No 20 r A PENN WINS CLOSE GAME FROM LIONS Beautiful Placement Kick by Hamer Gives Quakers Victory—Wilson Is Individual Star For the first lime in six years Penn State bowed to the University of Penn sylvania In a football contest, when the narrow margin of one point was the deciding factor of the gtime played j before fifty thousand spectators in the new Franklin Field Stadium at PhiJa-j delphia last Saturday afternoon. Both! teams scored a touchdown in the third) quarter by the aerial route. Penn se-j cured their point after touchdown on a' beautiful placement kick by Tex” Ham-! er. Palm's drop kick for point after j touchdown went wide by just a few inches and the game ended with the score seven to six in Penn’s favor. Hut it was a gallant team that went down to defeat; a team that made elev en first downs to nine for Penn; a team that gained one hundred and sixty-three yards in scrimmage to one hundred and thirty for Penn. Bezdek’s lions fought fiercely. Their forward passing game was superb. Time after time Frank, Wilson, or McCoy rose above the heads of their opponents to pull in long for wards. skillfully shot like a baseball from the hand of "Mike” Palm. Penn State completed eight successful for ward passes for a total gain of ninty four yards. Penn completed but two forwards for twenty-seven yards, but on one of these the Red and Blue scored a touchdown. Wilson Stars Of all the players on either team, Harry Wilson stood out as the sensa tion of the day. He carried the ball' twenty-five times for Penn State, mak ing a total gain in scrimmage of one' hundred and nineteen yards. Taking! the ball on an average of almost every other play, he ripped off substantial 1 gains of seven, eight, or a dozen yards on nearly every one of these occasions. Wilson also figured in the completion of four of Penn Stale's eight successful forward (Kisses gaining forty-two yards for the Blue and White in this fashion. His fifteen yard run on an off tackle pl&y was the longest run made during the game. Time after lime he hit the Penn backs like a battering ram. In cidentally, he scored Penn State's six points, when he pulled in u beautiful forward pass from Palm and run across the line for a touchdown. Palm Plays Great Game Against the Red and Blue stalwarts, "Mike" Palm pluyed his best game of the year. As a field general, his Judg ment was faultless. He run the ball well and made a number of large gains for Penn State. His punting was great. Three of his kicks were over fifty yards la length, whilo his average for six punts was forty-six yards. “Mike" shot his forward passes like a baseball Into the arms of Wilson. Frank, and MoOoy. The entire Penn State team played a “bang-up” gume. The tine did not bold cs well as against other opponents, but the men fought gamely and fierce ly In an effort to bring victory to the Blue and White. Miller, Thurman, and Hamer were the big guns for the Quak ers. Their playing was sensational, to •>y the least. Thurman was a stone *■ll on the defense, while Miller and Hamer were the only Ponn men who could make any substantial gains •gainst the Lions. On many occasions, these men with heads down, tore through the Penn State line for gains 01 six and seven yards. Bents Wins Toss Captain Bentz won the toss and took advantage of a good breeze by deciding to defend the East goal.

[s PRINCESS TSIANINA INDIAN PRINCESS IS NOTED SINGER Taianina Has Been Instrumental In Making Cadman’s American Concert a Success EXTRACTS TO BE GIVEN FROM OPERA “SHANEWIS” If :i person were to ask Charles Wakefield Cudman, who will appear at Penn Shite next Saturday evening un der the auspices of the second number of the Y. M. c. A. Musical Entertain ment Course, how he became associated with the Indiun singer, Princess Tsiun ina, he would probably answer “it was fate", or "it was just a natural con sequence". And thereby hangs an in teresting tale. Previous to ate time when Cadmnn entered the held of Indiun musk’ with his enthusiusm, one or two investigators in the Held of American Indian lore had made their ethnological and musical findings public. Put their presentation of the subject was more or less stereo typed, and less of an entertainment than C'adman foresaw to be the logical thing. In 1913, the young composer conceived the idea of his All-American program. He realized that tho public would not stand for the usual dry lecture-recital on the subject of Indian lore, so he de signed a program that would contain three-fourths vocal and Instrumental material and one-fourth analysis. The entire program would then have be aug mented by a collection of native musi cal instruments including a real flage olet. In the early days of the program, Cad man enlisted the artistic services of Paul Harper, tenor, and then during his residence in Denver he mot the charm ing Indian girl, Tsiunina, while she was still pursuing her vocal studies under J. C. Wilcox. Charmed by her beautiful mezzo-soprano voice, he engaged her to assist hint in a concert at Colorado Springs, Colorado; and it was there that she mado her first public appear ance. At the close of her first song, the large audience gave her an ovation, and It was necessary to repeat the song be- (Continued on last page) PKOF.

