With Co-op coaches working caertime,'"at least a dozen theories evp/aining the Bucknell defeat hare been devised by the demented, mentors. None, however, has olfeied the supposition that he himself might have helped smothei the signals with the reckless mob that pushed its may to the seiy edge of the gridiron boundary yelling Ince childish maniacs. not Unlikely that the backfield strategist was somewhat hampered and worried, If not completely out done in the matter of barking, by the gang of sideline Pests. If advice or written prohibition lull not keep these few in the stands xhere they belong, physical force should be rudely applied. Some people never learn, even in college THANKS TO BUCKNELL! Thanks must be offered to Bucknell, not for the defeat inflicted, to be sure, but for the splendid co-opmatlon a rms,' to impressing Saturday's spectators with the neces sity of checking Amendment No. 2 with a fmornblo X It is doubtful whether every college in the State would hase been so unselhsh ns to make public her support of an institution against which she competes not only m tho athletic field but also in the field of enrollment, Considering the proximity of Penn State to Bucknell, as well as the overwhelming competition a State institu tion can oder, the Lewisburg college is deserving of all the more gratitude A successful passage of the amend ment, as we see it, means a greater and better Penn State, which, in thin, might even turn prospects of Bucknell into students of this college. At any rate, the Bucknell display was noble, consid erate and all the more Impressive because it was a plea made by a competing college lot its competitor. Penn State hopes that it may seine day be in a position to se torn a favor Until me can snore bur gratitude by action, no can only say, "Thanks, Buckbell, thanks" Too much authority in the classroom by menthols 01 the teaching plofession is narrowing instead of expanding the intelligence and knowledge of the college student. Primary grades hose been passed. Surely it is no longer necessary to impose pet beliefs and teachings upon stud ents wain mild dogmatism. And Penn State has too few leal authotthes whose swots can be taken vetbatim and swallowed .A.sidant Editor Marg:lnaltor Mnocotte Editor _Areatiate Ediwr SATURDAY.

Too years ago_last winter I went into the Red Logo gold fields in Canada It was a tough trail from Hudson, ,over 140 miles of snow and leo. There were fourteen of us on the trail going in, and frequently at night alien Booted around a big camp fire, some one would ask me for a pipeful of Edgeworth. These Canadian boys sure like our Edgeworth. In four *woke' time I ran .out of Edgeworth I was glad to get 'most any old tobacco. • One day, hoe ever, I dropped in to Dad Emu n's tent, a 72-year-old pros pector, and seeing a can of Edgeworth on an improvised table, back there 150 irides from the "steel," 1 perked up at once, saying, "Dad, I'm plum out of tobacco—how's damsen for a pipe ful'" "Help yourself," he said. So path= my heavy duty pipe from my pocket, I loaded it with Edgeworth, gt thackin e g least bit of alt is so tihtl arise' y that I couldn't et I excused myself for a moment, and stepped outside to remove about three pipefula to put in my pouch. Dad stepped out, saying, 'You're noise than any Scotchman / ever saw" Then I confessed. I told lain what happened to my Edgeworth—that was just , dying' for a smoke, and he understood right away. Ile said, "Boy, Edgeworth ss mighty nearer pn these parts, but ,I reckon I can spare what's left of that can Help yourself " You can just bet your last nickel that I guarded this Edgeworth with extreme care until I got beck to the ,'sack" Yours very truly, C.
