NITTANY SCORING DRIVE Blue arid White Makes Second Half Determined March To 6-Inch Stripe By GEORGE A. SCOTT '34 Coach Bob Higgins, Captain "Spike” Collins and the entire Nittany Lion football squad are for longer football games—at least one minute longer. Saturday the regulation sixty-min ute game was just about one minute too short for .their liking, for the referee’s .whistle ending the game cut short a Lion scoring march that seem ed certain to produce a touchdown which would have tied the score at 12-to-12, and. possibly have given the Lions a 13-to-12 triumph over Syra cuse. The Orange won the game, 12-to-6, but the glory goes to Captain "Spike” and his mates for their exhibition of fight and ability that missed by a hair of carrying them to victory. The ball rested a scant six inches from the Syracuse goal line, with a pair of downs remaining'to push-it across, when the game ended. Orange Scores Early It was the inability % of the Nittany eleven to function properly in the first quarter that cost it the game. Both Orange touchdowns came in this , period, along with seven first downs to none for the Lions, and a total of one hundred and fifty-five yards gain ed from scrimmage by Syracuse to a mere, twelve] by_ the Blue_and White • aggregatidhr ’' The tide of battle shifted after that first quarter, and it shifted very much to the Lions’ favor. Syracuse made seven .first downs in the first period, and only seven -more the remainder of the game, while the Nittany offense rang up eleven in the last three quar ters. The last quarter was one for those Alumni who talk of the "good c<l days” to carry back in their, minds and replay for those back home. Bill Lohr started things off with a beau tiful forty-seven-yard return of Stark’s punt to put the ball on the Orange thirty-nine-yard line. Tommy Harper scampered twenty three yards more on the next play, but was injured when he was brought down. Morrison took his place, and after a five-yard penalty, picked up *eight yards to put the ball on the fourteen-yard mark. Here the Lion attack faltered, Rind with Dick Fishcl, Moran and> Stark carrying the ball, Syracuse drove to within ten yards of a touchdown when "Doc” Conn stepped forward to re cover-Fishel’s'fumble. The final thrill came late in the quarter. Taking the ball on their own thirty-five-yard line, the Lions, with Morrison, Boring, Conn and Slusser featuring the attack, marched down the field to the onc.foot'mark. Then came.the-final whistle, Syracuse play ers bounded toward their bench, the Nittany gridders walked disconsol ately toward theirs, and the crowd of (Continued on page three) HONORARY GROUP BEGINS MONTHLY FORUM SERIES Dr. II- F.

EDMONDS SPEAKS IN CHAPEL SUNDAY Philadelphia Lawyer Sees Renewed' Family Interest Resulting From Depression Renewed interest in the family ns an important factor in life was de clared to be the greatest benefit of the present depression by Doctor Franklin S. Edmonds at chapel ser vices in Schwab auditorium Sunday morning. Dr. Edmonds, a lawyer in Phila delphia, explained that when men lost their jobs, they came back to the home for help, and that many young people who had left the family circle to go “on their own,” had returned quickly when times became hard and jobs few. This return put a stop to the rapid disintegration of the home that was tuking place during the pleasure seeking boom years before 1929, the chapel speaker added. ‘‘Saint Paul’s philosophy that one must learn to live happily both in times of abundance and times of abase ment” was declared by the Philadel phian to be, “the necessary adapta tion of people to really be happy even in times of depression. It was Saint Paul’s realization that there was ‘something bigger’ than just seeking the mere incidentals of life that made him able to withstand the great hard ships that faced him," he said. Communistic tendencies in today’s philosophies were denounced by the speaker ns stilling initiative. He stat ed that in a few eases the system would be of benefit, but that in the majority of instances, the idea of a set job for life would make the labor er very dissatisfied, even though all his- physical wants were taken care ol through the plan.
