Lion Gridmen Defeat
University of South
In Houseparty Game
Nittany Eleven Makes 3 Touchdowns Against
Stubborn Sewanee Defense—Collins
Runs 42 Yards for Score
By GEORGE A. 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.
The Lions had their bad .moments
themselves.' The running attack fune-

Conservatism Indicated by
College Polls, Warnock Says
Judgment of Candidates’ Merits Unimportant
In Hoover’s Straw Vote Success
Hoover’s success in college straw
votes is an indication of the conser
vative element now present in most
student bodies, rather than a judg
ment of the relative merits of the
candidates, in the opinion of Dean.of
Men Arthur R. 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.,"

trends in sex education, at some time
during her stay here.
Seeks Revised Legislation
Mrs. Sanger, who-is the sister of
Robert A. Higgins, football coach, re
cently visited Washington to conduct
personally a campaign there for the

cern's radio advertising hour. McFalls
has received Vfan mail” from North
Carolina and some of the New Eng
land states for former, broadcasts.
the Dean of Men declared.
“I don’t think that tire present con
servative attitude of Penn State stu
dents is a lasting one and, certainly
students here have not always been
conservative,” the dean pointed out.
“It just happens to be the prevailing
attitude at'the present.time and the
pendulum may swing- the other way.”
Dean Warnock believes .that student
conservatism in activities is partly re
sponsible for conservatism in other
lines. . 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.
