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.. White,
the junior , cutting through left* tackle
for; a yard and a half to.'cross the
goal line just six minutes after the
opening kickoff. Lou Kreiznian in
tercepted a forward pass apd ran
twenty-five yards, for the- second six
pointer, Hairy Sigel garnered the
third arid Bill Lohr the-fourth.
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

NEW SCHOLARSHIP
PLAN ANNOUNCED
10 Percent of 3 Upper Classes
Eligible for 13 Carnegie,
3 While Ajwards
Application by needy students who
are . eligible to receive the awards is
the outstanding feature of a new plan
for distributing sixteen White and
Carnegie scholarships aggregating
$1,760, according to Dr.’ William S.
Dye, jr., chairman of the Senate com
mittee on academic standards.
Ten percent of each of the three
upper classes ranking first in scholar
ship will be eligible, Dr. Dye said.
Lists of the eligible , students may be
seen on the bulletin board on the sec
ond floor of north Liberal Arts build
ing. Any eligible student may secure
a • copy of the application form in
Room 216 of that building. '
Applications Due October 15
The application form, properly fill
ed out, must|be/returned Dye.
before t&at*it may'be
sont to the applicant’s parent or guar
dian for attestation. . When- the at
tested applications are returned to
the committee, the students’ records
will be investigated and the awards
will be announced.
Thirteen' Louise Carnegie scholar
ships, awarded .to four members of
each pi. the two upper, classes, and five
sophomores,' are valued at $lOO each.
A $2OO senior award, a $l5O junior
prize, and a $lOO sophomore scholar
ship constitute the , John W. White
awards.
Action taken by the Board of Trus
tees last year on recommendation of
the Student Board and the committee
on Academic Standards is responsible
for the new plan for awarding the
scholarships, Dr. Dye said. Prior to
this year nominations for each award
were made by the respective student
bodies of the several classes to which
list of candidates one additional nomi
nation for each position was added by
the dean of each school. "The commit
tee on academic standards made their
choice 'from these candidates, subject
to the approval of the President of
the College and the ratification of the
Senate. „
Fewer 4 O’Clock Classes
This Year, Bissey Declares
Only 8.5 Percent of Student Body Has Last
" Hour—Electives, Laboratory Courses
Hinder Final Elimination
Almost complete elimination of four
o’clock'classes has been effected in the
College this semester, according to
Cyrus V. D. Bissey, College scheduling
officer, who has arranged class sched
ules for this semester to enable all
but 8.5 percent of the students en
rolled in College to escape classes
from four until five o’clock in the af
ternoon.
“We are as close to reaching the
goal of no four o’clock classes as we
ever will be,” declared Mr. Bissey in
announcing the percent of students
who are scheduled for the late class
hour. “Long laboratory neriods, a
wide'variety of electives Offered in
some of the courses, and courses
which require a large number of
hours, make it impossible to elimin
ate four o’clock classes for a certain
number of students.?
The percentage, of students 'with
four o'clock classes '.is 10.6 percent
less than •that v of the first semester
last year, when 19 percent of the stu
dents enrolled had four o’clock hours.

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.

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

I national and local fraternities pledged 453 men at the dose of the

Four hundred and twenty-four accepted bids from national
social and professional fraternities and twenty-nine were pledged

■accepting bids this year exceeds

three, only 370 accepting bids at
