Over Seven Hundred Attended
Campaign Mass Meeting
Last Friday Night
LAST REPORT SHOWED
TOTAL OF $855,529
Professor Espenshade, “Prexy”
Thomas and “Bez” Heartily
Endorse Campaign
Several hundred students are now “all
set" to give the emergency building
fund campaign its biggest boost since
the undergraduate drive was completed
last October. They are primed to get
to work at horns during the Christmas
vacation, each in an endeavor to secure
pledges for the fund to the amount of
at least 11000. A largo number of fac
ulty members have also volunteered
for this work and the campaign should
be due for a substantial gain in the next
three weeks.
' “‘Bez* is sticking with us, boys, so
let's go out and get him that big new
physical education building, which Is
highbrow* for gym", is a statement
made by Professor Espenshade, vice-di
rector of the campaign, at the Friday
night booster mass meeting. Needless
to say, it brought down the house. The
idea was launched just after Director
Bezdek had spoken in hearty endorse
ment of the campaign. Bezdek told of
the big financial sacrifice that he has
made in heeding the appeal of the stu
dents and alumni to stick to Penn State,
and called upon all Penn State men to
■ get squarely behind the campaign and
boost it for all they are worth.
President. Thomas gave a most in
spiring campaign talk at this, the Anal
“salesmanship" meeting for vacation
workers, which was attended by at least
700 students and faculty members. He
said, In addressing the students. "You ore
gathering credit to yourself and show
ing a willingness to do more than is
ukedof you." He added that the work
la “the finest tribute to your loyalty"
and that "no money we can get will
bs so useful as that which students
secure."
President Thomas briefly outlined the
college history with respect to donations
of funds from sources other than the
slate or federal governments. These
have not been large, and combined
would not represent a sum equal to the
1850,000 which had been pledged in the
empaign up to that time. Both he and
Professor Espenshade emphasized the
need at this time foradditional canvass
ers. Director Bezdek told of the real
seriousness of the campaign nd its ben
eficial results, not only in providing the
greatly needed buildings, but In teach
ing the value of giving to students and
alumni.
Campaign Progress
The past week netted almost $35,000
to the campaign fund, Saturday being
the banner day of the week when over
110,000 were recorded at headquarters.
The last official total announcement
wa* on December eighth when it was
1865,520.
Headquarters has been busy for the
put ten days enlisting the services of
student and faculty workers for the va
cation campaign booster stunt; under
the guidance of Professor Espenshade,
» great deal has been accomplished in
this department

mainly by Martin's efforts.
For several years Cartmoll trained
and coached at North Carolina Univer
sity as well as Lafayette College, before
going to West Virginia. t.

Y.M.C. A. COMPLETES
SUCCESSFUL DRIVE
Sixty Per Cent of Student Body
Answers Plea for Funds
with $7,000
FUND EXPECTED TO
REACH $7,500 MARK
After four days of extensive can
vassing throughout the student body
and faculty during the latter part of
last week, tho Penn State Y. M. C. A.
announced a total of sovon thousand
dollars as a result of the annual drive
for funds to curry the work of the or
ganization through the coming year.
It is probable that this amount will be
increased by at least five hundred dol
lars In the next few days, as a number
of faculty members and students have
promised to subscribe to the work but
have not as yet signed up.
In comparison with the amounts that
have been raised during the last four
years, the Y. M. C. A. considers the
drive that has Just boen completed a
very good success. During the years
since the war, the largest amount that
the Penn State "Y" has been able to
raise has hardly exceeded three thou
sand seven hundred dollars, and for
that reason tho seven thousand dollar
figure of this fall tends to show an in
creased student Interest in the work of
the red triangle organization'.
