THANKSGIVING DAY FOOTBALL GAMES
What viould the college world and general public
think if the Cornell-Pennsylvania and Penn State-
Pitt games, that have always been placed on "I hanks
giving Day, were moved to an earlier place on the
schedules of the , respective colleges Just mentioned ,
Everyone would naturally be astounded.
Supporters of tradition would lose no time to
shout that the games have always been played as the
season's elima% in past years and why can't it rentals
so" Which is nevei an argument for the retaining
of anything if any given object has outworn its
usefulness then, tradition to the winds, it should be
discarded. First of all, howeler, sufficient proot
must be gisea to show that stagnation has set in
Atter the first e \citement had subsided regard
ing the placing rf these traditional I hanksgiving
Day games to an earlier date on the season's sched
ule those interested would demand just who their
Alma Mater would encounter in the Turkey Day
classic
Four college teams base Just been mentioned.
Working first on these tour, the nest logical oppon
ents on Thanksgiving would be Peon State opposing
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia Which world leave
Pitt and Correll holutng the bag, apparently Not
for long, however, these car institutions would soon
schedule what would be their natural rivals, Carnegie
'tech and Dartmouth-respectiieli. , the annual Pitt-
Tech clash carries with it the champuhnship of the
cityy, and has a bearing'on the Tri-state district title.
in addition these two instAtions are natural rivals
in every sense of the word Cornellians will tell
you that they would rather tinimph over the Green
of Dartmouth than any other team on their schedule
It is said that the Ithacans point for Dartmouth,
and it is known that the boss from Hanover do the
saute foi Cornell rhe Cornell-Dartmouth game in
NNcw Yo-k city would mean much to both nstitu
lions
Of course, all this is merely si.ppos,tional
though extremely radical it does not appear imprac-'
tical Financially none of the colleges mentioned
would suffer, rather they would benefit There is In
abundance to he gained in other respects, also
It would not be time wasted for the proper au
thorities to ponder along the genci al vein. At the
outset. the suggested changes would not be possible
in es cry case for at least five or ten years—it at all.
The first question that should be asked is, "Is it
possible , ' And if one succeeds in overcoming the
tear of breaking down the existing horror of abolish
ing certain traditions, then the entire project seems
surprisingly logical
WE ARE THANKFUL
Philadelphia newspapers welt unanimous in
praising the good sportsmanship of Penn State stu
dents in accepting the unespected victory over Pcnr•
Sylvania in a comparatively quiet and unobtrusive
manner. All of which rellects credit on the name of
the College and her students.
The Penn State football team came in For its
share of praise when it was penned as having
played hard but clean football. When things like
that are typed of the student body and the football
team of Penn State, then the College has been the
recipient of thousands and thousands of mythical
dollars of advertising
It is far more difficult to win praise than to be
the target of criticism People have always been
more prone to scatter evil about individuals or
groups, than they have been to bestow praise. 'I here
are also matt people •,..nuch enjoy to spresd
sc .nclat, that they remain quiet when sin opportunity
comes to tell the good that has been deset ted But
now \i e are getting beside the original point.
The actions of the players and students of Penn
State at Franklin Field were commended We are
thankful to Pluladelphia newspapers It could easily
hate gone unnoticed
E!I=1
Since no one thinks of anything except football,
these dues (stet), local interest is centered on tomor
row's clash with Syracuse Opinion is divided re
garding the Lion's chances with the Orange Before
the Penrsyhania game, the majority here of the op
inion that Penn State would hgltt to the last whistle
but, just the sure, they Were fearful of the outcome
That ‘ictory nag sent the Blue and White stock seal
ing Tne coming Syracuse-Penn State game looks
like an even toss

It is said that Pennsylvania %.,as completely at a
loss mlien Mc!, plavd Penn State because they mere
still thinking of the magnificent victory over Brown,
the meek be , r , ^e If the Penn State delegation in
vades Slracuse wilt their thoughts still centered on
the io‘ ous triumph in Philadelphia, then Syracuse
is h.tble t 3 profi , in a manner that mill not be accept
able to the ‘is,tors
Businc, Alannzer
Athernsing 31Tnngel
But Syracuse was supposed to be detcated by
Georgetown at Archbold stadium last Saturday and
the Orange sprang just another of the many surprises
of the day b' decisis eh , downing the visitors fain
Washington So in the same way it can be said that
if Syracuse still remembers the Georgetown game
aboN e all else, then the Orange is likely to be in tor
a disagreeable atternoon What will probably hap
pen will be that both teams will forget all past oc
currences and the spectators will thus be treated to
a high class brand of pulsating football

Relations between Syracuse and Penn State have
always been of the best May the best team win to
mo•raw and may the present wholesome relations
between the two colleges always continue'
HELP THE PENN STATE MISSION TO CHINA!
An opportunity to spread the name of Penn
State into a foreign country, China, will be given
Sunday when a collection be taken to help
' Daddy" Groff in his work among studerts at the
Lingnan uni‘eisity at Canton
The leasing American colleges and uni‘ersines
are at the present time maintaining representames
on the lacuM at tins great institution in China
Ranking high among this group, as contributors to
Lirgnan crrin, is Penn 'State, an annual con
tributor since lot 1 "DadcW' Groff, who graduated
front Penn State in 1007, nas been the local represen
tame at this institution He has been supported en
tirely by canyabutions from Penn State
That Lingnan is deser‘ing of every consideration
is shown by statistics It draws its students from
two of China's greatest pro‘inces which are popu
lated by almost fifty million people. Di‘ided into
several departments, the university endeavors to care
for all the possible major requirements of these mil
lions
----L

The university, the most influential in South
China, is constantly growing It-is more than e , ,er
in need of outside support The question of whether
or not Penn State will maintain her place at the top
of the list of annual donors will be answered Sunday
It is a worthy cause
