BIG CELEBRATION
ONCESCHEDULED
HEREPENNA.DAY
Pennsylvania Day, now known
chiefly as the occasion of the annual
fall houseparties, was once a celebra
tion, second only to. Commencement in
importance.
“Starting on Friday and ending
Monday morning, State College was
thc'mecca for thousands of visitors,”
says the/1921 La Vic.in describing
Pennsylvania Day then.' ‘“Early Sat
urday morning the customary review
was held and the cadet regiment
showed visitors just how Penn State
was preparing for future wars.” .
•Fraternity houseparties have not
always occurred on Pennsylvania Day,
however. An alUCollcge -Pennsyl
vania Day dapee was held in the Ar
' mory annually during and -before the
war. '
In 1913 and before, the exercises
took the form of a.Founders* Day ob
servance, and the governor often was
present to. preside. In -addition, ft
/‘County Fair,” featuring''wheels, of
. fortune, chance -boards,' and other car
nival effects,, was he|d by the School
of Agriculture for several- years on
Pennsylvania Day.

Sewanee Writer .Predicts

Says Success of Lion Offense Against Strong
' Southern Line May Determine Winner
l Sports Editor of TI
, When the .Sewanee Tigers arrive in
State College to do battle with-an
other member of the cat family, the
Nittany Lions.of Penn. State, fur is
certain to fly in numerous directions.
Although neither of the teams Jiave
enjoyed a highly successful season
thus far, the tilt gives every indica
tion' of developing into a hard-fought
and thrilling battle, if. for no reason
other than it is an intersections! con
test. between eastern and southern!
football. * . I
I have been asked to hazard a pre/
diction of. some, sort on this, game,
but it seems impossible as we here, at
Sewanee really know nothing about I
the strength of the Lions other than;
the fact that they have been defeated)
by several strong'eastern teams. This ;
is also true of Sewanee. The Tigers
have lost to .South Carolina, 7-to-3,
after having led and, outplayed the
Gamecocks ' for- 56 'niinutes. They
have lost to Kentucky, 18-to.O; to
Florida/ 19-to-0; and to- Louisiana
State University last. Saturday, 38-
to-0. ,‘Our victories are over South
western and Murfreesboro Teachers
College.’ ;
This will be the third invasion of
the East by.a Sewanee football team.

BURRY ANNOUNCES
MILITARY BALL AS
COLLEGE FUNCTION
Group Plans To Hold Officers’
Dance in. Recreation Hall.
- On December 9
WILL ESTABLISH FUND
OF AFFAIR’S PROCEEDS
McClain v ’33* Named by Student
Colonel for. Committee
Vacancy Position
Military Ball on December 9 will
definitely be an all-College dance*
William C. Burry ’33, student colonel,
announced after a committee meeting
Wednesday night;
The' affair will be the first all-CoI-
Jege function ever attempted before
the Christmas holidays. To avoid
congestion in the second semester so
cial calendar, the dance committee
decided to move up the annual affair
which in previous years has been held
in February.
To Establish Fund
Contrary to a previous announce
ment, proceeds of the dance will not
be turned over to the student loan
fund .this year. Because- of a slight
deficit incurred in conducting the ball
last year/ it has been decided to es
tablish a permanent fund from pos
sible profits this year.
As the Military Ball is the only all-
College dance which is not backed fi
nancially by the - interclass budget,,
the new fund was necessary to insure
the permanency of the affair as a
campus institution, Burry said. It is
planned to hold the ball in Recreation
hall.
Named For Vacancy
Richard M.~ McClain ’33 has been
appointed to' fill a vacancy on, the
dance; committee. / Detailed. arrange/

act as treasurer.for the function.
Joel W. Salter '33 will arrange for
the orchestra, and Omar K. Hill ’33
and George H. Grabe ’33 will take
care of the decorations. Catering and
checking will be under the direction
of Shuman H. Moore ’33 and Charles

■Along with Roy L. Sordon ’33, Phil

the supervision of McClain, Grabe,
and Joseph H. Hartswick '34.
j JUNIORS ELECT CHRISTINE
Fae E. Christine was ’elected vice
president of the junior women’s class
• in an election held in McAllister Hall
lobby last Wednesday. Miss Chris
tine polled thirty-one votes to seven
teen for Berneice H. Jarck and six
teen for Helen F. Tananis, to take the
place of Marjorie M. Curtin who did
not return to College this, year.
ie Sewanee ‘Purple’
turned home on the short end of a
20-to-O score. The Univeysity of
Pennsylvania was the other oppori.
ent of the Tigers and they too, sent
the Purple team back to the moun
tains on the small end of the score.
This time, the chances of a Sewanee
victory are fairly bright and many,
seem to believe that the Tigers will
take advantage of this opportunity
to partially avenge the defeats hand
ed them in past- years- by eastern
teams.'. ' •
The forward wall of the Tigers will
, prove’ the worth of the Penn State
team. If they are able to penetrate
, the 'Sewanee'line, their chances of
winning will be greatly improved. It
seems that southern teams possess a
more powerful defense than 1 do the j
lines of eastern schools and that j
eastern'schools have more punch in
their offense. Sewanee will have a
fine line to throw against the Lions
Saturday and it seems to me that the
,result, will be decided by thc effective
ncss in which the Penn State offense
shows up against this line.
One thing the fans at the game
can rely, on—that .is that they will
sec a team which will fight' until’the
last minute of play and after all,
isn’t that what we all go to see foot
ball games for?.

