Others, less c ,pert. are not as warmly interested in the number of goal posts torn down (or up) after the games, as in the reasons why dear old Polka U heat the knee to Hohinikus Already from Lehigh and Cornell and Ccatie and Ohio State and Rice and Har vard and Braun come protests and feverish inquiries, while the representative college nectspapers shed tears, swing axes, and curse audibly The only rea son that the Penn State Collegian has not Joined the chorus in the morgue is that it has not yet had the opportunity to do so But we are not quite ready to call in the coroner. Samehow we remember a certain day at Franklin Field. another at Archbold Stadium and still others at New Bearer Field. and the recollection of certain ,cores, 20-0, 0.0, 40-6, 13-13. will not easily fade V'e are not quite ready to call in the coroner, nor to shed tears, to swing a \ es, and to curse audibly. Instead we have a feeling to yell as no sane man would )cll, to toss up our hats (if any). and to congratulate the team, the captain and the coach But how, you ask, did Pittsburgh beat us, 30-0 7 ' True. set eral,of our best men were hurt, yet we he lm e that were those injured men capable of doing their best, Pitt mould have defeated any team in Mi. country that day at Pitt Stadium We believe that the University of Pittsburgh has mon the champion ship of the country, regardless of its success in the coming game with 'Stanford. But just the same we are determined to see that the latest Blue and Gold slaughter shall net er happen again In‘ariably alter defeats b!, the Panther. Penn State men burst forth in bleary condemnation. we do not recall a single instance of a calm and thorough •investigation instead are a half-dozen disgraceful! actioos by a tew disgruntled alumni, certain of whom are drawing pay checks from the College, and those students, who strangely enough, have never seen a Pitt game The cold fact is o‘crlooked—Just so long .is Penn State teams trek out to Pittsburgh after lour or five hard games away from home and two or three at New Beaver rield. just so long will the Lion return to State College, whipped If Penn State could assemble all its former stars on a single team and pla)—as it does neAt year—Lafayette, Pennsyl vania. Notre Dame on korogn fields, and George -Washington, Bucknell, and ',Sytkuseicae its home gridiron. , that Penn ,Stat'e 'team of sties, however great; would fall last as the present team has fallen; before a Pitt team that plays 'only one game awvv front home and includes in its schedule only three big games a year When Penn State plays Pitt, it encounters a team not only as strong as itself, but a team that ia inspired, a team that has been pointing for this ch ina. all season, a team that has been brought along step by step tor lust such a game, a team that plays always on its own field, a telly' that holds a v ist psy chological advantage It is not a question of foot ball It is a problem of mental and physical atti tudes. Contrast Penn State's position When it goes doun to Franklin Field, it is greeted by a warm, favorable sentiment; when it steps into Pitt Stadium it is met with Jeers and howls From the first min ute to the last, three or four thousand schoolchildren, seated behind the goal posts, razz every effort of the. Lions this hostile atmosphere is not without its' effect Again, the Penn State team reaches the climes. of its season in the middle of October—on Alumni Day Alter that, there is an inevitable letdown The eleven has reached its climax with its biggest game still ahead The hard games behind have already taken their toll. The team is weary, mentally and pits sically And then it must go to Pittsburgh to, meet its supposedly greatest foe Is rt any wonder it returns licked' Why, the biggest gain Glenn Kill inger ever made against a Blue and Gold team is fourteen yards , And Harry Wilson against Pitts burgh nes, er advanced the ball. in a single try, farther than the yards! But not even the warmest Pitt rooter will argue that Pitt would have duplicated its triumphs had those games been played on New Beaver Field We would like to suggest that Penn State meet Pittsburgh on a neutral field one year and at Pitts: burgh the next Such an arrangement should be welcome• for even Pitt has realited the tremendous advantage it holds over Penn State under the presat circumstances. Why could not Penn State and Pitt' clash at Franklin Field and at Pitt Stadium, if not on Thanksgiving Day then on the Saturday before :Thanksgiving? And in the meantime something should be done to shift Ole Alumni I) iv game to NoVl.llhei 1929 INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAMPIONS! 1927 Winning intercollegiate championships seems to base become a habit with the Penn State cross-coon try team. So much so that the mertige bystander in apt to regard the feat as en everyday occurrence and continue inertly on his way It was last fall that harriers representing Penn State. first demonstrated to the sporting world than they were past masters at the art of letting hill and dale pass rapidly under foot, by captut tag the i inter collegiate cross-country championclup Bill Cos not only won the indisidual title but set a new record in accomplishing' that feat The Blue and White run ners were the means of bringing additional glom and publicity to their Alma Mater. A year passed on its way. but the intercollegiate cross-country title was retained as Captain Bill Cos again led the 1127 edition of Penn State harriers to 1 the title. In capturing the laths duel honors lor the' J second time, the Nittany leader took his place beside the only two other runners who hare repeated a title winning performance since the competition first started more than twenty years ago The Penn State freshmen cross-country team had, a few hours earlier. carried off top-honors for the yeasling harrier title 'with Detwiler winning the indisidual price The day had brought a clean sweep to the performers fi om the Nittany Valles Again glory and honor had come to Penn State , .
