Penn State’s Drives Carry Ball
To Enemy Net on Numerous
Occasions —Penn Goalie
Prevents Tallies
Penn State’s soccermen made his
tory m their initial contest with the
University of Pennsylvania Satur
day when they trampled the touted
Red and Blue m the dust of River
field, Philadelphia to score a lone goal
and to emerge victorious, 1-0, in a
fast, tense battle. The game was a
regularly scheduled league contest
Even moie determined to down the
Penn soccer combination than the lat
ter was to put another break in the
Blue and White’s long list of wins,
the Lion hooters unleashed many of
feVis.ve drives that carried the ball
to the enemy net only to have it stop
ped there by the opposing goalie
They held an edge throughout, pn
the defense they broke up fast charg
er by Penn’s iften to the ball and
worrying the opposing forwards to
such an extent that the latter missed
their boots for counters because of
hurried kicking
Lone Goal Scored
In the fust half both teams went
scoreless, scrimmage seesawing hack
and forth between the goals Penn
State’s counter came in the* early
minutes of the second half. “Mus"
Serty, centered the sphere from out
side left, the, boot landing'neav the
Blue and White net Here the Penn
backs headed the ball hoping to cleai
it
Before they could get the play away
from the goal Griffin, inside right on
the Nittany forward line, rushed in,
met the ball with the side of his head
and shot it past the enemy net-tend
er for a clean coufltcr that proved to
be the winning point After this
score the efforts of the Univeisity ag
gregation to come from behind were
useless, play for the most part being
centered in Red and Blue territory.
Penn State Kicks Off
Play opened when Penn State kick
ed off. The line carried the ball to
within twenty yards of the goal
where Marshall booted for the net
Callahan, Red and Blue goal-keeper,
snatched the sphere and sent rt to
midfield where lus teammates recov
eied
The Pennsylvania linemen then
passed to within u short distance of
their goal where Pratt was forced to
take a hurried shot. The boot went
wild and went over the net Penn
State again secured the ball
Opposing'Goalie Banished
Dribbling and passing took play
through the opposing backs to enable
the Lions to attempt another goal.

PLEBE RUNNERS SLACKEN
PACE AND LOSE TO PITT
Crumford, of Panthers, Takes
First—Giles, Ratcliff
Get Next Berths
Failure of three fresnman harriers
to keep running on the long climb over
the Pitt course caused the Penn State
cross-country team to'submit to the
Panther yearlings by one point Satur
day, 28*27 Crumford of tho home
team captured the individual honors
by taking first over the two and one
half mile course in 15 minutes 22
seconds.
Giles Second
Running a fast race but beaten by
a more flashy runner Giles carried the
Blue and White across the finish in
second place Ratcliff and Mqorc, of
Penn State, took the next two posi
tions and four Pitt plCbcs, Walker,
Patterson, Wurray and Jerpe, bunched
themselves to win the next four
beiths ' ,
Hoffman and ICovalik, finishing ninth
and tenth, were disappointments to
Cartmoll but he later attributed their
showing to mcxpcLiencc. Had, cither
of these men ran the entire distance
they would have likely finished one
place nearer the winner, and given
the Lions the necessary tvto points to
triumph. Porter 1 and Makowski were
the othei members of the team.

Colleges of the Future

Education should cndcavoi to as
sist tho individual in achieving his
greatest efficiency, considering his en

changes, and with it the attitude to

each change in the outlook upon the
world, comes, of necessity, a change
in the solution of the problems of life.
The colleges and universities, entrust

young people to the multifarious
: pioblems of life, may be expected to
alter their educational principles and
practices with every epochal culture.
To conjectuie what innovations there
will be in college and university prac

at once prophetically difficult and be

COMPARES LIFE TO RACE
Chapel Speaker Says Endurance
And Patience in Thinking
Solve Our Problems
The Rev. G C Vincent, pastor of
the Shad} side United Presbyterian
church of Pittsburgh, compared life
to a race toward a goal in his Chapel
talk Sunday in the Auditorium.
His text was taken from tho first
verse of the twelfth chapter of Hc
biews, which reads. “Wherefore see
ing \vc also arc compassed about with
so great a crowd of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and the sin
winch does so easily beset us, and let
us run with'patience the race that is
set before us " i
In the firtft portion of his sermon,
Rev. Vincent stated that the weights
that bind us are our intellectual prob
lems and those concerning Christian
ity. These matters should be settled
only after deepest consideration. “We
should, however, not only run the race
which is set before us with patience,
but also with «tiong endurance. Pa
tience helps us and ondurancc savo3
us.”
shall take. Let us venture to name
\ery briefly, space insufficient for
elaboration, several of the prevailing
conditions which will demand read
justment within, say, the next twen
ty years
1. America’s 780 universities and
colleges are overcrowded. Within the
past ten years the nation’s student
body has doubled its number, until
at present there are, approximately
800,000 students in attendance. This,
increase cannot continue under the
present anangoment, the earning
power of the nation will eventually
restrict it. In short, the solution is
to be found in the establishment of
Branch Colleges, Junior Colleges,
Correspondence couiscs, nnd Exten
tion classes, permitting, in time, only
the exceptionally proficient and prom
ising student to attend college on the
campus.
2. Athletics, at picscnt, is being
diverted into channels countci to the
piinciples which lay nt the basis of
their inception, namely the health of
the entire student body. The student
body and faculty of tomorrow will
