Captain Djkcnum First to Finish
&ptaln Dykematt of the Plaid team
snalntalned his reputation in last Sat

minutes and 27 seconds. 35 seconds
ahead of Horton *25 of Penn State, who
crossed the lino In second place. Cap

which he has been entered this year,
while Captain Enck, Who has been
steadily Improving the qunlity of his
country work all season, gave the
b*at exhibit of distance work that he
displayed this fall. The race was
an d intensely interesting, and
though Dykeman took the lead from

PENN STATE SOCCER
TEAM DEFEATS NAVY
Nittany Booters Break String of Tie
Games When Middie Aggregation
Is Conquered, 3-2
The determination to fight to the
bitter end, awakened in tho minds of
the Penn State soccer team, by the en
thusiastic send-off given them at the
mass meeting last week,* won for the
Nittany IJon the hardest battle yet en
tered this year when Navy went down
to a 3—2 defeat, and prepared the team
for tlie still harder struggle with Haver
ford here next Saturday.
That the students demonstrated their
faith in and support of the soccer
team has been declared by many of:
the latter to have been the deciding
factor in the winning of the Navy game
The contest was clean and hard, the
Penn State booters playing almost a
magic game. The first two goals won
by the Nittany aggregation were made
in thu first five minutes of play, the
Navy placing two insldo tho goal net
during the latter tw'enty-flve minutes
of the first half, making the score nt
the end of that period, 2—2.
The Penn State team, showing ab
solutely no signs of fatigue, entered
the* second half with the determination
to put forth every ounce of strength
tlint was in them to prevent the shat
tering of the record maintained by the
three undefeated aggregations that
have gone before them. Navy was not
permitted to score, while the Nittany
Lion added one more tally to his own
list. The surprised and desperate Navy
booters attempted to stage a comeback
and the battle that ensued was one of
the hardest and most bitter that have
been witnessed on any soccer field.
Two desperate teams were battling for
the preservation of traditions so that
neither side was enabled to maintain
the offensive for any length of time,
on account of the fast and aggressive
playing of its opponent.

INITIAL ENGINEERING
EXHIBIT SUCCESSFUL
.Numerous Subjects of Interest in
All Departments Show Work of
Engineering School
Thu series of exhibits staged on the
morning of Pennsylvania Day by the
students and faculty of the engineering
school far exceeded the expectations of
a great number of the uninitiated.
iTucticully every student look some
part in the very complete exhibition of
the facilities and products of tile en
gineering school. Besides the special
exhibits and humorous stunts, practic
ally .all the laboratories were open fur
inspection, and were not found want
ing in any respect by tho many visit
ors. A very largo number of people
visited the buildings, and even contin
ued to stream through the buildings,
after the exhibits were completed..
The industrial engineers took a lead
ing place in the exhibit. All of the
shops iu units two and three wero run
ning, besides several stunts. Souven
irs wore given away by both the wood
and metal shops. An ingenious me
chanical man opened the door to the
metal shop, spouted compressed air on
the passerby, and closed the door after
him. The visitor was compelled *to
pass over a jarring platform in pass
ing between the tw*o units, which, how
ever did not prove fatal to anyone.
Another of the best of the industrial
exhibits was in the form of a large
clock with a gigantic pendulum, which
brought to view a different motto or
caption at each swing of the pendu
lum.
Passing on to the workshop of the
electrical engineers, the visitor was
treated with several novel stunts.
Soverul of the machines were running
and added to the spirit of the occasion.
Student demonstrators “barked" their
knowledge on things electrical, notably
interesting being the demonstration of
a modern telephone switchboard. A
demonstration .trolley cor made good
speed, the electrical furnace room
belched forth smoke and heat, sema
phores operated automatically, and In
short everything graphically indicated
the forwardness of the electriculs. One
of their interesting stunts was In the
form of a paper lighthouse, with a
small pilot light on top, which lighted
only when over State College on a min
iature map. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
and Scranton mysteriously refused to
j light the lamp.
! The foundry ran a charge of metal
through the cupola for the benefit of
its admirers, casting many different
shapes and types of castings, notably
spelling out the word INDUSTRIALS
in a large open sand floor mold. -
The mechanical engineering labora
tory next claimed the attention of the
visitor. Several steam engines were:
running ranging in size from the larg
est In the building, to the small boy
tyi>e heated with an alcohol lamp, and
included a perfect working model of
a fast modern locomotive. The prin
cipal mystic act of the mechanicals
took the shape of a common bottle
suspended by four wires from which
| flowed forth a never ending stream
of magic fluid.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 14, 1922
at inside right, made the first two
goals for Penn State, within the first
five minutes of play. No sooner had
the hull been put in motion than the
Nittany hooters carried it down the
field with almost magic swiftess, scor
ing the first goal before the surprised
Navy soccerites realized what had hap
pened. Although the entire team play
ed better than at any time this year,
Captain Hurrah at center half. Me-
Vaugh at right halfback, Kelly at out
side right, Crooks outside left, and
“Andy” Warner at inside left, shutter
ed time and again the Navy's hopes
of scoring, while ail of them were in
strumental in staging tin aggressive
attack that swept the Middies down
the field.-
Nor were the breaks of the game the
cause of' victory for the Lion, sinco
Penn Stale was awarded six corner
kicks, as against four for the Annapolis
hooters, one of the gouts for the Blue
and White being scored from a corner
kick. During the first half the Penn
State team was crippled by the almost
complete uselessness of Grupp, on ac
count of the result of an injury sus
tained by the latter in practice some
time ago. It was thought that
Grupp. who is one of the best players
on the Blue, and White soccer squad,
had recovered sufficiently to enable him
to enter Saturday's contest, but it was
necessary to substitute Gaul in the sec
ond half. Edgerton was also substi
tuted for Hagenbuch in the latter period.
Haverford Formidable
The Blue and White hooters meet the
strongest opponent of the season, when
Haverford comes here for the final game
of the year next Saturday. Haverford

