Graduate in ’B2, Re,
Looks Back on
Among those who arc interested
observers of the events and functions
of Fathers’ Day this year is John L.
Gans, managing editor of The Courier
Connellsville, Pa. In point of number
and variety of associations and tics
which bind Mr. Gans to Penn State,
he enjoys a distinction rare among
members of the “Pops.”
. He was himself a student in the
days before Penn State began to take
the forward steps which have steadily
advanced it to the position it now oc
cupies among the higher educational
institutons of Pennsylvana.' Ho is
father-in-law of a graduate of ’l4
Prof. J. Orvis Keller, head of the De
partment of Engineering Extension;
father of Mrs. Keller,' who as Miss
Mary Gans, was a member of the class
of ’l7; father of Miss Catherine H.
Gans, deceased, member of the class
of ’2O, and of Fred W. Gans, class of
'22. His daughter, Miss Jane F. Gans,
was some time clerk in the Registrar’s
office and his-youngest son, John L.
Gans, Jr., matriculated this year with
Co-eds’ Future Cheers
To Be Led by Own Sex
The spirit of womanhood suddenly
has broken out among the co-eds like
an epidemic of measles. When Mac-:
Allister Hall, Women’s Building,
Maple Lodge, Willard House, Stone
House and not to forget the town
girls, heard that Englishwomen had
asserted their independence this,week
by smoking the longest cheroots they
could find, they decided to take a few
steps forward 1 themselves.
Tho fight is on. Henceforth the
Armory section stands marked “girls”
will be no-man’s land. The co-eds
have decided to have their own cheer
leaders. They arc dead earnest a
bout it. If any one doubts this let
him pass by the Auditorium tonight
and every other Friday, night and he
will hear them yelling away under
tho leadership of Miss, L. R. Robert
son '27. Only co-eds are eligible.

Penn State in 1882
Speaking of Penn State as he knew
it as a freshman in 1882, Mr. Gans was
stirred to many reminiscences of that
earlier day. “Only those who have
been witnesses of the several stages
in Penn State's progress and the
changes time Ijath wrought,” he said,
“can comprehend the striking con
trasts between the institution forty
four years ago and today.
“In the fall of 1882, which marked
the advent of Dr. G. W. Atherton as
president, the building equipment of
Penn State consisted solely of Old
Main and a small frame structure
housing the pumping plant just off
the main entrance to the College
grounds. This well, through the res

Tuesday’s affair will be the second

the Lion freshmen will attempt to

field Saturday afternoon at one o’-
clock.
For the past three weeks Coach
Dutch Hermann’s pate-crackers havo
been conditioning, learning new plays,
and rehearsing signals—most of the
time in mud and rain. At times their
playing has been invincible while a
gain it has been ragged. Many com
binations, both in the backficld and in
the line, have showed Dutch the pos
sibilities of his men and he has defi
nitely decided upon the opening line
up with but one exception, the quar
terback post.
Quarter I’ost Undecided
Tommy Gettings, former Langley
flash, has been effectively driving the
p.lebe outfit at quarter but Johnny
McCracken, whose bruised shoulder

helm position Tuesday against tho

remarkable exhibition of leather tot

The line-smashing Craig will start

State’s grid eleven is literally on its
toes and waiting for tho appearance
of the Marietta warriors, who will
furnish the opposition in tomorrow’s
tilt for the edification of the Fathers
on New Beaver Field.
Coach Bczdek expects to start his
former reserve hackfiehl against the
Ohioans. The quartet flashed a bril
liant brand of football in the Lebanon
Valley fray and have supplanted itho
regulars during the week.
Pincura, veteran signal shooter,
will direct Bill Pritchard, fullback, and
llamas and Wolff, halfbacks.. The
Blue and White pilot has snapped bis
team through drills with precision ami
dispatch, and much is expeoted of

them even more effective, while Prit

Although little is known concerning

squail struggled through an endless
quagmire in an effort to reach the
goal of perfection.
Pincura and Faulkner sent up long
spirals in spite of the weight of the
soggy leather, while Wolff and Pin
paired off with Lungren and Harring

Terminals were in demand to gather
in long, reverse, basketball, screen and
triple passes.
Larry Conover and Ncwsh Bcnlz

all the principles of charging, inter
