TO SCORELESS TIE Both Grid Tams Fail U> Take Big Opportunities to Break Deadlock STALWART DEFENSE OF BOTH TEAMS A FEATURE Bezdek’s i'upils Excel in First Half and Orange Eleven is Better in Second Twenty-live thousand people looked on as the Syracuse and l'enn Stale football learns struggled for vicoory and both failed last Saturday on the polo Grounds. Neither goal line was crossed al though there were tunes when the pig skin was dangerously near to both. At one time the wearers of the Orange were causing the Perm State supporters lu entreat "fluid that line", und then again there were breathless momenta when the lilue and White warriors seemed on tire verge of victory. There was nothing spectacular. No long runs through a scattered field are recorded. There wtis u punting dual at which the Orange back, Zimmerman, excelled. There were forward passes directed straight to the waiting human target by ".Mike" I'alrn, but that target never succeeded in eluding the ever watchful opponents for any tolling gains. Attempts to gain yardage through the line were many but the results were not consistent with tho amount of effort expended. It was a tierce strugio be tween two stalwart lines, both deter mined to wreck the opponents* plans. Many a buckficld man rushed against the line with a seemingly irresistable force only to be hulled by an enemy de fense that could not be penetrated. Then, should the line waver, there were always backfleld men awaiting to stop the onrush. Golden Opportunities Fail And so the twenty-two men went baclc and forth on the gridiron. Golden op portunities beckoned both teams, but fate decreed that neither should score. Penn State's chunccs came early. In the first few minutes of play a fumbled kick by Syracuse gave the lions the ball on the eight yard line. But it was not to cross the goal. At other times during the half the Xittany lads started prom ising drives and always did Coch Mee han’s pupils halt the procession as the shadows of the goal posts loomed close. The Orange grid men became more aggressive and dangerous as the game : progressed. A drive started very late in the second quarter came to an end on the Penn State thirty-one yard marker as the whistle closed the period. In the second half, Syracuse con tinued to attack the lions* den and to! approach it much too near for the com fort of the spinsters from Mount Nit tany. But Bezdok's players always stif fened and kept the score at the zero mark. A vital fumble, two dismal fail le 68 at dropkieks and a chance for a drop kick that was not tried record the «foru of Syracuse to score. Forward passing by Palm in the first Mlf was a feature of tho game. Of went} .tried, nino were successful. A variety In this form of attack was In jmhtced as the l'enn State quartor tack mised short ones with lons ones and directed his psscs to Wilson. Frank. Hutrord, and Kratz.

Semi-Weekly Prim &tatr A (L'ullrm T MUST RAISE $9OOO FOR WORK Campaign to Secure Six Dollars From Each Student Opens December Sixth RELIEF WORK QUOTA CALLS FOR $4OOO FUND Six dollars is the quota that has been set for each Penn State student by the V. M. C. A. in its annual appeal for fi nancial support. Increased activities have added to the current expenses of the organization with the result that nine thousand dollars will be needed to finance its program for the coming year. Although the campaign has been postponed until December sixth, final arrangements have been completed for a thorough drive. A committee of one hundred and fifty students will canvass the town giving everyone an opportun ity to participate. In an effort to light en the burden of the students who sub scribe. the advisory board in charge of the campaign has decided on a system of payment in six monthly installments. Subscription blanks will be in the form of blank checks made out to the Y. M. C. A. and each dated a month In ad vance. By this system the campaign will he conducted on practically a cash basis as in former years. The amount that the Y. M. C. A. de sires to raise is nine thousand dollars of which five thousand dollars will be required for current expenses. Tho re maining four thousand dollars has been pledged for relief work in Russia. New furniture in the “Y" hut, a radio set in Old Chapel, an extensive program of prominent speakers and Paramount mo tion pictures have Increased the current expenses for the coming year. The ra dio set that has been installed In Old Chapel will have a three stage amplifi cation and under