Now, wltli clique work already under way for the spring the matter should he given some consideration. : Although cliques here do not handle large sums of nioaey, there is no responsibility or order about the method by which their limited finances are directed. he fact that several groups did not pay their bills for eaMpaign expenses last year speaks for itself.

Another Armistice Day was observed Saturday Quite a few students will be able to remember back fif teen years to that November day when the War came to an end. Whistles blew, bells rang, people literally went wild with joy. It was a relief that the War was over, and that the aims of the conflict had been fulfilled. But there is a different ring to the' meaning of Armistice Day now. Have the purposes for ovhich the Allies fought been realized? Did anyone really win the war? What did the winners• actually get? A war- Weary world fifteen years ago seems to be eager for battle today. Nations are armed to. the hilt, suspicious of each other. Disarmament attempts end with a ges- Hire of futility. Four powerful and militant dictator ships prevail in a world made safe for democratic gov el•nment by the sacrifice of ten million lives. Open flaunting of the status quo established by the Treaty of Versailles has been in progress for some, time, and the rumblings are growing louder. The 1914 set-up is ready waiting for its Archduke Ferdinand episode. Commemoration of the war dead is appropriate al ways. There is danger that the futility of their sac rifice may be forgotten. But while heads are bowed out of respect for the deeds of the past, anxious faces are, turned toward the future. Will the young men of ihjs 'generation havo wreathes placed on their white Crimea ten pears hence, because they, too, were made to believe that their military efforts could accomplish some thing?

Accompanying him was a leddy, who for pulchritude was the match for any thing these tired old eyes have seen for many a moon. He could be justly proud of her, in feet she was the hit of the evening. So efficiently did she charm the local villagers that our Dan'l spent the entire week= end looking for his wench, and didn't catch up with her till Sunday afternoon. • A certain young hoop chanter, whom, to keep anonymous, we'll have to designate as H-1-n T-y-l-r, spent House Partie (as we Continentals call it) eat ing her little heart out. It seems the poor gal had had wind that a swain of hers from yesteryear was com ing up for the recent gaiety. Refusing all invitations to attend with the local talent—because you see, gentle reader, she's a very, eery, very, popular lassie, she preferred to wait for shining knight. In fact she even went so far as to call his fraternity house, Nu Sigma, or something like that, and ask - if she might buy the ticket for Saturday's' game that was nest to his. Alas for 10-o-o-o-ove's young dream, however, when the young man in question did arrive, he was fully equipped with a maiden of his own. John A. Brutzman '35 --Phillip W.

I read, with considerable in -1 terest, the editorial column' of your paper' and it pleaks me to note that you are willing to co-operate with our' present policy and have faith in the; ability of our coaches to make it sue-I ceed, along with success for our var ious teams in competition with other representative colleges. There is no doubt in my mind that Bob Higgins will produce satisfactory,: results if those on the squad and the; student body in general will co-operate with him and tender the support which one who attempts to build must have. Will those who are not sufficiently terested at present forget any differ- ences which they may have and boost; our team? If our alumni are satisfied to work with Bob and help him to to secure material which will build for; the future I cannot understand why; others who ,have done very little to; aid can criticize a man who is giving all that he has to put Penn State 1 back into'the football picture. I was interested in a remirk which Eddie Dooley, former all-American quarterback from Dartmouth, made during his broadcast of the Columbia- Penn State game. He stated that Penn State demonstrated that it was well coached. This statement in trigued me and I decided to write to Mr. Dooley and elicit more informa tion concerning this significant re mark. He was kind enough to an swer me and I am going to relay his observations to you and Your readers with the hope that it will enlist the best instincts of the students at Pena State in the bett6r days which are cer tain to come. Nov. 6, 1933 Dear Mr. Watkins Thank you for your kind letter con gratulating me on my radio broadcast of the Columbia-Penn State game at Baker Field. I would have answered it sooner had I not been so busy. You asked me why I thought Penn State was well coached. First, be cause it played smart football both on offense and defense. Penn State's ends were not sucked out of position by Columbia's well devised backfield manoevers. The Lion scores, as I re call; came on perfectly executed criss cross plays, with Montgomery and Barabas handling the ball, and once on a pass to McDowell. On the touch downs scored by running, State's backs were held in position by the Columbia back starting towards the oppoiite side to • that where the play eventually„ went, and the Mon ball carrier outdistanced the • defending secondaries:: Afy second and chief reason for the statement in question, is perhaps less tangible. Penn State at all times gave the impression of "being in the ball game", to express it 'in the parlance of the gridiron. The backs came up fast to bring : down the ball carrier. The ends did splendid work, tackling well and playing intelligently. On offense, the blocking was good at' times, but now and then a little er ratic, just as in the case ,of most teams. • • Columbia was the stronger team. It had more power in the eleven posi tions. The score however is not a just criticism on which to estimate the discrepancy between the teams. I be neve Columbia is two touchdowns better than Penn State. Had not the Lion clicked with meticulous perfec tion on a few definite plays, Penn State would have 'looked much better in the -scoring columns. Both teams fumbled more'than they should have. One can judge a team by the way it goes about advancing the ball. State's attack appeared to me to be intelligently designed, and fairly well executed. Columbia's line is unusually tenacious,—mostly veteran, you know. Penn State's pilot discovered - this early, and mixed up his plays to good advantage. On passes, State's decep tion was good, and its execution coin: mendable. It was simply a case of a better team (I refer of course to Columbia's Wealth of good ball car riers and good linemen) winning over a less able, but equally aggressive unit. The Penn State boys gave me the im pression of enjoying the game for the sport there is in it, and in giving all they had on every play. A coach who can teach fellows to do that, and come through with a fair record, can have my vote any day. With kindest regards, and best wishes for the success of Penn State in future games, I ani,, Sincerely yours, EDWIN B. DOOLEY I believe'thit this letter is a'splen did tribute to our coaching staff and team, and it is for that reason I wish to, pass it along to those who are vitally interested..

