as the Penn State varsity team.
In Amos, their fullback, the Kiski
team lias one of the fastest hackfield
men in scholastic circles. He scored
two of the five touchdowns that were
made in the Princeton game and lias
a name for being able to put the ball
across the line when but a few yards
are needed to make a first down.,or,.a
touchdown. Miiinmn, who has been
playing loft halfback also hns a repu
tation of being a consistent ground
gainer. He scored two douchdowns in
the Princeton game. Rolienstein. the
right halfback is a good man and West
the quarterback, is a good man to run
the team. Fray, who holds down the
pivot position at center also kicks the
goals, in the Princeton game every
one of his five attempts were success
ful.
Freshmen Going Good
The Freshman team hns been stead
ily improving, and at the present time
they are working together much bet
ter than they have ever done before.
The three victories that have been won
so far this season seem to have given
the men more confidence and as a re
sult, team work, which was seldom in
evidence at the beginning of tlie sea
son, is now one of the most noticeable
factors in their playing.
Several changes may occur In the
line-up which is listed below. Tays
may start at quarter Instead of Ker
stetter. This point Jins not been de
cided as yet. hut is known that Tays
will get into that game sometime to
morrow, whether he starts it or not.
Coach Herman wants to give both men
an equal chance at running the team.
Phillips who has been playing end on
the second team has been working hard
all year and may lie-given a chance to
show what he can do tomorrow by re
placing Anderson at right end.
The line up at the start of the game
will he aa follows:
Penn State
• lo, ick left eml McCoy
Pcndigast left tackle Parshall
Bauchman left guard Flack
center. Shaner
Fenton right guard Alwine
McGee right tackle Artelt

Basketball candidates will be called
out by Couch "Dutch" Herman Imme
diately after the closing of the foot
ball season to start intensive prac
tice for one of the stiffost cage seasons
tif tlie Nittany tessera. With tlie gra
duation of four of last year’s varsity
members the coach is confronted with
the problem of building up a practically
new team about a nucleus of several
players, aim have had varsity experi
ence: ami. although no veteran teum
will represent i’enn State, Indications
point toward a schedule against some
of the most formidable quintets in col
legiate basketball circles.
Haines at guard, Keplogle at center
and Wolf at forward were lost by grad
uation last June,* and Killinger, the
captain ami forward of last season's
championship team, will complete his
studies at Penn State at the close of
tiie first semester. "Andy” Wilson '22,
-last years varsity forward, together
with Koehler *23 and Ritner '22, who
substituted regularly in the forward
ami guard positions will lie the nuc
leus alKiui which this year's team will
be built.
.Manager J. it. SayeVs ’22 is now pre
paring a schedule which will include
a number of contests of a calibre to
call for the best playing from any team.
Although nothing definite can be said
about the list of games Jit such an early
dale, a few of tlie teams which arc
likely to meet Penn State may be men
tioned. These include the Navy,
Princeton. Penn. Pitt, Washington and
Jefferson and a possible game with
Creighton University of Nebraska. The
last will serve as a real iutcrsectloual
battle between the East and the West,
as Creighton is rated high among the
western quintets.
From last year's second string men
and front Freshman tram, Coach
Herman will have a wealth of’material
from whi.-li to select his varsity. Among
the most promising candidates of last
winter may he named Whiteman *22 at
forward, Ritts '22 at guard, Hunter *23
at guard. .Marshall '23 at forward, Mil
ler '23 at forward, and Slmir ’23 at cen
ter. Four of last year's Freshman
team are still at I’enn State and should
furnish no small amount of competi
tion for the varsity positions. They
are: Wilson at guard, Frank at for
ward or guard, Cornwall at forward or
guard and Fixter at center.
LACROSSE MEN MEET
WEST POINT IN SPRING
According to Manager Fox, all ar
rangements have been completed for
tlie Penn State lacrosse team to meet
the Army stick-men at West Point on
May twentieth. This will, in all prob
ability, bo the hardest fought game of
the year as the West Pointers always
have a strong tram. A northern trip
will be something new for the squad
as It has been customary in former
years to take a trip through the south.
Arrangements are being made to play
various other college teams on the trip

