' 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

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 ' '

for Notro Dame to have .two authen

by the news that bpth are sorrel-tops.

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?
The squad will make itself quite at

Editor The Penn State COLLEGIAN,
Deqc Sir:
The stands &erc packed with en
thusiastic students and fans. 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.
