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 ’ - . -

1 A DISTINCTLY new tendency Is apparent in architectural

masses the' great silhouette, the profile of the building has
become of for greater importance than its detail
There is a new visor and rugsedness even in buildings which we cooven*

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. Their
business is the axis, oh which a small
and uninteresting world revolves. 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.
TTieianswer to the'problem lies in
the proper choice of a career.
