U=LI Volume 33—No. 11 Soccer Team Opens Season With Bucknell Captain Bill McEwan Will Lead Booters Tomorrow at 1 5 Newcomers To Aid In Upholding Record By JERRY WEINSTEIN Attempting to uphold a remarkable twenty-five year record, Penn State’s soccer team will open its 1936 season with Bucknell tomorrow on the foot ball practice field at 1 o’clock. . It will be a combination of five lct termen,, a veteran, and -five newcom ers that take the field in an effort to continue the feat' of scoring eighty wins, twelve defeats, and twenty ties in the quarter-century. span.. The lineup': Goall —Dick Haag Left Fullback ißill Borda Right Fullback Phil Barnes Left Halfback Frank Mcgrail or Freddy Spyker Center Halfback— Walt Painter Right Halfback Eddie Mandel Outside' Right Dick Wilde Inside Right Frank O'sterlund ' Center Forward Bill McEwan Inside Left— Sol Miehoff Outside Leftl —..Carl' Wacker Captain Bill“McE\van will lead the Nittany eleven’ into their twenty sixth campaign that includes games ■with Gettysburg, Lafayette, Syra cuse, Western Maryland, Yale, Tem ple. and Navy. McEwan, as a sopho more two years ago, set an all-time intercollegiate record for goals scor ed, tallying twenty. Last season, al though handicapped by injuries, Mc- Ewan managed to lead the Lions with'seven goals. Bucknell’s team is one composed mostly of veterans, with only three sophomores in the starting array. Usually a strong team, the Bisons this year, ai^a^question,mark. ...The. fact that East 'Stroudsburg Teachers stopped them last wcek,‘3-to-l, gives little indication of the Bucknell strength, since the Teachers have al ways had one of the leading teams in the East. Coach Bill Jeffrey has his Nittany booters primed for the opening test. The squad is in top physical condi tion, with the exception of fullback Dave Weddell, who is still out with a wrenched knee. He is expected to be fit by next week’s game with Gettys burg. . Newcomers to Penn State soccer fans will be Dick Haag, in the goal; Bill "Borda, at fullback in place of the injured Weddell; Frank Mcgrail or Freddy Spyker and Walt Painter at the halfbacks; and Dick Wilde at out side right on the forward line. With four veterans—Frank Ostcr lund, McEwan, Solly Miehoff, and Carl Wacker—on the attacking unit, the Lions should be a high-scoring aggregation, if the halfbacks can co operate. The halfback line was the main problem that faced Jeffrey this vear, but the newcomers that have filled in with the veteran Eddie Man del have given' promising perform ances in practices.

An Open - Letter to Gov. George H. Earle Dear Governor Earle Nothing that we, as representatives of the student body of Penn State, may do will be able to remove the distasteful impression of our College that must be yours as a result of the reception accorded you here Monday night. It is scarcely necessary to say that the faculty and the students as a whole deeply regret that such an incident could and did occur. We sincerely hope, Governor Earle, that you will believe us when we say that the attitude so disgracefully demon strated Monday is not the true attitude of Penn State. It is true that the majority of students come from Republican homes and themselves favor the Republican party. But the majority of students also are gentlemen. It was simply un fortunate that at Monday’s gathering there were rowdies present to be able to cause a disturbance. This, of course, is no excuse. There can be no excuse for ungentlemanly conduct.. Our hope is that you will accept our apologies and will realize that the student attitude expressed Monday night was not representative of the entire student body here. Very sincerely yours, Frank A. Osterlund, Senior Class President George M. Hacker, Interfraternity Council Chairman Johnson Brenneman, Collegian Editor Ross P. Shaffer, Junior Class President Fes W. Tibbott, Sophomore Class President Gentlemen and Scholars MONDAY, night wc witnessed the most disgraceful example of Penn State conduct that we have ever seen here. We have watched students tear down and burn privately owned buildings; we have heard referees and opponents booed in athletic contests, but Mon day night’s behavior reached a new low. In booing the speech of George 11. Earle a number’of students took it upon themselves to insult the Chief Executive of this Commonwealth and the titular head of this College. Hundreds of other students were present at the time and although at the time they seemed to take it as a joke, they have since begun to • realize the seriousness of the affair" and are now exerting every energy ,to_excusc2.ajid-:applogize..foiLlsoinething^which£ ; p_ever4-sbduld^haye'hap'-''?.' pened. Student Council, Interfraternity Council, and other groups have written to Governor Earle expressing their regret over the incident. Faculty members have discussed it in their classes. Letters have been written to this paper. Though these efforts may help to heal the wound, the stigma upon Penn State cannot be removed. It scarcely seems necessary to point out that Monday’s incident was it violation of every conceivable code of honor or ethics.