Of tho soven thousand dollars that
were reported at the "Y" Hut last Sat
urday evening, at midnight, when tjie
drive was dcctarod to bo officially closed,
the amount that will bo used- at Penn
State and the amount that wilt be sent
to Russia for rollof work will be pro
rata ns was previously announced. That
Is four-ninths of the total amount
raised will be forwarded to Moscow,
and the remaining fivo-nlnths will bo
devoted to tho local w’ork. In view of
tho fact that several of the subscrip
tions were designated for Russian work
or for local work only, it is probable
that these exact figures cannot bo
strictly adhered to, but with these two
exceptions the money will be distributed
as was announced when the drive
opened.
According to the closest figures that
have been compiled hy the "Y", fully
sixty per cent of tho student body re
sponded to this drive for funds. Tho
remaining forty per cent Includes those
men whom tho canvassers were unable
to locate on account of an unreported
change of addross, and those who re
fused to subscribe.
The honors of the drive go to Major
Wiant’s team, which succeeded In rais
ing eight hundred and eight dollars.
The Individual honors go to M. L. Fore
man '24, who reported a total of one
hundred and eighty dollars.

STEADY PRACTICE
FOR PENN STATE
FOOTBALL SQUAD
First Time in Penn . State History
That Gridmen Continue Train
ing Over Holidays
TROJANS HAVE LOST
ONE GAME THIS FALL
Twenty-two Men, Coaches Bezdek
and Martin, Neil Fleming and
C. W Parsons to Make Trip
Since the Thanksgiving Day tussle
with the University of Pittsburgh, New
Beaver Field has witnessed a grim and :
determined squad of Penn State grld
ders practicing three times a week in
preparation for the big intersectional
game with the Ur.iveristy of Southern
California at Pii.w.ena on New Year's
Day.
This is the first time in the history
of the college that n Nittany football
team has not been permitted to break
training before the Christmas holidays.
A post season game was played with
the University of Washington last year
but the team loft for Seattle immedi
ately after the contost with Pitt and
did not return to practice hero.
Southern California boasts one of the
strongest aggregations on the coast this
year. The team hails from Los Angeles
and is coached hy "Gloomy Gus" Hen
derson, a nationally known flguro in
gridiron circles. The Trojans, as the
Southern California warriors are fam
iliarly known on the coast, have suc
cessfully completed a difficult schedule,
winning all but ono of the games played.
In tho only battle lost during the sea
son, Henderson’s proteges held the
strong University of California eleven
to a 12 to 0 score, a feat which some
of the best teams in the country failed
to equal. The Trojans are viewed by
Southern Californians in tho same light
in which the University warriors are
rogarded by their many supporters.
With a fair idea of tho strength of
their western opponents and an earnest
desire to end the season with a victory
over tile coast oloven. Bezdek's Nittany
Lions are working hard In an effort to
keep in trim for the game at Pasadena.
Undaunted by tho many discourage
ments faced this year, tho Penn State
warriors-are conlldent*of staging a sur
prise when they are pitted against
"Gus" Henderson's outfit on New Year's
Day. It is re|K>rted that the Southern
California grid fans consider the ap
proaching Penn State battle ns little
more than a practice game for the Tro
jans. This story Ims leaked out among
the Nittany players and is inspiring them
to do their utmost in an effort to round
out a team capable of upsetting the
dope credited to tho Californians.
A Penn State squad of twenty-two
men, togethor with Coach Hugo Bezdek,
Trainer "Bill" Martin, Graduate Man
ager Neil Fleming, and Student Manag
er C. W. Parsons, will start- for the
coast on December nineteenth, arriving
there in timo to spend Christmas in Pas
adena if possible. This will allow five
days for practice before the gamo and
should be sufficient time to enable the
players to got into shape for the big
battle. Many shifts and changes have
occurred in the line-ups of the second
and third teams as the scrubs are fight
ing hard to land a second team berth
which will insure n trip to the coast.
It Is altogether uncertain at tho present
writing who the men will bo tn make
the trip.
