say "Hello" Get In College VOL. XIX, No. 7 PENN STATE WINS FOOTBALL OPENER Powerful Attack of Nittany Machine Crushes Lebanon Valley--Yinal Score Is 58-0 The NittanY Llon let loose a warning roar to future gridiron opponents when it trampled over the light Lebanon Val ley team In the opening game of the football season on Saturday. !The vis itors could not stay the power of the Penn State machine and at the end of the game the score stood 58 to 0. Intercepted forward passes were re sponsible to a. large extent for the big total that Penn State rolled up. Seven heaves were stopped by the Blue and White players and almost all of them led to touchdowns. "Bea" used three complete elevens against the visitor,. The first team played almost the entire second half and rolled up a total of thirty points. , During most of the third quarter the second team kept the field but had trouble in getting its offense started and failed to score. Toward the end of the third quarter "Bea" sent his first eleven back into the game. The "reg ulars" continued their good work, scor ing three more touchdowns until it was relieved by the third team who In the last quarter scored the final touchdown after a few minutes of play. The first team showed a strong punch that omens well for the success of the Nittany grid machine this year. The backfield worked more smoothly and with more precision than is usually the case so early In the season and the line was as Impregnable as the pioverbial stone wall to the plunges of the ormo salon. Lions Show Punch Mike Palm showed that he la fast ac puking the tricks that distinguished 11.1Ilinger's open field running. Twist ing and whirling his way through the Annville defense, the flashy quarter back was always an elusive target for would-be tacklers. Three of his long rues were directly responsible for touchdowns. Halfbacks Look Good Early accounts of Johnson's open .tleld, running were amply verified in Saturday's game and It looks as though the coaches have at last uncovered a man Who will make a fit running mate for Harry Wilson. The sophomore half back got away on several long runs With a splendid burst of speed that carried him past his tacklers. "Johnny" looked mighty good in Saturday's en counter and when he has acquired more finesse in running the ball he should develop into one of the most potent threats In the Nittany back field. Harry Wilson showed much of the same form that gained him so much recognition last year. Always quick on the start. Harry was continually press ing on the heels of • his interference And showed his old time knack of plow- Jog through the opposition for substan tial gains. Light, playing his first game at full back, showed up well on the defense. While he did not carry the ball as often ea the rest of the backfield men, he managed to make several substan- Ual gains and if he continues to im prove ea the season progresses, he should round into shape as a valuable backfield man. Line Works Well The Nittany line looked good espec 'ially on the defense. Bedenk, Michalski and Gray were a formidable combina tion. at the center of the line. Prevost showed up well on the defense, break ing through the opposing line and 'lopping a number of plays before they be fairly started. Schuster was ac came as usual with his toe, kicking da out of seven goals after touchdown and booting a nice placement from the Wear yard line.

McCollom '24 Marchioness Mary Ferguson '24 Three parts are being doubled so that all the trips will not fall on the entire cast In Its entirety. The system of doubling was found to be very effect ive last year when it was employed by Director Cloetingh In "A Successful Calamity." which ran for so many out of-town engagements. Looking over the review of the Player productions In which the pres ent cast has taken part. it Is found that a wealth of experience has been gained by the characters.

Navy Game Tick eta Will Be Distributed on Friday EIGHT TICKETS TO BE ALLOWED EACH STUDENT Alumni, and Student Sale Will Use Up All Seats—No General Sale Before the Game The athletic authorities have devised a new system for the distribution of tickets to the students for the Navy game on October twentieth. Under this system there will be no need for rush ing, for those who place their orders last have the same chance of getting the beat seats as the earliest applicants have. Order blanks for tickets for the Navy game will be given out to the students at the Treasurer's Office on Friday morning, October fifth, from eight thirty until twelve o'clock noon, from one-thirty until five o'clock and from seven until nine o'clock in the evening. and on Saturday morning, OctOber sixth, from eight-thirty until twelve o'clock noon. These'hours are the only time that the order blanks will be given out but there is no occasion for rushing, for, as was stated above, everyone will have an equal opportunity to get good seats. These blanks will be in the form of an envelope and will have a place on the outside for the student to fill out his order. Inside of the envelope will be an identification card which the stu dent will keep. The order blank enve lope, properly filled out, will be return ed by the student to the Treasurer's Office on Monday and Tuesday, October eighth and ninth during college hours, with the number five A. A. coupon and the money for extra tickets inside the envelope. Five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon is the last that these blanks will be received. On Thursday.

