flrrot #tatr @ (EnUwjt Volume 33—No. 14 Instead of Fighting Lehigh, Lions Fight Themselves and Lose Engineers Outplay State Scoring Touchdown On Long Forward in Third Quarter; Extra Point Wins Game By CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR. Squabbling: among themselves like babies and playing listless and un inspired football, Penn State’s 1936 excuse was thoroughly outplayed and beaten in Saturday’s Lehigh game. It was no fluke that sent Lehigh off to its first victory over the tremb ling Lion since 1917; it was complete mastery. A student body’of 1600 mingled with.several thousand locals, many State alumni included, viewed the debacle. • - And what that crowd saw was a group of inexperienced but well-coached youngsters with the love of the game in their blood take over a sluggish Lion with its tail between its'legs. State acted as if it did not want to play foot ball,- and if that was its aim, this is* ; : a success story. T\ | rp , A Fighting Nature lliyCfS 1 ryOUIS What fight there was in the team , - Saturday was displayed by the play- Wpf 4-rkf* I flffldht ers mixing it up \tith their team- kJwL IUI X mates rather than with the common foe. One thing led to another until the only place that spirit was being displayed was in the huddle. And chief among the offenders were a couple of guys that did nothing all afternoon. The score was 7-to-G and might easily have been worse. Little did anyone think that the Nittany Lion would be battling desperately to stave off Lehigh scores, especially when in the “darkest years" State had regularly beaten Lehigh. But so it went. The end of the first half saved the Lion from being, scored on. Lehigh at that time took the ball on O’Hora’s kick on its own 14-yard line, and three plays later the half ended with the ball on State’s 15. A back -shovel pass to Peet who for warded • to Walton took the ball to the Lehigh 45. A pass, Pazzetti to EUstrom, put the ball on the State • 43, ‘and then Heller passed to Ell stroni on the 15-yard line as‘ the be wildered . State - defense wondered ,if it were fish day. The answer is that they were just suckers. But don’t underestimate that first half. The Lions made all three of their first downs in it. Think of that. Wait Until the Last Half • It seems that the second half was destined to see all of the scoring. With ten minutes in the third period gone the Engineers had the ball on the State 41 after a punt. Wertz dropped back, and taking his time because he had plenty of it, threw a long, high pass to Pat Pazzetti on the 5. He stepped over with the score, and Ayer, who was rushed in, kicked the winning point from placement. State tried to get going after Tom my (I’m a senior) Silvano had left in favc-r of Jumping Joe Metro who tried hard, at least, but had-no place to go. They got a big break when Waugaman recovered Heller’s fumble on the Letflgn 10. Four plays netted G yards, and Peet punted out on his own 28, another break. On the first play O’Hora threw State?s only com pleted pass of the afternoon to Harry Harrison in the flat, who eluded the secondary and went down the right side to score. Luther (Dick Merri well) Barth came rushing in to tie up the old ball game. After consid erable treatment of the turf to set the stage, the ball was passed back and he almost raised it off the ground. There stood the final score, 7-to-6. But what difference would it have made if he had kicked it? A tie score would have been little consola tion. It might have gone down in the records that State held Lehigh to a tie, when as a matter of fact, they didn't come close. Cherundolo Hurt During Game Most pathetic sight of the after noon was Captain Chuck Cherundolo standing out there and stopping the Lehigh offense all by himself while his teammates were crocheting. An All-American center if there ewer was one playing with the State Col lege amateur stock company. What support he did have came from Tor Toretti and Carl Waugaman. And Chuck was hurt in the last quarter for the first time of his ca reer but stayed in the game. Second most pathetic sight was Dud Enders, 224 pounds of defensive aggressive ness, with a heart to play the game if there ever was one, sitting on the bench all afternoon while the “var sity” missed them on the right, on the'left, and through the middle. Where the vaunted passing attack and the blocking that sent • Muhlen berg helter-skelter was, is a matter of mystery. From .the coaching de partment comes the news that all positions for the Cornell struggle on Saturday are open.