Money War Among World Powers Averted by Devaluation, Says Dye Does the fact that France and Italy went off the gold standard have any effect on us as citizens of the United States? Or first, wc should ask, : what is this gold standard? According to Earl V. Dye, assist ant professor of economics, in order for a country to be on tfte gold stand ard, three things have to exist: (1) There must he free and unlimited coinage of gold, or a substitute, such as buying gold bars at a fixed price; (2) Unrestricted import and export of gold; (3) Complete redemption of money in gold (either coin or gold bars). France went ‘oZ the gold standard by stopping the export of it, and re fusing the redemption of money in gold. Holland just stopped its ex port. The United States restricted its export. The effect on us of France and STATE COLLEGE, PA., Lion fjootball Team Faces Severe Struggle Witl|Villanova Before 2,000 Alumni at 2:30 | * Tomorrow; Wildcats Point for ‘Revenge’ Tilt Minor Injuries Harass Nittany Practice During W ee k Lineup Still Indefinite As Higgins Eiides Time By CHARLES M) WHEELER, JR. Harassed by minor injuries but eager to play tbeir heads off to win, eleven Nittany Lions will meet the charge of eleven Wildcats on New "j Beaver field tomorrow at 2:30 p’clock before a capacity crowd of alumni that will come from far) and near to watch State’s-first major bid for prominence in a decade. There arc two reasons why so many alumni will be back: a 45-to-0 score over Muhlenberg’-last week and a major mutilation in,.the department of physical education.’ But there will be hut one reason why the Wildcats of, Villanova are coming: to play theiri.hest to avenge a 27-lc-13 drubbing last year. Under the leadership of 'Coach Clipper Smith, who claims that national foot ball interest is again’jswinging cast (because he came, maybe) Villanova will come on the-field decidedly point ed for the struggle „with the most diversified attack thatuthe Lions will have to face this season. . Higgins Concerned Coach Bob Higgins, l - of the Lions, was inclined toward .the .blues Wed nesday, because of.mibor injuries to Economos, BartH, ) Marini, Patrick, O’Hora, Silvano,. “But makers -arc going out there to .win, ; and we will.” All those indisposed this week are expected to be ready for. the tilt to morrow. Practice was handicapped this week by the absence of so much ; talent and was chiefly devoted to light work-outs. Particular attention was given to Enders and Kyle in the backficld, whose added weight is.ex pected to lift some of the burden from Tommy Silvano. Using the Notre Dame system of play with shorL, snappy passes and a running attack that is apt to go all over the field, the Wildcats will have seven fast backs that. are going to trouble the Lions all afternoon. Starting will be Christopher, Stoviak, Stopper, and Earle. Stopper is a great kicker. On the line will be Captain Sala- and Fox at the ends, Melius and Olivar ’at the tackles, Missar and Ilanna at the guards, and Galazin at center. Lion Starters Indefinite Stale’s starting team depends en tirely on physical condition at game time. Most likely Adessa and Baran tovich will be at the ends, DcMarino and Schuyler or Hanley at the tack les, Toretti and Barth or Economos at the guards,, Captain Cherundolo at center, O’Hora at quarter, Donato and Patrick or Harrison at the halves, and Silvano or Metro at full- ; back. If the Lions heed all the warnings that Scout Joe Bedenk has given them this week about the Villano vans, they should be able to bottle up the attack, but it will require their being on their toes. The run ning attack will meet a severe test. It will be remembered that last year it was passes that won. Italy’s devalution is twofold. First, it encourages Americans to buy French and Italian goods by making these goods cheaper. As an illustra tion let us assume that the franc was worth six cents in New York a month ago, then today it is worth only about tour cents. . , Secondly, by