STATE COLLEGE, PA.. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1922 MANY CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS BEING DOUBLED Philadelphia Smoker Last Friday Resulted in Alumni Pledges For Over $7,000 CANVASSERS NEEDED TO CARRY ON DRIVE Call’ Will Be Made for Student Campaign Volunteers to Aid Work During Christmas It is getting to be quite “the thing” now-a-days to double subscriptions to the emergency building fund. He had no more than read of the account of a freshman doubling his pledge, as published in the COLLEGIAN of last Friday, than another first year man found his way to campaign head quarters at the President’s office and gave another pledge for $lOO to be add ed to ids original contribution. “And I am going to work for the campaign at home during the Chlrst mas vacation,” this student said as he handed over his pledge to Professor A. H. Espenshade who has been made vice-director of the entire campaign. He is a Greensburger and expects to put in some good work for Penn State during the Yuletlde holiday in his home town. A number of other students have in timated that they plan to increase their pledges, and the “fever” has struck the alumni in certain parts of the state. Faculty workers report from ail sec tions that as they arrive In the lag ging counties and start to work for the campaign they not only get many additional pledges but men who have previously sent in their subscriptions are adding a second one to it. Tho story of how the undergraduates have so .splendidly supported the Penn State drive has evidently spurred the former students on to greater effort. The smoker for alumni at the Belie- vue-iStratford in Philadelphia on Fri. day night before the game with Penn acted as a great stimulus to the cam paign in Phlladephia. Over $7,000 was pledged at the meeting after Coach Bczdek, J. M. Spangler ’ll, and Alumni Secretary Sullivan made forceful ap peals for campaign support. This sum raises the Philadelphia alumni subscrip tions to over $26,000, according to their report, and it is still growing. Tho latest official report from headquarters indicated that $761,347 has been pledged. Student Canvassers Wanted The entire campaign situation has been thoroughly sized up by Professor Espenshade since his appointment to the position of vice-director by Presi dent Thomas. He find that the great cat necessity at this time is a large staff of campaign workers who will get out and interview the many peo ple who are prepared to willingly give to Penn State. A movement has been started to call for student campaign volunteers who .will undertake this when they are at home during the Chirstmos vacation. An example ol just how badly a large force of workers is needed Is shown in the following incident. Major Welty, who is one of the fac ulty workers, reporting to Professor Espenshade yesterday said that he had gone into the office of a business wn in a western Pennsylvania county solicited his subscription.

All of the men from last year’s varsity team ure back with the exception of Miller, and fill tl»e men of last year’s crack fresh man team are on the job again with the exception of Hartman and Yost, so ‘ Dutch" lias plenty of first-class mater ial from which he can pick a winning combination.

The team may not have the use of several good men during the first part of the season as some of the squad are on the football squad and thus will not be available until the gridiron season is over. H. E. Wilson ‘24 ami W. A. Shaner ’25 are in this class and will not be aide to start basketball practice until after Thanksgiving, while T. W. Artelt *25 and J. N. Iteed ‘24 will probably ac company the footlvill team to the coast in December and th.»s will not be avail able until after the > Christma» holidays. Last year's tall, lanky center. Sam Shair '24 is back on the job and prom ises to produce the same kind of bas ketball that he did last year, while H. I*. Koehler '23, the captain of last year's team is certain of putting forth the same strong qualities as a dependable guard. K. D.

