Douglas, author, ad vanced unusual opinions on the sub ject of "Personal Adequacy” in Schwab auditorium last night before a large audience. Di\ Douglas, who is noted particu larly for his two novels, "Magnificent; Obsession” and "Forgive Us Our Trespasses,” refers.to his two suc cesses as a “pair of old-fahioned nov els in which the characters arc tire somely decent and everything turns out happily in the end.” The popu lar author, who has been a minister for many years, has among his works various religious books and essays to his credit. It was while he was •writ ing one of these that it occurred to him to put his ideas in the more popu ular story form which resulted in Magnificent Obsession.” Tn appearance, Douglas is tall, dis tinguished-looking, very unpastorlike, and equally unliterary, with a faint suggestion of an ‘lndiana accent still clinging to his voice. "I came into this fiction game,” he says, "too late to take on any airs or cultivate the eccentricities which one loves to associate with toilers in this field.” Noon Tomorrow Final Date for Photographs The final date for taking senior pictures for the photographic sec tion of the 1937 La- Vio will be at noon tomorrow.

Holiday Exhibits Offer Varied Fare To State’s Art Lovers Outlining the Art Exhibitions at the disposal of vacationing art lo%’ers, Prof. J. Burn Hclme, of the depart ment of architecture, characterized the array of exhibits as one of the finest ever to have graced American galleries. Showings of Picasso, De gas, Benton, Orozco, Rivera, Cezanne, and many contemporary artists should run the whole gamut of artis tic tastes. Pittsburgh provides the center of attraction in Pennsylvania with its 1936 edition of the International Ex position of Paintings, sponsored by the Carnegie Institute. The exposi tion, designed to give a complete cross-section ' of art, is perhaps the world’s miost persistent and selective single collection of contemporary works. All art exhibited at the show is selected by an International Com mittee. Leon Kroll, foremost Amer ican painter, selected as prize winner by the committee, will he represented at the showing. Professor Helme has' recommended this exhibit to his art classes as the most comprehensive modern showing. Not to be outdone, the Philadelphia Museum of Art greets the vacationer with a complete exhibition of the 19th century French master, Edgar Degas. Ex-Student, in Europe, Reports Wide Fascist Aid to Insurgents ?‘A democratic government, set up by the vast majority of the people of Spain, is being overthrown by a small military clique and professional for eign soldiers, largely because the rest of the world refuses to help the legal government of the Spanish people,” Miss Eleanor Rathbone, Independent Conservative Member of the British Parliament, said recently at a meet ing in London attended by Eleanor Goldsmith ’3G. Miss Goldsmith, who is travelling in Europe, attended a meeting held at the Friend’s Meeting-House in Lon don where the speakers were mem bers of Parliament who had just re- Plans To Modify I. M. Grid Game Board Plans To Drop Football, Make New Rules, or Form 150-Pound Eleven The Intramural Board, in conjunc tion with the School of Physical Edu cation and Athletics, is formulating plans for the modification of intra mural football in order to prevent in juries. Three plans are under dis cussion and a decision will be reached soon after the Thanksgiving vacation. The possibilities for changes arc: 1. Entire elimination -of football from the list of fifteen .intramural sports. 2. Change of the present rules to a non-charging game using nine play ers, prohibiting crouching on the line, and having the men stand, each being eligible to. receive parses. 3. Forma tion of an all-college lf)0-pcund foot ball team, similar to that used by Yale, Rutgers, and Princeton. Board Answcrs-Editoriat In a letter to the the Intramural Board • answered last week’s editorial demanding a change in the intramural football rules and pointing' out- the'’numbrous injuries resulting this year. The letter stated that the Board did modify the rules this yeur, but since that action failed to eliminate injuries, the Board would follow the desires of students and even do away, with the sport entirely. In defense of the charge that suf ficient faculty supervision and lack of medical attention was obvious, the letter said this was true because the School of Phj’sical Education and Athletics and the health service were both under-staffed. Charity Drive Planned By Freshman Council Considered to be one of the foremost impressionist painters, Degas is known for his beautiful tonal quali ties. The showing includes many pic tures borrowed from European own ers. ' The Whitney Museum of Art, at 10 Eighth street, New York City, offers a complete set of modern American paintings and frescoes. Gropper’s “The Senate” and Benton’s frescoes in the reading room are the features of the exhibit. The Benton frescoes are the foremost American examples of the true fresco, painted directly on wet plaster. The murals of Orozco can be seen at the New School for Social Research and those of Rivera at the New Worker’s School. The showing of Picasso’s works at the Jacques Seligmann Galleries, at Fifty-first street, opposite Rockefeller Center, are considered by Professor Heline to bo as fine a show as we have ever had in America. It includes all of the artist’s works during- his: “Rose ami Blue" period. The Metro politan Museum of Art has its usual fine showing of the works of the mas ters, of glass and china art, prints, and a newly' arranged Pompeiun Ex hibit. rgiait. turned from the bloody scenes in Spain. William Dobbie, M. P., who had been to Toledo und Madrid where he was investigating the status of the non-intervention pact signed by most of the governments of Europe, report ed that the agreement to stay out of the war has been shamefully disre garded by the fascist powers, Italy and Germany, fie saw a German plane, which the Nazi pilot claimed was merely a passenger plane, detain ed by loyalists because it was fully complemented with loaded bomb racks. Another German plane was shot down by a loyalist pilot near Mr. Dobbie. The Moorish forces fighting with the fascist rebels were recruited by General Franco on the promise of pil lage and loot, said Mr. Dobbie. { Miss Rathbone told cf an English 1 Lord who saw a fighting plane being landed in Spain and assembled for action. The nobleman asked the fas cist pilot why this clear casa-of inter vention was being enacted. The fas cist pilot shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Nobody in my country pays any attention to that agreement." Miss Rathbone stated that her in vestigations showed that Russia, Eng land,- and France hud observed the non-intervention pact until the viola tions of the fascist nations had been clearly proven. “Then,” said the woman M. P., “Russia announced her stand. She gave full warning and lias been entirely above-board about the matter.”. The speakers were [joined by John Strachey, English economist, in a plea to England to send arms, fowl, and clothing to the beleaguered democ racy, fighting against the military minority, well-armed by the -fascist powers.

