THE NAVY IS NEXT
Now that the Sjracuse game is a thing ot the past and is recorded
in Penn State football history as an inexpiuinable contest, the Nittany
eleven faces what has been termed the crucial contest of the season.
Two mighty machines will face each other next Friday in Washington
to settle a score that is claiming the attention of the gridiron world.
Penn State must come through.
The contest last Saturday was a disappointment to every Penn
State man but it had its redeeming features. The Lion met a foe that
was worthy of more consideration than was given it. Syracuse pre
sented a team that played football in every sense ot the word. Horn
the first to the final whistle, the Syracuse men fought their best, in a
way that deserves the respect of every other American team. As far
as Penn State is concerned, the New York institution has a team that
may well be ranked with the best in the hast.
On the other hand, the Blue and White eleven did not play the
way they have been taught. As Captain Bentz said Sunday morning,
“we did not work together, not because we did not want to, but because
we could not get started. At least it seemed so. Each individual on
the Penn State team played well, but it was the necessary push that
was lacking. Was the spirit lacking? Emphatically, no! A cloud
of apathy seemed to envelope each man, from which he could not shake
himself. Besides, it was the first strong opposition that the team has
met, and it was certainly a new sensation that they experienced to hit
the line and not find it crumple before their onslaught.
But certain changes will be noticeable Ironi now on. A mass
meeting will be held before the team leaves for Washington. The en
tire student body will awake to the realization that Penn State has a
champion team which will assert itself to the limit in the games to
follow if the students will give their unlimited support. This has been
given in the past and it will surely be given in the iuturc as long as
Penn State is Penn State. Unity of endeavor and purpose on the
part of the student and his team will give Coach Bczdck ample reason
for smiling next Friday afternoon. EVERYBODY! LEVS GO!
AN EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT
The girl students of Penn State are to be complimented on the
vaudeville which they presented in the Auditorium last Friday night.
In quality and variety of the many numbers, it was equal to many
that are seen on the professional stage and not a few of the ten acts
have been proclaimed as the best that have been seen here in many
years. The size of the audience that applauded throughout the even
ing was ample proof that Penn State heartily approved.
In considering an entertainment of this nature, directed and made
possible only by the utilization of local talent, it is unusually hard to
realize the amount of labor, time and thought that must be applied
generously to make it a success. And when the attitude of the public
shows that it has exceeded the expectations of the most optimistic
credit should be given to those who arc responsible.
In the first place, it was a spirit of loyalty to the college that
prompted the co-eds to stage the vaudeville for 4 thc benefit of the En
dowment Fund. This has ever been a characteristic of the Penn State
co-ed and is a quality that has not been appreciated in the past to the
extent merited. Ever since girl students have been permitted to ma
triculate, instances have arisen, time and again, to prove this. Their
recent remarkable participation in the campaign when each one pledged
one hundred dollars stands out above all other attainments.
_A question that was on the lips of a great number of persons who
witnessed the vaudeville was, “Why don’t we have more entertainments
of this nature?” Surely, it is a question worth considering. One of
the outstanding facts impressed upon the audience is that there is a
wealth of ability and talent at Penn State to provide an entertainment
of exceptional quality. All that is needed is the initiative to plan* and
direct such a show. The intiative is also possessed in abundant meas
ure but it seems to have fallen into a relapse. The co-educational
students should be thanked for resurrecting it.
Again the Penn State team has received an invitation to represent
the eastern part of the country in an intersectional football contest and
this time, the invitation comes front the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate
Conference. Penn State’s opponent has not yet been selected but fol
lowers of the pigskin may be sure that the eleven which bears the col
ors of the western institution will be the strongest that section of the
nation has to offer. The Lion can lick his chops with a certain
flex his muscles in anticipation of a battle royal,
amount of pride at being thus selected and, at the same time, he should
This trip to the coast is a fitting reward to the men on the team
who have workd so hard for the recognition of the college and the
football world and indirectly they have been aiding the cause, of Penn
State to a great extent. The game this year will be a direct help to the
college inasmuch as the Lion’s share of the proceds is to be placed in
the Emergncy Building Fund.

.sponsoring the. idea of an “aristoc
in y of brains." It is said that Dart
mouth means t > deny education to the
poor people, reserving it for the few
prA iieued sons of wealth. It is to laugh.
•Tin* .Ww York Times’ sees a neglect
■f the side of the college purpose that
deals with the development of character.
We can only suggest that the editor of
that esteemed journal is not familiar
with the details of the selective process
oy which Dartmouth is now choosing
the men whom it proposes to develop
into an aristocracy of hrains. Not scho
lastic ability alone is accentuated there;
all tin* qualities that men have always
respected are included, ami the prime
requisite laid down :s a combination of
character, scholarship, and tichicvement
that the College holds will best til an
applicant to be n good liartmouth man
and Inter a good citizen.
"No Dartmouth man wants si fresh
man class composed of men whose sole
interest is study; still less are wanted
men who neglect scholarship for other
activities. We take nil 'sirislorracy of
brains’ to mean a collection of men best
to take advantage of a college
education, in other words the men who
b.-st combine sebulastii; achievements
with success in other lines of student
life. Tile selective process appears to
be the best means of securing that com
bination that has been devised tip to the
present time.
"Some say there ran he no such thing
as too many men going to college. That
may hi* true—although wo very much
doubt it: at all events, Dartmouth has
its own acute problem in the matter of
too many men wanting to go to college
in Itaimver. The-task of selecting its
men is coupled with the greater task of
developing an ‘aristocracy of brains.*
It is a happy combination, and judging
from the impression created thus far
by tlie new freshman class, one that
promises to work out successfully.”
Chicago I'hlilor Agrees
“The Uhiengo Atnercan" tigrees with
the sentiment of the speech in the fol
lowing words:
"Tlie Dartmouth president says too
many nn-n go pi college, that college
edn<-:iiion in Ids opinion should be re
ed for men with certain brain qual
ity. And the presence of many dull and
.-low men keeps the men worth while

might.

no use forcing musical education on si

is you can't select. Also, fortunately, It
