SHRINK THE VIOLET!
Brimming with confidence and prophesying NlC
tory New York University's giant eleven comes to
Penn State tomorrow a mighty team—a team that
has defeated nearly all of its opponents by over
whelming scores, a team well coached, well equipped
with reserve strength, well fortified with four of the
greatest backfield men in the East.
N. Y. U is an unbeaten team, but not an unbeat
able one As we recall, our own backfield men at e
not so bad, nor are our linesmen slow, and as Bee
evaso.ely remarked before the Pennsylvania, Syra
cuse and Lafayette games "the other team will know
they have been in a fight" Statisticians interested
in this sort of thing report that the "wise men" are
laying three to two odds that N Y U will win by at
least a touchdown, and economists who heretofore
have been investigating n.hy the peanut is a shell of
its former self, are perking up their cars and are try
ing furiously to locate the source of the reports.
We should like to defeat N Y. U And they
would enjoy beating us There is nothing else, at
firms Mr Mkehan, diat he would like better How
ever, our own team's opinion may interfere with thew
modest propossl. "We'll win," says Captain Roeoke
TO HOUSE PARTY QUEENS
Careful obsersers lia.e sensed in the past feu
days an undeieurient of resentment against the de
bate in the Auditorium tonight, alter the Thespian
show The real show, they intimate, Vilkstart after
the Thespians lease the' stage Now this is deplor
able': All i undercurrents are, deploralbe All gen , ,
eralizations are deplorable All—but to continue
The Auditorium, squeak the displeased, should be re
served for sacred things, like chapel exercises and!
vaudeville shows. To use it for a debate on so sol
emn an occasion as House Party is to profane the at-1
trosphere which many a football mass meeting has
onde halt Of cause (so runs the generous compro-1
rinse) if there were another Auditorium the debaters'
could harangue there without hurting anybody's,
feelings, but since at present we are watchfully wait-!
mg for better Auditoriums (to be built) the house
party hosts graciously suggest that the debaters talk
things over in sonic quiet place where they won't get
in anyone's way—say at the Stock Pavilion, or over
at the new \Warehouse, both nice new buildings
It would seem from this sentiment that debating
is one of the few unpopular indoor sports, and in
deed, history bears this out The number of stud
ents who have attended last year's forensic perform
ances has been, on an average, well under a hundred .
and it would appear that only doom awaits the efforts
of the few scholars endeavoring to adulterate "Take
your girlie to the movies" so that it sounds like "Take
your girlie to the debate" It is better, perhaps, to
leave the rest unsung . So the debaters persist
week after week in attemps to remove the wobble
from their Socratic legs and though their competi
tion for popular interest with the Student Tribunal
is a hopeless one, it is in its very futility a brave one.
It is an indication that the never-say-die spirit (for
which Penn State is famous) hovers near water
pitchers as ardently as in the neighborhood of pig
skins.
But what about tonight's debate' , Will it be a
good one, will it "draw" , ' Advocates of oratory
point out that even house party hosts have been
known to speak admiringly of the persistence and
courage of Penn State debaters• and this, they say, is
a good sign. Some day the hosts may hear a debate,
lust for curiosity—and with the opponents coming
tram Great Britain and with topic they are bringing
("Is Co-education a Success") tonight may be the
night. . _
Personally, we feel that this is sery probable.
Per one thing, in ihe who, tnt itu debate As an
nounced, the English team , will argue that co-edura
non is a tailitre and the Penn State team will believe
for an evening that it is not. Anything with co-edu
cation to it is making .t strong bid to till the house
Obviously the hasty will jump to the conclusion that
the debate is about co-eds and that something about
co-eds is bound to be—er—sauppy and thus confus
ing the definition of terms and mistaking the ques
tion at issue for an examination of the virtues and
faults of the co-eds. they will rush to the Auditorium
fired with patriotism, and, rolling up their sleeves,
will say "If this is an issue. we are here to back it

Shen. many will not overlook the international)
aspect of the affair The Nisitors are Englishmen
and more likely than not will wear monocles (in the
ascrage house party queen's mind) A monocle will
go a long way in cementing relations, as it is known
to diplomatic circles Last week the British team
met Columbia Univeisity, and though admission was
charged there were no reports of spats, canes, or
monocles We consider this one of the most glaring
oversights in Journalism's history But even this
pales beside the lurid blunder of the publicity men.
Suppose it had been advertised that the Prince of
