Coach Hugo Hezdek’s Penn State
football team, undefeated on the grid
!ron last season, continued its march
toward the mythical championship of
1922 on New Heaver Field last Satur
day afternoon by handing scrappy Wil
liam and Mary a 28 to 7 defeat.
Contrary to the Idea conveyed by tho
difference hi points registered, the game
whs contested bitterly all the way. and
It took the Irt-st Penn State had to bat
ter down the lighting Southerners.
With eight letter men from last year's
team in the Une-up, it had been expect
ed that the Virginians would pul up a
hard battle, nnd they did everything In
their jHiwer to uphold the prediction.
Twice the invaders of the north hold
the Nittany team for downs within the
shadows of its goal lim*. The llrst was
in the opening period after Penn State
had marched from its forty yard line
to William and Mary’s three yard line
where the Southerners obtained poss
ession of tho ball. The second stand was
made near the end of the third period
after another long march by the Nit
tany Lions. Four plays netted Bez
dek’s team only live yards and it was
the Virginians' ball on their live yard
line.
Prospects for a winning team at Penn
State this year were given a severe
jolt when “Mike” Palm, star Nittany
quarterback, was caught out of bounds
an the lust play of the game and re
ceived a badly sprained ankle. He will
lie out for at least three weeks. Huf
ford, veteran end, was also forced to re
tire in the third period with an Injured
ankle.
- The Penn State team's play was very
ragged and fumbling almost cost the
game. It did cost u touchdown, for in
the first few minutes of play, Wilson
fumbled the ball and Hastings, scooping
It up, ran fifteen yards for the first six
pointer of the game. He also kicked the
goal for the extra point which put the
NUtany grid men on the short end of
a 7 to 0 score.
The visitors played n crack defensive
game but surely and slowly they wero

MANDOLIN CLUB PLANS
ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMS
New Personnel Chosen at Tryouts
and Policy Adopted for
Coming Year
Fifteen new men were selected from
the Freshman nnd upperclasscs at the
trials last Wednesday evening for the
Mandolin Club. The total personnel for
the club now numbers thirty men. The
first rehearsal was held Friday evening
In the bandroom and old and new' pieces
were tried with very encouraging re
sults, which showed the effects of the
good work lost year.
Since the Idea of jazz music has been
dropped entirely and mazurkas and ov
erture typo taken up. the interest seems
to be stronger among the members and
It Is felt that more benefit will be de
rived from music of such type.
Though nothing definite has been ar
ranged, there are possibilities of tho
Club taking several trips over the
State this year. Several of the cities
in consideration are Harrisburg, Al
toona, Pittsburg, and Lcwistown. In
former years it has been cutomnry to
give joint programs with the Glee Club,
but since the Mandolin Club is now a
separate organization the members feel
that they can put on a program alone
with added attractions.
The quota of instruments is all filled
except guitars, of which as yet there
we a few lacking. The ofilcers for the
new year are as follows:

STUDENT CAMPAIGN
HAS RAISED TWO
THIRDS OF QUOTA
Classes Show Keen Rivalry as End
of Drive Nears—Seniors
Forge to Top
Ikfau.se it has been found impossible
to canvass the entire organization by
last Saturday night, the Student Cam
paign Committee has extended the per
iod for the Student Drive to raise $3OO,
000 for remodeling Old Main into a
Penn State Union into the second week.
The success of the Student Campaign in
the early days of the drive indicate
that the students are behind the move
ment and one hundred per cent partici
pation is not out of the question.
The final returns on Saturday evening
showed that a total of $174,540 had been
pledged by the students of Penn State
since tl»e opening gun of the campaign
was fired at the mass meeting Just a
week ago last night. This figure rep
resents approximately two thirds of the
amount that could be subscribed for
tlie Penn Stale Union Building, for the
Campaign olticiuls lmvo calculated that
it a one hundred per cent (Hirtlclpation
is shown the total amount raised would
be in the neighborhood of S2SC,OOO.
The Seniors are pushing the two-year
ags hard for first place and showed a
participation of seventy per cent Sat
urday evening in comparison with the
seventy-two percent participation of the
two year men. The Juniors dropped
farther and farther to the rear over the

Coach "Bin" Martin urges *ait students
who feel that they have any running
ability at ail, to enter these contests
for admission to Varsity and Freshmen
cross country squads.
Frosh and Sophs Called Oat
Coach Martin has issued a call for all
Freshmen and Sophomores who have
selected cross country *or track for
physical education, to report this
week. If it is possible, ail students
taking the sport should endeavor to re
port at New Beaver field, to Mr. Mar
tin, between ten and twelve In the
morning, any days In the week that
would be convenient. This will make
It possible for the coach to give much
more attention to personal Instruction.
Those who cannot arrange to run nt
these hours should report to New
Beuver Field at four-thirty In the
afternoons, when someone will be In
charge of the squad. *
Invitation To Meet Syracuse