reducing the franc ap proximately 30 or 40 per cent and the lira (Italy) by 41.8 per cent, they arc reduced by almost the same amount as the English pound will be reduced. By these important countries, flic United States, England, France, and Italy, devaluating their monetary standards in the same proportion, about 40 per cent, Mr. Dye said, “A basis is laid' for an international monetary understanding, thus avoid ing a monetary war.” r , OCTOBER 9, 1936 College President Hits Student Riots j Stale College, Pa. October 6, 1936 To Students of the College: For reasons which must be ap parent to all thoughtful students, riotous student demonstrations do serious injury to'the vital in terests of the College. I am, therefore, requesting that no such demonstrations occur dur ing this college year, but rather that your celebrations be con ducted in a spirit of wholesome enthusiasm that would reflect credit on both the student body and the College. This request is made in the belief that it con forms with the tenets of true college loyalty and college spirit. (Signed) R. D.

Although the first varsity team had been recognized as of 1887, the Athletic Board of Control (now the Advisory Athletic Board) at its meeting last month recognized the 1881 aggregation as the first team. Frank Heads Group Haps Frank ’24, sports expert of the Harrisburg Telegraph, is presi dent of the Club, and will preside at •she meeting when Robert Tait, I. P. McCreary, C. C. Chcsney, and J. G.

All alumni who have won the var sity “S” are eligible for the Varsity Club and arc invited. A bctft3en-thc-halvo.s ceremony honoring the four men at the game tomorrow has been planned. Unusual Talent Tries For Thespian Musical The most talented group to try out tor Thespians in many years has made it difficult to select the cast and specialty numbers for the first show of the year, “Steer Clear,” J. Lloyd Larkins ’37, co-author of the script, said today. “Steer Clear,” written by Larkins and J. Elliot Thompson ’37, will be given houseparty week-end. The final selections for the cast and specialties will be made Sunday. A larger number of individual acts will be incorporated into the show than ever before, Larkins indicated. Ily-Los to Sing Music for the production will be mostly taken from stock arrange ments, but a song by Don Dixon ’37, “Nothing New Under the Sun,” will be used. The Hy-Los, glee club, and varsity quartet will be used in the musical end of the production. The story of “Steer Clear” has to do with a group of college boys who organize a showboat to play the yacht clubs on Long Island Sound. Com plications in the first show, including murder, cause difficulties that turn out for the best at the end, Larkins explained. President PRESIDENT RALPH D. lIETZEL of SCatc as an educational factor. It also maintains contact with the un dergraduate work on the campus and provides for the promotion of the students’ general welfare. In 1876 alumni representation on the board of trustees was granted. Five years later the association made definite rccommondationfe regarding changes in tlie curriculum which were adopted. Aliout 1896 the group cam paigned for proper state financial aid; adopted a recording system for alumni; founded the commencement class reunions and Alumni Day. During June, 1910, the first sala ried alumni secretary was given a permanent office. Since then an up-, to-date card index has been perfected which includes three divisions: pro fessional, geographic, and alphabet ical. Branch associations have been es tablished in the principal cities of the state and wherever State alumni arc grouped. Several years ago, when toe telephone was reaching its high point of development, a trans-con tinental chat was held between the New York, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco units. The roar of the Pacific was transmitted from Seal Rock on the coast, and a Piute Indian spoke from Winnamucka Station in his native language.