Establishing football relations with a southern university
for the first time since 1925, a revamped Nittany Lion eleven wilj
meet the University of the South in the annual Pennsylvania Day
attraction on New Beaver Field at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
- Injuries, the bugaboo that Coach Bob Higgins has had to face

Kane and Rosenberg, both let

Lions Meet Opponents
Rich in Tradition,
Background
The schedulq-makers might have
looked far and wide for a more color
ful opponent for the Nittany Lion
gridders tomorrow, but it’s doubtful
whether they .could have made a bet
ter selection than the University of
the South, or Sewanee as it is better
known through the South.
Known as the “Oxford of America,” ;
Sewanee was founded in 1857, com
pletely destroyed by Northern armies
during the Civil War/ and reopened
in 1868. The University is located
nt Sewanee, Tcnn., hence its familial*
title,- “Sewanee.” 1
Adoption of Oxford customs early (
.in.its history is cause for the Univer
sity to be, known as the “Oxford of
America/^Members. s of.^the^, junior.
Und’“sehior**classis, all stu
dents, and every member of the fac
ulty wear the Oxford cap and gown
in all classes and in chapel, while the
university administration is modelled
directly from that of the English in-‘
stitution.
Claiming an enrollment of less than
four hundred, Sewanee is situated
.high on the Cumberland plateau, half/
way between Nashville and Chat/
1 tanooga, Tenn. There are no busif
j ness houses, paved streets, or con
crete sidewalks on the ten-thousand
acre campus, the natural beauty being
■preserved" in • ;flagstopfi_-.ahd *-gravel
walks and winding paths.
Sewanee was the first southern in
stitution to invade the East for an
intersectional football game, losing
to Princeton back in 1909. Tomor-

I Anderson, who shared the- cen
ter duties with Zawacki last
iVear, will start at the snapper

i“Ring” Cole, who has been on
;the crippled list for the past two
i weeks, may return to the start
ing- lineup at left tackle, al
though Berry looms as a pos
sbility for the assignment.
Sophomores To Start

against Colgate. last Saturday, are
.scheduled, to start at the_,
Is ts/'-wiHT'Bill Lotir' stationed at*

likely to see action before the end of
the game.
.Sewanee's grid squad will arrive
here at 9:30 o’clock tomorrow morn
ing, after nearly a two-day train
iride that began yesterday afternoon.
Despite their crushing defeat at the
hands of Louisiana State University
last week, the Tennessee Tigers prom
ise to be just as formidable as any
of the live opponents that the Nittany
Lions have faced this year.
Advice received, by the Lion coach
ing' start from the South warns
against any over-confidence that the
1 Nittanymcn might have'. Touted as an
exceptional defensive team, Sewanee
has gained the reputation throughout
the Southern Conference this year of
possessing n wonderful fighting spirit
that brooks, ill for its opponents.
Tied for Eighth Place
! Sewanee finished tn a tic for eighth
place among the twenty-three mem
bers of the Southern Conference last
year, an achievement of no mean cal
ibre. South Carolina eked out a 7-to*
3 triumph over the Tigers and a week
later came North .to run roughshod
over Villanova’s eleven, while Florida,
with another powerful club, was held
scoreless until the last quarter by the
fighting Mountaineers.

LIONS HOLD LEAD
IN PENNSYLVANIA
DAY ENCOUNTERS
; (.The odds favor the Lions tomorrow
if past Pennsylvania Day scores are
any indication. Penn State has won
nine, tied two, and lost two of the
last thirteen houseparty games.
However, no victories have been
chalked up since 1928, the Lions los
ing to Colgate last year, playing a
scoreless tie with Syracuse in 1930,
and bowing to Buckncl! in 1929. The
1928 contest with George Washington
University ended 50-to-0 in favor of
Penn State, while a l‘.Lto-13 tie was
played with New York University in
1927.
“Buckncl! .... succumbed to the
agility of the fleet Johnny Rocpke in
the Pennsylvania Pay battle of 192 G,
9-to-0,” says the l.a Vic. Michigan
State, Carnegie Tech, and Georgia
Tech fell before the Lion onslaught
in the three previous years.
Carnegie Tech again took two set
backs in 1922 and 1921, the days of
Joe Bcdenk, Mike Palm, and Harry
Wilson. In the 1920 game Charlie
Way led the drive which defeated the
University of Nebraska. 20-lu-0, while
Lehigh was subdued, 2t)-to-7, in the
1919 contest. .