favorable conditions will be able to receive broadcasting from as far as Sun Francisco. The four thousand dollars for stu dent relief in Russia is Penn State's quota In the national drive to raise a Student Friendship Fund. Condi tions are deplorable among college men of Russia and when it Ib known that four thousand dollars will support two hundred and sixty-eight Russian stu dents for a year, supplying them with food, shelter, and clothing, participation by Penn State students will indeed be worth-while. AMATEUR MUSICIANS WILL HOLD CONTEST Annual Contest of Young Artists to Be Held at Penn State in April Young musicians of Pennsylvania are being urged to make preparations for the contests that will soon take place in the towns and cities of the suite, under the auspices of the local musical organizations, for entrance to the Contest of Young Artists to be held at Penn State in April, during the convention of tho federation of musical clubs of Pennsylvania. Miss Elizabeth Hood Latta, of Phila delphia, president of the federation, in a mooting with the Penn State commit tee and members of the department of music at the Collego held here last night; laid special stress on tho import ance of having tho musical clubs In overy town of the alette begin at once to prepare the young musicians for their local contests. “The only requisites for entrance of young musicians to the state contest at State College,” said Miss Latta, ‘'are that they be American-born and Amer ican-trained musicians, chOßen as rep resentatives of their town and city.” The contest, which will be in charge of Robert Braum, of the Braum School of Music in Pittsburgh, will include three groups of musicians: pianist, violinists, male and female singers. The young artists who come out victorious in the state contest, will be sent as rep resentatives of Pennsylvania to the national artists* contest to be held in Ashville, N. C., next summer. This Is the first time that the Pennsylvania con vention has been held at State College. For the past two years it was held in Philadelphia and Pittsburg, DEAN HOLBROOK ASSUMES DUTIES AT PENN STATE Elmer A. Holbrook, former Assistant Director of the United States Bureau of Mines, took charge of the Depart ment of Mining Engineering last Mon day. Mr. Holbrook underwent an oper ation for appendicitis, and was unable to assume his duties here at the begin ning of the semester as was originally intended. Professor McFarland had charge of the Department during his absence. Dean Holbrook comes to Penn State highly recommended. Besides being n graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1904, he taught in the Nova Scotia Technical College, and fol lowing this was Assistant Professor of Mining Engineering at the University of Illinois, and Professor of Mineral Preparation at the same institution. Tho Alining School has been very for tunate in securing a man of such high calibre for their department* STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1922 HISTORIC SITE MARKED BY BRONZE MEMORIAL State Historical Com. Erects Tab let in Connection with History Department A historical event of great interest took place yesterday when a memorial tablet was dedicated at the site ot the historic Centre iron Company. The tnblet, which is made of bronze in the form of a keystone, was erected by tho Pennsylvania Historical Commission in connection with the history department of the college. Classes were dismised the last hour of the afternoon, and many students were present, besides numbers of townspeo ple and others. The college regiment, led by the band, took a practice march to tlie dedication, and added n great deal to the impressiveness of the cer emony. Dr. Sparks officiated during the cere monies which included short speeches by several well-known men. The Hon orable James E. Donahoo, Secretary of the State Historical Commission, pre sented the tnblet. The Centre Iron Company was the first iron smelting plant in Centre County. Its site being one mile east of State Collego on tho Lemont road. It is just outside the college property, really marking the entrance to the col lege grounds. The plant was erected in 1792 and operated until 1809, at which time a thriving town of one hundred population had sprung up. The plant was again put into operation during the period between 1825 and 1858. Since that timo the meagre remains have stood ns a mute testimonial to one of the earliest iron smelting establishments in the country. This occasion