Emtni This I , stie Ncu• rchtoi Thu; isbtic TUESDAI , SEPTEMBER 27, 1927 A FALSE ALARM Eye-ndne•ses of the curtain-nosing football garac on New BCaler last Saturday did not ap rei, tr he in a very happy name of mind after Lebanon Valley w as the 'eminent of an expected bonne:lK. There was bitter wailing that the 1927 edition m Penn State football warriors real c,.,ve a pitiable exhibition and, taking that as a ei ttemon. another lean season is in store. A few comments of that identical nature were actually heard. 'I lite, the Blue and White did not reveal any tHm, spea'aculal in then debut but that is cer tainly no cause for such bewailing. There is a s'aptts.ne amount ot truth in the old maxim, "A nom beginning makes a good ending." And it' Nitlant , football followers believe the veuty of maxim , then a well-known Pantile' will be in m a none too profitable afternoon on the day that ll fat tuike3 s look to with considerable apprehen sion. Then ug,ain, the season is still in its intan tile stages Bette' hate the team come along }lowly in the inchnumuy games rather than have the entire outfit tuned up and ieady to toll up rec md-bret.long scores for hollow Nictones. Dining the last three of four lean years that Pen• State followers hate lived tin ough, i the Var sity looked like the proverbial million in the pie 'miners' games only to finish the season flounder ing, badly. For that reason Al C were glad to sec an unimmessive start No real consistent pow wps es/dent against Lebanon Valley but there lc plenty ot games in the offing, ts here the un coveted rower can be employed to considerable advantage. For any football team to go through the so-called early gan•es with little show of its actuol stn ength t minds us of the wise citizen that stoic up pennies fe• the mythical tarry day. An• mausprzmiz start against admittedly infelior team , really bespeaks a healthy state of affairs A glance at the scores of the hundred or mote col leg: football game , " that acre played Saturday, ter eah; tae fact that very few really one-sided talhc were lolled up. Any trot Ms that might be entertained by those who witnessed the Leban on Vlley game are groundless It is too early ui the season In. hopes to rise m even he dashed to the depths It college students and alumni would only ac custom themselves to the tact that their• football team can be debeated- during ,Scil.§oll. of •play ; they a truly bloater spirit could•beideveloPed, there v. ould be less ballyhoo about the over-em phasis at football and everything would be' bet ter all around To outline this suggestion: let am student say to himself, "Out football team will be defeated dm mg the season but I will accus to-r mrselt to expect it When it happens, how c , i cheer for the team with the same exert all my influence to see that it has the united support of the entire stu dent body tin oughout the season " It such a con dition could become a reality then the pal ticulai college could boast the greatest spirit in the coun t} and that same spirit mould become as well knotNii and as famous as a championship football team championship football team is accepted as thousands of dollaia in advertising for the col lege whose colors it bears. But on the other hand that same championship team is about as scarce a , . digestible meat in the local community, when it is iemembeied that these are more than three hundred college football teams annually strug gling for that honor. Thmetore a firmer founda tion for advertising Would be to build up a col lege spirit and loyalty that would soon become nationally famed. With the idea uppermost that then• team can be walloped, the student body at any institution could cesohe that those defeats will be as few and ar flu between as possible. In that way real spirit can be established A cheering section could be organwed that would not stop giving encour agement to their lepresentatives until the final hustle seas blown, no matter what the ultimate outcome of the flay may be. If the student body exhibits a never-say-die attitude throughout a season, no matter how gaunt that season may be as fin as victones arc concerned, and backs their team to the limit against the greatest odds, then the outside world will begin talking about the re mailatble spirit that belongs to students of Wee hawken University. That university will become talked about, it will become famous through the spirit that Vas manifest by the student body. That student body forgot about the victory sale of football Th.l bore in mind h.- 3a. I tl.tt to be successful the tenni must haN 0 their entire backing; that nu matter how many games were lost they (the student body) would still be on hail to cheer IN ith even more 'fervor That stu dent body exhibited a ices el-say-die attitude from the first game to the last, not meioly while the team was winning but when the going was diffi cult, when the team really needed the support Instead of a student body bee ailing the fact that their team is not of championship ealibr.: why not base that same student body get out and demonsiate to the won Id that they hose the great est spu it of any existing group of collegians. Whether in not a college possesses a student body ith genuine spn it can be demonstrated at no bet el place than at a football game. II I'. Mitcham '.29 L Mltstlfer TO AFTER THE BATTLE It is an oddity, a trick of fate, that happenings that take place annually should come under the classification of tradition Take for example, the football game with Pitt or mole recent. Move-up Day, which instituted two years ago has become an institution to w Inch students of all four class es look foi and n with eager anticipation. The tw o abos c-named are pr opei ly termed, but there me other annual happenings that are really traditions. although the genuine Penn State supporter would be loathe to call them such. .1. H Rea '29 W. S. Tut ner '29 One traditional et ent took place for the 'steenth year is hen the opening football game ith Lebanon Valley was droning to a close. Wher the new scoreboard indicated that only a few minutes 01 playing time remained, a notice able change came of or the upper class stands: large numberz of students had vacated then• seats and acme making their exit The few minutes soon elapsed, the held judge's horn announced the end m the game and the loyal remaining few in the uppeiciass sections arose to sing the "Alma .paten " C Hoffman _H. P 3llleham The Mho side of the field presented a marked 7.ortiast. The students that left befme the end of the game could almost have been counted on one's fingers But they suee freshmen and it would have been a violation of one of the tales that had been laid down for them! The custom of remaining to sing the "Alma rater" berme le.n mg the field applies to the foui :lasses.
