PENN STATE ANDgJ,
SYRACUSE BATTLE!
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.

$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,

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.

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,

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.

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

before the Syracuse game, the presence
of President Thomas and Dr. dpnrks
and the addresses they gave when 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
