About 3,000 spectators were present to witness the Lion of fensive that routed a bewildered freshman team. Touchdown after touchdown filtered through the frosh secondary defense .until it became a monotonous procedure, pleasing though it was to Niltany adherents. • Scoring twice in the first quarter, once in the second, twice in the third, and twice in the abbreviated fourth quarter dis tributedi the counters pretty'evenly. ' Frank Smitli, lend, and Bud Kyle, fullback, led the' scoring parade with two touchdowns apiece. Others to score were PatricK, Silvano, and Metro, Roy Schuyler dfd yeoman service with an accurte right foot to add three extra points. Silvano and Barth each booted one, and Lang passed to Krupa for the sixth. Yett missed one. That Sleeper Play The game started .with Schuyler kicking off to the cub 10-yard line. The frosh lined up in a hurry and on the first signal tossed a pass to a teammate ’who had Tcept on the left sideline for a 55-yard gain to the var sity 35. 'Rad the pass not been so lofty the receiver would have had a touchdown. Then they kicked out on the varsity 5. O’Hora traded punts, finally get ting the ball to mfdfield when Baran tovich recovered a fumble. O’Hora kicked again and when he signaled for a fair catch on the poor return punt was tackled. The 15-yard pen alty gave the varsity a first and ten on the yearling 15. Silvano soon took it over and Schuyler added the point. Patrick Counts After the kick-off, ankle-sore John ny Patrick skipped over frifitr the ten yard line after he had put the ball in scoring territory on a pass from O’- Hora, and then retired for the day to nurse his sore pins. Schuyler was again good. O’Hora fumbled away a score on the 5-yard line after Silvano had in tercepted a pass to start a drive.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1936 Uncensored News Story About Spanish Revolution Carried to U. S. by Student Acting as a messenger for a New York Times correspondent, Frank A. Ostcrlund ’37, president of'the senior class, conveyed one of the very few uncensored news stories on the Span ish situation to this country. Osterlund, who was visiting his native land, Portugal, during ‘ the summer vacation, just returned to the campus last Friday. While lunching with a’business ac quaintance of his father, Ostcrlund was introduced to the New York Times reporter. On learning that Ostcrlund was returning to the Unit ed States, the correspondent gave him the important dispatch. Previ ously, the reporter had failed to get the message through by wires throughout Europe. A Clever Device Because of the Spanish crisis, it is practically impossible to get anything past the frontiers in that section. Ostcrlund related a story of how money was cleverly passed over .the borders. A herd of bulls were starv ed for a long time and then put on a train that crossed the frontier. Gold was placed under the straw in the box cars.’ When officers attempted to search the train, the maddened bulls prevented them from even get ting close. The Spanish situation was directly responsible for the delay Osterlund had in returning to this country and : Penn State. There are so many peo ple trying to escape from the trou bled zone that all boats arc booked in advance. Most people pay fabu lous sums just to procure tickets.

I lies Loves Edd But It’s Only on Stage As They’re Together Again in Players’ ‘Personal Appearance’ Although it may only be on the stage, Lucille Z. Giles ’3B and' Edward T. Binns ’3B are lovers. For the third time in their careers as actors, at Penn State, they are playing roman tic opposite one’ another. Matched in the opening production of the Penn State Players, “Personal Appearance,” Miss Giles and Binns are again cast as lovers.

As Carole Arden, Miss Hunt gets an excellent chance to portray a built-up actress, cornfng from a dairy lunch, On the Portugese side of the crisis, Osterlund described the crowded con dition of his country. ’ Spaniards keep coming into Portugal, selling their jewelry and other valuables in order to secure funds with which to live. I The Portugese people welcome the Spaniards, for the' tmost part. It seems that the -gresjfccr number of the refugees are those who arc neith er Spanish rebels or loyalists. American Jailed . Osterlund tells the’ story of an American who was failed and, kept without food or communication for two days by Spaniards. It seems that this American boy thought the Spanish custom of siestas rather hu morous and at one time had imitated such by posing for a picture in a re clining position. 7. On crossing the border one day, the American was asked to show his passport. When he produced his wal let, the picture he had taken dropped out. The Spanish officials thought it a photograph of dead revolution ists and threw the American into the jail.

COMPLETE ' CAMPUS • dfh CoTmAia; Bezdek Investigation Goes Before Trustees At Special Meeting Under Fire Again HUGO BEZDEK Exchange Group Talks at Chapel 4 Seniors Kelate Experiences At Lingnan University During Past Year Four seniors, Lester M. Benjamin, Emma Jane Foster, Marvin 0. Lewis, and Mildred E. Vargo, who spent the past year at Lingnan University, Canton, China, related their experi ences there at the annual Penn State in China chapel .services in Schwab auditorium Sunday. Lewis, the first speaker on the pro gram, told chiefly of the trip to the university. “Three years ago a student from the University of Hawaii went to Lingnan as an-exchange student.-The plan proved lo"be a great success. The following year eleven students from institutions cn our West coast! were sent to the Oriental country. This plan proved to be of such bene fit that the next year twenty-five stu dents, equally divided between the eastern and western schools of the nation were sent,” Lewis said. 20 Students Sail Last summer a group of twenty students met in Seattle. They sailed from that point and after about eleven days reached Yokohoma. The following two weeks were spent in a iour through Japan. The students took this opportunity to become ac quainted with the people's customs, language, etiquette, and the monetary, system. Lewis smd, they-manafed to’ get along with tne. natives by means ■of dictionaries and sign language. Fr.pip Japan the students sailed to China. The ship encountered a ty phoon on the journey, which provid ed plenty of excitement for the pas sengers. After landing in Shanghai, they travelled to Hong Kong, which is a three-hour trip from Canton. At this city they hired, a jinriksha to take them to the university. Discusses Athletics “Lingnan University is located on an island in the muddy Pearl river. We were greatly surprised when we raw the campus for the first time. It can be compared to the most beauti ful-campus in this country. There are -.about 100-odd buildingfe tlierb. They are beautiful edifices, built in Chinese design, many of them having a frieze of native design, and green tile roofs,” Lewis said. He concluded with a discussion of athletics at the school, pointing out the enthusiasm with which the stu dents participate. Miss Vargo discussed life at the university. She said some of the stu dents were Americans, and a few from Hawaii. Many of them are married, but hesitate to admit it. She said that many of the students -fere descendants of old Chinese families. Tells of Social Life “The natives have a great sense of humor and are very broad-minded. The latter characteristic is found chiefly among the freshmen. Upper class students are cither too old or their education hinders with their broad-mindedness. One thing we haven’t .found out is how the Chinese study. They have a wonderful power of concentration. They are very dili gent,” Miss Vargo said. The social life of the natives is also interesting. The students hold their bull-sessions, and they are long and loud. -The most of their activi ties are centered about the home. (Continued on page two) PRICE FIVE CENTS Definite Policy Plan Expected Ready For Alumni False Rumors Spiked; Near Crisis Appears Will Hugo Bezdek continue as di rector of the School of Physical Ed ucation and Athletics or will some one replace him? That question will be decided this week-end as the crisis of the athletic situation approaches. A year of rumors of corruption and dissatisfaction with the, athletic policy on this campus pushed by campus, alumni and administrative organizations will ccme to a head this week-end when a committee appoint ed to investigate the athletic affairs makes its report at a special meeting •of the College Board of Trustees. Seething rumors around the camp us to the effect that Hugo Bezdek had been given a year’s leave of ab sence were denied with the explana tion that no action had been taken os yet. However, in many quarters it is still believed that this action will be made official at the coming Board meeting. Immediate action on this question is imperative in order to have a de finite decision to give to the Alumni cn Alumni day, since it is believed that the alumni will demand a decis ion at that time. The alumni association submitted a report cf its investigation of the athletic situation last June. In this report it was almost unanimous in recommending a change in the ad ministration of the Physical Educa tion School. The report to be present ed to .the-trustees .this week is an-in vestigation of the Alumni report. Anti-Bczdek administration feeling reached its highest pitch last year on Alumni Day with the publishing of an expose by the Colleg'an of ex isting conditions in the athletic policy and an editorial charging “hypocrisy and unfairness in Hugo Bezdek’s plan of non-subsidization of athletes.” Although Mr. Bezdek has success fully weathered several other such in vestigations and demands it .is be lieved that the coming decision will definitely determine many future ath letic policies. Industrial Societies Hold Group Meetings At Sixth Conference The sixth Mineral Industries con ference, held in the Mineral Indus tries building last week, closed Satur day morning. The final session cf the conference .witnessed talks by au thoritative mineral industries men on some of the problems which are of import to the mining, metallurgical, and ceramic industries at the pres ent time. The main purpose of the confer ence was to bring Qe members of the industrial minerals division of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers into contact with the members of the materials and equipment division of the Amer ican Ceramics Society. The work of these two groups is related and each will profit by a knowledge of the methods which are being used by the other group in the improvement of mineral industries’ products. Doan Edward Steidle of the School of Mineral Industries opened the con ference at an informal dinner at the Nittany Lion Inn Friday night.
