Oilice• Nittany Printing and Publishing Co Building Member et Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1923 A RECORD-BREAKING TEAM The game on New Beaver Field last Saturday afternoon between Lehigh and Penn State marked the close of another successful sea son for the Blue and White booters. Five consecutive seasons without a single defeat breaks all records for a Penn State team and is a performance that compares favorably with similar accomplishments of the greatest athletic combinations in the history of other institu tions It is a record of which the Nittany soccer men may well feel proud Nor is this enviable success the result of a series of easy sched ules arranged for a purpose Each year a formidable list of oppon ents has been compiled, and each year fear has been entertained for the succcssful completion of the schedule. For the road these doughty boaters have travelled has not been an easy one. A new and, in same cases, untried coach with the advent of each season is not gen erally recognized as conducive to record-breaking results. But an abundance of determination and fighting spirit has made up for a lack of skill and this alone, in many cases, has carried them on to ),ictory It was rumored at the beginning of the season that the Athletic Association would make an effort to secure a game with the leader: of the Intercollegiate Soccer League. The league includes teams front Penn, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and Cornell and this year, by virtue ottrictories achieved, the University of Pennsylvania lays claim to the intercollegiate championship of the East. It is believed that Penn State would receive no little amount of prestige if a challenge of this nature should be accepted and a game arranged with the duly recognized leaders of the league. 'Then, in the event of a victory, some small amount of well-deserved recog nition might he accorded the Nittany team which, unheralded and unsung, continues to hang up records year by year with little more than a transient feeling of self-satisfaction to reward them for their efforts AN APPRECIATION A note-worthy change in one of _the policies of the college ad ministration was effected this fall and now that several months have elapsed since its institution, time can be taken to stop and study the influence of such a deviation. Reference is made to the in stallation of the office of College Chaplain and his direction over the duly chapel exercises It is but a short time since the student body was clamoring for the abolition of chapel exercises and a great amount of agitation was on foot with that end in view. It is true, no doubt, that much of it at the time, was due to the fact that many individuals saw a chance to use the sentiment and agitation of a few to benefit them selves, hoping, thereby, to obtain a few minutes more sleep in the morning. But the greater amount of adverse feeling directed to. ward chapel was the result of a sincere belief that the morning de votional period of a few minutes had lost its original purpose and aim in the fact that it operated under compulsion and that the stu dent 'Wending gained nothing of value under those conditions. Although the administration and trustees did not see fit to abolish the devotional exercise, they did change it to a great extent by be stowing upon Dr l'raser Metzger the position of College Chaplain Since that time, Dr Metzger has created a change in the atmosphere of chapel While still under compulsion, the student body has been quick to sense the change and numerous are the remarks constantly heard in appreciation of the new conditions A man now goes to chapel with the knowledge that he will take away a valuable thought And, furthermore, the service rendered by Chaplain Metzger, other than that incident to conducting chapel exercises, as counselor and friend to the students, is something for which the undergraduates can he and are thankful For a student can find few friends such as Chap lain Metzger has proved himself capable of being. A PECULIAR WORLD This is, indeed, a peculiar world It is not so much the world that is odd but the people who inhabit it Why is it that people, col lege men and women in particular, will live an entire year, without any other worry than the outcome of classes, in good health, amid pleas ing surroundings, enjoying a multitude of friends, spending much and saving little, and yet with all these blessings, when an oppor tunity presents itself to give some much needed support to a worthy and valuable cause, they pull in their heads and become as responsive and approachable as a turtle? One of the most outstanding, noticeable conditions of this nature is to be observed at this time of year when the Christmas Stamps are put on sale for the benefit of the society controlling tuberculosis welfare work. True, there are numerous students who think twice and are duly generous. The real trouble lies in the fact that so many undergraduates fail to look far enough ahead and witness the good this society is doing, thinking that they have done their duty when they buy Christmas Stamps in proportion to their correspond ence. Students must be taught to think, not of buying so many stamps, but of aiding an organization that has put forth a heroic fight and now has victory nearly within reach.
