Building Alembcr ot Eastern >o\\si>aper Assodutlou TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1922 —_E. E. Helm News Editor this Issue.. THANKSGIVING lhanksgiying Day, the oldest American holiday and first celebrai ed by tne young Republic ot Plymuuth in the autumn oi 1621, has been observed annually tnrough three Hundred years with a growing reali zation oi its woith as a tiaduion and ot its importance to the nuimm mind. It is a time set side by the head of the world's greatest iepuo lic lor the offering of thanks for the many blessings that have been showered on the nation by the God of all men. Conditions have changed since a small band of colonists surround ed the festive board in 1621 and offered humble thanks for the guid ance they had felt on their journey across the ocean and in their first year of settlement. The proclamation announced to half a hundred is now issued to a hundred million. The little colony has become'n world power The dogmatic principles expressed in that Mayflower compact have become embodied in a document, the like of which “has never been penned by the hand of man.” The apparently insignificant English colony has been transformed into a commonwealth of people from all nations, all races, all creeds and all colors. Today, as in the year of 1621, the spirit of Thanksgiving is still es sentially the spirit of youth That first holiday, which lasted three days, was marked with a progam of games, sports, social and religious inteicourse. The pilgrims knew no distinction between religion and the everyday occupations They took religion into every action the) committed. Now, we have the greatest football contests of the year on that same day when the son returns to his parents and when the family visits their church for thanksgiving and prayer. It is still that relaxation and change from the rigorous toil of industry and a period of rest when the heart of man may express.its gratitude to the heart of God. In one other regard has Thanksgiving Day remained unchanged by the marks of Time. It is still a standard by which a person can be judged, it is still the distinguishing line between mere human junk and a real man. If a person yearns to visit his home; if he longs for the sight of his loved ones; if he,is thankful for the past, has faith m the present and hopes for the future; if he enters into.the spirit of the holiday with that buoyant feeling of optmism and with an intense feel ing of loyalty for his country, and his college, '{if he*be a college man); he can be chalked down as a real honest-to-goodness man. Otherwise; his rating is extremely doubtful. ; A GOOD SCRAP Anyone who was fortunate enough to see the sand scrap on New Beaver Field last Saturday afternoon witnessed few objectionable fea tures throughout the entire contest. Being the first scrap of this na ture to be tried at the college, it received an"enthusiastic inauguration and only words of praise could be heard from the spectators and the participants. Realizing the need for more scraps of a non-dangerous character, Student Council appointed a committee to report on a suitable scrap lo take the place of the pushball scrap. _ This committee devised the rules of the sand scrap and when they were reported, the Council adopted without a dissenting voice, even though a very few, thought that this action was a sure sign of a diseased mind and an incapable attitude But the scrap has been staged and has proved to be such a success that there exists little doubt but that it will be made an annual event. This-may reasonably be expected from Student Council in the near future. There are several features of this scrap which merit comment The cost of staging the scrap was a minimum due to the character of the scrap itself A few cement bags, rented at a low price, constitut ed the only expense connected with the contest. The labor of filling the bags with free sand or dirt was performed by the frosh. The con duct of the scrap was supervised by members of the Student Council Also it was commendable that the scrap was so cleanly conducted. In only a few minor instances was there any slugging and these men were immediately reprimanded and watched In fact, there were four supervisors who did not see any slugging at all throughout the three heats which were run It was a clean cut affair from the beginning to the end This was to be expected The scrap is open and can be easily controlled ’Little advantage is to be gained in the use of fist cuffs, and this is not even thought of since the attention of each con testant is centered on the little bag of earth he endeavors to get From the standpoint of the spectator, the contest was entertaining to no slight degree. Action is crowded into every minute that the scrap is in progress and several conflicts can be seen in all parts of the field. During the course of the afternoon, many humorous actions were resorted to in order to gain possession of the 'all important bag. PITT vs. PENN STATE The greatest game of the Penn State season, the tussle between two great elevens of the same state, the gridiron classic that has been attended with feeling at a fervid heat Tor over two decades, is to be played this year in. Pittsburgh with the Nittany Lion by nooneans the favorite. The season has been a story of,misfortune from 'the beginning as far as the Penn State team is concerned. ‘Nothing'but unlucky inci dents and undeserved ‘defeats have rewarded 'the 'efforts of Coach Bezdek and his sqaud of ,plucky men who have fought and struggled for the glory of their Alma Mater. Fate has turned her face away when the Blue, and White has implored a smile. 'Suffering from two lost games and disappointed' in a third, the Nittany Lion betook himself to his lair to lick his wounds and to once more'prepare himself for a gigantic encounter. He must battle the Panther and the story of the struggle of'giants is to be decided in two days. But that same Lion is never to<be considered lightly. The show ing he has made in every game this season demands recognition. The Lion may well be respected. The sight of Forbes Field has never yet failed to arouse his muscles, no matter how tired. At the blowing of the-whistle, he is always seen tense, ready to strike with powerful raws He is the same old Lion of years ago and will be supported as in the past. With Bezdek as the leader, the Penn State,student-is assured that whether the Lion is beaten or whether he emerges victorious, it will be a hard, clean fight to the finish and the game will not end until the final whistle is blown. THE NAME SMITH If we should tell you that a man by the name of Smith is goinj to speak in the. Auditorium tonight, you would probably wonder why 1 a man with such a common name would ever;attempt to do such a I thing. But when-we ..add to the statement, the'fact that this Smith [happens to be Fred B. Smith, older inhabitants will immediately take | interest and the younger generation will start to investigate. This man Smith who speaks in the Auditorium this evening is an uncommon person. His powerful figure alone will bear out this state-] ment for he has a build which would make any athletic coach jealous. But the power behind that figure is the thing that really makes Fred B. Smith. As one of the biggest business and religious leaders of the country,'he is well woTth hearing but as a man with a message backed by a-magnetic personality and as an orator of highest ability he is ab solutely irresistible. It has been said of Mr. Smith that he has addressed more people than any other orator in the world. Just last summer lie returned from Europe after an eight months speaking tour around the world Dur ing that time he made three hundred addresses In former years, he traveled around the world three times addressing all English-speak ing peoples as well as others through the use of interpreters. His topic for tonight, “The World Situation” is therefore one on which he is thoroughly prepared to speak ’ - . - _________— ——— ——■ There is'also the puio mt, nir I _ . ~I nt St.uo College which is not at Philo.

Choice of a Career ' -From the Yale'News THE NINETY-FOUR Someone, probably -an insurance agent, was quoted recently as saying that from *the mass of one* hundred college graduates one individual only rose to the Polo and butler class, peril ously near the top of the financial lad der. Five others became comfortably off and found themselves after twenty years at the small yacht-and chauffeur stage. The other ninety-four presum ably congregate in the great section of die American people who drive their. ownßuicks to the l golf cluK In other words, dreaming about being a rich man is one thing, and making the grade is^ '-‘something else again.” - ' * - ‘Yet the ninety-four presumably work justashardasthesumptuoussix.

They have become .devotees of. the dollar and when that fickle deity deserts, have nowhere else to turn., .''Jammed in%a dull, straight rut of.business, they can never leave the road and jump the fence into finer fields of life.- This, then, is the portion of ninety-four men out of every hundred now on the campus.
