"THE CHAMPION: MR. PENN STATE"
There arc two ways to celebrate a notable victory
The one is by a lousing, over-enthusiastic demonstration,
and the other is by accepting the final result as a foregone
conclusion. It is significant that Penn State chose the
less-demonstrative any after tier boxers had shown matkel
superiority over het rivals and her guests during the sixth
annual intercollegiate boxing tournament. A Penn Stale
victory was not unexpected, but a decidedly ono-sided
ti oniph was unexpected. t l P,
Contrary to predictions, the Navy champions torte
nothing more, nor less, than runners-up after the semi
final round of the thrilling spectacle. Navy's last oppm
tunity to retain the thrice-won title was practically lost
Satin day afternoon when Steve Hamas, The ➢tan of the
Hour, hammeied into submission Moon Chapple, heavy-
weight hope of the Alidshipmen. Julia Epstein made
victoly certain m the first bout that night. Captain Ante
Wolf! and Steve Hauts turned the meet into a rout by add
mg two mole clowns to the Penn State collection.
To the championship tinnvirate, the COLLEGIAN ex
tends its congratulations; to Coach Leo Houck, its hand;
and to the entire team, its many thanks. The Penn State
team, to a man, was a potential title-holder Two sons
went down fighting in the finals, two others, in the semi
finals. The defeated lost only to the champions. A more
pelted showing is next to impossible.
One other congratulatory wold, this to the student
spectators But one or two outbursts marred the week
end. The closeness of the struggle and the tensity of the
battle justified this release of pent-up emotions. More
over, the COLLEGIAN is proud of the officials who daected
the big show in such an able manner. Visitors to the Col
lege acme impressed, we believe, not only by our boxes,
but by all that is Penn State, by all Penn State that is
revealed on such a week-end.
In conclusion, the COLLEGIAN confirms its pre-tourn,
silent belief that ueek-end visitors, whether competitors
in the ring as not, tome given all they sought. All but the
tiophy symbolic of the championship. That ...
The Champion • Mr. Penn State
Evidently Harvard has all the brains Invitations
amnia(' by officials of that institution to Yale, Piinceton,
and Erimbridge'university, England, to participate in Hie
annual inteicollegiate brain contest which Harvard won
last yeas, were not accepted.
Several schools in the southern part of New York hnue
united in offering courses at a nominal fee to all com
muters who role on the Pacific Electric railway. In oiler
to impiovo Ins mind the student who commutes from- n
on Ag lu ll to another immediately following in Old
Mining building might v,elcome such an innovation But
if such a system wale adopted the Penn State commuters
might go the way of the railway passengers who advanced
so rapidly in wisdom and wealth that they graduated from
the commuters' class and left the train empty.
EDUCATION AND EARNING POWER
If one were to place faith in a statement made recently
by Di. Harold F. Clink, professor of education at Columbia
univelsity, then the college student would profit immeas
urably by stowing all text books in the attic and grabbing
the nearest rack and shovel. In a report on the economic
effects of education he insists not only that persons ,who
are earning high wages would be receiving them without
the help of education, but that college training often de
creases the actual raining power of the individual. 4.1
bleak prospect for any student, to be sure.
But a ray of hope shines forth, following the deluge
of disapprobation thnt Dr. Clark's statement has brought
down upon him. Only a few days after the report appeal
ed, one of his own univelsity colleagues, Dr. William C.
Bagley, cruse to voles loud disapproval. Education is
largely responsible for American prosperity, the latter
asserts. The more persons can be sent to school the better
off the country will be, he said, predicting that in the near
future the great bulk of work will bo of a "professorial
type." And now, Harvey S. Firestone and other leading
industualists of the country hove lined up beside Dr. Bag
ley in opposing Dr. Clark's views. Strange to say Dr.
Clash has attracted no exponents to his cause; apparently
he stands alone! Judging from the numerous howls of
protest one must assald the verdict of the controversy to
the opponents and not to Dr. Clark. The consensus of
opinion would seem to provo that a person still gains ma
terially Dom a college education.
_President
_VI -President
"A college education is likely to make a man too
