Booth First Freshman To Win Drum Major Of College Blue Band A freshman leads them all again— this time in the College Blue Band. Competing with members of all the upper classes for the position of drum major of the band, Sidney R. Booth M 0 was so outstanding that he has been chosen in spite of his minority in College years. The winner of the competition, the first freshman to crash the band in its history, will make his debut at the Muhlenberg football game tomorrow afternoon. Booth is a graduate of Gary high school, Gary, Ihd., and has recently moved to the state. In Gary high school bands are big things. Hence the experience. Prof. Richard W. Grant said that Booth is not'perfect by any means, but that he was the furthest developed of the candidates. \ The band has been slow in whip ping into shape this year and will perform for only a short time be tween the halves. The first seven minutes will find the State Champion State College Junior Drum and Bugle Corps on the field. Composed of 43 youngsters from nine to sixteen years of age, the outfit was unable to at tend the national competition after winning the state title at Johnstown. It so happened that a band that placed fourth in the state trials won the' national title. Harold Breon di • rects the bugle section of the outfit and has instructed the boys in three part .bugling, a difficult feat for young players. Newell Townsend *37 has coached the drum section, while Buck Taylor, local radio dealer, is drum-master. The corps is under the direction of a .girl drum major, Rachel Fulton, and the captain is Martin Knutsen, Jr. Library Receives Gift The recent gift to the College Li brary-included thirty-four volumes written by James Fenimore Cooper, and nine written by Washington Irv ing.

In what is undoubtedly the first amateur production of the play that continued ad a smashing success on Broadway for many months, the Players’ presentation of “Personal Appearance” opens an intensive dra matic year on the campus. The success of “Personal Appear ance” as a comedy has been indicated; recently since a large Hollywood com : pany has begun production of the play into a movie with Mae West in the featured role. Veterans in Cast On no previous occasion in Player history has such a veteran cast been gathered for one play. With less than two weeks in which to rehearse, Director Frank S. Neusbaum' was forced to call upon tried performers in order to whip together a competent company. Kermionc. H. Hunt ’3B has been se lected for the leading role, playing Carole Arden, a headlined movie act ress. Miss Hunt, as Miss Arden, has & roving eye for men. Failing to make Wilkes-Barre after her car breaks down, Miss Hunt enters. the serious business of making’ the gas station attendant where she is forced to spend the night. V ■ m Lead ‘ Edward' T. Binns *3B again is cast in a lead part, after starring in Player productions for the last two seasons. Binns attempts to mix busi ness with love when contacting Miss Hunt for the forwarding of his movie invention. Completing a lover-combination that has Had convincing success in three shows, Lucille Z. Giles '3B fights for her man, Binns, against the loose wiles of Carole Arden. A player unheralded before last winter again comes through with a part that will maintain him in a posi tion of importance in actor circles on the campus. Morton Wolovsky ’3B, playing a fast-quipping manager who must scheme to keep his charge, Miss Arden, in hanff, enters his sec ond semester as a Player. In Difficult Part Probably the most difficult ami most skillful performance of all the parts in the show is that of a stage struck kid who persistently pesters Miss Arden. Jean F. Woodruff ’36 was drafted for this role and again she establishes herself as a top-notch character actress. Mother impersonations seem to be the forte of Beatrice Conford ’37. After playing such roles with con vincing ability last year, Miss Con ford is again a mother in “Personal Appearance.” Epsteins Productions of Alumni Begins Pittsburgh Theatre Run A Penn State theatrical putsch hit Pittsburgh .this week with the world premiere of “And Stars Remain,” written by two local boys who are ; making good, Julius J. ’3l and Philip G.