also marks the begin ning of interest aimed towards the bet terment and Improvement of the Col lege’s main entrance. Tho Department of Horticulture and the Toplan Club will soon undertake a thorough reno vating and beuutifylng program for the entrance. UNDERCLASSMEN MUST ATTEND TIE-UP SCRAP Student Tribunal Will Strictly Enforce Rules in Freshman Bible for Scraps On the eve of the annual sophomore freshmen tie-up scrap, the Studont Tri bunal has issued a warning to all under classmen to be present at the scrap. Originally scheduled to take place last Saturday, the event was postponed to prevent a conflict with the Syracuse returns und the freshmen football game, and will accordingly be held this com ing Saturday on New Beaver Field at twelve-thirty Last spring there was very little class spirit shown ut the Tie-up Scrap. Hardly a hundred and fifty second-year men were present ut the event despite the fact that the “Frosh Biblo” dis inctly states that all underclassmen must be present. In an effort to remedy such condition the Student Tribunal and members of the upper classes have de cided to strictly onforco this ruling. It has been the custom to divide the members of each class into three groups of fifty men; each group to have the Hold for five minutes. Each man will be given a five-foot piece of rope and ut a given signal the two classes will rush each other from opposite ends of tho field. A point will then be awarded to those who securely tie either the hands or feet of an opponent and two points will be credited if both the hands and feet aro tied. Tho total score will bo counted after tho third group has taken the field and the winning class will thon be decided on by G. W. Lehr *24 and E. It. Shultz ’24, acting as referee and Judge of the contest. All underclassmen must wear pubber soled shoes to engage In the scrap, otherwiso they will not be permitted to enter. REHEARSALS HELD FOR ALICE-SIT-BY-THE-FHtE "Alice-Sit-By-The-Firo”, by Sir James M. Barrie, which is to be the next pres entation offered by the Penn State Play ers has been in rehearsal for several weeks, and It is fast shaping into form. It Is being interpreted by a very clever cast, and Mr. Cloetingh, the director, promises that it will be a very com mendable performance. No time and labor are being spared In making this first program a fitting opener for a very brilliant Player season. D, H. Porterfield ’24, who is art di rector of the Players this year, is per sonally directing the scenic effects of the show. The sets are being con structed especially for this performance and they are well designed to portray the whimsicality of the delightful Bar rie lines. Porterfield’s ability is well known and there is no doubt that his work will heighten the effect of the production. Miss Huthanna Sharpless ’23 is doing the costuming; designing first the cos tumes and then executing them. The combination Is a splendid one; and in deed The Players are very fortunate to find such profesional talent The date of the play is November twenty-fourth. Further announcements ot an advanced ticket sale will be pub listed in the COLLEGIAN, PENN STATE TIES SYRACUSE TEAM IN SOCCER GAME Blue and White Men Outplay Or ange Squad, But Over-Confi dence Proves Detrimental McVAUGH AND HAGENBUCH DO WELL IN BACKFIELD Weakness of Forward Line Appar ent in Failure to Carry on at Crucial Moments The Penn Slate-Syracuse soccer game played at Syracuse last Saturday re sulted in a 0-0 tie, although Penn State outplayed her opponent, except at the crucial moments, when over confidence caused the members of the ; team, especially the forward line to fail miserably. The Nlttany men had ten corners out of which they should have scored eight goals. The passing exhibited by the Nlttany hooters was generally better than that against Lehigh, and the Penn State men showed more aggressiveness than'their opponents, outplaying the Salt City lads all the way through, but over confidence proved detrimental to tho Blue and White soccerites when oppor tunities to score presented themselves. The forward line is still weak, and co operation with the backfleld is badly needed. This was strongly in evidence when Penn State failed to take advan tage of any of the ten corners awarded it during the contest. As in tho past, the backs played well, McVaugh and Hagenbuch especially, but even In the backfleld apathy was noticeable. The team returned Monday. SCHEDULE COMPLETED FOR NITTANY MATMEN Penn State Team Faces Seven Hard Meets