SOPHS END PERFECT DAY
WITH VICTORY ON MATS
Six Falls and a Decision Make
Total of 33 Points for Sophs
to None for Frosh
The freshman class still holds its
remarkable record of not having won
a single class scrap as the result of
the defeat of tho yearling wrestling
team by the sophomores on Saturday
evening. Decisive victories for tho
second year men in tho fooball and la
crosse scraps earlier in the day, drew
a large crowd of underclassmen to the
Armory on Saturday night, the fresh
men hoping for a victory to wipe out the
sting of previous defeats, the second
year men looking for a clean sweep
of the day's scraps. The hopes of the
: yearlings were scattered, however, as
; frosh after frosh was pinned to the mat
and a final scoro of 33-0 rolled up in
favor of the older class.
The score is a good Indication of the
relative wrestling merits of the two
teams but does not show the game strug
gle that the yearlings put up. Some of
the bouts were keenly contested- with
the Issue In doubt until! the last-mo
ment, but the experience and science
heavily In their favor. Six falls and
a decision were gathered tn by the soph
omores for a total of thirty-throe points,
whereas the yearlingsiiyjgtflf to
gain a single counter.
The second year men got away to a
good start by winning the one hund

HOUCK UKED BY
NITTANY HITMEN
Only Tentative Schedule Arrang
ed for Season Which Opens
February Tenth
NAVY, PENNSYLVANIA AND
ARMY NOW ON SCHEDULE
Between the men out for boxing and
their new coach, Leo Houck, a* certain
good feeling exists, partly on account
of the Increasing Interest in the sport
and largely on account of the patience
the coach has In giving his men Instruc
tions.
Ow-.ng to the limited field for seeking
opponents, only a tentative schedule
has been arranged for the boxing sea
son which will open on February tenth.
There is a tendency among the major
ity of colleges and universities not to
compete in boxing as in the other sports
since the faculties of these institutions
have ruled out boxing with the ex
ception of Inter-cluss meets.
The institutions striving to establish
boxing as nu intercollegiate sport are
the Navy, Penn, and Penn State. Match
es are arranged between these schools.
The Navy will meet the Nittany ring
men here on February seventeenth and
a date at home with Penn Is practical
ly assured. On March third, Penn State
will fight the Army at West Point and
an attempt Is being made to fill open
dates with. Springfield and with Mass
achusetts Tech.
.The Intercollegiatos will take place
on March' sixteenth and seventeenth.

ANNUAL GRIDIRON SCRAP
Second Year Men Outplay cal
lings and Win Easily by
19 to 0 Score
The sophomores completely outruahed
and outplayed tho freshman team on
Saturday, winning the annual football
scrap by the score of 19-0. The game
was loosely played with the second year
men on the offensive most of the time
and the yearlings at no time seriously
threatening to score.
The freshman eleven without the ser
vices of Gray at center and their flashy
pair of backs. Light and Buckley, were
unable to gain much ground. The soph
omores. on the other hand, tore big
holes in tho yearling line, allowing
Gregory. Simmons, and Shaner to take
turns at romping through for longi
gains. Tho second year men scored in
the second and fourth quarters, the first
two tallies coming aftor long marches
Into the freshman territory and the
final touchdown coming as the result
of an intercepted forward.
••Mike" Palm ’24 wearing a pale pink
fire department shirt, and "Nowsh”
Bents ‘23 wore the official referee And
umpire of the game. They were re
lieved in the last quarter by Hufford
and Bedenk, the latter making a blghit
with the crowd by calling off the yards
to go In yards, feet, all the way down to
Inches.
Tho game began with Prevost kicking
off to Johnson on the twenty yard line.
The yearlings worked the bail to mid
field by three first downs but at this
point the sophomores held and O'Keefe
was forced to punt. Neither team was
able to gain and an interchange of
punts took place. At the end of the
quarter Hickmans received a punt on
his thirty yard line and from there the
sophomores carried the ball to midfield.
