Powers '3S Caroline Tyson '3B Managing Editor This Issue Hews Editor This Issue* Tuesday, November 17, 1936 WE WONDER WHO TOLD HIM NITTANY LION is showing signs of I regretting its decision to lie down with the football lambs,” writes on “M’Cready Hus- ton,” in a front page story in Saturday’s Pittsburgh Suii-Telcffraph. It would be interesting to know just how Mr, Huston discovered this. In his 1000-word article he talks of how alumni of Penn “tossed the famous 'Gates plan’ into the . . . waters of the Schuylkill”; he writes at great length of the athletic situation at W. & J.; he emits the profound statement that “there were those (alumni) who clapped their hands when Character Builder Bezdek was released”;; but except for bis general thesis, i. e., That certain al umni are dissatisfied with the present athletic pol icy, he fails to show who is “regretting” what and why. It is not hard to figure why this happened. Al though Mr. Huston’s story purports to come from State College, no one here seems to know who he is. What seems to be likely is that he talked to a few alumni, read up on the State athletic policy, and uaed his own or some one’s knowledge of the background of football here. His story, then, is interesting chiefly for the light that it throws on the alumni mind. President Hetzel, according to Huston “wants alumni-helped players if they con -make the schol astic grade” but does not “want an Athletic Associa tion paymaster with a line of salaried players of low scholarship at the window.” ’ Certainly the last part of this statement is true. It is not, however, the whole truth. President Hetzel is not the only one who does not want “a line of sal aried players.” There are quite few other people around here who feel the same way. There is less justification for the first statement that the President will welcome alumni-helped foot ball players if they can make the scholastic grade. It is true hut again it is not the whole truth. At present no objection has been voiced by the Adminis tration to alumni aid to football players. But neither has it been encouraged as Huston’s statement might lead one to believe. Because he didn’t bother to come to State Col lege where he could get some facts; because he relied upon the information given him by football-minded alumni; Mr. Huston has given a pretty misleading picture of State’s football policy. , DEPARTMENTS Screwy Analysis: Philadelphia sportswriters who would like to make a trip to'the Rose Bowl game with the Peim team at the expense of their newspapers were hard put to rationalize Saturday’s game. 'LUD WRAY in the Record ascribed the narrow margin of the Penn vic tory to ‘‘overconfidence” in a superb article Monday Here are a few gems from the pen of this gifted exponent of the art of wishful thinking: “The Nittany Lions must be raising smaller cubs this year. Or possibly that purity system .. . requires smalter students. “Bob Higgins . . . before the gome . . . said: ‘You know we took an awful beating from Pitt, last week and several of my boys have not recovered from that banging. I dont believe we have a chance.’ ” WRAY’s deduction from this statment sets a new high for con clusions from minor premises. He reasons: “That shows how weak State really was and emphasis what tremendous effect the mental condition of players has on the way they will perform as a team. Hence the many upsets every Saturday.” Pretty neat, WRAY, the Republican National Committee or the Literary Digest could use you. And it’s the easiest thing in the world to explain aWRAY Harrison's 94-yard canter—“ Then the boys had another attack of over confidence, loafed on a kick-ofT, with each man thinking the other fellow would make the tackle and Harrison, the star of the day, galloped his 144 pounds some 95 yards to show the Red and Blue that THEY didn't know it all.” (Capitals are WRAY’s.) That’s all now kiddies, Uncle WRAY will be back again with you at this same time tomorrow night... —E. T. S. + + *► Neatest Trick of the Week: Another Philadelphia sportswriter has placed himself right in line for this award, too. Consider what he was able to prove after Saturday’s game: J 1.

But they won’t Talk for Students. Mytholoyical Proportions: REGINA J. RYAN *37 Women's News Editor Not since the days of such stalwarts as Coop French, and “Light Horse” Harry Wilson, and later King Cole, has State had a truely mythological figure. However, present indications show that one is now emerging in the person of High School Harry Har rison, as the New York Times called him Sunday. Earlier in the season it reached the all seeing ear of this department that Hairy worked best with his girl in the stands. And though the evidence seemed to bear this out, we let it pass. r mneis 11. Szymcznk '33 Charles M. Wheeler, jr. *3B Several days before the team left for Penn, Harry knocked the slats from under Ike Gilbert, who pre sides over the A. A. ticket window dept., by asking for about twenty comps for the Penn game. Usually quick on the comeback, Ike managed a weak “M’God, Hairy, what for?” “Oh,” said Harry with a vague gesture toward heaven, “I got a following in Philly.” After the game was over—Hairy played, we un derstand—a slight disturbance near the State dress ing room entrance provided a bit of drama, which wasn’t on the program. A stalwart guardian of the law had collared a youth of about sixteen years in the act of making off with a State football helmet, or so the Copper deduced. After he had recovered from the shak ing up administered to him by the minion of the law, the boy protested that the helmet had been given him personally by Harry Harrison. The astounded flatfoot dragged the kid in to see Higgins and Bob referred him to Harrison. It seems that the kid had a younger brother laid up in the hospital, who is part of Harry’s “follow ing.” The kid wanted a souvenir of the game to take to his brother so Harry gave him his helmet. . . And the reason Harry made a touchdown against Pitt was because somebody had bet him two tickets to the Penn game he wouldn’t . . . If, as the evidence seems to show, Harry’s ef fectiveness on the gridiron can he figured in direct proportion to his “following’,’, at games, this depart ment would like to go on record as being in favor of roping off the entire"stands on New Beaver field and giving Harry the key.