Including Intercollegiates The completion of 'the wrestling schedule will give Penn State an inter esting array of meets for the coming winter. From tho opening on Febru ary tenth, Coach Detar faced a hard schedule with a team weakened by the loss of five of last years' varsity men The opening meet which Is still pend ing will be with Columbia at State Col lege on February tenth. The following Saturday, Penn will be met In another home meet. Tho team will thon travel to Annapolis to meet the Navy team on February twenty-fourth. Lehigh will then be encountered at State Col lege on March third and on the follow ing Saturday, Cornell at Ithaca. On March seventeenth, Syracuse will be seen at Stato College in the last home meet of the . season. The Intercollog iates at-Ithaca on March twenty-third and fourth will complete the season. Plans aro being made for an active season for the freshman wrestling team. Tho annual sophomore- freshmen wrest ling scrap will be hold in the Ar-mopy On Docembor ninth and an effort Is be ing made to arrange a complete sched ule for the frosh. RURAL LIFE DEPARTMENT OBSERVES COMMUNITY DAY The little town of Spring Mills, Pa. observed Friday, October twenty-sev enth as community day. There 1s a vo cational school there that was instru mental in putting on a program that would do credit to a much larger Insti tution. There was something to hold the interest every minute from start to finish and it is worth noting that the Rural Life Department of the Pennsyl vania State College did a great deal to keep things lively. In the morning there were opened to the public, exhibits of live stock and farm produce which would be hard to surpass. The afternoon program fea tured Dean Watts of the agricutura) school and also J. D. Blackwell of the Bureau of Vocational Education in Har risburg, both of whom made addresses. The community group picture was tak en at three o’clock and then the after noon was given over to games under the supervision of the Penn State Rural Life Department. One interesting thing happened which shows that the attitude of the college boy to the farmer and also how the Rural Life Club works. There were games for people of all ages and It was not long before a tug-of-war was sug gested between the colleo boys and tho fanners. “Well," said Dean Watts, "Let’s wait and see". The outcome was that the farmers won two pulls out of three. During the dinner period the Sigma Nu orchestra from State College fur nished music und also later Jn the even ing. There was an addresss and award ing of prizes by Dean R. L. Watts, fol lowed by monologues by Weis and Hart of State College. Two basket-ball games, one by the boys of tho Vocation al School and one by the girls furnished lots of excitement. This was followed by an exhibition boxing, match by the Rothrock Brothers, and bantam weights from State College, VAUDEVILLE TROUPE TO PLAY AT PHILIPSBURG Presentation on November Ninth Made By Request to Aid New Hospital Phlllpsburg will be the scone of tho next presentation of the girls' vaude ville show which was such a pronounced success when staged in the Auditorium last Friday night. The play will be presented at the Roland Theatre on the evening of November ninth, and plans are being made for the entertainment of tho entire cast sit the Philips Hotel by tho committee in charge. Philipsburg is planning for a now hospital and the request came to J. Gordon Amend for a program to be presented as a benefit. The entire pro gram is under the personal direction of Mr. Amend. The first act will be a rousing opener, "Galliger and Shean'’. Wise and Wing ard carry off the popular characteriza tion cleverly and will receive strong support from “Dinny” Cannon. Rayl and Vanucci will present the second act. Rayl, whose ability on tho violin is al ready known at Penn State, will give a somi-popular program. The third act. “The Maker of Dreams", is a very ideal istic glimpse into the real heart of Pierrot and Pierette. It is played by Clifford Finley, Ruth Sharpless, and Arthur Hoimbach. The fourth net is that of Hafiley and Taylor in their pi ano and whistling role. A dance fan tasy by Miss Ethel Sparks will com pose the fifth act and promises to be very ontortalnning. The sixth act Is that of O'Donnell and Vanucci. The seventh act, “Sham”, is a satirical com edy of society and Is well portrayed by a cast made up of Mary Ferguson, J. D. Greathead, Austin Blak'eslee. and Alvin Proudfoot. PENN STATE TO HAVE BROADCASTING SERVICE New