Frizzell Tells of Need For Adult Character "Here in America we have been growing men .and women, who, how ever well (they may be equipped tech nically, lack the character of adults," state Prof. John H. Frizzell, noting College chaplain, in his chapel ad dress, "Putting Away Childish Things," in -Schwab auditorium Sun day morning. Our life is comparable to a circus, Prof. Friziell said, and we try to see everything at once that is going on. We have lost almost entirely our sense of-wonder, he continued, and as a re sult we are (bored. One thing we can't stand is monotony; we must have . something different, and yet . we don't know what we want, the speaker added. ' "What does the world want today? How will we handle it when we get it? Is our aim to .be rich or is to have a good -time? There must be some definite purpose, guiding prin ciple or goal or we don't get any where," Prof. Frizzell stated. We have the key to unlock the door and escape the drabness of life, Pro fessorr Frizzell asserted. The chief aim of life is, knowledge and we must, ,begin by knowing ourselves, the speak er said. He added that it is essen tial to know' what we are and what wo are not, our weaknesses and our . strength and. motivations. Many' Americans have the tendency to remain the children of the circus; they are unable and unwilling to face life, said Professor Frizzell. It is childish to dodge the unpleasant things of life and we must learn to face facts; he pointed out. .. "Our whole business structure is based upon faith, why should not hu man life , be baled upon faith, also?" asked Professor Frizzell. "Faith is the min way out. Believe in some ;thing and go on from there." • Upperclassmen To Get N. Y. A.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Lutz, Flying Dutchman Back, Proves Thorn In State's Side. Cooper Tallies Twice With Center Plunges By PHIL lIEISLER Winning by the closest score since the series began in 1905, the Lion football team turned in an unimpres sive 12-to-S victory, gained in the last two minutes of play, over their tradi tional opening game rivals, Lebanon Valley, here Saturday. Victory was welcome with any score, but it would hardly inspire old grads to burn down the stands or make wild predictions on future games. Throughout the first three quarters Carl Lutz, lanky right halfback for the Flying Dutchmen, punted, passed, blocked, and carried the ball, keeping the purring Lions from threatening the Lebanon Valley goal. fiance Races 74 Yards It was not until the final quarter after Hen Hance, 164-pound substi tute halfback, tore through the State line off tackle and made his spectacu lar 74-yard run for a touchdown, thus placing Lebanon Valley in the lead, 640-O, that the Lion squad displayed any aggressiveness. Lebanon Valley's scoring set off the !spark, starting the Nittany machine to function. In exactly seven plays the Lions evened the count. Cooper returned the kick-off from his own 30 to his 40-yard line. ti-Eshbach, sub stituted for Kornick, gained four yards off tackle and after an incom plated pass, Smith nabbed O'Hora's toss for a 44-yard gain and a first down on Lebanon Valley's 13-yard stripe. Cooper Scores Rabbit Wear, 135-pound quarter baiki advanced six . S , a - riri 'around the end and Eshbach gained three more. Cooper made it a first down on the one-foot line and then took it over on a center rush. Vonarx, who had been practicing kicking on the side lines, was sent in to try for the point but his kick was wide, leaving the score deadlocked, 6-to-6. II Wear again opened the Lion drive to the goal by returning Lutz's punt to*State's 47-yard line. Wear, Cooper, and Knapp advanced the ball to the 3-yard stripe with successive line plays, where Cooper again plunged through the line, over the goal in the final minute of play. His kick for the extra point was wide. In spite of a performance that was far below expectations the Lions did show promise in spots. Wear proved that he could not only tear around end but that be could also hit the line and take care of his 'tackle. The linemen held up to expectations by presenting a solid forward wall, and Captain Bob Weber justified his posi tion when he tore through the line, throwing Lutz for a five-yard loss. Lebanon Valley made an early bid for a score. By the middle of the first quarter Lutz and Tindall had brought the ball down to State's own 3-yard line. O'Hara prevented a score when he knocked down Lutz's pass over the goal. Lebanon Valley gained four first downs in the first quarter, while the Lions failed to make any. Opening games arc usually tests where players and plays are tried and the couch gets au idea of what his team has and what it needs.
