Appears in 'Vanity Fair' The long-awaited article on "Hot J'azz Jargon" by Edward J. Nichols, of the English composition depart ment, and. Prof. William L. Werner, of the English literature department, has appeared in the November• issue of Vuuity Fair. , Professor Werner and Nichols brings a few choice words and,phrases in the vernacular of the jazzmen to the attention of slang proliterates. This is a - sample of:the language of the jazz industry: "That's the, third date •we've, grooved half a dozen schmaltzy tunes for that wand-waver with never a swing item in the list. He's, not making a salon man of me; let hint date the tong-haired boys for his commercials . . . We'll catch a wire, in a decent nitery s without press ing: 'some barrel-house to make the catrswing-. . There's no bounce in the Oasemble,:and you can flub notes like jigs doing shake music." The article classifies jazz. into two I type's: straight or sweet, which re produces the composer's score faith and "hot" jazz, which features variations, colloquially termed "licks" or "breaks." hot jazz," the article points out, "the individual virtuoso counts most; the basic melody is subordinated to his 'achievements in securing origin ality, complication, color, surprise, and even humor in his variations."

These are virutuosi, the article says, such as "Jazz Dazzler" Louis Armstrong, whose mad music has tickled the cars of the crowned heads Of. Europe, and \ some -very peculiar people on Broadway. Others such as trombonists Teagarden and Benny 'Norton, and the tenor-men Hawkins or Fletcher Henderson, -which the nu tliors regard as "stars in the hot sky," are listed as outstanding personalities in the field of hot rhythms. The authors confine the truly hot bands as those made up of six or eight soloists from large organizations who combine to form a band in which each stars individually. These bands, the article explains, get together for pho nograph companies 'and etch their weird rhythms in "wax," then prompt ly disintegrate to form other combi nations. . The article explores a new 'field in American slang,- as •yet unexploited by professional jargonists in news columns. The jazz racket has a noise all of its own, adequately incompre hensible to an uninitiated public. The chattbr is so strictly professional, and so .guardedly unintelligible that the research work of Lexicographers Nichols and Werner stands foremost among the initial investigations of this obscure•vernacularo, rgian.

ESTABLISHED PRICE FIVE CENTS State's Chances Marred As Injuries To 4 Weaken Team. Game Marks Renewal Of Old Gridiron Rivalry By PHIL HEISLER "Upset" has . always been a popu lar word with sports writers, and the Nittany Lion football team is giving them justification for keeping it at their finger-tips until the final whistle has blown in the Penn State-Pitt grid fest in the Pitt stadium on Saturday. Thirty men, in mid-season form and filled with the ambition to vindi cate the ten straight defeats the Li ons suffered from Pitt, received' a rousing send-off this morning at o'clock as they left to invade the prowling Panther's lair. The team is somewhat weakened by the absence of four varsity play ers. Smith, end, Donato and Owens, backs, were unable to make the trip due to injuries. Lou Barth has been suffering, from a sprained back that will keep him out of the starting line up. Old Rivalry Renewed Saturday's game marks the renew. al of a, rivalry that began in 1893 and flourished until 1930, when rale. Cons were severed. Although the Lions won the majority of games. up until 1920, from that time on Pitt has maintained the upper hand. The last time Penn State defeated Pitt on the gridiron was in 1919 when Coach Bob Higgins, then playing end for the Lions, made his famous run on Howard Hess' pass from behind the•goal. • The probable starting line-pp .for the Nittany gridders will be: Fry and; Miller, ends; Weber and Schuy-, ler, tackles; Zochowski and EConoinos, guards; and Chcrundolo, center. O'Hara will be calling signals, While Kornick Will be back at left halfback. Andrews, who mado a fav orable impression in the Lehigh garde, has been practicing all week with the varsity and will start at right halfback. Kominic or Silvano will play fullback. The Nittany line will average 196 pounds, the heaviest the Panthers have had to face thus far this sea son. Coach Higgins plans to take on the trip ten backs, three centers, six guards, six tackles, and five ends. Reserve ends are the least plentifid on the Is:Many squad. Bab Larue and Hub Randour, both Panther halfbacks, will give the Lion trouble-shooters their hardest jai. Both' men have started every game and starred against Notre Dame last Saturday. The Panthers, taking the advice of their scouts that the Nittany squad may not be the "breather" that they had bargained for, will start the reg ular line-up that started against No tre Dame. with one exception being made to strengthen the team. Panther's Line-up Pitt's starting line-up will be Sou chak and Shaw, ends; Daniell and Detzel. tackles; Glassford and Dalle- Tense, guards; and Klisky at center. In the backfield will bo Michelosen, quarterback; Randour and Larne, halfbacks; and Patrick, fullback. Psychologists noting that Pitt play ed Notre Dame a week before and play Army the week after the perm State 'game, reason that the Panthers will be recovering from the first scrap and looking forward to Army when they meet the Lions, thereby giving the Lions an advantage. However, knocked out of the Rose Bowl picture by Notr s e Dame, the Panthers are con centrating upon the Lions, reputed to them its a killer once more. Pitt Women Will Give Dance in Heinz House Immediately after the football game tomorrow, the senior women of the University of Pittsburgh will entertain Penn State students at a tea dansant, according to a letter re ceived here yesterday. Bob Duncan's orchestra, well-known in Pittsburgh, will furnish the music for the dance to be held at Heinz House, located up the hill from Alumni llall. bhiery dance will be a tag dance, and the seniors will have sophomore women as their guests. Inasmuch as the hosts are not trying to .make money, but only entertain their visi tors, the admission will be only fif teen cents to cover the expenses, and the dance will continue until 6:15 o'- clock.