Wireless Set Being Designed Having a Sending Range of Three Hundred Miles During the past few weeks, the Penn sylvania State College has been in nightly communication with the four corners of the United States through its Radio Station operated by the De partment of Electrical Engineering. On October first, the power of the station was Increased by installing a two hund red-fifty watt transmitting vacuum tube set in connection with its wireless .sending outfit, thereby increasing tho j transmitting radius of the station to a considerable extent. Every mail brings many post cards and letters from distant amateur sta tions giving hours and dates when “BXE”, the Penn State station, was dis tinctly heard. Among stations report ing within the last few days are those at San Francisco, Oakland, and Modes-1 to, California, La Conner in tho state; of Washington, New Orleans and Bat on Rouge in Louisiana, Palm Beach and Lakeland, Florida, Trescon, Arizona, San Antonio, Texas, as well as Welles ley, Somerville, Everott and West Chelmford. Mnsschusetts, and from many mid-western and southern states. Other reports have come from beyond { our borders, Wlnnepeg. Manitoba, and) Kitchener, Ontario having “worked” the! local station recently. j "BXE” is an official relay station of; the Amateur* Radio Relay League of; America, and is assigned to trunk linoj B which extends from Boston to Sanj Francisco. Within the next two weeks I the station will Inaugurate a regular! telephone broadcasting service which: will be of great interest to the ever) increasing number of radio fans who! have installed receiving sets. j PENN STATE MEETS NAVY FOR THE SIXTEENTH TIME The game between Penn State and the Navy next Friday will be their six teenth meeting on the gridiron, and the Nlttany Lions are firmly resolved to raise their end of the total score for this series of encounters, though they know full well that it will be no easy task. The Middies' points for the games with Penn State now number one hund red and twenty-five with the latter’s reaching seventy-six. Eight games have gono to the Navy, five to Penn State, and two ended in ties. With keen recollection of the close score in the game with the Middies lost fall which ended 13 to 7 in Penn Stated favor, the Nittany eleven has added Incentive for work. That victory was the first since 1906, with four games having been played in the meantime, one of them netting a scoreless tie. The other tie was back in 1894 when the two teams first met After that State lost three successive games, then came back with three straight wins. The next two went to the Navy, and the following one, that of 1906 brought a 5 to 1 win for Penn State. Navy won In 1907, Penn State in 1908 and there was a scoreless tie in 1911. The last encounter previous to last year was In 1903 when Navy won 10 to 0. LET'S MAKE IT A BEAL MASS MEETING IN THE AUDITORIUM TONIGHT BIG MASS MEETING EVERYBODY OUT! H. L. Koehler, president of the renn State Athletic Association, •mtunmees a rousing football mass meeting to lie held in the Audi torium tonight at seven-thirty o'clock. Elections for vice-presi dent of the Association will also be held In connection with the mass meting. “Tiny” McMahon and "Dutch’’ Bedenk are the can didates for the position. W. VIRGINIA DOWNED BY FROSH GRIDMEN Starting with a hard hitting drive in the first half of the game the Nittany freshman gridiron squad plowed through the West Virginia aggregation for three touchdowns and as many ex tra tallies, ending the game in their favor, 21 to 0 Sturday afternoon on New Beaver Field. Both sides played hard from the beginning and several times the contest assumed appearances of varsity style. Tho gains by long runs on the part of the freshman backfields around the ends and through center were respons ible for the most part for the Blue and White yearlings* touchdowns, only one long pass helping to bring them nearer the goal line. Tiie first scoring play came in the first few minutes of the contest. With the ball In their possession, the Nittany first year team came down the Held In a series of long runs, tho mountaineers seeming to offer very little opposition to the whirlwind attack. Johnston and Light were the outstanding figures in the' drive, each making consistent gains for fifteen to twenty yards. With the ball but a few yards from the goal. W. Baker, quarterback, carried the pigskin across the line. Onyx added the oxtra point by kicking. Receiving the ball from the next kick off, the