Although they only completed three out of seven tries, they collected seventy-eight yards' gain. Thirty-six players represented the Lions on the gridiron and at no time did the team seem weakened by the numerous substitutions. Although there were numerous substitutions, no one player received any serious in juries and thus far the team will be in good physical shape for their en counter with the Pitt Panthers next Saturday. Captain Scobey was the outstand ing. star for the visitors. Besides cap taining the Squad his tackle position presented a knot in the Engineer line that was difficult to break for the Lions. In his spare time he carried the ball on numerous end-around-end plays, blocked, and ran interference. Petzold Named Editor of Forestry Yearbook Albert 0.

Coster of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company in Room 107, Main Engineering build ing, Friday. rgian. Decent and Progressive Editorial , Acting on the ,demands made editorially in Friday's COL,LEGIAN, the Board of Athletic Control Saturday recognized the unfair treatment of football players by sanctioning a training table, throughout the season for members of the, varsity. Two meals a day are being furnished the players, starting yesterday. Here is a giant stride toward a really "decent and progressive policy" here. In two stormy, overtime sessions the board decided that not only will the policy call for a spirit of "fair play and good sportsmanship" toward op ponents but it will even maintain that attitude toward the players them selves. In relieving the "intolerable conditions" under which coaches and players must labor, the Board of Control, has cleared the tense atmosphere like an electrical storm. No longer shall Coach Bob Higgins be forced to chisel meals for his players; no longer shall players leave school because they aren't eating well enough. The COLLEGIAN'S demand for fairer treatment of the football players was entirely justified by the facts of the situation. Those wiseacres, both of the faculty and townspeople, who thought and stated that the COLLEGIAN was merely popping off and credited the campaign to an attempt to increase the circulation and to publicize the COLLEGIAN, have proven to be very much misguided by the action of the Athletic Board of Control. President Hetzel Brands Student Demonstration as 'Silly' Effort Damage amounting to a thousand dollars was done to Allen street as a result of two bonfires held there after the pep rally Friday night, bor ough authorities estimate. The cost will be paid out of the College dam age fund. Branding the demonstration .as "silly," President Ralph D, Hetzel said, "The students are burning up their money in a futile and senseless sort of demonstration. I have confi dence to believe that there is' enough intelligence . * the student,body to dis , over this fact before long." No recurrence of the riots staged last year when an attempt. was made to stop a similar demonstration took Common Fireplace Plan Discussed By Board Plans for a common fireplace to be located somewhere on the campus were discussed" at a meeting of Stu dent Board last week, J. Briggs Pru itt '56, chairman announced. The fireplace, as planned, will be used as a sort of ceremonial ground. The College has already purchased two large stone lions to be placed there and will supply the wood to he used in the fires. One of the prin cipal reasons for undertaking this Project was to prevent fires on town property. "The students are bound to hold fires," Pruitt said, "and unless some means is provided to keep them un der sonic sort of control, we will have continued riots similar to the one on Friday night. "Under the plans discussed by the Board," Pruitt continued, "we will hold regularly planned-for fires after pep rallies. In this way we hope to prevent these riots, which can result only in expense to the students and College and ill-feeling between town and campus." Architect Will Speak At Open Meeting Here W. Pope Barney, A. I. A., Phila delphia will address an open meet ing of members of the department of architecture Saturday on "Architec ture Today." This lecture will be in the exhibition room, 303 Main Engin eering building at 7:15 o'clock; un der the, auspices of Scarab, honorary architectural fraternity. Mr. Barney will assist with the criticism and judgment of design pro blems during the day. He was award ed the Gold Medal in Architectural li League of New York in 1929 for his American Bank and Trust Company building in Philadelphia. lie is at present architect for subsistence hoes ling in the Virgin Islands under the direction of the federal government. The Juniata Park housing develop ' ment for the American Federation of Hosiery Workers which was start ed in Philadelphia this year was de signed by Mr. Barney. lie - has also 'been the architect for a group of foe ulty houses at Swarthmore College. the First Church of. Christ Scientist, Swarthmore, and the First Church of Christ Scientist, at Atlantic City, N. Jo place due to the action •of Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell in refusing police action against the students. While the alpha Fire company was summoned to the scene of the blaze, they were not permitted to extinguish it. The attempt of student leaders, for the most part members of hat socie ties, to halt the starting of the fires proved futile and after a period of wrangling, the first serious blaze was started\ on Allen street, followed by another fire a few hundred feet away at the intersection of:Allen street and College aycnue. v In the .search for combustible Ma-. tonal to carry on the demonstration, students razed an old barn in Colder alley and a pile of lumber was re moved from the rear of the Murphy five and ten cent store. 