GRIDIRON WARRIORS TO THE FORE
Intercollegiate football, despite the jibes and denials of the ab
solutely academic-minded, is a great and moving factor in college
e \perience, the one greatest welder of undergraduate and alumni
loyalties to the college It is not the only one, not the highest one,
but the one that finds the readiest response.
Never was this truth brought home more forcibly than in the
Alumni Day encounter between the Navy and Penn State. The mole
skin-clad warrior reigned supreme The doughty followers of the
pigskin occupied the center of the stage. And so it should have been
For it was the event of the greatest football classic ever staged on
New Beaver Field.
The result of the game, the clean-cut victory gained by the Nit
tany team, the good sportsmanship of the Navy in defeat, the splen
did work of the greatest half-back in the aountry, a Penn State man,
—all have gone down in the annals of college history. Coach Bez
dek and his staff and the entire college with all its friends may well
be proud of the gridiron team that is wearing the Blue and White
colors this year Imbued with a spirit of cooperation, working with
the definite aim of conquering all foes to the glory of Penn Skate,
and radiating that spirit of loyalty which acknowledges no superior,
the Nittany Lions form a combination worthy of all the respect and
admiration accorded it
Half of the season's schedule has been completed, but the last
and hardest part remains. It is a championship team that cart emerge
victorious in the five major games yet to be played.- Success is an
erratic element in this sport that is kindred to Fate.
But Penn State has confidence in the 'abilities of the, men se
lected to uphold her honor on the gridiron. She wishes them the
best of luck in the remaining encounters, knowing that win or lost
they will have given their best for their Alma Mat'er.
A PAGE OF HISTORY
The event of the fourth annual Alumni Day at Penn State has
come and gone the old grads have been here and are now back in
the mazes of the world's industry. But the memory of a glorious ,
week-end remains to add a glowing page to the coldilitChis'tory of
the Mutiny valley.
That benefits of a more or less permanent nature have accrued
to the alumni, to the undergraduates, and to their Alma
_Mater from
the week-end reunion is not to be denied. The graduate will be able
to return to the many perplexing problems of life with reneWed and
youthful vigor as a result of his visit to Penn State, his association
with the students of today, and his participation iii 'the celebration
incident to this annual affair which helps to make it one of the most
popular events on the Penn State calendar. In the eyes of the old
timer, the proverbial fountain of youth takes shape - on the Nittany
campus
On the other hand, the undergraduate has gained, to a greater
extent, a realization of the worthiness of the college and the love
which a student holds for the institution where he has been trained;
he has seen an impressive example of the old time spirit of which
he has heard so much and which he is trying to uphold; he has ex
perienced that indefinable feeling of good fellowship which prevails
when Penn State men meet.
The benefits accruing to the college itself are but reflections of
the benefits derived by the alumni and undergraduates. For, in pro
portion as her sons and daughters, both past and present, grow and
develop, so will Penn State herself expand.
Alumni Day can no longer be classed in the category of mere
social events It is a necessity, a fixture on Penn State's calendar.
TAKE IiEED I
it is a custom at Penn State, as at similar institutions of learning,
for undergraduates to manifest their loyalty to the college' and the
football team by following the gridiron warriors on their jaunts frtim
home and encouraging them with cheers and yells on foreign fields.
It is a commendable custom, and the undergraduates are 'to be con
gratulated for the loyalty they show.
But this statement must be qualified to some extent. Each year
the first semester witnesses a deluge of below grades, as'sued from
the college administrative offices, which fall promiscuously on
season members of all undergraduate classes. Each year the football season
comes in for a share of the blame and is seldom defended.
It is admitted that, during the course of the first semester,
many students are absent from Friday and Saturday morning
classes. If this is the determining factor, as no doubt it is in
the case of many, then the student is to be blamed and can be
accused of losing sight of thd primary purpose of attending
college.
True, there are some who Can afford to see the games far
away from the home field 'during the season. But it is
equally true that others can not afford it. It is a' problem for
each individual student And it is a matter for sane consid-

THREE'BEST - HOURS
(MICIIIOAN DAILY)
Recently a professor. viewing the
question of how many tours of study
city yield the greatest rate or re
turns per hour of application, - basing
his decision upon statistics taken in
Industrial fields, where the - most ef
ficient number of hours for a work
ing day was being sought, made the
statement that in his opinion the aver
age student who spent three hours
each day in good consistent study
might easily make Phi Beta-ICappa or
any other honorary scholastic aoclety
Three hours a day anent in real study
I afforded the maximum return per hour
of application, and seas sufficient to
08010 tile average sjpdent creditable
grades and a satisfactory college oda-
I cation, In his opinion
Undoubtedly the law of diminish
', ins returns does apply to studying
and there is a point after which al-
I though ono continues to learn the
earning is lees rapid and the pro rata
return less And there hi no question
I but that the percentage of return from
too little studying Is less Chan had a
little bit more time been spent there
m Bence there is a point in the scale
of hours of study at which the student
elle be most efficient In hie - work, and
if that point is faithfully adhered to
he may feel the eatlefaction of knowing
that he is getting the most out of his
efforts in college The three hour per
iod ee the unit of greatest return. if
I based upon statistics applicable to
etudying, and a daily three hour portal
of consistent study ought to insure for
the student a satisfactory return for
his leans spent in the univerelty
But ouch a schedule if faithfully
car-',
rled out means the formation of a reg
ular time of /studying, an apportion
ment of the day's program Into regular
study periods and the formation of a
habit of studying at these periods
There Is some satisfaction In know
ing that one is receiving the most re
turns from his time of application
And if the idea of a three hour period
as sufficient /studying time holds true
the student who sets swide the three
hours for uninterrupted study will gain
the greater satisfaction of knowing that
rho may spend the rest of the day in
any manner he mseichoose, feeling that
,his Unly malty work is not being neg
lected.

enrolled in the course and that number