visitors made a few yards by. scrimmage until tho ball was fumbled and recovered by the Nittany team. An other attack was opened against the Mountaineers similar to that which re sulted in the first score. A steady drive brought the ball down to the visitors' one yard line where their opposition stiffened for a few minutes. Light, however, soon pushed the ball across for the second touchdown and the extra point made the score 14 to 0. A thirty yard pass from Baker to Faulkner in the next play again brought the Penn State freshmen's bull close to their opponents’ goal. A long plunge by Johnston put the ball over the five yard line when the quarter ended. At the opening of the second period. Johnston carried the ball across for tlie third score, which was increased a l»«l»t by the extra kick. Tiie Virginians, receiving the Kail on downs from the freshmen, started their only strong drive of the game. By long runs which the Nittany line was unable to chock and a pass, tho visitors man raged to carry tho ball ten yards from i tlie goal. The stiffening of the lihiej and White line stopped their attack aml| prevented their making a first down.! Tiie remainder of the half consisted* merely of both sides exchanging the! l*all by punts and failure to make! clowns. i During tho second half the Penn State frosh slowed up in their hard chive and failed to keep the same style of playing which had resulted in their three touchdowns in the first half. Their playing lacked the hard attack neces sary to penetrate the opposing defense and to make gains of any considerable value. For a while the Virginians had; the hall in their possession resulting! from an intoroepted pass, but were un- 1 able to score. * ! CHEMICAL AG STUDENTS DO VALUABLE RESEARCH I Work on Raisin Sugar Determina | tion and on Other Problems Is of Commercial Importance The Department.of Chemical Agricul ture of Penn State advertises in the General Catalogue a course entitled “Chetn. Agr. 503. Research”. In this course the student, usually a senior, is assigned a problem in chemical agri culture, on the solution of which he must present a thesis. Several of these problems prosecuted by the class of 1922 were of considcable commercial importance, and some valuable results followed as a consequence of the work done by these students. Potassium Availability Problem Last year J. L. Halderman '22 carried on a aeries of experiments to determine the ideal chemical condition under which potassium in the soil can be lib erated from minerals such as ortho clase, which are known to yield potas sium very slowly, often too slowly to be of help to the farmer in his fertility problems. As he had expected, Halder man found that an acid condition is more conducive to the liberation of potassium than alkalinity, but that this does not hold true after a certain degree of acid ity has been reached. In order to show the point at which acidity is no longer useful In this regard, Halderman made a curve showing the degree of availa bility of potassium as compared with (Continued on last pace) The Syracuse Orange Had i A Tough Bind j PRICE FIVE CENTS CAMPAIGN OPENS FOR PENN STATE IN PHILADELPHIA Health and Welfare Fund Boosted by Several Individual Subscriptions ADAMS COUNTY REPORTS FULL QUOTA OF $SO0l) Headquarters Publishes Records of Various Counties In Drive to Date While campaign talk was "taboo” at the alumni dinner in New York at the Hotel Pennsylvania last Friday night before the Syracuse game, the presence of President Thomas and Dr. dpnrks and the addresses they gave when the ‘S7 football team was feted served to tie up the alumni there more closely to the college and its needs. The fifth week of the alumni drive started yesterday, and was observed in Philadelphia by mi alumni dinner last night which was addressed by President Thomas. The organization there is just getting under way, postponed because of other drives and activities in the city. The Philadelphians have a quota ot over half a million to raise and the big job will receive considerable help from the Philadelphia headquarters of the col lege which is in charge of Dean R. L. Sackett. The campaign has boon featured dur ing the past few days by the arrival of a number of large individual subscrip tions. The total in pledges held is now $650,000. Adams county went over tho top on Saturday with Its $BOOO quota, and joins Cambria In that select group. The fruit growers of Adams county were largely responsible for the goal being reached there.