EIMMMMI=It=O It's a difficult task to take a sprink ling of Thespian musical comedy skits, mix it in with a bit of light comedy by the Players, add to the two in gredients some really fine chorus work by the Glee Club and achieve a revue I that will stand the test of audience 'criticism. -However, Messrs. Fishburn, !Grant, Cloetingh and Kennedy came ;pretty close to the mark with their I"Panics of 1933," - Saturday night I Like its two predecesorS, the 1933 combined show didn't have the finish ,that characterizes a show produced by the Thespians alone, or a play done t hy the Players, but generally speaking tit did entertain its audience, and no revue can hope to do more than that. Incidentally, Saturday night's pro- Iduction • terminated the three-year agreement between the three organize- Itions in regard to the fall houseparty I show. What this column suggests probably will have little bearing on !any future plans regarding this date on the entertainment calendar, but we'll speak our bit anyway and wait for the reaction. If our diagnosis of the houseparty audience. is correct, it wants lots of music, dancing, and fast moving wit for its entertainment. It isn't in the mood for even light drama, nor for classical music. • And that seems to put the job up to the Thespians; ',and the Thespians alone. But to get back to the current pro: duction. It's a bit unfortunate, with the above words in mind, that 'the Players and Glee Club so far out shone their rivals in the matter 'of finished performances Saturday night. team and I know of no two coaches who are doing more and will do more for Penn State and its team than Bob Higgins and Joe Bedenk. Let's give them our individual support and show them that their efforts are appreciated. Get out and back that team and bring the curtain down with a bang with an impressive victory over Penn next Saturday. Yours for 'Penn State, BURTON E. WATKINS '23, Secretary, Scranton Alumni Club. To the Editor: Did you ever stop to consider the huge sums of money that are, spent and wasted on the great American game of football, and the great num ber of boys and men e who are - injured, killed, or maimed for life, annually, by playing this game? • In our opinion this game is vulgar and highly unethical. It should be replaced in all colleges and high schools by a cleaner and less expen sive game. We would propose ping pong, ' hand-ball, or backgammon. These games develop the mind as well as the body. It is true that there would still - be ti`few injuries to the participants, in the above-mentioned sports, but they would not•he as ex tensive and harmful as the pig-skin toters suffer. For instance, the ping pong players might get .splinters-in their hands from scooping the ball from the table. When we..consider the relative sanity of. the game we are forced to see ping-pong in a new sense. We also desire to complahl .about the track team. It is altogether dis gusting the way, the Members of that squad run around half-naked. There should be a law stating that track men must wear more clothing when appearing in all open air meets. We earnestly hope that other stu dents have the same ideas and if they haVe • should voice their opinicins through, the medium of the COLLEGIAN Letter Box. James H.

The Thespians, on the other hand, seemed to have had- the impression that anything they presented woald go over, for they trotted out bits from their shows of the last three years, slightly the worse for wear and clearly indicating that little time had been spent in brushing them up. The authors of the "boOk" for the show took an old bromide for introduc ing the acts when they set the scene for the show in-a radio broadcasting station; but they did a good job of it, and the action wasn't something that could be anticipated at each turn, John Binns' impersonation of the an nouncer helped to overcome the usual objections to this medium of introduc tion. We didn't list the skits as they ap peared chronoligically in the show, but we do remember particularly the var sity quartet numbers, a couple of songs by Mike Zeleznock, the Whelan- Porterfield-Merrill dance number ; the Italian Street Song number by the Glee Club and Miss Williammee (tho' it was a bit too classical to find a place in the show), and last but not least the Players' portrayals of the movies of the 1900-1910 period, some thing out of the ordinary and as enter taining as it was unusual. Wayne Varnum and "Peg Giffin ad ded to the effectiveness of the Players movie revivals with their singing, and the finale, of the first act with James the radio studio's featured piano Bakei the janitor boy pinch-hitting for player literally brought down -the house. Zeleznock demonstrated that he can handle musical notes as well as he swings boxing gloves. %Baer and Mechesney didn't register in their "As Time Hurries On" num ber. Baer did her part to put the skit over, but Mechesney not only was off key when he started to sing, but was a bit too affected in his dancing to match his partner's work.