FRUIT GROWERS SPEAK TO CRAB-APPLE CLUB At the last meeting of the Crab-Appte Club last Thursday evening In the Hor ticultural Building, C. M. Smith, a Lewlstown produce grower, gave a talk on his experiences in farming. Mr. Smith took a short course in agricul ture here about twelve years ago and at prosent, with this knowledge, he has been able to make a success at truck and fruit raising. In his interesting talk Mr. Smith gave his reasons for going on the farm and then how he overcame the various problems. Since it took so much to feed horses during the winter while they were idle, his chief problem was In getting a tractor that would fill their place. He not only found the tractor but also got better results in every way. Mr. Smith attributes his success to the fact that he raised produce for quality not quantity. At the next meeting of the Crab-Ap ple Club, S. L. Smodlcy, a fruit grower of Chester county, will give an interest ing talk on his experiences in fruit growing.

An extract of a letter from Miss Hel en Ogdon. Y. W. C. A. representative in Russia in 1922. follows: One of the im st interesting things that 1 saw last winter in Moscow was the Agricultural School just outside ofj the city. It is the oldest school of the kind in Russia and one of the interest ing things about it is the fact that its I’resident is an American. Robert Wil liams’ father was » railroad engineer who went to Russia about is:»0 to work oa the Moseow-Petvograd railroad. He married a Russian and the family has remained there ever since, son, Robert, graduated from the Petrowsky Kazamonvskey Agricultural School ami after studying for a while at the Uni versity of Nebraska, was offered a pro fessorship at ids Russian Alma Mater. He has taught there continually since, finally becoming president about four years ago. As may be imagined many American methods are practiced at this Russian School." "Formerly the school him famous breeds of fowl, horses, and cattle, but in the years of war ami revolution, fond has been so scarce that it has been necessary to kill off the rare ami deli cate breeds ami specialize in the hardi er mid more common kinds. The lab oratories were nice well equipped but now are depleted of most of the ne cessary apparatus. “Now if wo can continue to help the three hundred men and women with one meal a day tho whole college will run . with more efficiency and h higher morale.".

Knowing that the eyes of Penn State and of the collegiate soccer world were upon them the Blue and White soccer ites fought last Saturday afternoon as they had never fought before, sweeping the powerful Haverford team off its feet and sending it home the loser of a 1-0 clash. Manager F. W\ Miller '24 is now preparing to challenge the cham pion of the Eastern Intercollegiate Soc cer League to a post-season battle. Hitter Fight Few. if any. soccer teams have ever fought so ferociously and so desper ately as did the Lion last Saturday, on New Heaver Held. No team could have scored against the Penn State defense In that game, and the Quakers failed to penetrate It once. Knowing the strength of the Haver ford aggregation and determined to make the Penn State defense as air-tight as possible Coach Koenleyslde started “Andy Warner and MeVaugh. who played in spite of sickness, as left ami right half backs. .MeVaugh played u » almost perfect game, while Warner's defense was impregnable. Before the game ended "Andy" had played on ev ery section of the team except goal, which latter position, was ably defended b.v the usual elllcient and reliable watchfulnes of Longhnrst. Gaul began the pimp at inside left, until alKitit the middle of the Hrst half, when Shalr went in at left half and Warner was transferred to inside left. Penn State had scored the tirst goal within the tirst fifteen minutes of play. The ball hit the cross-bar and fell down in front of the net. being kicked in by Russell. From that time on until the end of the first half the Haverford de fense tightened and the period ended 1 - ft. although the ball twice hit the Haverford goal iMists. Second Half Better If possible, the second half of the game was even betterjrtayed, jhan was the first period. The~lino~with Crooks at outside left. Warner at Inside left. Grupp at center. Russel! at inside right and Kelly at outside right, worked beau tifully. The forwards exhibits! an a«- gresiveness and mi alertness that they have not shown since the season be gan. while the defense was even Indtcr. Captain Harral was in the way of every play that the easterners attemptedto put through center half, while time am! again fifty yard kicks by MeVaugh ra ined the Quakers* hopes of scoring, and “Sam” Shalr played tins best game of his life. On the line, the centering ability demonstrated by Crooks was n feature, while Russell showed remark aide adeptness at dodging, and the ’out standing characteristic of the whole team was its unprecedented aggressive ness. Three goals were scored In tho latter half. About'flftcen minutes from the end of this half, Kdgcrton was sub stituted for Ilageitbuch. but hurt his foot on the first ball he kicked, so that Warner was placed at right half and Gaul unco more took up his position at inside left.
