CHECK WRITING COURSE
NEEDED, SAYS YOUGEL
Police Chief Tracks Several
Bad Looking Notes-—Finds
Them Unintentional
“Students should learn to write
checks,” bitterly declared Chief of
police Yougel yesterday after track
ing several bogus looking checks to
earth. 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.
Mandolin Club To Hold
First Practice Monday
The Mandolin Club will hold its first
rehearsal Monday night at seven o’-
clock in the Band room.. All regu
lars are requested to be present. Be
sides the rehearsal, additional tryouts
will be conducted for those freshmen
or new upperclassmen who . did not
report last Tuesday.

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

though the seven van-men are lighter
than usual, the' left side of the line
will not notice it with Koziki and

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.”

ANNOUNCEPROGRAM
FOR FATHERS’ DAY
Students Urged To Have Dads
Visit College—Meeting
Set Friday Night
SMOKERS AND FOOTBALL
GAME LISTED SATURDAY
For the benefit of Penn State dads
on October eighth and ninth, the first
time such an occasion will have been
held in the fall, a Father’s Day com
j mittee, headed by G. 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.

HARRIERS RUN SIX-MILE
COURSE ON GOLF LINKS
Prepare for First Match with
Syracuse—Cartmcll Will
Time Men Tomorrow *
Coach Nate Cartmcll, spurred on
by the best chance in years to annex
the intercollegiate cross-country
crown, lias begun to put his proteges
through a long grind that may lead
them down the cinder path to a vic
tory over Syracuse, the champions,
here on October twenty-third, and
to the IC4A laurels November sec
ond at New York.
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.
