During the pres ent intramural football season, more than sixty defeated Bucknell. Nineteen hundred and twenty-six was the date and the score was 9-to-0. It hasn’t been that our teams have been inferior to theirs. According to a member of the coaching staff there aro only two games in that period that we should have lost. But after “pointing’’ for Pitt and Penn we have generally had a let-down in the Bucknell game and the boys from Lcwisburg have grabbed the decision. This year we have a team that is much better than its record would indicate. A victory over Bucknell would give us a satisfactory if not successful, season. If we play the kind of football that we have played in the last three games we can get it. But if Sta’te looks at Bucknell the way Penn looked at State it ‘will mean a season’s record of two wins, six josses. The Bisons are “up” for this game; they didn’t play last Saturday and they will come here expecting to stretch the Ten Long Years into Eleven. DOES YOUR BROTHER LIMP? IT WAS BACK in the days which only reminiscing alumni can recall that a State football .team last boys have been injured. (This week’s games may add to the depressive total). The School of Physical Education and Athletics, in an effort to provide “athletics for all,” developed an ex tensive system of dntramuval athletics. The idea moti vating the plan is utterly worthy. Students not having sufficient ability or time for making varsity teams are offered health and diversion from the routine of study. The body beautiful housing the beautiful mind! It is not difficult to explain the astounding total of intramural football injuries. The game as it is played today is strenuous, being almost as gruelling as regula tion football. Probably nine-tentbs of the students par ticipating are not in proper physical condition to meet the test. And a tired, under-trained player is the first to become a casualty. Lack of playing equipment is a major cause of in juries. Under the present rules in force here, block ing such as is exhibited by the varsity is used. Obvi ously, an old sweatshirt and an odd pair of pants are not sufficient protection from a flying block. . The rules this season were modified to the extent that a one-hand touch would halt the runner, whereas formerly the two-hand touch system was used. In order to clearly demonstrate under the poor lighting facilities that the ball-carried was stopped, defensive players are likely to strike the runner with such vigor that a hard fall results. Injuries occurred also because there was not suffi cient faculty supervision. Students in physical educa tion and ahtletics referee the games. With few excep tions, the students arc not able to exercise entire control over the players. Roughing is permitted, and several times fights wore brought about—again resulting in in juries. At no time was there a physician on hand to care for any students who may have received injuries. Thus there was none of the prompt attention that is so neces sary when a boy is hurt playing football. The general complaints of those injured said that little attention was given to their hurts when they went to the infirmary or dispensary. The School of Physical Education and Athletics has taken steps to modify the present intramural football rules. This modification, as yet, does not necessarily guarantee against injuries. Although fully supporting the “athletics for all” policy, we think something more must be done before another intramural football season is planned. Each game must be placed, under the supervision of a faculty member on the staff of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, in order to re-enforce student referee*. Either a physician or a trainer must be on the field at all times to immediately examine any in jured players. If the blocking and touch rules are not modified, full equipment must be issued to all partici pants. Each player must be given a more thorough physical examination to insure fitness for the sport. “Athletics for all” should continue. But must in juries for all continue? THE SIMPLE RUSTICITY OF many of the Col lege buildings should impress visitors to the campus. The women’s fraternities, the Education buildings, the forestry building and other venerated shrines of anti quity stand monuments to the beauty and charm that the ugliest structure can afford the onlooker if it goes without paint long enough. Let those who will talk of “appearance” or of “save the sui'face and you save all.” To us there is something inspiring and sublime in decay. Column Capers: For years we have been reading stories about gossip columnists getting punched on the nose for printing a particularly biting squib about some per son. but so far it has not been our adventure to ex perience any such melodramatic action. However, -to night things looked bright for a while. Things had been particularly dull all evening and we had considerable ti'ouble getting gags, to fill up this space. However, one of our more alert spies reported that he had seen Harry Cromwell and Doc Kroger, fidells, take two gals into the Bijou Burlesque Satur day night and that after sitting through the first part cf the performance they left the theatre. This was news, and our journalistic nose began itching for the names of the two gals. Our first inquiry was directed to Georgia Powers. However, Georgia must have had an attack of con science (bad business for a future news hound), so when we asked who was the current favorite of Mr. Cronnvdl, she tried to protect the gal by first saying' that she didn’t know, and then later in a fit of sur prise she confessed that it was Mary Jane McGilli cuddy who was with Cromwell at the burlescjue. Be ing a gullible soul and trusting Georgia implicitely, we fell for the gag and wore all ready to use it when Bob Grubb, one of the more übiquitious members of this staff, told us that there “ain’t no such person.” At this point we experienced an awful letdown, due to both our gullibility and the desertion of one of our friends, so we set out for revenge. Jerome Weir stein '3B ..Woodrow W. Bieriy '3B After considerable thought and much arguing Lute Luttringer consented to impersonate Cromwell over the telephone after we told Georgia that we had called up Cromwell to check on the facts and had told him that she gave us the tip. Deep in the deps of the Froth office, Luttringer phoned the Collegian office and asked to speak to Georgia. When she answered, Luttringer said that he wus Harry Cromwell calling and proceeded to raise merry hell, telling Georgia that the Campuscer had called him and said that Georgia had told him, the Canipuseer, the whole sordid story. Georgia fell for our gag just about as hard as we did for hers and in a voice wracked with emotion she denied having anything to do with telling the Cam puseer about him. She also took the liberty to ex press a Tather withering opinion of us. Luttringer, at the other end of the phone, couldn’t keep from laughing any more, so .with a dire threat to have something devastating printed about her, ho For several minutes Georgia was left to wrestle with her own fate while we went into another room to have,our laugh. When we finally came out to let her in on the gag she met us with a smile and told us that the joke was on us. For a minute we tried to figure out what she meant and then she told us that she had actually called up Cromwell in a lost desperate attempt to apologize and explain that she had nothing to do with it and that she had learned then that someone must have been impersonating Cromwell when she talked to him the first time. And then she added with a diabolical grin: • “And Cromwell is very angry, and he said that he and Ross Shaffer are coming right over to the Collegian office to teach the Campuscer a thing or two and to see that the story about them taking the gals to the burlesque is not printed.” So here we sit patiently waiting—waiting—with the door locked. . \ In newspaper parlance this is known as “killing a Chinaman.” CAMPUSEER ST sittSSLV —CAMPY THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN College Affected By Security Act Student Houses Employing Help Taxable>Under Section Sll Of Social Statute Fratennties and proprietors of boarding and rooming houses are classed as employers under the Social Security Act,, Robert J. Miller, State College postmaster, announced re cently. Blanks, sent to all the house president, are to be returned to the j:ost office not later than tomorrow. Many organizations about the,Col lege do not .understand the recently enacted law and it for this reason that Postmaster Miller makes the ex planation. New Regulation Issued In section 811 (b) of the Social Security Act part (2) are found the nine classes of employment that do not come under the provisions of the measure. One of these classes is Domestic Service in a private home and regu lation 91, just issued by the Treasury explains this more fully and states that all work performed either for cash, boai'd, room or any other form of compensation in or around rooming or lodging houses, boarding houses, fraternities, clubs, hotels or commercial offices or estab lishments, do not come' under the term of Domestic • Service in a private home. Therefore any of the above places that hire a cook, maid, fire man, or a table waiter would be con sidered an employer.
