TUESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1927
VICTORY!
So far as football is concerned Penn State ha.
begun to regain her supremacy Last Saturday saw a
Pennsylvania team rated the winner by two touch-,
downs go down to defeat betore a Penn State eleven,
beaten the prev ions week Tate score was not 6-o,'
nor 10.0; nor even 14-0. It was, as any Penn Statel
man will tell you, 20-0 A remarkable score, consid-;
ering the circumstances With three veteran line- 1
men incapacitated, situ a team but lately routed by
an underrated foe, Penn 'State achieved what sport-,
ing writers, in an effort to lustily their prlphetimil
decisions, disparagingly call "upsets" Yet the very
unexpectedness of the triumph was further glory for
tie Blue and White Not since C•irnegie 1 orb hum
bled Notre Dante has the football world been so'
stirred. It was amazing, impossible But "Bee's" i
boys" did it 1
In defeat Pennsylvania was gracious It had
prepared for a hard game, confident of victory, hap- ,
py in the thought of vanquishing a traditional op
ponent, and most of the sixty-live thousand specta- 1
tars had felt the same way Where the "%vise boys"l
make their bets it was sind that the odds were two
to one—not that Pennsylvania would merely &telt
Penn State, but that Pennsylvania would win by nt
least two touchdowns. One wonders what Andy Lytle
would say on that subject
13 advise a team successful' in overcoming a
touted foe is one of the most popular pastimes of
the day.' It makes one feel important to tell the star
guard to beware at over-conhdence But if Penn
State was over-confident earlier in the season the
feeling has since changed to an iron determination
to Eight for victory that it pleases us to call inspired
t3z:mving in its coach and relying on its own power
the 1927 leo - ball team has moven itselt worthy of
any eleven in the country. It will meet in Syracuse
this week an opponent whom no Penn State gridiron
team has ever defeated And it the Nittony Lions
can repent Saturday's daring exhibition then the his
tory of Franklin rield will likewise repeat itself--
at Archbold Stadium.
LESSONS IN EDITORIAL WRITING
The spirit of youth has stopped running about
in an ones Ford and taken to sweltering to the base
ment of the Library, reading history However, in
another week the spirit will be as blithe as ever peo
ple will begin to accuse college students of wilful
savagery, the college of oser-emphasizing football,
and the student, a worm in the Library, will become
in the glorious inadequacy of an open Ford, a spirit.
Professors will say that in these days education is
being butchered But some of them will grin from
ear to ear.
All this of course is preliminary When we were
learning the technicalities of the trade, so to speak,
we were told that the writing of anything( front com
ics to editorials) could not be taught, but that this is
the way to do it• a preliminary paragraph (on the
theory that all things require an introduction); a mid
dle "body" paragraph (on the assumption that all
things must have a middle), and a conclusion (on the
axiom that even editorials must end some place.)
You will notice, no doubt, that so tar we have
achieved, or at last maneuvered to achievement, a
preliminary paragraph that introduces nothing ex
cept the second paragraph—which, in turn, is equally
cheerless in content. This worries us As one ob
server remarks, we ramble after the fashion of the
seventeenth century essayists. Previously we had
thought that the set commit!' eettrtil) had on
rinitigh, at tour-., it had mem red to us that
then had been a seventeenth centur) but now in
rather affectionate manner we rega - d the rainbllngs
of the seventeenth century essayists us an agreeable
brotherly weakness, since we enjoy rambling our
selves. liowmer, it enough pressure is brought to
bear (etc) on us we shall abandon the Ford for the
Library and become, editorial!) as solid as cheese.
Cheese, so Linnets tell us, is more substantial than
air (hot or cold). though not as interestmg. And
that is our conclusion

SEND THE BAND TO STRACIISE,
Rumors reached us•after the Bucknell game that
because of the Varsity's defeat the Blue Band would
not moot its proposed trip to Syracuse Unverified,
these reports are nevetthcicss ala"ming, it football
is not more than spot tsmanslup than the refusal to
send the Band to Syracuse, because of the defeat,
indicates an embairassing inconsistann apparently
the Band is the servant of defeat or v'ctory
II P Thleham '29
L Mststrter "29
We hope that ice murmurs were mei ely the wag
gings of gossips, for tne Penn 'State Band has a gla
mour about it that to the students represents e hit
crating college spirit set to music To hear the Col
lege Bard plus the Alma Mates at Franklin Field
last Saturday vnts, uorth whatever e \Tenses its pres
ence there may have entailed To hear the Band at
Syracuse would be equally stirring With the Band
playing, e‘cn after a football defeat, one pleasantly
remembers (as the old song goes) that "old Penn
State was old Penn State, ashen Bucknell was a pup."
