A saine w
Thu struggle for supremacy with the
Battlefield boys will not be un easy
one by any means and is expected to

held I’enn State to twenty-four points
last year, and they are reported to bu
even stronger tills fall. Coach Wood
is desirous of taking ids Alma Mater
into camp if at all j#osslble, and it is a
foregone conclusion that he will bring

Wood will present Singley, with Eman

ORIENTAL PLAYERS
PERFORM TONIGHT
Japanese Entertainers To Give
Novel Bits of Far Eastern
Drama and Music
Novel and delightful bits of .lupaueso;
entertainment will be offered by Mr.
ami Mrs. Mitchltaro Ongawa in tho
college auditorium this evening at
eight- flecti. Bringing, its they do, the
drama, the music, the dances anti the
legends of the East, the sketches that
these two talented Japanese uciors
present have attracted favorable com
, meat from many of the lending news
! paper critics for their originality, chtirtn.
and niitnner of presentation.
' Mr. Ongawa is a Samurai of the Tok-
I ugawa elan which guided the destinies
l of tlie Japanese Empire for nearly three
, hundred years, as Its actual rulers. His
i boyhood days were spent in tho practice
of the two-handed swords and the long
bow.
The program as it appeared in the
Tuesday issue of the COLLEGIAN is an
attempt by Mr. ami Mrs. Ongawa to
picture the romantic life of old Japan,
fast disappearing before the commercial
spirit of today. The first part of the
entertainment consists of ‘dances, native
songs, legends and instrumental selec
tions, After the intermission they will
give, as an example of the latest devel
opment of dramatic art in Japan, “The
Fox Woman’’. This play is founded on
an ancient superstition that the wicked
red fox often took Lite form of a woman
and caused ail manner of mischief, and
gives n picture of the life and customs
of the Japanese farmer.
This entertainment has been arranged
by the Woman’s Clttb of Slate College
rind tiic proceeds will be donated to
Penn Suite’s Emergency Building Fund.
A few seats have not been sold and
can be obtained in the lobby of the
auditorium before the performance.
Late arrivals, however, will be permit
ted to take their seats only during the
intermissions between numbers.
MANY STUDENTS IN ENG.
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
Large Variety of Courses Offer
ed, Giving Credits Toward
College Degrees
The Engineering Extension Depart
ment of Penn State is now giving home
study courses to a largo number of
those who cannot enter the college be
cause of the inadequate buildings and
limited faculty, and not because the
standards of education among tile
younger generation are lower.
Educational Standards no Lower
To the faculty of I’enn State there is 1
no evidence thut the standards of our 1
young people are lower than they have
been In the past, but on the other hand
tlie number of high school graduates
seeking u higher education ut tho pres
sent time is much larger than was
prophesied ten years ago. So rapidly
has the number of applicants Increased
that the facilities provided by the Key- ;
stone State, at the college are
now sutlicient to accomodate only about .
utie-iialf of those who are fully quali
fied to start their college work.
The extension courses offered by the
Engineering Extension Department of
Penn State entitle the learner to credit
toward a degree and are exceedingly
helpful to many ambitious students,
who, having made plans to get their col
lege education at tlie state institution,
find that there is no room for them.
The courses most called for are those
in mathematics, drawing, and industrial
organization and management. Among
other courses given are those in archi
tecture, structural steel, concrete, me
chanics, and heat engines. A distinct
advantage possessed by these courses is
that the work may bo begun any time,
and the student may advance as rapid
ly as his hours of study will permit.
■ Since the fall of the year is the ntfTurnl
> time to take up such studies, the de
; partment is at present very busy at
■ tending to the new enrollments that are
coming in every day.

MANY VETERANS ON
HEAVY ACADEMY SQUAD
Results of nearly a month's training
of tiie large Freshman football squad
under the couching of ••Dutch” Her
mann will ho tested for practically the
first time tomorrow when the yearlings
trot tint on Old Beaver at one o'clock
to meet tiie Dellefonte Academy repre
sentatives in the first game of the sou
sun.
Predictions us to the outcome would
be useless at this time because tho real
ability of the freshman squad has not
yet boon thoroughly tested. Tiie only
moans of forming any conclusions con
cerning the Bine and White first year
men has been by their short scrim
mages with tiie second and third varsi
ties. These clashes showed tho fact
that the freshmen have a good supply
of fighting spirit but lack Die skill nnd
experience to carry out movements ns
they should ho.
Taken as a whole the first team, in
the coach's eyes, is better to some de
gree than the first year team of last
season. But while some of the candi
dates are unusually good in their posi
tions. others are a problem in forming
a first eleven. Coach Hermann is not
yet satisfied with tiie work of the fresh
men and is depending on tomorrow’s
contest to make several changes in the
line-up.
Tiie line-up of tiie first team to op.

JUNIOR ENGINEERS TO

Tiie announcement that appeared in
the last issue of the t’siLLEGIAN, stat
ing that all senior mechanical and in
dustrial engineers would make the trip
lo Lewistown. Monday, October six
teenth. has been revised by the De
partments concerned to include juniors.
This change has been made because thf
A. S. M. 13. has found that accomoda
tions can be made for both classes,
whereas it was at first thought that
there would lie room for seniors only
It is estimated that about two hundred
engineering students will make the trip
»o Lewistown.
As Wits stated, this trip is for the pur
pose of attending the meeting of the
Central Pennsylvania Section of the A.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Although the seniors are still at the
top of the list, with a seventy-eight per
cent particiiKitlon, the Juniors promise
to eelipse Diem in the next few days, as
(he class now Ims a percentage of
seventy-six. Tiie sophomores and the
two-year tigs are tied for third place
with the thermometers of both classes
showing a percentage of seventy-four.
The freshmen are the only class which
has failed to show tiny marked Incrcaso
in its participation since tho week-end,
and they are now trailing at the bottom
of tlu* list with fifty-eight percent.
Juniors Show Biggest Increaso
The junior class Ims shown the great
est increase in subscriptions since tho
final returns Saturday night, nnd have
•risen from fifty-eight percent to their
present seventy-six percent in two days.
In the order of amounts pledged to
wards the fund to remodel Old Main, tho
freshmen are still leading the classes
with $61,250, tho sophomores come sec
ond with a total of $51,650. and the
juniors third with a total of $43,025.
Tiie seniors are at the bottom of the
list of the four year classes with $39,-
615. while the two-year ngs have raised
; their total by only two pledges.
Reorganization Made
With the last lap of tiie drive in sight,
the campaign officials have effected a
complete organization of the staff in
order that a more thorough canvass of
tiie student body may be effected. The
first step in reorganization was that of
compiling a new list of the students now
enrolted in Die four year courses nnd
tiie two-year ag classes, which is more
up-to-dato than tho one issued by the
Begistrar at the beginning of the term.
As soon as tiie new fist was compiled,
tiie staff chocked nIT Die names of those
men who had already subscrilied to the
fund and turned tiie remainder over to
tiie new organization for a complete
canvass. This method insures every
student ample opportunity to subscribe
iiis share towards the Penn State Union
as a one hundred percent canvass is
now a certainty.

vivid impression as a strong thinker,
which tiie Kcv. Atkins left with the Stu
