SCOI*T ’34 Two warriors of the animal kingdom, a victory-hungry Nit tany'Lion, and a Tennessee Tiger, just as'greedy for. a .triumph, put on the football show on New Beaver Field Saturday, and it was the'Lion’s day to feast. A sharp-clawed'attack coupled with an alert fighting spirit made the battle very much a-Lion, affair, and the end came with the Tiger slinking back to its home in Sewanee with the scar of an 18-to-0 defeat cut into its hide. . Three touchdowns, every one of them the result of alert play ing on the part of the Blue and White representatives, were suf ficient to wreck whatever hopes; the Tiger of Sewanee or the Uni versity of the South entertained regarding the . game. Harry Sigel,. "Barrell” Morrison and Captain "Spike”' Collins crossed the goal line for the Higgins coached eleven to insure victory over the Dixieland team and to give the Lion its first taste of Victory since the opening game more than a month ago. ■lt was a good show that the two feline jungle beasts staged. Sewanee’s Tiger made it such with its desperate, stubborn de fense to counteract a - superior, offense that the Lion lays claim' to, that the result was sixty min utes of hard-fought football ’Breaks’ Clinch Game . Dame Fortune was smiling on the Lions Saturday,, allbeit they played a brand of football that tfould have de- served-, a .-.triumph... regardless . of •.."Breaks',”; A recovered kickoffrat the waneefumble, and an intercepted forward-pass were the “breaks” that clinched the game. The first play of the game started the Nittany gridders off to success. With Sewanee receiving, thp Lion kickoff sent the ball to the visitors' thirty-yard line and .“King” Cole wasJohnny-on.the-spot to snare it for the Lions. ■ • • It took less than four! minutes to punch through the Tennessee line for the' touchdown, with sophomore Harry Sigel carrying the ball over on a wide end run around the right wing. Two first downs preceded the touchdown play arid, two -more followed before the quarter ended. Cole Recovers Fumble The next break came early in the second quarter when Cravens, Se wance safety man, fumbled a quick kick to give “King” Cole an' oppor tunity to recover the hall on the Tiger thirty-yard. line. Skemp, Lohr. and Morrison stepped the ball up to the four T yard mark and Morrison went around right end for the touchdown. - Captain “Spike” Collins was the hero of the third break. With less than three minutes to play, the Lion leader gathered ir\ a Sewanee forward pass and travelled forty-two yards to the Sewanee goal,line with nary- an opponent's hand touching him. Sewanee scored only once and ap proached-scoring territory on.only one other occasion. The Southerners showed the effects of their all-night train ride from- Washington, D. C., the previous night, for they were sluggish for the most part and only on rare occasions did their backs show anything like, speed• and driving power.:. , ' ' Defensively, however, .they left little to be. desired.. .Four times'in ; the second half the Lions drove to or • past the Sewanee twenty.yard line, ■ and each time found the visitors : strong enough to prevent a score.

Warnock. “The -swing towards Roosevelt in the country at large has I ,not affected studorit votes ,to any great extent,” the dean added. “The Roosevelt sen timent. is fundamentally a desire for a change, and change comes slowly .to conservative groups such as Amer ican student bodies.” Conservatism among .students is caused-by-the present dislike-for ex tremists of any sort, Dean Warnock believes. The average student is just as much • opposed to the militarist as he is to the pacifist, to the fanatical dry as He is to the-rabid wet. 1 Most students are “middle-of-the readers.," MARGARET SANGER TO GIVE LECTURE HERE NEXT WEEK Birth * Control Advocate Names ‘Future of the American Family* as Topic DISCUSSION WILL OPEN ‘FORUM* FOR THIS YEAR Speaker Sponsored by Christian Association—Sister of.

When it is a case of following tradition or breaking away from it, other things being equal, Penn State students invariably follow' tradition, the dean said. Parental influence,. hofnc back ground,’the Penn State environment and isolation from the-depression arc of relatively little importance in their effect on the conservative attitude of students here, Dean Warnock said.

Skillington, superin tendent of the Altoona distinct of the Methodist Episcopal church, address ed students and their houseparty guests at the regular Sunday morn ing services in Schwab auditorium.
