TO LATE LION RALLY
Varsity Gridmen Show Punch to Humble
Opponents 13-o—Michalske, House,
Mahoney and Slamp Star
Staging a belated rally m the sec-[
oml half after being held scoreless
during the first two periods, the Penn
State giidiron combination drew
upon icserve strength to defeat;
Franklin and Marshall on New Bea
ver Field Satuulay by a score of
13-0.
Slamp, left end, went over for the
first Nittany six-pointer when he
blocked Stehman’s punt on the lat
ter's 8-yard line, fell on the oval and
rolled across the line for a score a
few minutes after the third quarter
had begun The pass from center
for the try-for-pomt was fumbled
and Ilelbig missed an opportunity to
tally an extia counter.
A forty-fi\ e-yard drive down the
field after House had intercepted a
forward pass accounted for the final
touchdown, Pincura diving under the
F and M. forward line foi the score.
Dangerfield, who was injected into
the battle to leplacc Helbig, booted
the pigskin squat cly over the up
ught foi the goal-after-touchdown
Team Displays Latent Power
Although the ball was in the pos
session of the Nittany team most of
the initial period, the numerous ex
changes of punts gained ground for
the visitois and kept the oval see
sawing mound midfield Shortly
after the teams had changed goals,
the Lions took the ball on their op
ponents’ 45-yaids and started a
steady march down the field, tallying
three first downs in rapid succes
sion
With the ball on the 7-yards and
the goal to gain, a penalty of 15 yards
for holding was imposed upon the
Nittany eleven A pass, Pincura to
"W ilson, netted seven yards and gams
by Pritchard and Pincura brought
the ball again within scoring dis
tance. Pritchnid essayed a field goal,
but the ball was blocked and recov
ered bv one of Maysci’s pioteges on
his own 10-yard mark. An exchange
qC. punts .took J:he-haU~backu.tci.,ihe
F and M G-yards when the half
ended.
Score by Blocked Punt
As the whistle foi the second half
sounded, Stehman kicked off to Ilel
big on Penn State’s 10-yards, the
Nittany back returning the oval to
the 47-y awls, a dash of approximate
ly 32 \aids Throe bucks at the line
}ielded but five \nids and Pincura
was foi cod to punt Childs, the Lan
caster safetv-man, lcceived the ball
on lus 12-yauls, only to be dropped
in his ti neks by Michalske, acting
captain foi the Lions, in the hardest
tackle of the fray
Stehman lost a vard at loft tackle,
Lehman crashing the line foi a small
gam on the next plav. Stehman
dropped back to punt and the ball
was knocked down by Slamp. who
fell on it and rolled acioss the last
chalk-mark for the initial touch
down. Stamps s>telling woik at the
wing position brought him into

MINING SCHOOL LIBRARY
RATED MOST COMPLETE
The library, operated in connection
with the School of Mines, is one of
the most complete in the College. It
was founded in 1896, at the same
time that the School of Mines was
established. At the present time
there arc about eight hundred and
fifty volumes in the library, a num
ber of them being duplicates of
books in the Carnegie Library. This
duplication is caused by the fact that
the library in the Mining Building is
the Mining Building is meant* to be
u reference library; and therefore du
plicate copies are necessary. The
library at the present time also re
ceives about twenty-five periodicals.
It has complete files, to date, of both
the Government Geological Survey
publications and the United States
Bureau of Mines publications.

With the leturn to College of all

exceptional season are becoming
brighter. Many capable performers
from the present sophomore class will
be available for Varsity competition
this year, rounding out a well-bal

Although some good matciial may
be unearthed later, the team will be
theoictically weak in the pole vault,
shot and half-mile events. Durbur
row and Montgomery, two dependable
vaulters, are lost to the team by
graduation, leaving Page and Bates
the most outstanding #performeis.
Football men will piobably be called
upon to take care of the shot, while
Nate will develop a half milor fiom

Coach Cartmell will be well forti

last ycat’s yearling team, are working
out daily. Torrence is faster on the

Wayward Yearlings Enlightened as to
True Color of Black in Tribunal Court
With sober and impartial j'ustice
as its keynote, the Student Tribunal
held its first real conclave at a mo
ment’s notice last Thursday night,
and judging by the vehement popu
lar acclaim of its decisions, the new
Tubunal will be busier than it has
been m’ the last few years.
While no haircuts sanctified the
ceremony, the strenuous vocal at
tempts of the eleven freshmen sin
ners did much to add dignity to the
occasion. Only one thing was lack
ing, and that was harmony
Gravest and Saddest
The gravest case of the evening
was that of Sam Wills; the saddest
was that of John Rapino. The lat
ter, in spite of one semester of cuc
toms last year, was densely ignorant
of all the college songs and cheers.
Furthermore, besides his freshness,
his singing was so execrable and so
lacking in feeling that his immediate
execution seemed painfully neces
sary. Calmer spirits unfortunately
prevailed, and lor the next two
weeks Rapino will wear a sign with
the words “Am I fresh 7 Just ask
me.”
As to Samuel Wills, that erring
yearling, after being graciously in
vited to perform his death defying
cigarette trick, evaded the issue, say

etnoon "It amounts to ‘•ometlunr
to belong to an institution like tins,”
declared the Go\ernor, after the
lousing inception which faceted him
upon his first visit to the Nitlany
\ alley since his election
"Before I was elected to the govoi
noiship of Pennsylvania, he contin
ued, there was a report cnculated
that if I were elected, Penn State
College would be mo\ed from the
Nittnny Valiev to some olhei place”
Emphatically he exclaimed, "Vou
are still hcie. Sumkuly, there u
nothing to the report that I wrote a
lettei to the Board of Ti ustoc, of
this institution urging that it become
solely an ngucultural college,” he
stated
“I have shaken hands w ith the

the spirit of this place. But it is too
high, too valuable to have the future
endangered by being put into poli

or con Politics has no business on
the campus of Penn State” Tins
statement was followed bv an en
thusiastic applause from the stu
dents, expressing their belief in thu
theoiy.
Strong Political Convictions
However, he went on to sav “Un
does not mean that there should not
be political convictions, sliong polit
ical convictions in the indnidii.il
minds of the students It does not
mcim that there should be no polit
ical clubs or oigamzations among

His concluding lemaiks in bnel
were as follows:
