The chief feels that he has teen cheated of his prey. When one discovers twenty or more suspicious looking blanks and does considerable unravelling only to find out that they are the handiwork of twenty or more harmless students, one’s feelings are apt to be outraged. The chief feels wounded. ' “They can buy chapel seats and skirmish lines and oil wells”—the chief referred somewhat pointedly to Penn State's radio station —“but why freshman can’t write a check the way checks are meant to be written, beats me. One freshman made out a check to himself, signed it and endorsed it. Another made one out in pencil, an other dated it 1927. The College ought to give a course in check writ ing. It seems to be a lost art.” ' The chief was quite candid about it. Something should be done. Senate Makes Senior Exam Ruling Clear A new interpretation of the rule that no examinations will be sched uled for seniors during the second semester was made at the College Senate meeting last Thursday. According to this version a senior graduating at the end of the first semester and any student rating as a senior, but having no chance of re ceiving his diploma will be required to take finals. On the other hand, graduating seniors who arc taking subjects regularly scheduled for mem bers of the three lower classes will be excused from examinations in those subjects.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. 1926 FRESHMAN ELEVEN MAKES FIRST REAL DISPLAY OF POWER New Quarterback Revives Plebe Team—Linesmen, Backs Work Smoothly BELLEFONTE TO RELY UPON EIGHT VETERANS Opening Game With Blue and Gold To Be Trying Start for Cubs A new quarterback has made Coach Dutch Hermann’s freshman football team an inspired crew of pate-crack ers. Last week the yearlings were eleven individuals. For the last three days the eleven leather-toters work ed like one individual. But despite the discovery of Get tings, snappy Langley quarterback, the chances of toppling Bellefonte Academy when the Prep school cham pions open the plebc’s season here are slim. Bellefonte Again Strong With eight veterans of last year’s eleven again available Coach Snavcly, of Bellefonte, is whipping a combin ation into shape that will uphold the County Seat boys’ record of but two defeats in the last three years. Five veteran substitutes are also report ing along with excellent new mater ial, including Meredith Douglass, who spent last year at Penn State. Foremost among the undefeated moleskinners is Captain Franklin Hood, only Bellefonte two-time lead er. Josh Williams, one of the best halfs to represent the Blue and Gold and Albert Gaudet whose general ship last year was excellent arc priming to steam-roller the Nittany freshmen. Intensive. Work Begins For the three vacancies left by graduation, Coach Snavely is groom ing as center, Daugherty, substitute fullback last year. Pflaum and Fliz ac will take positions in the line.

WARNOCK EXPLAINS STUDENT CAR RULE Dean of Men Gives Reason for Strict Enforcement of Automobile Ban SAYS OWNERS ABUSED ! PRIVILEGES LAST YEAR Regarding the general disfavor which greeted the College ban on au tomobiles, Mr. A. R. Warnock, Dean of Men has issued the following state ment: “Many students have been trying to uncover reasons- for the stricter policy in the application of the stu dent auotomible rule. A few have hinted, humorously no doubt, that lo cal taxi and garage interests were moving in the background. “Two years of -liberal application of the rule have proved that this is a rule that must be evenly enforced to be effective, bast year many permits were issued in seemingly deserving cases. The result was that in a ma jority of cases holders of these per mits abused their privileges and many other students, resenting apparent favoritism, kept cars here without permits. In short,; student car own ers themselves demonstrated the weakness of a liberp f *.policy. - “The rule and. is.'be; ing adopted by an increasingly large number of colleges. For this com munity it is a necessary rule. The presence of four or five hundred stu dent cars in daily use on the streets would be a menace to safety and comfort in this small town. "I believe its application to all cases, evenly is the only defensible and the only fair policy.” — Who’s Dancing ._ _ ; Friday Beta Lambda Sigma Tau Kappa Epsilon Theta Chi Saturday Omega Epsilon Phi Kappa Sigma Sigma Chi PARMI NOUS ELECTIONS 3.