SPORTS MANAGERS ARE
CHOSEN BY 1924 CLASS
Question of Staging Sophomore
Hop is Considered—Four
New Members Admitted
Managers of teams for fall sports
were elected at a meeting of tiie Soph
omore Class in Old Chapel on .Monday
night, and the possibility of staging a
Sophomore hop was put liefore the
class.
The results of the managerial elec
tions were as follows: lacrosse. W. E.
Hess *24. football, 11. G. Hoehlcr ’24:
soccer, D. K. Stabler '3-1. and cross
country. A. K. Wilhelm '2l.
A suggestion offered by Coach R«>z
dek was put liefore the class. It con
cerned a Sophomore hop which would
be run under the auspices of tlie Class
of 1924, and for which Invitations
would be extended to the members of
the two lower classes. The plan seem
ed to have the hearty approval of the
class, ami it will lie discussed to a
greater extent at a later meeting. The
custom once established would, no
ttpuht. remain, as Penn State is one
of the few college that do not have
Sophomore hops.
President Martin brought up the
question of class hat insignia, am! the
suggestions of the entire class will be
honored in the selection nf the design.
The class voted in as members W. J.
Quick. C. H. Dick. L. C. Hegarty. and
G. T. Smlnk, all of whom have boon
transferred here from other schools
and carry full sophomore standing.

The
Rats Frolic
Saturday
PRICE FIVE CENTS
: i’rimed as far as possible for their
j third big game, the Nittany Gridiron
i gladiators are now resting up at Gar
den City. New York, and are anxiously
awaiting their intorsectinnnl battle with
Georgia Tech at tlie Polo Grounds to
morrow. Their terrific fight with
the Harvard eleven last week filled
them witii a feeling of confidence, but
not over-confidence, and, despite the
serious losses suffered in tiie Crimson
game, they feel quite certain that they
can at least equal the best efforts of
the Golden Tornado. Throe long, hard
days nf scrimmage have worn off the
rough spots displayed in the Cambridge
Stadium. Tin* defense, which was woe
fully weak, lias been greatly strength
ened. the mighty attack lias been still
further improved. am! tlie general
teamwork has so increased that the
I’enn State couching staff Is looking
forward to an excellent showing. The
Harvard contest proved beyond a doubt
that tin* Blue and White eleven is
practically unbeatable when its blood
is up. Facing a fourteen point load,
with its captain out. tu*o first string
players badly injured, and a foreign
field to play on. Penn State’s football
team exhibited one of the most re
markable come-kicks in gridiron hist
ory. and but for darkness, would have
emerged victoriously. Its offense could
not tie stopped.
A larger crowd tlinn that which gaz
ed on the Imttle last Saturday at Cam
bridge is expected to attend the game
in New York City. Georgia Tech con
siders tliis game her most difficult and
will leave nothing unturned to secure
a victory. A si»ecinl train, carrying a
large delegation of southern rooters, is
leaving Atlanta today while many oth
er loyal fans journeyed up with the
team yesterday. In addition, the school
is sending up the student band. Not
to lie outdone, Penn State is likewise
sending a band while ninny of the un
dergraduates are making plans to at
tend the game. These groups, though,
will constitute just a small part of the
forty thousand people who will watch
the fray. New York and the surround
ing territory are greatly excited .over
such a fight. Many notables will be In

Georgia Toeh Strong
The Golden Tornado should provide
Bezdck’s men with opiiositiuti equaling
that displayed by Harvard last week.
For several years it lias been justly
rated as the laist eleven in the South
ami Its reebrd is one of very Impres
sive mature. Starting out this season
with a whirlwind attack, the southern
team swamped every opponent without
permitting a single score and then •wal
loped Rutgers nt Atlanta lasi Satur
day ny the one-sided count of 41 to 14.
Tlie northern school was entirely out
classed by the steamroller tactics of the
Yellow and White warriors. The
strength of tiie southerners may be
further illustrated by tlie statement
that Lehigh had all that site could do
to secure a 7 to 0 victory over Rutgers
while I’enn State had a rather diffi
cult time with Lehigh, trimming her In
tlie final half by 28 to' 7.
Georgia Tech came Giru tho Rut-’

to start tomorrow's game with her
best possible line-up. Brewster, a
half Imck of considerable ability, who

institution. It hns a big team though.

Has Strong Offense
A very powerful factor In the vic
tories of Georgia Tech has been Its
remarkable attack. With an exceed
ingly fast luickfield and a hard charg

a combination whicli has proven a
