Grounds to morrow afternoon. This is tin* biggest Classic on th* Syracuse s.-hedule. an<i looms up as one of Up* toughest, as signments B-zdc*ks laris will have to dispose of this year. The Salt City gladiators consider to-j jjjorrow's same their most difficult and trill leave nothing unturned to secure a victory. Coach Meehan has been' drilling his men especially for the Penn State game, and has succeeded in turn- ing out a team that is powerful in every: department. In addition to the vet-j erans on the Syracuse squad, there art* several new men. members of last year's freshman aggregation, who have added material strength to the combination. Syracuse Has Star Hnckflcld One of the newcomers on the big or- 1 ange eleven this year is Simmons, who played at the University of Chicago under Alonzo A. Stagg before matri culating at Syracuse. He is being in terchanged at the halfback and quarter back positions and is said to be un surpassed at gaining ground through a broken field. Mcßride, who got bis prep school experience at Bcllefonte Academy, was one of the bulwarks of the Salt City freshmen last year and Is showing considerable ability ns a var sity half back this season. Zimmerman, a veteran o! several years’ experience, Is also in the back field and is said to be going better this season than ever before. Anderson. Kellog and Bowman complete the list of offensive stars whom Coach Meehan may draw on In effort to rout the Nit tany Lion. Bowman is one of the fleetest backs in the country and dis tinguished himself in all of the games Iq which he was used this season, par ticularly the Muhlenberg and Brown contests. According to reports, he is a second "Charlie” Way. of Penn State fame, being inserted in the line-up when most needed and then removed after making several sensational dashes of fifty to sixty yards. In the Muhlen berg game he was allowed to carry the ball three times and made eight yards on bis first attempt, ami fifty and sev enty yards on the next two rushes. Line Averages J9l Pounds The Syracuse backfield averages one hundred and sixty-eight pounds and is equipped to play either a plunging or open game. The line averages one hundred and ninety-four pounds and is made up almost entirely of veterans.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1922 SCHOOL TEACHERS PLEDGE SUPPORT TO CAMPAIGN FUND Four Big Subscriptions From In dividuals and Industries Help to Raise Total DR. THOMAS TO SPEAK ON DRIVE IN NEW YORK Proceeds of New Year’s Football Game to Be Turned Over to $2,000,000 Fund This week is expected to prove a mo mentous one in the history of Penn State's $2,0011,0ut) emergency building fund campaign. Developments have been coming quick and fast and were topped by yesr terda.v's announcement that the Nittany Lions would invade the Tournament ot Roses on the Pacific Coast on New Year’s Day for the big East vs. West football championship game, and that Penn State's proceeds would be turned over to the fund. Tito returns from that game are estimated at $30,000 for each team with $5,009 for expenses ot the Penn State invasion. The expenses will undoubtedly run over the allow ance. but in any event the first day of the new year will see an addition of at least $25,000 to the building fund. A new development in campaign ac tivities during the past few* days is tho entrance ot public school teachers at county institutes into the Penn State drive. Dr. David A. Anderson, of the education department of the college, went as a lecturer to the Cambria coun ty institute on Monday, and with Jo.»n C. Cosgrove, the Penn State campaign chairman in that county, presented Penn State’s story to the teachers. The result was the passing of an excellent resolution giving the support of the teachers to the campaign and a promise to make all efforts to secure one hund red per eent participation for the fund. Cambria was the first county in the state to "go over the top" in subscrib ing its quota, wide:, was $38,000, and now they are not content to let it go at that but want to over-subscribe and turn in a fund of at least $50,000. Campaign Headquarters is now’ ar ranging for a similar presentation of the campaign to tho county Institutes of at least nine other counties. Dean Chambers and Profesor Dennis, of the rural life department will visit these within the next two weeks. Some big .subscriptions from Individ uals have been received during the past week. Two of these are from well known alumni. One is James G. White 'B2 of New* York City. He is a mem ber of the college board of trustees and I is the donor of the John W. White fel lowship. modal, and scholarships. The) other $15,000 is from a well known | alumnus who made the request that his name bo withheld. Industrial corporations are becoming interested In Penn State’s plea, and a few* days ago a $2OOO subscription was received from the Pennsylvania Coal ami Coke Corporation, with offices in New* York City. Other similar dona tions have been received but permission for the uso of their names has not yet been granted. Yesterday a pledge blank for $2OOO was received from potato growers of Franklin county.

