Christian association officials hope to
attain -their -goal of $3,500 when* the
annual finance campaign closes to
night.
Although the contributions up to

as high as the amount pledged at this

solicitors and contributors was ex
pected by P. S. €. A. officials. Un
less the quota is reached, a serious

activities this year will result.
To Issue Cards
Students who contribute over three
dollars will receive national member
,ship cards after November 1 at the
association office in Old Main, while
• those contributing a dollar or more :
will be. issued local membership cards
at that time. The quota set for the
student drive is only twenty-three
percent of the total budget this year,
seventy-seven percent being secured
from other sources.

'doesn’t, he is practically saying that
he thinks the association, and air it

CURTAILS EXHIBITS
Prof. Dickson Announces Fewer
Art Displays at College
For Coming Year
The number of art exhibits shown
at the College this year will be string
ently curtailed, -Prof. Harold E. Dick
son, of the architecture department,
announced Wednesday. Lack of fi
nances makes the move imperative
this year, Professor Dickson revealed.
Although twenty-three exhibits
were shown bn the third-floor of
Main -Engineering building, last year,
it will only be possible to bring a few
smaller displays here this year. This
was made clear by Professor Dickson
when he announced the architecture
department’s plans for. exhibits.
. May Exhibit Watcrcolors
-Only one.^exhibit,.’a showing.* of.
photographs;'; of-••Persian-lslomic.' ar
chite'cturV;' haT r been > ' , bo6kVd up to the
present, Professor Dickson said. This
collection, which will be shown at the
College in'January, is being sent here
by the American Federation of Arts,
in response to the recent interest
shown in Persian art.
Departmental and student exhibits,
however, will again be shown this
year. Annual ; circulating architec
tural exhibits such as the Scarab and
Intercollegiate 'Schools of’ .Architec
ture shows'are'also "scheduled. . If
sufficient funds'can be secured, an
exhibition of American watercolors
will be brought here later in the year.
. Although arrangements had been
completed by the department of ar
chitecture for an exhibit of American
paintings, in the first floor lounge of
Old Main for Alumni Homecoming
week-end, the plan was abandoned
because of improper facilities for
hanging-it. .

Colgate Writer Forecasts
5 Touchdowns for Maroon
Sports Scribe Expects Red Raiders To Score
Sixth Victory of Season
By TOM WALSH
Sports Editor. Colgate Maroon
Fresh from a string of decisive vic
tories and with its goal line still un
crossed, Colgate will meet Penn State
here tomorrow. Kerr’s team has been
steadily improving this season, and
reached the peak of its football form
against New York University in the
Yankee Stadium, grinding out a great
victory, 14-to-0.
Kerr’s team this year is one of the
best, if. hot the best in the East. If
Colgate opens up against the Nittany
Lion, there is no . telling the result.
On the other hand, the canny Scot
may. have his team play conservative
straight football.. Gambling on a
medium between these two'possibil
ities, we would venture a guess that
the Red Raiders of -the Chenango
should win their sixth game of the
season by five touchdowns.
If Kerr can keep his team keyed
to the same competitive pitch that he
has in the past two weeks, the Red
Raiders of the Chenango .may be slat
ed for their first undefeated season
in seven years. Colgate this year has
everything & football team needs. It
is not a team boasting individual stars
such as the Johnny Orsi’s, Len Maca
luso’s, • Les Hart’s and Johnny .Cox’s

of previous seasons. It is an eleven
man team, with each man carrying
his assignment to perfection.
Playing under the Warner system
for three seasons, Colgate has. just
blossomed out this season as a team
dependent on sheer speed and decep
tion. But behind this speed and de
ception is a firm basis of power. The
Maroon this year boasts a backfield
of magicians. Charlie Soleau, “Whit
ey” Ask, Jack Fritts, and Bob Rowe
are a quartet of' backs thoroughly
trained in handling the ball ks well
as being as fine a crew of runners
as Kerr has ever had.
The Colgate line is led by the 168-
pound Captain Bob “Kewpie" Smith,
a knifing guard, who leads interfer
ence, plays. a great defensive game,
and in spite of his light weight, can
more than carry his assignments
against two hundred pounders.
The Colgate tackles, Bart Ellis and
Ed Prondecki, are both players with
two years’ varsity, experience under
their belts; Kerris wingmen, Winnie
Anderson and Vern Lee carry three
years’ varsity experience. Lee' is a
senior and Anderson is playing his
second year as a junior. Both arc
fast, fine defensive players and hard
men to move. •, •
‘Collegian ’Provides
For Gathe Returns
Continuing its policy inaugurated
with the Harvard . game, the
Collegian will furnish a quarter
by-quarter account of the encoun
ter with Colgate tomorrow. Re
turns will. be telegraphed direct
from the field at Hamilton, N. Y.
The fifty-word accounts will be
posted on Graham’s 'window on
Allen street. No radio broadcast
of the game has been arranged.

28 Make Trip
You can name, almost any other
college or university team in the East
that would be more suitable to Hig
gins and the Lion gridders tomorrow.
Colgate, unbeaten and unscored upon
in five games this year, is picked to*
win by five or six touchdowns, and
only a miracle will disprove the ex
perts’ selections.
Tomorrow’s game shouldn’t appear
on the schedule—and it isn’t likely
that the New York state institution
will be included in the 1D33 program.
A schedule calling for games with
Harvard, Syracuse, Colgate, Sewanee,
and Temple in succession is nothing
short of suicide for a team of the
strength of Higgins’ eleven.
