“Daddy” Groff Gives Plan
for Use of Contributions
Penn State’s Aid for Canton Christian
College Should Be Used for
Extension, Is Proposal
A plun whcieby the contubutions[
from Sunday chapel would be used
to inaugurate a new phase in the
work of the Canton Christian college,
was submitted by “Daddy” Groff,
dean of agriculture of that institu-
tion, at a joint conference with a
special committee representing Stu
dent Council, Monday night.
In outlining this pioposal, Groff
based his recommendations on the
fact that our monetary aid to tho
agricultural department of the Can
ton Christian college had assumed
lather insignificant proportions when
contrasted w ith the enormous con
tributions from the Chinese govern
ment and the International Boaid of
Education
Lauds Penn State
He lauded Penn State for making
the establishment of the agricultural
school possible and as proof of the
success of that dcpaitmcnt, he enu
merated the appiopriations from
rational and international sources.
“Daddy” Groff emphasized the
need for an extension department and
said he believed Penn State
could accomplish much more for
“Penn State’s Child m the Orient”
by transferring its contribution to a
fund which will be used to start such
r department
Predicts Success
He predicted that a success similar
to that of the agricultural school
will be forthcoming for this new
phase of administration at Canton
nftei its accomplishments lud secured
lecognition fiom the Chinese govern
ment
Tins plan will be submitted to the
student body duimg chapel seivicc
According to Mr. Giolt, such a move
will increase the prestige and promi
nence .of Penn-State in-foreign lands,

Handicapped by injuries and fac
ing a strong Lehigh team that threat

consecutive victories, the Nittany
hooters will clash with the Brown

With Captain Raymond Gil suffer
ing from an infected foot, Jay Eisen
huth out of the game with a

Schwartz's injury will make it im
possible for him to play, Coach Ralph

the prospects for a victory.
Lehigh Strong
With a veteran team primed for
the clash tomoirow, optimism reigns
in the Lehigh camp as the game ap
proaches Over forty candidates
have been fighting hard for berths on
the Brown and White eleven and the
team that will face the Lions tomoi
rovr has suffered a minimum of in
juries
In an effort to bolster up the Lion
offensive Coach Ralph Leonard has
stressed passing and goal-shooting
in the last few practices preceding
the game. With two veterans miss
ing from the lmeup, the foi wards are
showing a lack of experience which
may be fatal to the Nittany chances
of victory.
Team Selected
The forward line that will clash
with the Bethlehem aggregation to