The seating capacity of the entire stands is barely seventeen thousand. A mail order sale has been conducted among the alumni and that sale, together with the student sale, will most likely use up all available seats and from present .indications there will be no general sale of tickets before the game. Holders of faculty A. A. books and season tickets will follow the same method as students In securing reserved seats. A committee, consisting of H. V. Bauder '24, E. E. Helm /4, It. E. Long acre '24 and H. H. Palm '24 will decide on the seating arrangement for the game. This seating arrangement will be announced in a later Issue of the COLLEGIAN. YEARLING GRID COACH TO CHOOSE FIRST TEAM Herman Still Seeks Best Combina- tion of Players—O'Connell Shows Up Well. The selection of a llrst team from the freshman Sootball squad is still an un settled question in the mind of Coach Herman. However, he will be reasonab ly sure of his choice by the end of this week. During the past week, the freshman mentor has made use of his former plan to teat out the different candidates for different positions on the team; shifting the men about from one place to another In an attempt to uncover any outstanding players. Little change has been made in the backfield, but this does not mean that the men now occupying backfield positions will hold them permanently. However, all men now on the first team are fighting bard to maintain their positions and in all probability many of them will stay. New Quarterback O'Connell, the new quarterback from Worcester Academy, is an addition to the team. He arrived late and did not have an opportunity to play last week but he is now trying out for quarter back. In practice last week, be made a ninety-five yard run for a to!ichdown. He is fast and rangy aid hafitt* the ball well. He is also good at drat) kicks and should prove a valuable man. The line-up as "Dutch" played it last Saturday was as follows: MoPhae L. E., Plain L. T., Fllack L. G., O'Dea C. Walsko R. G., Munz B. T., Palge R E. O'Connell Q. 8., Paulie L. H., Greene F. 8., Baker R. H. This selection does not mean that these men will play on the first team. Only two weeks remain before the first game on the freshman schedule takes place THESPIAN CONTEST GAINS IN INTEREST Handbills Are Distributed Stating in Detail Rules Governing 'Play Competition EXTENSIVE PLANS ARE MADE FOR ACTIVITIES Three seasons ago "King Pompom pus The First" was the Initial attempt of the Penn State Thespians to pro duce an original play. It was a splendid first effort and showed the possibilities of an entirely exclusive student show. It was written by Byron W. Knapp '2l who has again submitted a play In the present contest, and which promisee to measure up to the standard of his "King Pompompue." The Thespian organization, , which is beginning its twenty-seventh year this season, has already made extensive plans for its dramatic activities. Pres ident H. E. Schlosser has distributed hand bills to the student body at large which give in detail the rules govern ing the Thespian contest for an orig inal play, Much interest has been stimulated during the week and several students have expressed •their desire to submit a play In the contest. So far the re sponse to the call for original manu scripts has been gratifying, and the directors are confident that an origin al program will be forthcoming. Schlosser has ' been In recent . com munication with several professional dramatic directors, and in 'February be plans to bring to Penn State a pro fessional coach and dancing master who will assume complete charge of the production. Three road engagements have been contracted for and the booking man ager is confident that others will fol low. It is planned by the directors to make this year a banner year In the history of the Thespians.

Probably the most hard fought match in the opening round was the one in which Price defeated G. E. Beard '25 in straight sets, 8-6 and 8-6. Price, with "Pip" Koehler, comprised the Alpha Delta Sigma tennis team, in ter-fraternity net champions last year, and he will undoubtedly make a strong bid for a varsity berth this year. Although late in getting started, the freshman tournament is making consid erable headway this week and "Chief" Myers of the department of Physical Education and V. R. Reed '26, first as sistant tennis manager, who are in charge of the tournament, aro uncov ering some excellent yearling material.