J. His name is Rolfe, he’s two years old, and he’s a graduate of the “Seeing Eye” train ing school for dogs. Rolfe .is a German Shepherd and his profession is accompanying his master, a Penn State sophomore in the School of Liberal Arts, about town and campus. Rolfe is directed by oral commands of. “right,” “left,” or “forward,’ but it is the dog that leads, the sopho more who commands. By means of a leather leash and harness, Rolfe will take his master to class, remain until it is over, and will then attend the next hour with his master. The sophomoi’e acquired ' Rolfe about four weeks ago from the “See 'ing Eye” school at Morristown. The student took a four weeks’ training course and then learned how to han dle the dog. The instruction included voice inflection and intonation, meth ods of handling the dog, an dpractice. “A great deal,” the student said, “depends on the inflection I use in giving Rclfe commands. The voice must be cordial but firm. If the voice betrays irritation or anger, the dog notices it immediately and docs not work efficiently.” The sophomore asks only one favor from the students and townspeople STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1936 PSCA Campaign For Funds Ready To Start Monday Will Continue Through Friday, Benjamin Announces ‘Goal is the Sky,’ Key Note of Money Drive The annual Penn State Christian Association drive for funds will start on Monday and extend until the fol lowing Friday, according to Lester M. Benjamin ’37, who is in charge of the campaign. The annual canvass of students and faculty is to provide funds to aid ,in meeting the expenditures of the oi’ganizution. The finances are need ed to enable the P. S. C. ’A. to con tinue the service it has been render ing to students for the past sixty-one , years. Active in Many Ways The association is one of the most active on the campus. Among its list of services are the publication of the freshman Handbook, the sponsoring of freshman mass meetings, seminars, fireside sessions, the bringing of famed speakers to the College, as well as ’ the fostering of the student counselor plan for new students. Previous years there was always a goal toward which the campaign was directed. This year “the goal is the sky,” Benjamin promised. He also stated that every student is a mem ber of the organization who partici pates in its activities or conributes toward its budget. These who do not wish to pay their contribution now, may have it added to their registra tion fees next semester. Leaders Carefully Chosen Funds contributed by students and faculty members go directly to the budget while those from parents, friends, and the College cover over head" cxpenses---and~6eeretaries’ -sala ries. The student advisory committee to aid in the organization is Frank A. Osterlund ’37, Johnson Brenneman ’37, George M. Hacker ’37, Gene C. Ziegler ’37, Jean B. Northup ’37, Ross P. Shaffer ’3B, and Fes W. Tibbott ’39. Division leaders are being care fully selected, as the success of the drive depends much upon this' selec tion. The first meeting for these leaders will be in the Old Main Sand wich Shop at 6 o’clock tonight. The kickoff dinner to initiate the drive will be held at the Nittany Lion Inn at 5:30 o’clock next Monday. Mar garet A. Wentzel ’37 is chairman for the women and Benjamin will head the men. A faculty advisor has not keen chosen as yet. To Attend Convention Dr. Carroll D Champlin, of the de partment of educations and psych ology, together with Leonard M. Brockman ’37 and Kenneth G. Brown ’37. will attend the national convention of Kappa Phi Kappa, educational fra ternity, at Birmingham, Alabama, during the latter part of this week. here: that they will not pet .or tease Rolfe or try to assist them along the street at crossings. “Seeing Eye” dogs are so delicately trained that any distracting influence tends to break the line of rigid conditioning to which they are subjected. Occa sionally, when the dogs break train ing consistently, they must be sent back to the “Seeing Eye” for recon ditioning in their profession. It takes three months to condition the dogs. First, they are taught obedience, then, the principles of guiding, finally, studied disobedience, for the dog must disobey a command which might lead his master into danger. The trainers, who educate the dogs and teach the students how to use them, take a four-year course of study before they .can become qualified instructors. Students are selected for dogs as well as dogs for students. Upon appli cation to the “Seeing Eye” school, the student is picked on qualifications which indicate that he will use the dog to the best advantage. There are now over 200 graduates from the school. Rolfe was graduated last Friday. For several days, he and Rolfe will make the rounds of the town and campus so th (■> Rolfe can become thoroughly familiar with the locality in which he and the student will live during the next three years.

Broad smiles on faces of the men will be omitted so that the general tone of the senior section will conform to the formal clothes worn. Senior men are urged to take non smiling pictures for their section of the 1937 La Vic , so that it will cor respond to the appearance of the rest of the book. Tuxedos are available at the Photo Shop for those who do not have them or find it inconvenient to wear their own to the Photo Shop, but it would be advisable to .wear one’s own. If a senior finds it impossible to come to the Photo Shop at the time set on his appointment card, he should come when he has time that same clay or at the latest the follow ing day. Christy’4o Dies; Injury to Brain Cause of Death Football Game Held As Contributing To Sudden End Student Hurt in Class Here Friday Morning j A post-mortem yesterday afternoon showed that the death of Joseph A. Christy ’4O, who died at the College Infirmary Sunday night at 11:20 j o’clock, was due to an effusion into the icerebelluni, .together with a brain tumor. Dr. W. R. Heaton, Centre Coro*'" ndr id thr County Coroner conducteu .ie inves tigation, assisted by Dr. J. V. Poster, local physician, and Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, College doctor. The effusion affected