Will o' The Whisp When fire partially destroyed the State College Hotel and its Corner Room there were only a handful or two of ' students and townsneople looking on despite the fact that 'it was comparatively early in the night . a truly unusual thing. But that's the Corner Room management for you, living up to their advertising to the limit. -The fire itself was unusual in that it was the best Will o' the Wisp State College has seen in- recent years. Messrs: Richard - Kennard and Marlin Mateer, reputed .to have an interest in the establishment, tramped for al most an hour and a ball through the heavily carpeted corridors of the ho tel in the company of several firemen, Pausing now and then to whiff the air delicately and announce decisively to one another, "Yeah; it's on fire, but where?" - It was finally located in the base ment of the Belford dry cleaning es tablishment in the partition between the hotel proper and Sauers' clothing store. The exact - facts as to damage and so forth may be found in the Centre Daily Times, ouy biggest competitor. However, here are a few of the things the COL L EGIAN saw at the scene of the conflagration . . . Hummel Fishburn dressed in a sweatsuit fighting hard for the glory of dear old Alpha . . .

No Classe;s Tomorrow On Annual Half-holiday No classes will convene tomor row, due to the selection by Stu dent Board of that date as the an nual football half-holiday. Selec tion of tomorrow as the holiday rather than the Saturday ,of the Pittsburgh game, is the result of a student poll held at the Student Un ion office, in which the Penn game Saturday received the heaviest vote. Because of the holiday, no ex cuses will be gr'anted for the week end, according to Dean of Men Ar thur It. Warnock. However, the usual five-dollar fine for missing claeSes before a holiday will not be imposed. Hermione Hunt '3B Named Harvest Queen by Poll By a whirlwind finish on the last day of voting, Hermione H. Hunt '3B nosed out lola D. Murray '39 for the crown of Queen of the Harvest Ball to be held in the Armory November 26. Miss Hunt is a transfer from Al legheny College, who was publicly on exhibition in the• Thespian production, "Fools Rush In," where she played the part of a secretary. When ballot ing opened Wednesday she was last among the five contestants still in the running. But by polling 261 votes, she overcame the lead of her other rivals and won by a plurality of fifty eight. Mary J. Fisher '39 captured third place, followed by Marion A. Ringer '37, and Betty Deemer '3B. While no investigation will be demanded, it is rumored that the sudden shift in the balloting on the last day is due to the fact that the poll was taken out of the hands of the Froth business staff and conducted by George L. Donovan of the Student Union Office. - A dark. horse in the , shape• of F. Lynn Christy entered:the race . in the pollink„thirty-foin,yotei. There was a scattering or votea re corded for Bill Skirble, Walt Kinsey, Jules Vernik, - Wes Mohnkern. Bill Balderston, and two other B. M.-0. C.'s, John Doe and Elmer Zilch.

International Good Will Fostered By College Short Wave Station "Though few people realize it, short wave broadcasting stations and ama teur radio operators help bring about a feeling of goodwill' between coun tries," said Gilbert L. Crossley, in structor in radio engineering and su pervisor of the local short wave radio station WBYA. "We have contacted every civilized country of the world at one time or another. flow do we understand each other? Well, most of the short wave operators that we have talked with understand English and speak its fun damentals fluently.' It English is en tirely Out of the question, we use the n l 'Q' signals." Then Mr. Crossley explained that 'Q' signals were the international com munication method used by radio op erators, based on the letter "Q." When this letter is used in combination with other letters, a certain specific state ment is meant. Thus .QRA means, "What is the name of your station?" and QRX means, "how is the weath er?" In answering, the question mark is omitted.

Levin '3B, chairman; Richard W. Smith '37, Wilbur J. Perlstein '37, and Jerome J. McDonnell '37. the number 73 is used.' "Love and kisses" is expressed by the number 88. "The conversation between opera tors is usually about technical mat ters concerning the operating parts of the receiving or sending outfit," continued Mr. Crossley. "We try to steer clear of international questions. If we were talking to un operator in Italy, we, would hardly dare ask him to explain just what Mussolini is try ing to do. A question to that order would create somewhat of a strain." Though contacts with foreign coun tries are made quite regularly, Mr. Crossley stated that on one 'day in September, between the hours of 10:47 a. in. and 3:36 p. in., six dif ferent foreign countries were contact ed; Tlicy were: Germany, Nether lands, Antigua, Fiji Islands, Irish Free State, and Belgium.

Peace Organizations Ineffective, `Milk Soppi..sh,' Avers Harris Speaking before an estimated crowd of three hundred and fifty persons in Schwab auditorium • Monday after noon, Paul Harris, Jr., secretary of the National Council for the Preven tion of War, labeled peace organiza tions, including his own, as being in effective, "milk soppish." "The average peace organization," he explained, "works by educational, evolutionary means to effect a ration al view that war must be prevented. This requires time, and we have none." Mr. Harris stated that there has never been more than thirty-three years between American wars and that the average is 25.8 years. Thus every American living thirty years experiences a major conflict during his lifetime. Present conditions in Ethiopia show that. war cannot be averted for any great length of, time, surely not for thirty years. Peace organizations by themselves are very valuable. he assured his au dience, but they do not hit the point of the problem—the Congress of the United States. Congress formulates America's foreign policy, and there fore it is with the senators and rep Hetzel To Speak; Band To Play•at Send-Off State's invading football war riors will receive a send-off from the student body at Co-op corner this morning from 10:40 to 11 o'- clock, when they- leave for Phila delphia to engage the Pennsyiva nia Quakers tomorrow.

Ifetz el will address the departing grid ders, and assembled students. Critics Rate State On Even Terms With Penn The 1935 football season through out the country will go down in his tory if for no other reason than that it has been the most disastrous sea son for predictors and favorite pick ers in the annals of the game. Keep ing this in mind and recalling head aches as a result of being quoted be fore, several persons who are in a position to he "in the know" lave ven tured cautious opinions concerning the Penn State-Penn game tomorrow. Jock Sutherland, head football coach at Pitt: :Penn 7, Penn State 0." George Scott, sports editor of the Centre Daily Times: "II State plays the way it did against Villanova I can't see how they can lose. How ever, if the boys are overconfident it will just be too bad, for Penn has a good team." Lou Bell, former sports editor of the Chester Times: "The team that scores first will win the game. Psy chology will play an important part in - determining the winner." ' Rca McGraw•, Coach Harman's scout at the Pitt and Syracuse, and Villa nova games: "State will throw a flock of passes down here Saturday and if 'our defense isn't up to snuff I'm afraid of the outcome." H. Ridge Riley, sports editor of the College publicity office: "We have no tight to go down there feeling overconfident. Penn has the best run ning backs that we. will come up against. Breaks will probably decide the game." "Gloomy" Joe Bedenk, chief Lion eant: "Penn is certainly capable of 'tonging one on." Leo Riordan. football reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirers "If State's lino played Penn to a stand-still last year, it probably will push it around like a lawn-mower Saturday." Neil Fleming, graduate manager of athletics: "It's our year." Ilugh _Ralston, noted journalist: 'Penn State by two touchdowns." 3 Attend Convention W. Bernard Freunsch '36, Cour:- GlAts7 sports editor, William P. Mc- Dowell '36, news editor, and Vance 0. Packard, '36, assistant editor, are attending the annual convention of Sigma Delta Chi, professional jour nalism fraternity, being held at the University of Illinois, Urbana, today, tomorrow and Sunday. resentatives That work must he done. "Weed out the war veterans from Congress," Mr. Harris continued, 'and you can have a foreign policy that means peace by agreement and not by victory. Military men and veterans are sincere pacifists, but their approach is to secure peace by victory and force." Votes will keep America out of war —votes directed at Congress, which will meet in January. "Don't expect President Roosevelt to develop and improve upon the present policy by including cotton and other basic ma terials on the contraband list," he con cluded, "for election' is cooling next year and F. D. R. won't endanger his chances with the solid south." Addressing a group of townspeople, faculty, and students Monday night in the Hugh Beaver Room in Old Main, Mr. Harris presented the posi tion of the United States in the world situation today. "America," he stat ed, "is the pivotal state. It rests with us as to whether peaceful means will be used to stop this Ita plan fracas, or forceful coercive means. PRICE FIVE CENTS Roy Schuyler, Tackle, Out of Line-up With Injuries. Penn Team Prepares In Secret Sessions By PHIL HEISLER &slightly injured Nittany Li on football team, carrying a load of traditions to uphold and suf fering from what some fear may be a case of over-confidence, will charge into the classic of its sea son when it meets the Penn Quakers on Franklin Field to morrow. The bugaboo of injuries, al though it has never threatened Coach Higgins' team seriously at any one time, has prevented him from starting a full strength team of regular first stringers in any game this season and the Penn game is no exception. This week the casualty is Roy Schuyler, tackle. He suffered a dislocated shoulder in the IVillanova game and may not be able to play the remainder of the season. The air at Franklin Field will - be full of whirling footballs, since both teams will depend on passing as their major offensive weapon. The Lions showed their ability at tossing the pigskin last Saturday and the Quak ers' Coach Harman is a firm believer !in the effectiveness of the forward and lateral passes. He has developed his team into one of the most adept 'employers of the open style of attack. The Lion'sqaad spent the week in light training, having no scrimmage in view of the several injuries on the 'squad. Coach Higgins concentrated ion blocking, passing, -tackling, and running through plays. Meanwhile, down in Philadelphia, the Quakers quaked at the hearing of the Villanova drubbing and went right' back to the mud-covered gridiron to concentrate on the hardest and most secret practices they have had thus far this season. Coach Harman is focusing his en thusiasm on Franny Murray, who de !Seated State last year by his timely field goal. Murray will, Harman said, do most of the carrying, passing, and . punting, besides calling signals for the Blue and Red gridders. In his I spare time he blocks and tackles. The Penn coaches' main fear is the Nittany line, which has the enviable record of yielding only once for a touchdown, and that was on the one , yard line against the Pitt powerhouse. Another trouble maker that the Quak ers are watching is Captain Bob Web er, tackle, who has the uncomfortable habit of spending Saturday afternoons !in the backfield of the opponents. Liohnny Economos and Chuck Cher ' andel° will again prove chunks of granite in an already solid wall. Penn State's Philadelphia alumni Iclubs are becoming more and more I goal-conscious every time they go to Franklin Field, inasmuch as the last time the Lions were able to subdue the Reds and Blues was back in 1929. Penn State's probable starting line up will be: Miller and Fry at ends; Weber and Cromwell, tackles; Wis. mer and Barth or Economos at guards; and Cherundolo at center. In the backfield will be O'llora call ing signals, Komonic and Knapp at halfbacks, and Cooper at fullback. Thirty men will make the • trip. They are: Andrews, Barth, Cherun del°, Cooper, Cornman, Cromwell, De- Marino, Donato, Eeonomos, 'Enders, Fry Knapp, Komonic, Krupa, Latorre, Miller, Muriel, F. O'llora, S. O'llora, Orlando, Owens, Rhoda, Schuyler, Silvano, Smith, Wear, 'Web er, Whinier, Yett, and Zochowski.