pensive and hesitant for the task of money-making ashen
doting and courage are prime necessities," Dr. Clark de
elates in his report.
The only justification for such an assertion lies in the
supposition that Dr. Clark speaks fmm his milisidual ex
perience, which could be only too meagre for a sweeping
statement including all college graduates. One hesitates
to believe that four years of study in college decrease any
inherent initiatise at aptitude for risk-taking. No one
can deny that collegiate training broadens the scope of
knowledge of any student. In addition, if a nelson were
naturally fitted for a cettain inofession, how could Mullet
education take assay this ability? With his ',valet per
spective of life would it not be logical to assume that the
student faces the problem of money-making mote fear
lessly than his brother who never traveled beyond the
grades' , If he does not, then the college as an_instdution
has not justifiable reason for being. However, one can
feel certain that no cause for ninon exists, since such on
army of dissenters has mobilized to wago an all-inclusis e
war on Dr. Clark's disturbing report
But after all has not Dr. Clark imputed too low a
motive to the thousands of students now in American col
leges and universities! Do all of these students attend
their chosen institution solely for the pm pose of enhancing
their chances of amassing a million dollars? If such were
the undolying season, one critic objects, would not the
student have stepped directly into the industrial or busi
ness worlds following graduation from high school, or even
before that time? One wonders.
"Representative Tilson urges Yale to install course in
practical politics"—Headline.
Just ono case whale Penn State already Inas a decided
advantage
The 50 co-eds enrolled at the Unilersity of Detroit
were forbidden to converse with any of 2,000 male students
on the campus by a recent decree of President John P
McNichols.
If they caused but half the commotion that the female
section of the student than that sits ducctly behind the
speaker in Sunday chapel here, these is justifiable season
for the edict.
ANOTHER MAN'S GOAL
At infrequent intervals during the life of any man
there comes a noteworthy day The day may be notable
foi any one of many reasons. The reasons range from
election to high positions in high school and college rank.,
to such events in later life as business achievement,
liege, or possibly the only son. Saturday seas one of those
days in Alb° Wolf's college career. By successfully de
fending his boxing title against Paul Moret, Navy finalist
in the middleweight division, Saturday night, the Lion
captain brought to a close one of the most brilliant college
boxing careen on record.
As a matter of fact, Alhe's mark of twenty-eight vic
tories without a defeat is believed to be without precedent,
and thole is no boxer in intercollegiate circles now who
can approach his enviable record. Allie has donned the
gloves for Penn State fel the last time; it is said that he
has definitely abandoned the ring to turn his attention and
athletic prowess to baseball alone. His ambition is one
day to reach the major leagues.
In Ins fight for that goal the cou.scratx ,wishes' 4int
luck It compliments hint on his achievement; and, 'as ta
parting word, it points to his brilliant record as the Acme
of perfection, and as a mark for college boxers of the pre
sent and future to shoot at

For Conch Houck, Leo the Lion hearted, because he has overcome sonic

For Captain Allie Wolff, thrice lung of the middleweights, bcCause he
has fought three yews of varsity mauling without being hit more than a half

For Julius Epstein, lead-off flash, for Tuning the surprise of the enti e

For Steve Hams, versatile athlete, who is above all else a fighter and a
fine spoitsman; because he arose when most men would have fallen and lived
when most men slanted to die. He may have our share of the college—am
time.
For the Penn State team, because it spilled dope like a new waitress
spills soup, because it never once stopped fighting, and never stopped hoping.

Several columns ago (three, in fact) Daniel sot out upon the dangerour,
and often fatal, enterprise of making a few predictions about the Intereol
legiates. Despite the fact that Navy had emerged from the regular season
undefeated and that Western Maryland was a constant threat a ith her two
suosequent champions, Daniel made the prediction (not any too cock-surely,
of course) that each one of Penn State's unities would score, as fat as points
were concerned.
