ESTABLISHED 1904 Volume 31 Number 10 $784.36 Deficit Incurred By First Artists’ Course Financial Report Lists Loss Less Than Anticipated Plans For New Series Discussed at Meeting That the 1933-34 Artists’ Course incurred a deficit of only $784.36 was announced at the first meeting of the executive committee held Wednesday afternoon in the office of Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, chairman of the com mittee. The entire amount was paid by the College. The deficit announced in Dr. Mar quardt’s report to President Hetzel was far less than had been anticipat ed when the series of concerts was first planned. The fact that all seats for tile concerts in the auditorium were sold obviated the use of gifts of $l,OOO left by last year’s senior and $5OO given by the Forensic Coun cil to the Artists’ Course fund.' Hirsch ’33 Appointed The College has again provided $2,- 500 to be used as a contingent against a deficit for the present year, al though it is planned to make the se ries pay for itself. President Hetzel in a reply to Dr. Marquardt’s report, termed the series “unusually bril liant.” The same committee that function ed last year has been appointed by President Hetzel to serve this year with the addition of Paul K. Hirsch ’35, senior class president, as student representative. Expenses Total $1,305.01 Present plans are to hold the first concert early in December instead of February’ when the last series began. Season tickets will be placed on sale early’ to allow ever.v one an equal chance to purchase them. No tickets for individual concerts will be sold. Sale of 1,384 seats with $lOO re ceived for standing room brought the total receipts for the course to $3,- 780.05. Contracts for artists, and en sembles amounted to $4,350 and mis cellaneous items brought the total ex penses to $4,565.01. College Gets New Weather Service Geophysical Laboratory To Hear U. S.

The tilt will be the twenty-sixth encounter between Penn State and Gettysburg, the aeries starting in 1894. The Lions have been the vic tors in every contest. One resulted in a deadlock when the two teams battled to a scoreless tie in 1906. At the last Lion-Bullet dash five years ago the Blue and White eleven barely squeezed out a two-touclulown Vic tory. Bullets Down Juniata Each team has played one game in the 1931 season, the Bullets’ 13-10-7 victory over Juniata standing against the Lions’ 13-to-0 defeat of Lebanon Valley. Neither team looked impres sive in its first game and both coach es arc drilling hard in the funda mentals for Saturday’s lilt. The only sensational development in the Gettysburg-Juniata game was the uncovering of Joe Supcrka, soph omore baekficld flash. Weighing lit tle over 150 pounds, Supcrka shows signs of developing into one of the best backs to grace a Bullet team in years. Substituted into the game against Juniata for only eight min utes, he scored both his team’s touch downs within three plays. A high stepping, fast man, the Lions will be looking for him. Visitors Outweigh Lions To match the finding of Supcrka, the Lions can point lo the uncover ing of Tommy Silvano, transfer from Notre Dame. Substituted into the Penn State backlield in the middle of the first quarter. Silvano started a march for a touchdown, bucking his way through the line for short but consistent gains, lie scored nearly a third of his team’s yardage gains on scrimmage plays. He will start on Saturday at fullback. The tentative line-ups of the teams give the Bullets a two-pound weight advantage. The average weights arc: line: Penn Slate, 185 pounds; Gettys burg, 181 pounds; baekficld: Penn State, 166 pounds; Gettysburg, 178 pounds; team: Penn State, 178 MacMullin Promoted To Ranking of Major Captain George Mac Mullin, of the department of military science and tactics, has been notified by the War Department of his promotion to the rank of Major of Infantry in the United States Army. Major Mac Mullin is an assistant professor of military science and tac tics, and has been on duty here since 1933. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, served on the Mex ican Border in 1916, and since that time has served in Alaska and with the 26th Infantry of the Ist Divi sion at Camp Dix. N. J., and at Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y. ‘RUS’ BOGAR SANDERS pounds; Gettysburg, JBO pounds. The only serious injuries to the Lion squad are Wismer’s cut over his eye which will probably keep him out of the game Saturday, and the early injuries to Robbins and ‘Red’ O’ilora, both of whom will probably be out for the rest of the soas'on. Minor injuries to Captain Merrill Morrison, A 1 Mikeionis, and Harry Sigel have kept them on the sidelines during several of this week’s practice sessions, but all three backs are ex pected to be in condition to start against the Orange and Blue. O’Hora To Start On the line. Coach Bob Higgins will start Art Fry and Frank Smith at ends, ‘Web’ Weber and Roy Schuy ler at tackles, and Barth and Lou Krcizman at guards, with Jim O’- ilora getting the call at the pivot post. Coach ‘Hen’ Fream will start Johnny Cico, veteran defensive full back; Dan McGinnis, veteran plung ing half; Bill Cook, sophomore half; and Bob Sassaman, a transfer Ibis year from Susquehanna, at quarter. Kozma Chosen For End One of the Bullets' ends is a vet eran; the oilier is untried. Tony Koz ma, letterman for two years, will flank John Fish, sophomore. At tack les Coach Fream will use two rela tively inexperienced men, Snyder and Walker. Brown, the heaviest man on the Gettysburg team, will be at right guard, and a sophomore, Wagner, will start at left. The veteran Harry Nye is expected to (substitute Tor Wagner early in the game. ‘Rus’ Bogar will be at center. Assisting Coach Fream at the bat tlefield institution is Paul W. ‘Red?.’ Griffith ’2l. He was a letter win ner while here. The Lions are working out daily for the Bullets, Coach Higgins re alizing that the game is far from a set-up. The backs arc working chief ly on passing and kicking, while Coaches ‘Spike’ Leslie and Joe Be denk are drilling the inexperienced line in the fundamentals. Th Delia State aial (Settysbary start iny liur-aps, complete with numbers and wclyhta, will be found on paye four.
