News Editor This Issue— TUESDAY, OCTOBER 32, H)2G “DON’T SAY THEM WORDS, ALOYSIUS” “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, oil'llt, j nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen—ah.” Almost fifteen, but lie started two steps ahead of us. Ain’t it a gr-r-rand and gl-l-l-orious feeling to hoar the fellows in the stands count when they see the ball being taken back for a penalty? Don’t you just feel like waving a handkerchief at the sweet voiced mathematicians when they accompany the referee’s feet with their tonal vibrations? We’ll bet Dad counted with you, too. Who’s refereeing the game, anyway? Well, the unsullied goal line is a myth of the dim past, brethren. Marietta sneaked a six-point er over on us. In the last couple of minutes, too. Ain’t it a crime and a shame, though ? How did it happen? Why did it happen? You saw it, didn’t you, and why should you- ask ? Or say a single word? They scored and that’s that. ,We’d have had to experience the same empty feeling sometime, wouldn’t we? The team’s good : —granted—but look what’s.coming on later.! Notre Dame, George Washington, Penn, Pitt, Buck nell, Syracuse? And if you think these teams arc| all going to be blanked by Penn State, you’re] hoping for miracles. And besides, what encouragement do the sec-1 and and third elevens get other than breaking into j a game now and then —a game that is already won and 'which couldn’t be lost if the other bunch played by themselves? And look at the poor lit tle opposition—they have to get some joy out of life! And their biggest joy of the season might be scoring on Penn State’s third team! We’ll wager the Marietta Glee Club sang the Marietta “victory song” long, long into the night. Then, too, the odds will be larger on the Notre Dame game! A SHORT ORDER OF HORSE-SENSE * Do you know much about the similarity in the training of colts and the training of men? If you don’t, ariighten yourself. . •;' Colts used to be “broken,” you -know,. Now they are: “ii” hied.” . Time was when a colt was furiously lashed by his master when he had acted against his owner’s wishes; nowadays, the lash is a reminder only. A little story presents itself. “I remember,” said the communicative soul, “that when I was a little chap, I was riding one day with my father. He let the reins droop slight ly and the colt pulling the buggy began to galli-, vant about quite a bit. Father let him go for awhile, and then he administered a few cuts with the whip—a lash or two on the belly. “That act grieved me immensely. The colt was one I loved—-I had been present when he was brought into this world, and he had been my fav orite ever since. I made a wry face, and asked dad: ‘Why do you do that? The colt won’t hurt anybody or anything. He’s only a little frisky.’ “Dad looked at me and kindly said: ‘I don’t mean to hurt him. But he’s not fully trained yet —and I simply want to attract his attention.’. And right away, I saw exactly what dad meant.” College students frisk a but now and then. And if the reins that guide them—not drive them —are relaxed for a moment, their, friskiness is likely to bring about a few cuts of. the whip to attract attention. But if they are lashed contin ually—if they are whipped to submissiveness— they are conquered in soul and body. Conse quently, their spirit is broken. But if their good will is gained by.reminding them that they have obligations which they must fulfil,, then they be come trained—not broken—and their spirit is the spirit that breeds self-reliance and honor. “The Bullosopher’s Chair” I MAKE MY BOW Mr. Smithers, call in the boys! A*fter that introduc tion by the editor last Friday, I think it is about time for a session. There arc a lot of things to talk about, and here I go. j observe, Mr. Smithers, that there is no hetier soda-, tir e for the chronic disturbances of a healthy student body than an intelligent bull session. These men around here aren’t afraid to face the facts, if they realize what the facts are. And I hope, Mr. Smithers, to call to the at tention of my friends a number of these facts which here tofore have been ignored. There are a host of things which will bear discussion. There are also a large number of items which, in their present status, will not bear much discussion without a consequent housecleaning. And I am particularly interested in the latter. - President Vice-President Treasurer I observe, too, Mr. Smithers, that a sedative in itself for irritable disorders is not sufficient. Invariably, it must be followed by a tonic. And that is our universal ne glect. Wc do not attempt to follow our housecleaning with constructive arrangement. In other words, these college j lads are very apt to follow their noses in many respects. Their attention is upon the immediate object—letting, the ‘future take care of itself. They don't think; they don't observe. Editor-in-Chiuf Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women's Editor I!. Kaplan ’2B P. P. Smalt*/. '2B Mr. Smithers, I wish that to be the strength of this space so kindly allotted by the editor. Sore spots should he discovered; but more—they should be healed. And that healing process demands that we get our minds away from our ills once in awhile. A world of beauty, or a world of filth. A life complex, or a life wisely simple? Observations. « Business .Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager ! repeat, Mr. Smithers—observations arc important. Call in the boys; I want to get acquainted! K. B. Kilborn '2- W. .I. .McLaughlin ’23 SESSION ONE Say, you Smithers, what’s happened to the “Y”? The Praying Band ain't as much in the public eye as it was. Blood seems to be turned red. Honest, I saw a couple of the Chryslers smoking the other day. Looks like they’re getting human. Think you ami I might go to the Hut and get acquainted? “For nonconformity the world whips you with its dis pleasure. And therefore a man must know how to esti mate a sour face.” SESSION TWO “Listen, you all-collich loafer! Did you ever hear the j story of Tony Morano? He was an Italian immigrant kid who was brought to this country when he was twelve. His uncle “iming” him, and took him out on a job with a rail road section gang. Tony was a water-boy. His uncle could read; just about enough to get by the immigration officers. Out on the section, Tony used to watch the freight trains go by, and he would catch the shapes of let ters and numbers off the ears. With clay or coal, he’d mark ’em on a shovel and coax his uncle to tell him what they were. That’s the way he began to read. Tony was a Penn State student when he was twenty. That’s going some for eight years, considering the start he had. Loafer, | if you had half his hunger for knowledge, and none of his handicaps, how far could you go? Would it bo worthwhile to find out? -Benjamin Kaplan Loafer: “0, hum! Wish I had a date. Wonder what’s on at the movies? Say, wasn’t that a honey Babe Ruth socked yester—cigarette me, somebody,” ’ SESSION THREE Mr. Smithers, I want to have a talk with you alone. I I don’t think some of the boys will like what I’m about, to reveal to you, and I don’t want to hurt their feelings right off the bat. No doubt after what I say there will be some sort of slam at this paper from the thing I'm about to hammer—but that would be bum sportsmanship. Sir, I want your honest opinion on a certain question. Don’t you think it’s about time the gentlemen who edit our j comic supplement, commonly known as Froth, wise up.to I their horrible staleness? We’re tired of the old wheezes j on bottles and logs, popping corks and drooping negligees, i In fact, I suspect the men are rather tired, themselves, | of the dirt. Why don’t they wake up to the fact that there is some live-wire humor on this campus—clean stuff and actually clever? Why, sir, I believe every man hero, several times a day, has a good chuckle over some clever remark, or an amusing situation, or a right funny joke. Smithers, how many laughs did you have today? And don’t you think these jokes would have made others laugh? In fact—here it is—l imagine that the funny editors are too lazy to get on the job and absorb some of the clean, honest-to-good ncss wit that abounds on our campus, and use some ma terial for a change that won’t disgrace the college.

BY Mr. A. E. Thomas wrote “Her Hus band’s Wife”; N. D.; Zimmerman made it. As a.three-act farce, it was perhaps the best example of "laugh and-the-wovld-laughs-with-you, weep and-you-weep-alone-ishness” that I’ve ever seen. I enjoyed it—it was done 1 quite cutely—and the lack of lavish I praise in this tract isonly because I I am today inclined toward emphasiz- I ing important minor details that the Players forgot. The Players, cast in, as, by, and with Zimmerman .as The Character, succeeded fairly well in their interpre tation of “Her Husband’s Wife” in the Auditorium Saturday evening. Zimmerman, when in character, was the acme of interpretive perfection. The audience hung on. his words, and | if he delayed his delivery the least, I the gallows' trap'was.dropped from | under its feet. Every line of Zim merman’s was a confession of the great possibilities which are his, and which he shows in every role he por trays.- Without him, the play would have been, a Hop. If, however, he sees this, he must not think he is a Booth or a Mantel he is not. Though with more coach- I ing and a few. years more of exper- I ience, he might be able to break into the profession at some time in his life. .. . There is no second in command. Honors are “easy” for the rest of them. R. W. Huston served well the 1 muse, but his effeminate manner, which accentuated itself- in his con trolled and studied gestures, pulled down a banner whiclrmight have been his. Huston would do well to culti- I vato his voice for a more masueline tone, although, if the directors of the J Players see lit, I’ll agree, too, that I Huston is a valuable man when he is well cast. . J. IT. Vance amused the gallery with another of his very endurable drunken escapades. I think he was selected to play Stuart because of his ability to interpret The writhing of ho snakes in the nasal whine which is his and his alone, thank heavens! Vance is really capable of doing the “tale-spinning toper” to the delight of the depraved—and deprived. He missed a capital chance to come out on top of the pile whcn’he refused to work up his ire in a scene .which'was meant to lie his very own. A'.man should get truly mad when lie is treat ed in the highly improbable manner which Augustus Thomas has worked Life Insurance—John Hancock John Hancock —Life Insurance .That connection works “* either way in good heads.

Everyone around me said Miss Krause, but the program had Miss Doty as Nora. Do programs cost so very much? “The-girl-who played-Norn” was the ordinary run of color-blind female servant, but now and then she exchanged feet for the limp. She did a darn good job on her makeup, however. An so did ev eryone else, now that I recall. The scenery was rotten—disgrace ful.
