Bucknell Strong for Final
Bucknell, scheduled as the last
game of the season on November 24,
looms as a good hard second in op
ponent strength, while Penn and
Syracuse, following in that order aft
er the Columbia game October 27, will
furnish plenty of opposition to what,
promises to be an unusually fine Nit
tany team. The Lewisburg warriors
bavr’t faced Nittanymen on the grid-,
iron for several years. Penn’s bat
tlers tied the Blue and White squad'
(>-G in a heart-breaking game at
Philadelphia at the end of last sea
son. while Syracuse squeezed out a
12-G victory over Coach Higgins’ men
at Archbold stadium last year.
The 1934 season will open against
Lebanon Valley here October 6, with
the Nittanymen opposing an “opener”
team that was easily defeated last
year to the tune of 32-0. Gettysburg
comes to Beaver Field after a lapse
of two years for the second game
of the season on October 13.
To Meet Lehigh Oct. 20
The next week-end the Lion ag
gregation travels to Bethlehem where
they meet Lehigh on October 20. Last
year the Nittanymen ran through the
Brown and White eleven with almost
too great ease, 33-0. After the Le
high breather, October 27 will find
the Penn State gridders in New York
City, where they will meet Colum
bia University, while on Alumni Day,
November 3, the Lions will meet
Syracuse’s orange team on New Bea
ver field.
Last year’s tie will be fought out
on Franklin Field in Philadelphia
when the Higgins-coached eleven
meets Penn’s warriors November 10,
while Lafayette conies here to meet
the Nittanymn on New Baver Field
November 17, Pennsylvania Day. The
mass-migration of approximately
5000 Penn State students to Lewis
burg will mark the renewal of hos
tilities with the ancient Blue and
White neighbor, Bucknell, when the
Bison and the Mountain Lion clush
in the new Bucknell stadium to wind
up the season November 24.

Intramural Sports Provide
Altletics For All Students
Fraternities, Clubs, Unit
In Wide Variety,
For the benefit of the majority of
students at Penn State, who are un
able to meet the requirements for var
sity competition, an extensive system
of intramural athletics has been .de
veloped by Hugh Bezdek, director of
athletics.
The program includes all sports
represented in intercollegiate com
petition, in addition to som neot in
cluded on varsity schedules. Frater
nities, clubs, and non-fraternity units
compete for honors in tournaments
which arc conducted in each sport.
The tourneys are directed by exper
ienced coaches and instructors and al
though it is not the primary purpose
of the plan, quite frequently valuable
material for varsity teams is discov
ered.
Fraternities Cooperate
During the past year the frater
nities have cooperated in delaying the
dinner hour from 5:30 o'clock until 6
o’clock, and the majority of classes
have been eliminated from between 4
and 5 o’clock in the afternoon. These
two improvements have made possible
a full itwo-hour period for recreation
and ‘all-students athletics. -
•The increased participation .of stu
dents shows evidence that intramural
-athletics at the College is growing
steadily in importance. %
Forty-eight teams took part in the
mushbal-1 tournament, while indivi
dual champions .were crowned in the
boxing and wrestling competition. In
addition to the major sports, intra-

Sports conducted during the spring,

Football; for those desirous of learn
ing the fundamentals of the game,
was-featured during the spring com