Tho lecture is one of a series arranged for the future and is to be given at four thirty p. m. in 200 Engineering D. The Colfax Plant Is a large electrical concern located near Pitsburg and is associated with the Duquesne Light Company. The plant itself is marvel [ oua for an organization ofits type.

Robinson and Company that It is an immense concern which employs every year large numbers of engineers. sany Penn State graduates have gone to this concern and made good. A Veteran HARRY WILSON, HALFBACK Tlu> only veteran appearing In the Pem*> .State backfield this season is Harry Wilson, piayiug the left half back position. He achieved fame in the Harvard contest last year when he repeatedly made smashing guius through Hie line. Following this showing, he made consistent claims for recognition for the remainder of the seuson, until at the end, he was considered by many as eligible for an All-American berth. During the winter season, Wilson, who is a member of the present Junior Class, may lie favored with a position on the l'enn State Varsity basketbull team. FROSH ELEVEN SET FOR WEST VIRGINIA F’rcshmcn Meet Mountaineers on Old Beaver Tomorrow in First Hard Game of Season WEST VIRGINIANS HAVE STRONG FRESHMAN SQUAD With the varsity football squail play ing in New York tomorrow, tho fresh man gridiron dash with tho West Vir ginia yearlings on Old Beaver offers the main athletic attraction for the week end. The Mountaineer nggregu will be the first retil difficult oppon ent on the schedule and should prove tough opposition for tho Nittany fresh men. Since the Dartmouth game last Satur day. Coach Hermann has been putting his sqund through hard ami thorough scrimmage in preparation for tomor row’s game. At times tho excellent showing made by the freshmen last week was lacking in the scrimmages and makes the outcome of the gamo more doubtful. Coach Hermann is expecting a hard game for his squad tomorrow. The West Virginia intitution has a repu tation for turning out strong yearling teams and this year is no exception. Although beaten last week by tho Pitt frosh with one touchdown, tho fact that they were able to prevent any further scoring by the strong Pitt team -would indlcnto that tho West Virginians have a team of such calibre as to put the Blue and White first year men to the limit. Few changes have been made in the the freshmnn line-up since the Dart mouth game and the team will enter the contest tomorrow with practically the same men. However, .McCann, left end, who w’as Injured and unable to play against the Green team will start the game tomorrow’. Zinc or Hissom will play at right end.

Music is to be furnished by the Ten Virginians who made a W’elcome debut at Penn State at the Junior Prom last year. This same orchestra will also furnish tho music at the dances to be held after the Syracusc-Penn State game in the Pennsylvania Hotel, Now York City; and at the New Williard Hotel in Wash ington, D. C., after the Navy—Penn State game. A moderate charge of one dollar and fifty cents per couple Is a most consid erate price for the Senior dance this year. It has been planned by the com mittee to conduct a similar dance later in the spring. PENN STATE ELEVEN WILL JOURNEY TO CALIFORNIA Penn State has accepted the invitation extended by the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Conference to represent the East in the intersectional football game at Pasedena, California, on January first. The team which will confront Penn State at that time will be selected at a later date by the Pacific Coast Conference. Doctor U. G. Dubach, president of the Coast Conference has re ceived the approval of this trip from President John M. Thomas, the Penn State Faculty and the Advisory Athletic Committees. This is the second consecutive year that the Penn State Athletic Association has received an invitation to terminate football activities for the season in California. Last year it was unable to accept the invitation because of the final game with Washington University in December. This invitation comes ns a tribute to the past achievements of Penn State football machines. The enviable record which has been set up during three consecutive years is receiving rec ognition through this opportunity to represent the East in Col legiate football. Despite the importance of this invitation Coach Bezdek and the members of the varsity squad are not allowing it to over shadow the more important work of whipping into shape an aggregation which will successfully compete against the hard teams already appearing on the schedule. No plans have been announced from the Athletic Associa tion regarding this western trip. It is probable that some for mal announcement will bemade at the mass meeting to be held prior to the departure of the team to the Navy game. The proceeds which the Athletic Association will receive from this trip are to be turned over to the Endowment Fund Campaign and is to come as a subscription from the members who will partake in this game.