Bezdek Decision Due Tomorrow Trustees Consider Committee Report Today for Final Action on Situation A final decision by the College Board of Trustees on the status of Hugo Bezdek, director of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, will probably be announced sometime tomorrow, it was learned today. Semi-official reports of the find ings of the special Trustees’ commit tee to investigate the entire athletic sitUation”hereV' committee members earlier in the week.- This report is being consid ered today and will be acted upon finally tomorrow morning at the meeting of the entire Board with Dr. Ralph D. Hetzel, College President. At Work All Summer The committee has been at work for over four months, starting its in vestigation shortly after the publica tion of tKe report of the special alumni committee on athletics last June. It was this report which recommended changes of leadership in the School of Physical Education and Athletics. During the summer this commit tee has been at work questioning and interviewing individuals connected with athletics here. Some time ago they met to discuss the whole situa tion and to recommend certain chang es, but it was not until this week that their findings were drawn up. Today, they will probably agree upon a report to the Board as a whole and tomorrow that report will be voted upon. If the Board reaches a final deci sion—and it seems likely that they will—student?, faculty, and alumni will know definitely whether or not Hugo Bezdek will continue to hold his present post or whether some one will be selecte'd to replace him.

COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS Encounter No Longer Regarded as Easy One for Lions Kick-off Scheduled For 2:30 Tomorrow By CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR. Baring its fangs for the first time, the 1936 edition of the Nittany Lion football team will launch the 50th year of Penn State football when it preys up on mule flesh from; Muhlenberg on New Beaver field tomorrow at 2:30 o’clock. Scheduled originally as a warm-up game, this encounter with Muhlenberg assumes no such light proportions as game time draws near. Blessed with the experience of one full game, victory-gorged at that, these Mules promise to be tough ba bies to saddle. Heading the rodeo will he State’s bid for All-American honors for the year, center and captain, Chuck Cherundolo. Luther Bart h~, Roy Schuyler, Tommy Silvano, and Red O’Hora will possibly be the only sen iors who may accompany Chuck into the first game of their final season. Line-up Fairly Definite The Lions who will meet the Mules m the first hand-to-hand combat seem pretty definitely to be the boys who have lined up in the three weeks of pre-season practice. Carrying the ball other than the two seniors men tioned will be the hard-running soph omore sensation, John Patrick. Sam -my-Donnto will-hold“down the block-' mg post. Against Muhlenberg a questionable offense will be severely tried for the first time. Only game work will prove whether the Lion can get by with a minimum of good blocking. And if it does, it will be violating all the estab lished concepts of good football. Penn State and Muhlenberg have met three times, the Lions winning quite handily the first two. But it is that last 1933 affair that is so well remembered, when the Mules sur prised with a 3-to-0 victory, the re sult of Red Weiner’s accurate place ment. No doubt such upset ideas are stow ed away in the heads of the Mules .as they prepare for the battle, admit tedly with a few pet tricks tucked up their sleeves. And the Lions prob ably have ideas of revenge stored away in their noodles. Swamped Lafayette Last Saturday, Muhlenberg made mcriy with a 19-to-7 victory over Er nie Nevcrs' Lafayette team, their i first in 18 years over the Leopards. Long runs were made in the game by ; Tom Kennedy and their ace hack, IGutekunst, each for 50 yards. During the week’s work, Coach Bob Higgins set up a Muhlenberg team for dummy scrimmage and in general toned the gridders for their day's work tomorrow. Earle Edwards who, with Marty McAndrews, scouted the Mules last week, spent a good deal of time explaining the plays Muhlen berg used. But it is generally thought that the Mules will have a lot of stuff ready for use that they did not dis play Saturday. Against Lafayette their .running attack was much more effective than their passing. And their running attack featured weak side plays, if the Mules were playing to the Lion ?couts and exhibited only enough stuff to win, it is likely that the local boys will have a few surprise packages dumped in their laps upon which a split second decision may mean a whole lot. Lions Arc Untried The only basis upon which the Li ons can be judged is their 48-to-0 rout of an unorganized fresh team and their spirit .to date. Revelations wall come thick and fast tomorrow.