M. Harris ’27, | lias announced a tentative program for entertainment. In past years Father’s Day has brought great numbers of parents to Penn. State. for ing and entertainment. Since ’the date this year has been changed from spring to fall, in order to include a football game, the committee believes that the number of dads will be larg er than in previous years. It also urges the freshmen particularly to arrange with their fathers to visit the College and become better ac quainted with it. Prominent Speakers The program opens with a mass meeting in the Auditorium on Friday evening, October eighth. At this ga thering the parents will hear talks by Hugo Bezdek, football coach, Judge H. W. Mitchell and E. E. Hewitt, Sr., president of the Fathers’ association. It is also possible that Charles Schwab will address the meeting. The Band and Glee Club will offer musical num bers. On Saturday morning the Fathers’ association wil hold its regular meet ing-in the Auditorium to conduct business and will hear a program to be prepared by the College. The big treat for the dads will be the gridiron struggle with Marietta on Saturday afternoon. Visiting mothers will be entertained at tea in the Woman's building at three o’clock the same af ternoon. Penn State girls will entertain their fathers at dinner in McAllister hall on Saturday evening. After dinner an all-College smoker wil be held in the Armory; wrestling, boxing and music being on the program. Smok ers have also been arranged at num erous fraternity bouses. Twelve Cheerleaders Report; Begin Practice Although only twelve men answered the first call for sophomore cheer leaders, Head-cheerleader Buck is con fident that he has found a capable crew. Practice is held every even ing and any sophomores who would like to try out for the squad should report to the Armory. In conjunction with the cheering squad, the entire sophomore class will form an S between halves at the Sus quehanna game tomorrow. Concrete Tennis Court Built on Beaver Field Designed for the use of the varsity tennis team during the inclement spring weather, and for winter skat ing, the Department of Physical Edu cation has built a concrete tennis court adjacent to New Beaver field. Dr. Ham’s teams have been handicap ped during past years because of the lack of a place to practice in the early spring. In constructing the tennis court, provisions were made for ice I skating. Hard-hearted Susque- Hanna PRICE FIVE CENTS Hardened to perfect condition by the rigors of a month of intensive training, Coach Hugoßezdek’svarsUy squad is on edge for its opening clash of the season with Susquehanna uni versity on New Beaver Field at two thirty o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Last-minute injuries indicate that several new faces will be included in the starting line-up. Captain Ken Weston, star end, twsted his knee severely in a practice tilt last Sat urday and will view the game from the bench. Slamp, veteran wingman, is also definitely out with a twisted knee, while Delp, another first-string end, is suffering pulled ligaments in his left ankle. Bergman, revamped full back who was expected to start at a tackle post, may he on the sidelines with an injured thumb. Coaches Polish Offense Bent on perfecting the details of their offensive plays, Coaches Bez dek, Conover and Bcntz sent the en tire squad through blackboard drills and lecture periods during the earlier * pat of the week. The afterncon scimmages were devoted to execution of the theories expounded in the class-room. ISystematikally -ilhe varsity went through its entire repertoire, with the coaches carefully polishing the rough spots until on the eve of their initial battle of the season the Lion grldders arc in a receptive mood for victory. Varsity Lino-up The wing posts left open by injur ies to Captain Weston and Slamp will be held down by A 1 Lesk-j, burlyjun-' ior, and Cy Faulkner. Cy’s long spi ral punts in practice have earned him his spurs ns the best kicker on the Lion squad, and he will probably do the booting tomorrow. Grccnshields, after a week of en forced idleness, is back in harness and will play tackle with Bergman or Munz as his running mate. Krall and Hastings are powerful guards and will flank Mahoney at center.

For the past week the Varsity, bol stered by last year's fast-stepping freshmen, has geen going over the entire journey of six miles around the golf course. Although the clocks do not yet reveal the strength of the Lions, Bill Cox, sophomore, Harvey Stewart, Captain Fouracre, Offcn hauser and Reis are setting a fast pace. Another sophomore of prom ise is Wild, who has just reported to Nate. Cox Favored To get the first inkling of their real power Coach Cartmcll will send them the entire distance tomorrow immediately following the Varsity grid encounter with Susquehanna. Indications are that Cox will lead the hill-and-dalers to the tape with the other men following in the order nam ed before, but Cartmelljs hoping to find other championship’ material as well. When Blondy Romig won the only individual championship in 1920, Penn State took fourth place in the Intcr collegiates with 130 points. Before that the team finished tenth in 1913 and eleventh in 1916, the only, two attempts in the six years period. Since 1920 the Blue and White bear ers have placed near the top. Since 1922, when the Lions took tenth position, they have advanced a notch each year. It was sixth place ir. 1923, not entered in 1924, and fifth laurels in 3925. With last year’s veterans again swinging into form only time will show Penn State’s place in this year’s classic.
