He was chairman of the campaign com mittee in Cambria county, tho first county in the state to go over the top In raising is campaign quota. Mr. Cosgrove told them “how it was done** in Cambria.- There the secret of success was the willingness of the men on the committee to get out and hustle, rounding up the alumni and then the .merchants and industrial men, going about the project In such a way that succes was inevitable.

The party, which has been Instituted as an .annual custom In the girls' calendar of events, is being held for the fourth time this year and it is hoped that this one will be the best of all.

BIG RECEPTIONGIVEN “BEZ” AT! PITT SMOKER Building Fund Also Receives Sub stantial Boost At Meeting Of Pittsburgh Alumni A substantial boost was given to the campaign to keep Bezduk at Penn State and to aid the Building Fund at the smoker bold by tho Pittsburgh alumni on the eve of the l'itt game; As a re sult of the enthusiasm and spirit that swept the crowd, an intimation that'he would remain at Penn State was se cured from "Bez” and seven thousand dollars was pledged to the Building Fund. The affair, which was attended by a crowd of over ono thousand en thusiastic alumni and students, was held at Kauffman's restaurant. A great .shout greeted Bezdck as he ; entered tho room and so sustained and earnest was the reception tendered him, that tho football mentor was visibly touched. Placards similar to those on the Penn State campus, had been scat tered.over the place and exhortations to 'stick to the Nlttony Institution met the coach from every side. Although “Bez" made no definite statement as to what his decision would be, he left an im pression that aroused a feeling of hope among the Blue and White followers. From the.trend of his talk the audience gathered that he was merely holding back an announcement of his decision In deference to his promise to consult the officials of the Philadelphia I'oscb.ill Club before making a final decision. This belief was further strengthened when Bezdek, toward the end of his speech, outlined a broader aiid more conservative policy for the alumni to follow in regard to his handling of the team and athletics In general at Penn State. Games Scheduled for Next Year Nell Fleming, graduate athletic man ager, informed the Alumni in -a short talk that two big games have been se cured for'Penn State next season.

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN NOT REACHING GOAL Local Chapter May Have To Be Suspended for Coming Year Because of Lack of Funds Only twelve hundred dollars bos been raised in *tho local Red Cross drive which has been on for the lost two weeks. The goal of the drive has been set at two thousand dollars and unless more funds are obtained much of the work of the local chapter will have to be given up for the coming year. According to Mrs. J. B. Hill, chairman of the local campaign, the expenses for the work carried on last year, exceeded the amount collected by four hundred dollars, and this deficit will have to be collected in addition to the two thousand dollars necessary for this year's budget A nurse was engaged by the Red Cross to visit the sick and needy of the town and from present prospects her work will have to be discontinued. The mon ey that is collected here in State College is not sent to national headquarters as some believe, and accordingly, every dollar subscribed is spent In useful work in the town. The campaign will be continued, how ever, until sufficient funds have been secured. A direct appeal to the students has been -barred by the college authori ties on acount of the recent building drive. Representatives, however, have been appointed for each fraternity house and students wishing to aid the Red Cross may give their subscriptions to these men.

Of this sum, four thousand dollars will be sent to Russia as Penn State's, share in the student relief fund that is being cbl iected in this country, and the remain ing five thousand dollars will be devot ed to work on the campus that will be of direct benefit to the students. - This year has marked a new growth and development in the “Y"a service to the students in religious lines and,'es pecially, in the development of clean and moral diversions on the campus. A considerable portion of the budget for this y*ear will be devoted to these latter activities. A series of the best Paramount pic tures are being shown every Saturday night ut a cost of five hundred dollars, for the coming year but as no admis sion is charged, this feature represents a saving to the student body of thir ty five hundred dollars. Two hundred and fifty dollars will be used to install an efficient radio set with a loud speak ing attachment for the receiving of broadcasting programs In conjunction with the movies. As further entertain ment, the "Y” has brought some of the best talent to isolated State College through its Musical and Entertainment Course. The largest amount that has been previously devoted by the Y. M. C. A. was twenty-five hundred dollars with a profit of eight hundred dollars but this year the talent will cost about five thousand dollars and, as a result, there will be a slight deficit. A service that has been linking Penn State with the outside world, is the speakers secured by the association during the fall. These men included some of the most capable speakers in the country and the Y. M. C.

The ferocious Panther won by the score of 14 to 0. It marked the first occasion In three years where eith er team has scored against the other. But the Lion did not fall .without a struggle! In fact the Nittany beast put up a glorious fight and really out did it self. Its pluck and determination in the first half particularly were a revelation. Time and again the touted Pitt team was stopped without gain and forced to punt until finally the ball rested on its own territory and the Blue and White eleven was pounding at its goal. Twice the latter aggregation fought close enough to attempt a field goal but both kicks failed. Pittsburgh, too, had a chance to score when a splendid run by Hewitt, Pitt’s premier back, carried the ball to the twenty yard line. The dog ged determination of the Lion, however, prevented a touchdowu. The most bril liant part of the game came in this half when Palm, Bezdek’s quarterback find, caught a punt on his own 23 yard line and returned it by a remarkable run to Pitt’s 34 yard inark. Palm Performs Well This long run, however, was only an instance of Palm’s splendid work during the struggle. The Nittany field general played the best game of his career and fully fulfilled all expectations. His judgment was excellent, his running and punting remarkable, and his tackling jierfect. On three occasions Palm pre 'VenleiT Pift 'touchdowns byhfs great defense work. Wilson too played « fine game for the Blue and White but he was hami>ered by a had ankle and was wntched so closely by the opposing eleven that he had little opportunity to "shine”. "Tiny” Hewitt was the outstanding player of the game. *The big Pitt full back was an entire backfield in himself and rarely failed to gain against .the Lion.