The sophomores continued their
march down the field in the second
quarter, Gregory carrying the ball for
big gains. With one yard to go for a
touchdown. Gregory dove over the line
for the first time and a few minutes
later kicked the goal. On Provost’s
kick-off, Johnson carried the ball back
to the thirty yard line. A beautiful
forward pass from Baker, who had tak
en O'Keefe's place, to Hlssom brought
the ball to midfield. In the next play
Baker broke through for ten yards and
another first down. At this critical
moment the frosh attack failed and the
second year men took the bail on downs.
The ball see*sawed back and forth in
midfield until the end of the half.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Facing what is undoubtedly one of the
stillest schedules arranged for a Blue
and \\ hlte basketball team in the past
few years, the Nittany tossers open the
present season Thursday night when
they oppose the five from Juniata Col
lege in the Armory at seven o’clock.'
" ith the supply of candidates that
Coach Hermann has on hand this fall
to train, the prospects are brighter than
last season when practically an entire
new team had to be built. There are
four veterans from last year, but one
will not bo able to play untit after the
football squad returns from the western
eoast, and with a strong veteran aggro-
Bation forming the Juniata team, the
Penn State quintet will not have easy
sailing in disposing of their first op
ponent.
The large squad ot candidates for the
varsity five have been in training for
nearly three weeks for the initial game
of the season, a majority being substi
tutes of excellent possibilities from last,
season as well as several promising soph
omores from the yearling squad the
past year.
Llne*np Undecided
At this time Coach Hermann ia still
unable to announce the Une-up which
will appear on the Armory floor Thurs
day night. Each night he has two
teams of the best of his candidates play
ing a regular game.
Of the candidates who are the strong
est bidders for first place positions
Thursday night, Captain Koehler ’23.
one of the most dependable guards of
last season la almost certain to retain
his position. At the other guard posi
tion, Loefiler ’24, n veteran guard from
last year. Is also very likely to start
the opening game. The position of
center is being the hardest fought for,
both Shnir *24 and Fixter *24 striving
for that berth. Shnir acted as varsity
center last year while Fixter was cen
ter for his freshman team. Filling tho
center forward positions is the hardest
problem for Coach Hermann, Heed *24
and .Wllson’24 .not being, able to play
until the completion of the football trip.
The choice of two men from the several
trying for the position is still doubtful.
Marshall *23. Gerhnrdt ’25. Sluckman
’25, Fatzinger ’2l. and Fell ’25 being tho
best.
Juntntn llns Veterans
When Juniata appears on tho floor
Thursday night it will be a team with
four veterans, three of whom are now
entering their fourth year of collegiate
basketball.- With such a supply of vet
eran and trained material. Juniata has
prospects for one of the best’basketball
'seasons 4n'its history.'
<• Tho'four veterans on the-Juniata
'quintet-- Are Oiler. Donaldson. Snyder,
and Wolfgang, all Of whom played here
last season. In addition to these, a
wealth of substitute material will also
be brought with the team.
The probable lineup which Juniata
will use against the Blue and White
aggregation will be almost the same as
last year. Donaldson. Slaughters, or
Conrad at forward: Havens or Giles
at center: Oiler, Snyder, Wolfgang, or
Sehlosser at guard.
PENN STATE ORCHESTRA
PLANS WINTER CONCERT
The college orchestra, under the di
rection of Bandmaster W. O. Thompson,
has been hard at work for the last few
.weeks preparing a number of selections
which they will present at one of th<-
Sundny afternoon concerts some tint*-
during the winter. These winter con
certs have become extremely popular
during the last few years and afford an
excellent opportunity to hear the best
in Penn Stato music.
The orchestra Is composed of twenty
violins, twenty-five second violins, and
all the necessary accompanying Instru
ments. Only high clai-s music is being
played this year and It Is evident that
a marked improvement is being shown
over the excellent performances of last
year.
No trips have as yet been planned for
the orchestra but It is almost a certain
ty that one or two journeys will be
made to nearby towns this year.
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY
