Lion Varsity Tramples
Cubs in Practice Tilt
On Saturday, 48 to 0
Smith, Kyle Score Two Touchdowns; Silvano,
Metro, Patrick Count; Schuyler Excels
At Extra-point Kicking
By CHARLES ,M. WHEELER, JR.
The freshmen pulled a 55-yard sleeper play on Tommy Sil
vano Saturday and then, by gum, actually had' to bow before a
Penn State varsity steam-roller to the tune of 38-to-0.
. 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.
Again the varsity bore in when they

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.

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. Last season
they successfully carried’off like parts
in “The Old Maid” and “Pursuit of
Happiness.”
The play will be presented here for
the first time ns an -amateur produc
tion, for which it was released Sep
tember 18. “Personal Appearance”
is now being cast in Hollywood with
Mae West in the starring role.
Hermione ,H. Hunt ’3B will play
the female lead in “Personal Appear
ance.” Miss Hunt enacts the part of
a designing screen star who attempts
to win Binns away from Miss Giles.
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. V :•

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.

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

At Sixth Conference
The sixth Mineral Industries con
ference, held in the Mineral Indus

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

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.

of Mineral Industries opened the con
