COMPLETE CAMPUi COVERAGE Vol. 29, No. 7 Nittany Lion Gridders Defeat Lebanon Valley In First Game, 27-to-0 Harper, Kreizman; Lohr, Sigel Score as Team Conquers Annfyille Eleven—Reserves Playing During Last Half That “roar” that Coach Bob Higgins has been instilling into his Nittany Lion football squad came to life for the first time Saturday, and it wasn’t the roar that a lion cub would make in his 'first attempt. .... Four touchdowns and three extra points is a good-sized start for any football team, and just to demonstrate that all of their efforts weren’t concentrated on the offensive end of the game, the Lion gridders held Lebanon Valley scoreless, and were ahead, 27-to-0 when the fourth quarter ended. It ‘was a mighty encouraging first game, for it revealed the presence of an offense that is stronger than in past seasons, and a defense that if full of potential strength. Lebanon Valley isn’t thd best team that is list ed on the schedule this year, but the Annville eleven is powerful enough to. make a good many of its opponents delve deep into their bag of tricks to win. Varsity Scores 3 Times Three of the four touchdowns came in the first half while the Nittany first-stringers were in. action. The. fourth was scored by the second stringers in the. third quarter and only in the fourth quarter, when sec ond, third and fourth team players' were on the field as a team, did Leb anon Valley successfully defend its goal line. • 1 1 To halfback Tommy Harper went the honor of. registering; the. first . touchdown,for...the,.Blue. and..

Harper Leads Backs' ; Although he played only two quar ters, Harper was the leading ground gainer among the backs with 'Some * eighty-two yards in -thirteen tries at carrying the ball to his credit. Harry Sigel, sophomore halfback, was sec ond with forty-three yards, Harry Wantshouse gained twenty-seven in seven line plays, and “Shorty" Mike lonis sixteen yards, al though he was twice thrown for four yard losses. Sigel gave the crowd its best thrill when he covered thirty four yards in a single end run in the .third quarter. Defensively, the-Lions showed both strength and weakness. Twice Leb anon Valley pushed its way past the •Blue and White five-yard line, only to lose, the ball on downs, and statis tics for yards gained from scrimmage gave the Higgins crew a margin of (Continucdyn page three) CAST COMPLETED FOR COMEDY PLAY Players Select 4 To Take Part in Dads’ Day Farce—Will Repeat Commencement Show - Casting for “The Nut Farm,” com edy play to be repeated by-Penn State 'Players Saturday night as part of the Dads’ Day. program,' has, been completed with the replacement of four members of the original cast who are not in College this year. “THe.

WILL ADDRESS CONFERENCE William Rl Gordon, extension sociol ogist of the College, will address a meeting of the annuul American coun try life conference, to be held at Wheeling, W. Va., October H, 15, IG. Council To Decide I.F. Code Violations Reported violations of the rush ing code will be discussed at Inter fraternity council meteing in Room .318, Old Main, at 7:30 tomorrow night, it. was announced Monday by Herbert E. Longenecker ’33, presi dent of Interfraternity council. Only one violation has been of ficially reported to Prof. Sheldon C. Tanner, faculty member of the Interfrajternity council board of control. Ebenbach Advocates Major Changes for 1933 Rushing Present Code Characterized as Inadequate by Chairman of /. F. Council Committee Changes of major importance in the 1932 rushing code will be suggested to Interfraternity council by Harris Ebenbach ’33, chairman of the Inter fraternity council rushing committee. A general revision of the code to eliminate loopholes and conflicts, a silent period from the time first year r ing of organizd rushing, and classif rushees are the major changes adv< ) rushing chairman. ' j . “This year’s rushing code was un satisfactory because it was not spec ific .enough,” declared .Ebenbach. “There"wore too litany loopholes "in 'the ’ code, and in some cases one rule con* ’ dieted with another, causing more oi ’ less confusion among the fraternities.” “I would suggest a silent period on freshmen from the time they reach State College until organized rushing time begins, in order to eliminate the ‘lead-piping’ that always takes place during this period,” he continued. “In order to enforce this ruling, freshmen would be required to wear their dinks and name cards from the time they reach here, so that violations could easily be checked.” Prohibition of fraternity men from freshman council meetings conducted by campus groups on the first night of Freshman Week is another neces sity, Ebenbach pointed out. Those seeking to sign fir&J year men for dates made, it almost impossible for the counsellors to conduct the meet ings this year, he said. Sophomores who spent their first year at Mont Alto should be classed as a rushee here, according to the irushing chairman, who contended that they are just as new to Penn State and fraternity rushing as the fresh men. (Criticism of the policy of fratern ities taking dates in the second per iod when first period dates were avail able was also voiced by Ebenbach. Next year’s code should make it a violation to make any date in the second period when a first period date is available, he maintained. A more specific definition of rush ing is necessary, according to Eben bach. The present definition makes no provision for communication by telephone, automobile rides, and down town lunches at times when the fra ternity has no legal date with the rushee, and consequently conflicts with the silent periods,' he pointed out. “Although the fraternities lived up (Continued on page two) ENGINEERING EXTENSION TO HOLD MEETING HERE Faculty Members, Industrial Lenders To.