PLAYERS WILL PRESENT
“ALICE-SIT-BY-THE-FIRE”
Ruthanna Sharpless and Austin
Blakeslee Have Leading Roles
in Barrie Production
The Penn State Players will present
"AHoe-Slt-By-The-Fire" by -I. M. Bar
rie, 'November twenty-ninth in the Aud
itorium. This play is considered to be
one of Barrie's best productions and
it has been successfully produced both
professionally and in amateur circles.
It is under the personal direction of A.
C. Cioetingh, whose able direction has
created such a high standard for the
Players. This is a play that no one
who Is up to the times on the campus
can afford to miss seeing.
Miss Ruthanna Sharpless plays the
role of Rollo. They are two of the most
pleasing characters in .the play and, in
terpreted by two such talented people,
the roles are made much of.
This will bo the hist appearance of
Miss Sharpless in State College, as she
is being graduated in February. The
Players will fool a real loss in her ab
sence not readily to be filled.
Miss Sharpless will be remembered
by State College audiences for her very
sptendid performances In “Seven Keys
to Baldpate," "Nothing but the Truth,"
"Pomander Walk," "Phipps," "The
Perfect Woman," and "The Maker of
Dreams." In "Alice-Sit-By-ThecFire”
she will again display that lightness of
touch and that depth of expression that
are envied by all who seo her.
'Notice of the advance sale of tick
ets will be made later.
ALUMNI PLAN FOR DANCE

WELL KNOWN SOLOIST
Singer Who Will Appear With Cad
man Has Been Praised by
Noted -Musicians
Princess Tsianina, who will assist
Charles Wakefield Cndman in the solo
ist's role in Ids concert which is to he
given in the Auditorium a week from
next Friday evening, has appeared
jointly with the well-known American
composer in his All American concerts
for the hist four years, ami her inter
pretations of the' I ,folk music of the
American Redman.'have been received
with ilattering success by many of the
most distinguished music critics.
In addition to her work in Cadman’s
All American concert, the Indian prin
cess has appeared us soloist for most of
the largest musical festivals and lead
ing symphony orchestras and clubs in
the United States, such as the New
York Symphony Orchestra, the Minne
apolis Symphony, the Russian Sym
phony, and many others. In all of these
programs, Princess Tsianina has per.
formed with unqualified success and
has been received with the highest hon
ors both in this country and abroad.
She Ims been highly praised by such
artists in the musical world as Melba,
Shumunu-Heink, Alma Gluck, Lucy
Gates, Sophie Braslau. Alice Neilson.
Miiud Powell, Marie Tiffany, Caruso,
McCormack, Althouse, Krlesler, and
many others. One of these musicians,
Melba, has said oft Tsianina, "She puts
more soul feellng-.dnto her songs than
any. other stngert" And Shumann-
Heink, the well-kiiown concert soloist,
recently said of "She Is Indeed won

