Bellefonte Academy’s football stal
warts subdued a Xitlany freshman
team for the first time in its history
Saturday when Captain Hood load h»*:
Prep champions to a 27-6 triumph
over the 1930 eleven on the Varsity
gridiron.
Coach Snnvcly’s lads drew first
blood in the middle of the first quar
ter by a straight onslaught of eighty
five yards. Williams scored and Clau
del kicked the after-point. A mo
ment later the plches scored when
Joe Miller snatched the ball from the
air after Bellefonte fumbled and sped
twenty-five yards for the touchdown,
but licod blocked McCracken’s place
kick.
Late in the third period Hood lug
ged the leather across for the first of
his three touchdowns. He juggled
the ball on the try for point kick and
it failed. At the opening of the final
canto he intercepted Ridgeway’s aer
ial lob and wormed forty-five yards
for the touchdown making the tally
20-6. A plunge through center nca«*
the end of the last quarter made the
final count 27-6.
Line Weak
At no time did the freshmen show
a drive powerful enough to crash
Bcllefonte’s line for in ore than two
consecutive down«s. Frequently the
line sagged, and the backs never
reached the line of scrimmage. The
County. Scat boys outweighed., the
plcbcs and outplayed them through
out the tilt. The Academy lines’
drive in the last two periods left no
doubt as to the outcome.
Full-back Hood’s line-plunging and
aerial passing along with his three
touchdowns made him the game’s lum
inary. It was thought at first thnt

Travel-worn Prodi
A lone traveler, dusty from his
long journey, weary from pacing
many tedious miles, footworn and
unkempt from the vagabond life he
had led for many months, straggled
into State College Sunday afternoon
about five o’clock. Longing for the
scene of his former hangout, Gra
ham's tobacco store, he set forth in
quest of it and was perplexed to find
the salivating odor of foods wafting
into the air instead of the pleasant
aroma of fresh tobaccos.
The store he sought was gone. The
faces he knew were just across the
street, although he could not seem to
realize it at first. With head hang

ENGINEERS TO HEAR
DR. STUMPF FRIDAY
Famous Gorman Inventor Will
Deliver First Lecture of
Scries for Seniors
SUBJECT, “TRAINING OF
TECHNICAL MEN ABROAD”
The first of the senior engineering
lectures will be given at four-thirty
o’clock on Friday afternoon in Old
Chapel by Dr. Johann Stumpf, noted
German engineer, who will discuss the
training of technical men in Germany.
He will also lecture to the A. S. M. E.
Thursday.
Dr. Stumpf is an outstanding fig
ure in the development of the steam
engine and an educator of prominence.
The Una-Flow steam engine, invent
ed and developed by Doctor Stumpf
some fifteen years ago, restored the
reciprocating steam engine to a po
sition of competition with the steam
turbine.
Doctor Stumpf will give an illus
trated, lecture before the. P,enn State
student branch of the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers on
some phase of Una-Flow engine de
velopment Thursday. One of the fea
tures of this talk will be a considera
tion of the effect of suction exhaust
on various types of prime movers, in
cluding the internal combustion en
gine.
Doctor Stumpf has been in the
United States for the past month on
business connections with American
builders of Una-flow engines and has
delayed the date of his return to Ger
many in order to make this visit to
Penn State.

In an attempt to arrange several

select the best novelty ami specialty
skits at eight-fifteen o’clock tonight in
the Auditorium. Candidates for the
freshman managerial staff will meet
at the same* time in the basement of
the Auditorium.
This announcement is a contradic
tion of a former notice which called
the meetings for reven o’clock. The
change became necessary because of
the inability to obtain the Auditorium
at an earlier hour.
Search For Talent
The ability shown by the candidat

large measure determine the persons
who will be given parts in “The Aztec
Maid,” the play that will be presented
on the annual road tour which will be
held during the Easter holidays.
La Vie Staff Begins

Preliminary details of the book have
been attended to and all work is pro
gressing according to schedule. A new
feature this year is the insertion of
the pictures of the heads of the dif

The Art staff has plenty of oppor

SPEED AND ACCURACY
With only a few more days to
finish the training of his hooters,
Coach Jeffries has decided upon the
probable line-up of the Penn Stato
soccer team which will oppose the
Altoona works combination here Sat
urday afternoon. He lias also been
able to estimate the strength of the
| soccermon against teams of the cal
ibre for which the Lion’s schedule
calls.
.The practice sessions during the
past week, especially the two con
tests with the freshman eleven, enab
led the soccer mentor to drill his men
in those parts of the game in which
they have been weak throughout pre
season training. Although the line
has been the weakest division, the
forward hooters have shown more ag
gressiveness and accuracy in passing
in recent scrimmages.
Captain Again Shifted
In the bnckfield, Coach Jeffries has
shifted Captain Lippincott from his
post at half-back to his old position
at full-back. With the exception of
Lippincott, Cherry and Bell the back
ficld is inexperienced as far as inter
collegiate competition is concerned.
However, the backs have shown great
ability to protect the goal and to drive
the ball into enemy territorry.

Student Chapel Cuts
To-Be Posted Weekly
The Executive Board of.the College
has taken steps which will enable each
student to know when he is in danger
of failing to pass chapel. Under the
new system cuts will be recorded cv*'
ery week.
Each student is allowed nine daily
and four Sunday cuts. When two
thirds of this quota has been taken, a
notice will be sent to the student, his
family and his dean. If the total
number of cuts is used up another
warning will be issued stating that
further unexcused absences will cause
a failure.
Excuses will not be counted until
the student has taken the total num
ber of cuts. Furthermore, the moni
tors have been instructed to take the
roll as soon ns chapel starts, thcroby
making lateness equivalent to a cut.

DEBATING CHANGE
Tells Harrisburg Forensic Men
That Subjects of Campus
Interest Are Needed
PENN STATE STUDENTS
TO TOUR NEW ENGLAND
A recommendation by Prof. J. H.
Frizzcl that the subjects of intercol
legiate debates be changed from mat
ters of politics to subjects pertaining
more directly to campus life was con
sidered by a convention of debating
coaches at Harrisburg Saturday.
The Penn State Forensic Council,
which Professor Frizzel represented,
was unanimous in declaring that the
formal propositions which have been
debated in the past years had tended
to suppress interest on the part of
the student body.
Schedule Being Arranged
From present indications, an un
usually extensive schedule will he for
mulated for the Penn State, debaters
this year.''"A contest with - George
Washington university is assured
while the annual triangular debate
with Pittsburgh university and Wash
ington and Jefferson university has
already been arranged.
Invitations to participate in intcr
sectional debates have been receive.!
from numerous western colleges and
universities but nothing definite has
been done. The Council plans to fea
ture this year's debating program
with a tour of the New England
slates.
A. S. Gorny ’27 was elected presi
dent of the Forensic Council for the
ensuing year and Gilbert Nurick '2B
was elected secretary. The finances
will be under the supervision of Prof.
J. 11. Frizzel who is the coach of the
debating t£am. Other members of
the council are: G. H. Palmer '27, E.

Mr. Horst, who is chairman of the
committee which investigated condi

of the service they have given the

“Due to the number of new prob

"For this reason the service of tho
