REVISED LINEUP FAILS,

Nittany Team Remains Here
To Prepare for Haverford
And, Swarthmore
The Penn State boaters repeated
their early-season victory over Al
toona, Saturday, when an the second
half of a much disputed game, they
ran rampant through the car-men's
ranks for a 3-0 win.
Both teams shooed increased vigor
and skill . , developed since their tilt on
October eighth. The .Nittany com
bination, despite an extensive re-or
ganization of the lineup necessitated
by recent injuries and ineligibilities,
retained its characteristic team play
and speed
Sorry Nets First Goal
Moans Serry, Egyptian soccerite
playing for the first time this season,
filled proficiently the center forward
position and succeeded in netting the
first goal of the fray. Previously, the
keystone berth had been the one out
standing sneak point in the Nittany
offense. Sorry, able to place the
sphere equally well with either foot,
is almost certain to remain at the cen
tral post for the remainder of the sea
son.

Netting the final two points of the
Lion score, Dick Marshall maintained
his position as high scorer of the Penn
State team. Glaser, playing a phase
of the game unfamiliar to him, did

OPTIMISTIC VIEWPOINT
Appeals Chiefly to Generation
Of American Youth for
Transformation
With an appeal directed ehietiv to
the younger generation of America,
Dr :Mordecai IV. Johnson, president
of Howard university, Washington,
D C, addressed the chapel congi.e
gation here on Sunday morning.
•
"Be not conformed to this world;
but be ye transformed by the renew
ing of your mind, that ve may prove
what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of Cod," was the
biblical verse which Doctor Johnson
used as his thome. He spoke of the
achievements of the fathom of the
nation in bringing it to the position
of masteiy which it now holds and of
the great changes in human life and
relationship made possible by an op
timism toward human nature
That ours is not yet a finished
country, bonnier, was pointed out
by Doctor Johnson, and he declared
that while it is undoubtedly the best
in which to lrse, it is not yet the best
possible. Strife between capital and
labor, political corruption, growing
distrust of other nations were men
tioned as some of the conditions - which
are dangerous to continued prosperity.
As an illustration of the potentialities
of the human lace, he outlined the
rise of the American negro Train a
condition of servitude to his present
state of prosperity and citizenship
"Much snore remains to be done en
the sphere of racial and international
relations," declared Doctor Johnson,
in closing, "and a seligion of pro
found optimism embodying a sympa
thetic understanding, tolerance and
confidence in fellow-man, regardless
of creed, race or nationality, is neces
sary:"

vath his trusty Henry recently, ashen
he heard a peculiar noise in the back
of the machine
Believing that the rear end ryas
causing the trouble, he approached
the posterior section of the "tlrvver"

mouse jump from the fender and ',Salk
nonchalently across the road.
After investigating for about a
quarter of an hour without success,
the bearer of ',nom ledge finally
reached the church without any
dent disasterous effects, and following
the sermon, started homeward.
He had driven about two squares
when he heard the same noise that
he hail listened to earlier in the morn

chology, he sought the cause Once
more a mouse scampered from the
lest
For the thud time the noise was
heard, and a third time the disgusted
'mass searched for the cause.
He was riding along for fully five
minutes, when he felt something mov

takes to tell it in, the professor was
losing all sense of propriety, while
he illustrated the mysteries of the

Next day, he found under the rear