At student sports council is selected
each year to control the intramural
athletic affairs of the College. A
general manager is named by this
group, as well as separate managers
for each of the .three seasonal divi
sions. The manager for each season
assumes responsibility for the sports
conducted, during that season.
•Earn as Much as Possible, Then Borrow
Balance for Education-Alumni Advise
■ A judicious combination of earn
ing as much; as possible and borrow
ing the rest is the advice offered by
prominent Penn State alumni to stu
dents who do not have sufficient
funds to go through college.
Twenty of the list of outstanding
graduates who answered a Collegian
questionnaire believe that a combina
tion of the two is the best method.
Ten advise working to earn all of the
necessary funds.
Only two alumni think that the
needy student should borrow all of
the money needed .to finance his years
in college, while four indicate that it
is more desirable' to stay out long
enough to earn sufficient money to
go through all or several years of
college. Five say that working out
of'.college a year or two and then
.earning money while attending col
lege is the best, while eight believe
that the three methods should be com
bined.
Of the fifty-two alumni who an
swered the questionnaire, thirty-three
earned part of their college expenses,
eight earned all of the necessary
.funds, while eleven did not earn any
of the money needed . for their ex
penses. Of those who worked, ten
earned the money during-the regular
college session, eight during the sum
mer, and twenty-one .during both -the
regular session and :the summer.
First U. S. Team to
14 Lions on Trip; Drop 4
Games by Narrow Margins
Nittanymen To Play One More Match; Will
Return To Enter College Sept. 19
With the distinction of being the
first American collegiate soccer team
to ever tour in Scotland, the Penn
State hooters are now completing a
scries of six games in that eounLry.
The team is meeting, six of the
leading amateur clubs of Scotland;
most .of the players are members of
the last year’s championship team,
although one is a graduate. The
team sailed from New York on the
steamer “Caledonia,” August 11, and
will return before school starts here
on the 19th.
At the present time five of the
games have been played, with the
home team losing all of them by nar-:
row margins. It lost the first game
with the Leith Amatures, G—l; - the
second with the Galashiels'Fairydean;
Club, 7-12; the third with the In
verness Caledonians, 10-G, the fourth
with the Elgin City Club, 5-1, and
fifth with the Falkirk Amateurs, 10-1.
Coach Jeffery-has picked the fol
lowing men to represent Penn State
in the series:
Don Masters, John ~E. ..Binns and
A 1 Daykin, all of Philadelphia; Day
kin was captain and an all-American
selection in 1932. Benjamin Palmer,

Athletic Teams Gain
Win Average of .658
Athletic teams at Penn State last
year turned a total win-lose percent
age of .058. This is a total of the
individual averages of the various
teams; out of the eighty contests
which were held, the State teams
turned in victories for 'fifty-one of
them, lost 27 and tied two others.
Of the thirteen varsity teams re
corded, the soccer men turned in the
best performance with a clean slate
of six victories, no Lies and no losses,
winding up the season to tic Penn
for the Eastern Intercollegiate cham
pionship. Only one other perfect rec
ord was .reported—that ‘of the gym
team in winning its only contest.
The golf team, with its six victories
and one defeat, turned in the next best
record. Its percentage was .857. Oth
er excellent. performances were reg
istered by. the wrestling and basket
ball teams, both with .750 averages.
The wrestling team lost one and tied
one of its five contests, while the
dribblers only lost four of their six
teen engagements.
The track and lacrosse teams each
won two-thirds of their contests, and
the baseball team turned in a per
centage of .538. Teams that turned
in a straight 1500 rating were fenc- i
ing, tennis, cross-country and foot
ball. The football team last year won
three games, lost three games and
tied the final game with Penn G to G.
The only team that lost more games
than it won was the boxing team with
two, victories and four defeats.
Altogether there are thirteen var
sity sports on this campus. The Fall
sports arc football, soccer and cross
country; Winter sports are basket
ball, boxing, wrestling,- gym, and
fencing, while Spring sports are base
ball, track, lacrosse, tennis and golf.
The concensus- of alumni opinion as
indicated by additional comments
seems to be that students should work
part time only, borrowing some mon
ey toward the end of their junior or
senior years, and then not too much.
Preferably one year and not more
than two years is cited as the maxi
mum time that a student should stay
out of college to earn money for his
expenses.
“A man does not get full benefit of
his college course when all his time
is devoted to earning his way
through,” one alumnus says. “There
fore, a man should get together thir
ty or forty percent of his college ex
penses and then earn the rest as lie
goes through.”
“My advice to students would be,
don’t borrow too much',” adds anoth
er alumnus. “I should fix $l,OOO as
the maximum. And by all means:
borrow under the proper business!
terms—pay interest, protect yourself I
with insurance and pay back a stipu-j
latcd amount yearly after graduation.
Otherwise your borrowing will be
come a nightmare to you.”