the resph'a tory nerve centers in the brain. It came as a result of the diseased con i dition of that organ. It had been j ; thought that his death was due to ani injury that he may have sustained i while playing touch football. The Cor oner, however, stated that while that may have hastened his death slightly, it could not in any way have been the actual cause. Christy, a native of Wilkinsburg, en rolled in mechanical engineering, had been in good health according to his friends. He complained of a headache last Friday following a game of touch football in his physical education class that morning. He had fallen sev eral times in the game but had not been injured in any way. Attendcd by Dr. Glenn Saturday morning he felt worse and his roommate, William Cooper '4O, called Di\ Herbert R. Glenn, local physician. Dr. Glenn examined Christy that afternoon. He was not told of the football game and diagnosed the I ailment as an infection of the right I frontal sinus. He gave treatment to he student, and assured his friends at Cody Manor on 301 South Allen street, where" lived, that 'Ehere was no cause for alarm. There was no improvement in his condition Sunday so Cooper and an other friend carried him to the College Infirmary where he -was admitted early in the afternoon. Later in the day ho was examined by Dr. Charles Dietrich, College doctor. He too felt that the case was not serious. Arilicial Respiration Given Sunday night the nurse on duty no ticed that Christy’ was restless. She called Dr. Ritenour. Even then it did ; not appear that the student was scr iouslj* ill. Dr. Ritenour examined his pulse and while doing that the pat-; ient’s respiration suddenly ceased. Ar-: tificial respiration was resorted to and continued for nearly an hour, but at 11:20 the student died. Christy was the oldest son of Mrs. Flora S. Christy, of 623 AVhitney ave nue, Wilkinsburg. He is survived by two brothers and a sister. The fun eral will be held there today or to morrow. Engineers Visit Here Approximately seventy-live engi neers from five different institutions will visit the College Friday and Sat urday for a meeting of the Allegheny section of the Society for the Promo tion of Engineering Education. Want To Know The Low-Down? 9 Phone Operators—They Know It’s an obscure office, the telephone exchange in Old Main, but it is the busiest and most necessary to the College set-up. To quote: “It’s where East meets West .to carry on a friendly chat.’' The operators there know plenty— that the old L’Amitic house and Miles street dorm carry on the longest con versations, that Women’s building gets the calls for a certain week, then Grange has its hey-day, and ad ni firjitum. Over 5000 calls a day go through the Old Main switchboard. The seven operators work on two different shifts: one from 8 a. m. to 12 noon, from 1 p. m. to 5 p. m., and from 7:30 to 10 p. m.; the other from 7 a. m. to 12 noon, 5 to 7:30 p. m., and from 10 p. m. to 7:30 a. in. There are two and sometimes three girls at work at all times except from 12 noon to 1 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 8:30 a. m. The break in the busy day of phone calls comes at 10 p. m., after which time the College phones to the wom en’s dormitories and fraternities arc discontinued. The men’s fraternities and dormitories Have all-night tele- WCL Four Political Parties Will Offer Symposium Thurs.

After the last speaker, the forum will be thrown open for questions from the floor. Kroll Will Talk To I. F. Pledges PSCA To Sponsor 4th Banquet At Nittany Lion Inn On Sunday Night The Rev. William E. Kroll 'l7 will be a featured speaker at the fourth annual Inter-fraternity Pledge ban quet to be held at the Nittany Lion Inn at G o’clock Sunday night, Charles W. Cable ’37, chairman of the committee in charge; announced today. The banquet, sponsored each year by the Penn State Christian As sociation with the cooperation of the Interfraternit.v Council, is given lor the pledges of all fraternities par ticipating. Varsity Quartet Will Sing Reverend Kroll, better known as “Bill” or “Pop,” once had a brilliant college career, numbering among his activities positions as class historian, associate editor of the 1917 La Vic, member of the editorial staff of the Collegian, the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and class basketball team. He is a member of the. Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Zeta fraternities, Lions Paw, the Forensic Council, and the Stu-' dent Council.

Hal Spring to Address College A.S.U. Chapter Ilal Spring, regional organizer for the American Student Union, will ad dress a short meeting of the Penn State chapter in Room 415, Old Main, Thursday night at 7 o’clock. The meeting will take place immediately before the election forum and will consist of a discussion of future A. S. U. activities. ’ On Saturday night the Union will conduct a social at the home of Prof. Edward R. Van Sant, of the depart ment of economics and sociology. The program will include refreshments and dancing and'admission will be i twenty-five cents. All interested are 1 invited. : phone service, but their calls amount to about one-fifth of the total calls to the women’s houses. Anyway, the operators say, the men, especially those in Irvin Hall, often don’t bother to answer them. One hundred and fifty lines are handled in this office. In most cases two women’s fraternities arc combin-. cd on one line; there is but one line to Women’s building, three to Mac- Allistcr hall, and four to Grange for the use of the students. The telephone office of the old ad ministration building was in Room 105 and was transferred to the Arm ory while the new Old Main was be ing built. In 1929 the operators moved to their new office in the department of grounds and buildings. To prove this office is the busiest and most necessary of all in the building, the operators were the last to move out of the old building and the first to move into the new one. The operators have perhaps the hardest job of any in the College or ganization of keeping a smooth flow of communication between student and student, student and faculty, in structor and instructor, and campus and town.
