State Col leoci Pn Telephone 202-VV, Bell R M Atkinson News Editor This Issue FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15,1926 ' OUR BIG JOB Penn State has sent a football team into the West, a team that has bowled o\er three light, small-college elevens, but a team that is as green and as inexperienced as ever a football combina tion might be. Of course, theie ai*e quite a few seniors on the first eleven—and a few inexper ienced juniors and a sophomore, perhaps, here and there on the string of reserves. But regardless of the practical experience these men have had on the field, they’re going up against a Rockne coached team, and they’re playing agamst a bunch of Fighting Irishmen who haven’t been licked in their own back yard for twenty-one years 1 Think of it—Notre Dame has not been defeated on the home gridiron since Wabash College trounced the Irish in 1905. The Nittany Lions may or may not reach the top ot theii form tomorrow. If they do, then it is the duty of the student body of this old College to keep the gridmen at the peak of fighting fury until dinner is served following the fracas Thanks giving Day. And if the Blue .and White suffers a reverse at the hands of the Green, it is the duty of all Penn State men to take the bieak with a smile— and keep the morale of the team and the student body from finding the bottom of the bottomless pit. And if the students do not find a way to keep every ounce of “fight” in the men who give , themselves for Penn State—then we fail of our purpose—“a deep and abiding loyalty to all things for which the College stands.” If the team wins, spirit will be high, both among playeis and students. And—if the team loses, spirit must not be let down, either among the men on the squad or the men in the stands. If the Blue and White rides the air tomorrow will/blaze the trail to a victorious spirit when the team meets Syracuse. If the Penn State flag trails in the dust, the team will be iust a little disheartened, thinking that it has failed the little old College back here in Pennsyl vania. And everyone here will bend a bit—and straighten up—to help the team back up to the top—for Syracuse ! ' Win or lose, the Penn State student body has the rest of the football season in the hollow of its hand! And if this season is to be a success, there must be a one-hundred per cent turnout to wel come back the team that has so gloriously cairicd our colors! That’s OUR job! GREAT NEWS—GOOD NEWS! “And there the poor thing sits—over m the mountains without a covering—without a chair— sans everything except a name—the Andy Lytle Memorial Cabin!” But no more! The Andy Lytle Memorial Cabin, so long mentioned by students but never given true student support, has at last gained a champion! And more than one! Student Council, Intra-mural Council and Delta Sigma Pi, professional commerce fraternity, have pledged their support in any manner neces sary, in order that Penn State may have the first of her chain of memorial cabins in the surround ing mountains. When more student organiza tions take the matter in serious consideration and extend their support, the Andy Lytle cabin will be finished and thrown open to all students. Speed the day when the entire student body lends its aid to sqch a worthy enterprise. “GET TO PENN After we get through with Notre Dame, Sy racuse and George Washington, we take on Penn-, sylvamq. at Franklin Field. After being off the footbajl schedule of the Red and Blue for one season, we return to Philadelphia and our huge alumni body m the Eastern section of the state, we return to a now and improved Franklin Field, we stack up against a new Penn team —and there are many things which hinge upon the results of that game* But our place in the sun is not to be held unless Penn State supports its team to the utmost. The men who will be at the letuins here must be only those who are absolutely prevented from at tendance at the Penn Bowl. And. the cheering section at the game in Philadelphia must be as strong as the cheering section at the Alumni Day game here next Satuiday. Fifteen thousand seats-r-thp entne lower tier of the North Stand of Fianklin Field—have been icscrved for Penn Stale. It is up to us to fill those seats I “Get to Penn ,n - President Vice-PiC3ident Treasurer Editor-In-Chief Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women’s Editor The Bullosopher’s Chair B Kaplan '2B P. It. Smalt?. '2B SESSION ONE Mi Smithers, now that the college season is fairly we*l opened, and manifestations of the fn-famed college spii.t me now witnessed in the booing of umpires and referees at the football games, instead of bestowing benign fellowship upon our new brotheis m college with duckings, molasses troughs, and humiliating episodes on Co-op, we might icflect on the wisdom of such an introduction to college life Sniilhers —Aie you referring to hazing 9 Just that, bit! Wo introduce the ficshman to the life which represents the culture, education, training: in short, the h’gbei* living of the nation, by having him grovel in the tint of the street before n ciowd of cunosity mongers ard would-be ruff'uns "We cherish his ideal of the splen dor of highei education by having him toll up his trousers, turn his coat inside out, and run a race with