WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Ir complete hainiony mith the drab and cheerless
slit mei bead, Penn State's 1930 football season came
to r close last Thursday afternoon Although the Lions
ay huse played better football against the Panthms
than at any othei time this season, the fact remains
that they %sole beaten by an oidinary Pitt Wain Mote
in-portant than this is the fact that it was the fouith
maim defeat of the yearn much the two othei big fames
tcsulting in tie , cot es Victim les oter thice mina op
onentsnn, e the only entries on the right side of the
ledge,.
But before the season opened, almost e‘eryone be
lieved that Penn Stale was destined to base one of
its best tennis of recent years. Many felt that this
%derar eleven ssould place Penn State back upon its
formes pedestal in the football uoild
Soon after the Lafayette game, mhispet lags were
rmser , about that the N,ttany Lions were in lot a pool
3, at Folio, mg the Colgate debacle, the chni us increased
Mutant and students began to ads ance reasons for the
defeat. As Saturday followed Satut day, crrticmm gr ew
he Col LeciAs seas the recipient of many comments, GI al
and written, all advancing sonic theory lot the con
tinued slump These and any cditotial comment were
withheld in the belief that it mould do more halm than
good if released dining the season Noes that the games
are over—but while memories of the season ale stiil
flesh—is the time for discuicon on the flame of foot
ball at Penn State
The varied nature of the questions and comments
1 loves that no one has thewame ansuei Lot last season's
showing nt the 'nine solution to pievent its possible
Although questions asked on the ninny angles are
numerous, they may be boiled down to sixteen which
hone been ‘ciced with greatest frequency by students
and alumni. Summarized they are as follows
I Did Penn State, when it abolished its system of
nthletic scholarships entirely, go too abruptly from
ere extt erne to the other?
2 Are eve too far ahead of the times in not sub
salwing out athletes' If so, should INe take o "back
-I.ard" step or scull for other colleges to catch 141'
3 Is it tr ue that eve can't keep good freAman

leges'
4 Is the practice at using coaches nlici are alumni

5. Is the coaching system in use out-of-date 9
6 Is the coaching staff competent ,
7 Is sufficient co-opmation green athletic author
liter Icy the Ailministiation en the scatter of equipment
expenses, and the like,
8 Does a celtain group of el usading alunri, not
crnnected officially a ith the College, control nor athletic
I °hey'
9 Arc the alumni, as a UllOlO, behind the learn
to as great a degree as at other institutions'
10 Is Penn State, under its present program, out
of itt class' , Ale ue a ininoi team and as such should MC
1 'ay only minor colleges^
11. Should toe come to accept defeat willingly in
oidei to keep playing class A teams ,
12 Ic the , thedule always am nnged in the best
It Have the students as a whole become indolent
and lazy? Do fev.in participate in athletics 01 any form
eveimse than comedy?

16. Ai e the days of championship Penn State

fact? Do we expect too much?
The COLLEGIAN does not attempt to answer any of
these queries. It takes no stand at the pi event on any
questions involsed. But at does believe that Penn State's
football future is student property and that some defi
bite foiecnst of this future should be made known to
all. What will be the Penn State teams of tomorrow,
of five, ten Yeats from today? Whete do we go from
here?