from Syracuse to participate In a track

GIRL’S GLEG CLUB PLANS
PROGRAM FOR OCTOBER
The Girts' Glee Club held its first re
hearsal under the direction of Profes
sor Bichard W. Grant, of the Depart
ment of Music, on Monday evening.
September eighteenth. They aro pre
paring a program which they expect to
present to the student body sometime
in October.
Twelve new girls have been taken
into the club for a probationary period
of three.weeks. At the end of that time
the -six girls who have shown them
selves to be the most competent will be
taken permanently into the club.
Negotiations are under way to start
a Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Girls
Glee Club contest. The Penn State
club has been constantly Improving
in the past under the competent leader
ship of the new Dean of Music and It is
felt they can well compete with other
k college Glee Clubs.
STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1922
showed a total of sixty-six per cent
participation Saturday night.
In amounts pledged towards the cam
paign fund, the Freshmen are leading
with a total of $53,300, the sophomores
come second with $46,100, and the sen
iors third with a total of $36,815. The
Junior arc nt the bottom of the list of
four year classes with only 333,025,
while the two-year ags have pledged
$6,300.
Although the Freshman colors have
been worn by the Campaign goat ever
since the Student Drive was opened lust
: Monday, a possible explanation of their
inactivity may be found in the fact that
the Frosh have not been educated In the
needs of Penn Stute and hence do' not
understand the true Importance of the
present Student Campaign. The Cam
paign Committee has just realized the
problem with which thoy are confronted
in educating the now men to their res
ponsibilities. Tlie success which thoy

As a further means of educating the
first year men and thoir parents to the
needs of Penn State and the Importance
of the Student Drive, the General Cam
paign Committee has prejwred the fol
lowing letter to be sent to the paronts
of each of the Freshmen now in the col

Three Men on Sick List
CALL MADE FOR FROSH
AND SOPHS .THIS WEEK
With the first of the soccer
Reason but two weeks distant, Penn
State faces the necessity of reorgani.
zation among the members of the team.
Scrimmage practice lately has shown
weaknesses in tho forward line and in
the fullback position that have per
sisted from the beginning and must be
remedied before the Blue and White
team can hope to enter a contest
uguinst Lehigh "With any hope of vie.

Three of the Varsity candidates.
Gaul, Grupp ami Quado; who havo put
forth a good brand offsoccer during
: practice are laid up account of in
juries which It Is thought will keep at
least two of them out of practice for
some time, and this likewise Increases
the necessity for a .change in the line,
up.
Tho varsity soccer sijund consisting
of about twenty-four men held a
scrimmage for übout forty minutes on
the new practice field lost Saturday
afternoon, the first team being pitted
against the second. During this time
but one goal was scored, as against a
possible three. As a [result of the
rather poor exhibition Staged by the
Varsity candidates, a reafroAgment will
be made In the on the team,
Jn an effort to the forward
and fullback positions which have Im.
proved but little thus fpr. The half
backs have been displaying gratifying
skill at the game, ulthough the entire
squad still havo the under poor
control ami must improve in head,
work aggressiveness, and booting.
Announcement has also been made
that tho soccer squad will be cut still
further, In order to facilitate instruc-
Beturn to Armory Field Temporarily
Because of the fact that tho soil of
the recently acquired practice field on
New Beaver is of such a nature that it
cannot bo rolled or leveled successfully
while it is so dry, the varsity candidates
will probably return to the Armory
field for workouts until a rain puts tho
new field in workable condition. In Its
present state,' the field is too rough to
afford a satisfactory practicing
grounds.
Frosh and Sophs Out this Week
#< The Freshmen' and Sophomores , who
are taking soccer as physical educa
tion will "be called out this week, it has
been announced. Between fifty and
sixty underclassmen have signed up
for the sport, and along with the Var
sity candidates who are not in the
first and second squads, they will ag
gregate nearly a hundred men schedul
ed to report to Assistant Coach Paget
on the Armory field for fundamental
instruction in tho rules of Associa
tion Football.
Manager Miller Is still waiting for
more definite information before stat
ing anything furthor concerning games
to be added to tho schedule. Within
the weok, however, he expects to be
able to announco one or moro contests
to toko the place of tho northern trip

DR. PATTEE’S LATEST
IBOOK IS CRITICIZED
“Sidelights ort American Lilera

Unconventional Manner
"Sidelights on American Literature."
By Norman S. Esterbrook
Lovers of literature at its beat have
reason to thank "whatever gods there be”
for Fred Lewis Pattee, who in his busy
hours teaches English literature nt
Pennsylvania State College, and in his
leisure moments studies literature in
nil its forms, occasionally varying his
program by gently prodding those who
have strayed into literary bypaths. Es
pecially should they be thankful for
his latest outgiving, "Sidelights on A>
raerienn Literature," a voice crying a
loud In the wilderness of jazz.
Professor Pattcc's book Is as refresh
ing ns a spring of cold water in a trop
ical desert. What a relief it is to read
his sane and sensible criticism of those
who are following the mirage of bunk
in the vain belief that Its glimmering
palaces nnd groves of unsubstantial
haze are real’ mansions for and gar
dens of delight whiefy they may attain
and be at peace.
First, he turns the spotlight upon

STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN

Place Emphasis on Dispropor

By Legislature
EXPECT RESULTS TO
STIMULATE STATE ACTION
That the state-wide campaign started
yesterday by tho college is being
watched with interest in other parts of
the country is shown by tho fact that
President Harding, Governor Sproul, U.
S. Commissioner of Education J. J. Ti
gert and a dozen heads of Stato Univer
sities to the south and west of Penn
sylvania have sent mesages wishing
President John M. Thomas, of the Penn
sylvania State College, success in the
$2,000,000 emergency building fund
campaign for student health and wel
fare buildings that wus launched yester
day by alumni in all parts of the state
and country.
The Importance of Stute College as
u service Institution to tho people of
Pennsylvania, its possible position as
the state university, Is tho keynote of
the many telegrams that have flowed
the office of President Thomas 1:. : .q
past threo days. In a letter to Dr.
Thomas, President Harding said: "1
wish you all success In your undertak
ing to persundo tho people of Pennsyl
vania to follow tho example of overy
stute west of them to provide n free
institution of higher learning ample to
meet the needs of the commonwealth."
Eleven million dollars was provided
for the University of Michigan by that
state for the present biennium accord
ing to a message received from its pres
ident, Dr. M. L. Burton, nnd by com
parison he characterizes Penn State's
appropriation ns "paltry". His message
to President Thomas said:
“As president of the University of
Michigan, I am deeply interested In
your vigorous nnd aggressive polices
for Penn State College. Discriminating
people will see your vision and. insist
upon its realization. Tho successful
culmination of your campaign for $2.

FIRST YEAR GRID MEN
STRIVE FOR POSITIONS
Freshmen Candidates Rounding
Out for Initial Game with
Bellefonte Academy
After another week of hard work, the
tno up of the Freshman football team
Ik still unsettled and tho tentative ar
rangement of the first team Is about
that which appeared in the Collegian
last week. Every member of the year
ling stiutvd has been working like titans
to obtain .the coveted positions
and are apt to break Into the time light
any time.
According to present Indications It
looks as though the game with Ueliu
font Academy will open with McCann
at left end. Kerkoff at loft tackle. Mle
alske at left guard. Grey at center.
Graff at right guard.. Fellows at right
lucklo and Hissom at right end. Doth
linker and Adams are in line for the
quarterback position while Servlck.
Light and Shanks are probabilities for
the half back irosittons and Johnston at
full back.
During the week a great amount of
development has taken place among the
members of the second squad. The
men who fill these positions have been
playing steady and arc gradually get
ting into form so that they are con
stantly giving the men who hold down
positions on the tentative line a great
deal of worry concerning their ability to
hold the positions which they now have.
Coach Hermann is fortunate in the
size of h)B squad and tho calibre of the
departments, especially in the line,
men in It. The first team when it is
definitely formed will be strong in alt
departments, especially on the line.
Also material will not he lacking when
it comes to substituting second string
players In any game.

CAMBRIA COUNTY HAS
QUOTA HALF RAISED
lYnn State's $2,000,000 campaign is
Fifty-three of the sixty Pennsylvania
counties where Penn State alumni have
organized for the drive, launched their
work yesterday. The remaining coun
ties will Ik* started within the next few
weeks.
One county—Cambria—already has
half its quota raised with every indica
tion that it will go over the top by tho
middle of the month. A score of others
are in excellent shape and college ottl
clals yesterday declined to be pessimis
tic over the outlook.
The thermometer on Old Main—that
big tube that some day will Indicate
that the time is ripe for Penn State’s
recognition as "The Pennsylvania State
University**—yesterday Jumped over tho
$300,000 nmrk. This means thul the
college comptroller's cilice has in Us
files, pledges signed for that total u
motint. This is largely because of the
pre-campaign activities that resulted in
the accumulation of various funds —
the faculty and student shnres. the po
toto growers, track house, former re
creation building fund, the class of 1922
memorial, State College borough. Sum
mer Session, scattered alumni, poultry
and other various individual enterpris
es that are swung over into tho $2,000.
000 fund.
It is especially desired that it be un
derstood that the thermometer will reg
ister only as signed those turned
in at the office of the President.
The student campaign of the past
week has-been largely instrumental in
ntlowing the general campaign to open
with so large a fund recorded on tho
progress indicator. The. one-hundred
per cent faculty and college employee
subscriptions totaleld $44,676, a partic
ularly gratifying result.
The campaign headquarters In Old
Main is Die busiest place on the campus
just now, as it has been during recent
weeks as the alumni organizations
throughout the state and nation have
been perfected and prepared for the
drive. No county group of alumni has
faltered for a minute on the pros|»ecls
of raising the quota assigned them, and
it is expected to be only a matter of
time when they shall all he turning in
favorable reports of their activities.
In some of the counties where work
could not get under way yesterday, It
has. been postponed because of other
campaigns, of activities in the county.
The Pittsburgh organization, under
the direction of George 11. Deike, *O3.
president of the general alumni asso
ciation. Is one of the best equipped and
hardest working that ever rallied to the
publicity men and are going after their
aid of any college. They have a spec
ial headquarters office with their own
half-million quota in "regular" style.
The “flying squadron" of faculty
members that visited the various county
organizations last week returned Friday
and Saturday with favorable reports
from ail sides.