The triumph puts the Lions on the top of the Eastern Conference, along I with Brown and Syracuse. Both Penn State and Brown won four league l tilts and tied two, while Syracuse j shows three wins and two deadlocks. The championship may be declared a tie at the January meeting of the Eastern Intercollegiate Soccer Foot ball Association, it was learned today. However, major victories over Yale and Navy-, and a stronger and more representative schedule, should put the Nittany Liens first in the consid eration of the ruling body. McEwan Paces Team Captain Bill McEwan again led the Penn State scoring as he tallied the first two goals in the second and third periods. Frank Megruil added the final Lion goal in the last quarter. The bocters banded together in their final contest and played the best game of the season, definitely wiping away any traces of the mid-year slump that cost them two ties. With every man working as a unit, the Nittany eleven had little difficulty with the highly rated Navy. Probably the outstanding perform ance of the day was put on by Frank Osterlund, Lion inside right. Always playing a tricky passing game with the • thought of putting the ball in position for McEwan to score, Oster lund rose to new heights that estab lish him as one of the .greatest assets to. Penn State soccer. Mandel, Spyker Star The Nittany halfback line played an effective game that kept the ball in possession throughout. Particularly impressive was the work of Eddie Mandel, and the sophomore, Freddy Spyker. With Phil Barnes leading the defense from his fullback post, the Midshipmen were given' little op portunity to tally. McEwan’s two goals left him one short of the intercollegiate record of twenty he established in 1934, His nineteen tallies place him far ahead of any forward in Eastern competi tion, a player totaling nine ; goals. The Navy win was the twenty fifth straight triumph without defeat for Penn State since 1932. There were three ties in that period, two of which occurred this year. Six panics were won in 1933, six in 193/ seven last year, and six this season. Soccer Socks Navy played spotty soccer all day .. .

Whenever our Nittany Lions get hungry they go 9-1 yard: that way Saturday and ate twice— once in one gulp and another time in 1 10 bites. | The score was 14-to-0 as John Pat rick duplicated Harry Harrison’s run ; last week against Penn and then cul minated a 94-yard drive by crashing ever from the 1-yard line in the third quarter. Tommy Siivano and Joe Metro kicked extra points. The team car ried their leader, Chuck Cherundolo, State’s greatest center, off the field, and the end of another football sea son was accomplished. An Amazing End It was amazing, this last game of the Lions, as they put a satisfactory end mark on an otherwise disappoint ing season by hammering at the Buck nell goal line all day for their first victory over the Bisons in 10 years. From the second half of the Cor nell game, State put a football team on the field that played football. Sat urday the Lions sang,their swan song with more gusto than they have in many years. Starting for the last 1 time, Cherun dolo, Smith, O’Hora, and Siivano played bang-up ball, Cherundclo du plicating his many sterling perform ances and O’Hora doing the best work of his career with his smashing drives. Lou Barth, Roy Schuyler, Art Yett, Bob Morini, Joe Krupa, and Bill Pearlman also entered their last game and were part of that driving Nittany machine. Perhaps the best game of the af ternoon was played by John Econo mes, junior guard, who was truly the fifth man in the Bucknell backficld. A description of the 94-yard run of Patrick's on the opening kick-off is a duplication of Harrison’s affairs at Penn. It was the same thing— straight down the middle and a cut to the side mixed with a clever piece of running. Not u man touched John. State Threatens Often The thrill of victory was shadowed only by the realization that the score was almost 35-to-0. O’Hora fumbled on a sustained drive in the first quar ter on the 25-yard line, ending what looked like a sure bet. Again in that first quarter, State marched 78 yards to the goal line only to have Buck neil’s Stu Smith take the ball from Harrison as he crossed the goal. Ami then as the first half ended, Harrison took a pass from O’Hora and scored as the whislte blew, only to find that the Lions had been offside. The Bisons were dangerous but once, in the second quarter, when they drove for 4 ■first downs to the Lion 25. but that was all. The Lion super iority was told in first downs, 17 to 7, and in yards rushing, 359 to 84. With 3 victories against 5 defeats, the season was far from being a howl ing success. From the middle of the Cornell tilt, the Lions performed in scnsaticnal style, but it was those two and one-half games before that spell ed disaster for the season. Nobody thought they would beat Pitt and Penn, and had they played ail year as they did Saturday those would be the only blemishes. The year proves that the Lions can click when wont and that no player, no matter how great, can get national recognition without a winning ball dub.