In the final stanza, the Lions, fighting every inch of the way, almost counted again, something that would have given them a chance for a tie. Adessa was given a completed pass in Penn territory for interfer ence. O’Hora then tossed one to Ba rantovieh who flipped a lateral to Cherundolo who was finally nailed on the Red and Blue 4. Then came the heart-breaking part. First Silvano, then O’Hora twice, and then Wear on a reverse failed to dent the Penh forward wall, and an important opportunity was lost. • Later O’Hora threw a long pass to Bob Morini who appeared to have the ball, only to drop it on the Penn 17- yard line. It was a tough decision for the official to make, and he ruled it .an incomplete pass. Another Lion thrust had been swept aside. Smith Plays Great Ball Harrison was the outstanding play er on the field. His runs of 14 and 20 yards to place the ball in position for the first score, plus his 94-yard thrill, give him the call over the Qua kers’ big threat, Elvers'on. But the next shining performer was also a State man, Frank Smith, who played an excellent game at end. Not far behind were Dean Hanley, Chuck Cherundolo, Tor Toretti, John Economos, and Alex Barantovich. Joe Metro did nice offensive ■work in the backficld, while Tommy Silvano was a good defensive man. State Deserved a'Better Break Considered an underdog all along, State carried the fight from the start and when it was all over had nine first downs to Penn's four. The total yards gained rushing went to the Red and Blue, however, 194 to 124. Coach Bob Higgins, although elated over the performance of his men, feels that they played, well enough to get at least an even break in the score. It is our. contention that State out played Penn and deserved the game. Certainly Harvey Harman’s boys, Rose Bowl conscious as they were, were very, very lucky to squeeze and for Soph Hop. Study yourself a little. If you are decidedly tall and brunette, by all means buy a white or bright red tunic dress. Swish through the party in taffeta. "We saw a lovely white taffeta, cut low in front with stiffened collar that stood high in the back. It was back less except for three tiny straps that fastened to the skirt, which was cut wide, the extreme fullness in the back ending in a short train. If you are short and brunette", still buy white or bright colors, but avoid the tunic. You must look as tall as possible to be stately. Black is for the decided blond. Stick to the simplicity of the Greeks, whether it be velvet, taffeta, satin, or brocade. For brownettes or the in between types, green, blue or rose are flattering, according to the shade’ that best brings out your coloring. | In Philadelphia this week-end we saw a lovely green crepe, woven with metallic threads and brocaded with a metallic thread design.

From Eric the Red Catlum right down the line to Caleb, the boasting, roaring Catlums come sweeping through the American scene. They live in Catlumville, and Catlumville is anywhere there* are Catlums, and there is Catlum blood in Ponce de Leon, Uncas the Indian, Dr. B. Franklin, Jefferson, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, and Davy Jones, John Henry, Abe Lincoln, Sam Clemens, Casey Jones, Mike Fink and Walt Whitman. Of picaresque and wandering nature, Caleb tours the country and gets himself involved in all/that is his torically important. He and the rest of the Catlums have 'constant conflicts with the Traders, an unwholesome lot from Sam. Slick to Jim Fisk (Mr. McHugh once worked for Hearst). The Traders, finally drive all the Catlums into the Country of the Great Cave, where.they remain almost obscure even to the present day.

Both teams played with equally, incomplete lineup handicaps. The seniors’ first ! upset this fall was earlier in the sea son by the sophomores, champion hockey team with five victories and one defeat.' Olive Orendorf led the forward line, attack .when she completed a pass from Peggy Frear, left wing, and suc cessfully drove the boll into the scor ing area. The forward line excelled a second time when Jean Giddings, center, .cleverly overpowered Jean Northrup’s persistent guarding and after attacking the ball by a beautiful lunge, sent it into the cage. Seniors Win Thursday Senior steam was potent Thursday, when they sealed the hockey season with a 2-to-0 scoop from the freshmen. The senior hockey record for 1936 now stands with three victories and three losses, a striking contrast to their two previous triumphant seasons. . Emma . Jane Foster, left wing, set the winning pace during the first three minutes of the game. She re ceived the ball from Pudge > Smith, dribbled it from the center field to the striking circle and with clean-cut form sent it into the cage. Following an obstruction penalty for advancing, called on freshman sticks, Sally Bushong, inner right, completed a pass from Jean Schantz, left inner, and from the'outer strik ing circle, struck a second decisive ball for the seniors. 1 QUICK PICK-UP FOR gryiRED EYES Wont to give your eyesalift?