himself until he is exhausted We hand down the glorious traditions of the college to him by having him parade to the swing of a ppdille and porfoim all the ridiculous stunts that an asinine bram of a sopliomoie (thanks to the Editor) can think of. We mtioducc college life, that formative period m which we desire to bring to these youths a passion for learning, a training in the o'tscntiflls of life, and above all, a code of gentlemanly conduct, we introduce Penn State, by methods which the most stupid, ignorant and vulgar would resent! It. B Kilboin *2» W J. .McLaughlin '2B Smithers —But he is a freshman* Yes, he is a ficshman—but—the time has come when wc must get ovei oui cow-college (not the lull), the time hrs come for a change in attitude toward the freshman. I do not mean to place hun on a pedestal, or hand over the Levs of tne college to him, but .vhy not take cognizance of 1m fomier training? Why not let him know that we appeciute h:s manhood, and that we expect him to act as a man 9 lie is no longer in a prep school (as our hazing i seems to indicate); he is in an institution which demands that he conduct himself like a gentleman. And I repeat Mi Smithers, we must set the example and act like gentle men ourselves* And the words “gentleman" and “rough neck” are not synonomousl * SESSION TWO I wish to moke a statement which I think, Mr Smith ers, will lemove the bad taste fiom tie mouths of the leadcis of “Remarks by—” in the Inst issue of this paper Unmercifully, ciratieally, incoherently, and unnecessarily, The Playgoer attacked “Hei Husband’s Wife” as presented by The Players list Saturday night. His criticisms were probably true, but dooidodly misplaced and improperly em phasised Smithers —lf his points were true, why say his review of the play was m the wrong 9 A review of a critical natuie, Mr. Smithers, is a happy :omi/iration of scveial elements—not a stress on one. The interpietation of the play, a judgment regarding its se lection and presentation, a comparison with a standard, are some of the things which might be involved. But, the important thing to remember is: the play must be consid ei cd as a whole, and from the point of view of its general cTcot on the audience. The Playgoer dismissed such con sideration with a sentence, and dwelt entirely upon details. The opposite should have been the case. He should have dismissed the details, and considered of primary import ant the play as a whole. Details are important, it is true, but not so important that they can command the whole rttemon of lie critic while principles and. standards are neglected The Playgoer's review was clearly a case of misplaecd'cmphasis! * *- f ' ' "! v.a.

' Friend Leo Houck has been toting smelling salts at practice sessions alj week, but \yc don’t -think they weie what Dutch Hermann inferred to when he remarked, with a disgusted gesture towards the freshman field, “The stench is terrible over there*” Those same smelling salts come ip handy when" vye heard with our own auditory organs a clumsy and un handsome lincnfan directing a third assistant manager to jog over to a car parked nearby "and inquire if the pietty girl seated thereto was looking for him. By the way, are you aware that our George Greene is the leading individ ual scorer of the East to date, with eight touchdowns or fopty-eight points to his credit? And that our owp Liops have reg istered thirty-three points more thpn Southern California to clinch high team scoring laurels to date with Dantmouth a close third?

Their team was playing that day, and they had all turned out to cheer its way to victory. The cheerleaders, seeing the possibility of such a crowd thought of a clever stunt: they dressed a fal low up to-look like the Nittany Lion aqd tqok Ipiji out before the graml stajujs. Was tljc stunt successful 9 Not nearly as successful as it might ijiavp bceri.' What was the trouble 9 Thpre wqs something lacking The fellows did not shout or cheer as earnestly or as with as much enthus iasm as they should have. It v.as a natural result. ’ The Nittany Lion is the embodi ment of thp principles of this Alma Mater. In its form and every move ment is seen the action of our school. Its majestic mien portrays the dig nity of our College. Its aggressive ness the fighting spirit of our team The courage that makes the Lion the king of beasts is the same spirit that pervades our campus. Had the lion apted as befitted a lion the shouting and tumult would not have been stilled even jiow. But how, m the name of lions, cpn you expect to cheer a lion which symbolizes a school, when that lion is dancing around on its hind legs and acting like a jackass ? Nothing seemed as ridiculous and unappropnatc as the incident which was taking place at the time 7,000 people were singing with apparent fervor the strains of “Hail to the Lion, Loyal and True ’’ And what was our loyal and true lion doing? Our ma jestic lion was doing the Charleston The lion stunt is a wonderful idea should not be abandoned, but it should be used correctly to be effective. Had the lion made his appearance once or twice walking on all fours and acting as majestically as befitted a lion, as befitted the symbol of Penn State, the cheering would have been heard in Pittsburgh. » (Signed) James D.