11. 0. Smith, owner of the lumber, with the assist ance of campus leaders, obtained the names of students carrying it away. A crowd of 3,000 looked on as the fires raged. Roofs of the Leitzell and Schlow buildings were damaged by crowds which swarmed there to watch the fires. Frear, Worthley, Find Method of Removing Residue From Apples Using a machine designed and built by Prof. Arthur W. Clyde, of the de partment of agricultural economics, Donald E. 11 Frear '26 and Prof. liar lan W. Worthley have discovered a method for the removal of spray resi due from apples. In 1906; the Food and Drugs Act was passed 'by the government, and one of its provisions concerned limit ing the amount of arsenic on food stuffs. Pennsylvania farmers were having crops ruined by insects and they were forced to use an arsenic spray that exceeded Lhe amount set down by the government. Last year, Frear and Worthlcy an alyzed over a thousand samples of apples for lead and arsenic that re sulted from spraying. They now have a method of washing the apples so that there is no danger from spray residue. Clyde's machine removes the spray with an acid, washes the apple and then dries it. Practically all large fruit growers in Pennsylvania arc now using this machine. Plans arc sent to each fruit grower, who constructs the machine himself. Other ready-made machines arc on the market. Livestock Show Chooses 3 Judges from College Three College stuff members will take part in the third annual Pitts burgh Livestock Show to be held on Thursday and Friday, October 2:3 and 24, at Kerr's Island. Opportunity to exhibit livestock will be given to the farmers and 4-II club boys of Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and West Virginia. All three of the men have national reputations as livestock judges and all are associated with the depart ment of animal husbandry. Peter C. Mackenzie will judge beef cattle; Lawrence C. Madison will judge swine: and Charles A. Burge will act as beef cattle superintendent of the show. ESTABLISHED PRICE FIVE CENTS Boost In Team Morale Seen as Result of Saturday's Act. Motion Passed After Long, Stormy Session "The Board recommends that during the remainder of the present football season on the days of practice or a game, two meals, lunch and dinner, be provided for the members of the varsity football squad as a part of the conditioning process." With that resolution the Athletic Board of Control at its meeting Sat urday recognized the unfair treatment of football players here. as charged by the Collegian, and remedied the sittuation by giving the players an other meal a day. Previous to yes terday they received only their even ing meal at the expense of the 'Col lege. Board Confers With Balza The ruling became effective imme diately and yesterday at noon the players ate their first lunch at the expense of the College. Coach Bob Higgins said, "The boys certainly ap preciate what has been done for them. Things are looking much better now. This has been a great boost to the morale of the team." Captain Bob Weber, stellar Lion tackle, declared, "It sure is swell and the boys all ap preciate it." The motion was passed after two long and stormy sessions of the Board, during the second of which President Ralph D. Iletzel was consulted. Collegian Presents Facts In the morning session following a presentation of facts which aroused the- Collegian's editorial..blast-against existing conditions there was consid erable discussion. A notion made by Robert K. Cochrane,. of Pittsburgh, Alumni representative, and calling for three meals a day was passed by ' a vote of 5 to 4. Director Hugo Ben dek, of the School of Physical Educa tion and Athletics, then asked that President Ralph D. Iletzel be con ferred with before this was final. Complying with Director Bezdek's re: quest, William Wray, chairman of the Board, voted . ugainst the measure, tie ing the count. The Board then ad journed until after the Lehigh gamo when it re-assembled with Dr. Hetzel Present. ' Warnock Makes Motion Accepted Following considerable more discus sion, especially as to whether giving the players another meal would con stitute subsidization and whether this was a step towards complete subsidi zation and whether this was a step towards complete subsidization, Dean of Men, Arthur B. Warnock, who vot ed against the proposal which would feed the players three meals a day made the motion which was passed. Only two members of the Board, Dr. Frederick W. Owens, mathematics de partment head representing the facul ty, and George E. Resselbacher, of the Alumni, voted against the pro posal. The ollegian Congratulated The Collegian has received approx imately one hundred statements, in cluding letters, telegrams and long distance calls congratulating it - upon its stand in bringing the facts of this situation before the notice of the al umni and the Board of Control. The action of the Board is expected to bolster the already good morale of the team considerably. Smoker, Dance Plans Made by P. S.