the title role of this work. The sketch
for "Shunewis" was written by Tsianina
and is, in part, the story of her life.
In her native costumes she makes a
picture in the All American program
and the interpretation of the opera
"Shanewis" is never forgotten by those
who hear her.
FROSH WIN LAST
GAME OF SEASON
Syracuse Freshmen Defeated By
Score of 16 to 14—Touchback
Deciding Factor
ORANGE TEAM SCORES
TWICE IN SECOND HALF
Continuing their driving offensive
work, the freshmen gridiron--squad‘com
pleted their season's schedule-last Sat
urday morning when they scored two
touchdowns against the Syracuse year
lings while holding them scoreless-dur
ing the first half. A touchback on the
part of the Nittany frosh and two
touchdowns against the Syracuse year
last two periods made the final score
16 to 1-1 in favor of the Blue and White
aggregation.
Tho attacking power of the Penn
State freshmen was as strong as in the
past games, the bnckfield men making
long gains throngh their opponents
defense, and during the first half, com
pletely outplaying the visitors. Light
was the outstanding bail runner for
the Nittany frosh, while Helbig, Johns
ton and Baker played consistent foot
ball all through the gume. Buckley
started the game but was not able to
stay In on account of his Injury which
is. still hindering his playing, Baker,
who did such sensational work last week
as quarterback, did not show such ex
cellent football lust Saturday although
hiß playing was above the average.
Grey, the big center, and the ends, Mc-
Cann and Onyx, also did good work on
the line all through the contest.
The Syracuse team outweighed the
Lion Cub 9 in nearly every position,
which in a large measure resulted in
a let up of freshman defense In the
last half and the successful drives of
the New York squad, which gave them
their two touchdowns. The heavy baek-j
field men could not be stopped in theirj
attack on the Nittany line, which al-|
lowed them to make two drives down
the field.
The initial score for tho Nittany team
came In the first period when the Syra
cuse representatives,- being penalized,
were on their ownr'two yard line. A
forward pass was .attempted but hit
the goal bar and bounced back, result
ing in n touchdowi) ffor the Ntttanyltes.
During the second quarter, l the Penn
Stnte squad by means of straight line
bucking and end runs, took the ball
down to the four yard.line. Syracuse
held their attack for two downs, but on
the following play Bight carried the
Kill across for the first touchdown.
Onyx kicked the extra point.
The second touchdown came in the
second period for the Centre County frosh
Helbig, who did not catch it but knocked
it in |such a manner that it was caught
by Onyx who was close to Helbig at the
time-jand ran for the touchdown.

The Nittany Lion
Sure Did Lick
His Chops Saturday J
PRICE FIVE CENTS
More than 15.000 spectators, the
greatest crowd in Penn State history,
saw the Nittany Lions come luck with
a vengeance last Saturday afternoon
on New Beaver Field when they ran
roughshod over "Wally" Steffen's pow
erful Carnegie Tech eleven for a Irt to
0 victory.
It was a reorganized and rejuvenated
team that ploughed its way through the
fighting Tartans. Both teams played
brilliant football for every minute of
the contest but Bezdek's warriors
showed their strength to best advantage
in the second period which was tlte big
one of the game and witnessed all of
the scoring of the afternoon. A few
minutes after this quarter started. I'enu
‘State hammered over a touchdown with
a battering ram uitack and just before
the first half ended ".Mike” Palm kicked
a beautiful field goal from the eighteen
yard line.
Wilson Stars
Harry Wilson, sensational halfback.
w;ts tlte individual star of the game.'
Time and again he broke through the
Skibo defense for brilliant gains and
did great work in knocking down for
ward passes. Wentz, who played his
first varsity game at fullback for Penn
State on Saturday, was a tower of
strength both on offensive and defensive
plays, lie crashed his way through the
Tartan line with apparent ease and was
responsible for many first downs cred
ited to the Nittany team.
Robertson, flashy Tech quarterback,
performed, in a brilhuu manner for the
visitors. He proved himself an able
field general and a fast, dangerous man
on the attack. The splendid forward
passing of Ijtmb and the straight, hard
bucks by Brumbaugh were features of
the game.
Action Starts
The game started with Bentz kicking
off for Penn State. Brumbaugh re
ceived the ball on the’ ten yard Hue and
returned It to the thirty-five yard line.
Robertson shot through right tackle
for five pards and Brumbaugh cleaned
Up two through center. A fake double
pass failed to gain for the Tartans and
Anderson punted to Palm on the six
teen yard line who advanced the ball
ton yards.
Wilson broke through center for three
yards and Wentz bucked the line for
eight more sit left tackle. Wilson made
it si first down for Penn State siml Palm
shot around left end on the next plsiy
for st four ysird gain. Wentz sulded sm
other first down. Wilson hit the line
for seven ysmls but tlufford fumbled
on the next play sind Brumbaugh re
covered for Carnegie Tech on the forty
seven ysird line.
Robertson broke loose for si sensa
tional fifteen yard run through luff
tackle. A number of unsuccessful at
tempts sit bucking the Nittany stone
wall forced the Tartans to resort to
forward passes in sin effort to msike a
first down. Three of these j kisses were
unsuccessful and Penn Stsite took the
