WatmaughTo - Play
For Collegian
Dance
The annual, Collegian dunce, which
opens the social season this year at
11cc hall. on October 8, will feature
:the music of Booth Watmough and
his orchestra and a beauty show in
which the much-discussed "Miss '4l"
will be revealed to the gaze of all.
Booth Watmough, just about the
"tops" as far as campus bands go, is
a favorite of long standing among
students here. His sensational rise
in popularity last year has placed him
on the top of the heap in 'the 'student
mind.
While Booth and the bays appeal to
the ear, "Miss '4l" will appeal to the
eye. Who she is and who chooses her
is a mystery not to be revealed until
October 8. It is sufficient to say that
she will come front the ranks of this
year's freshman , girls, and will be
chosen for:her beauty alone.
Admission,to the dance ;May be ob
tained only with'the free ticket which
is given away with every .subscrip
ties to the Collegian and in no other
manner. Subscriptions sell for $2.50
per year and $1.50 per semester and

Fall, 2649 As Defense
Fails To Stop Passes
Lions Score First But Trail At Half, 6-19; Last
Quarter Rally Ties Count, Only To
Lose In Closing Minutes
In a free-scoring battle of poor pass defenses, Penn State
lost a heart-breaking opening game to Cornell at Ithaca Saturday,
26-19.
Although this seemed to be the major cause for the Lion de
feat, the defense as a whole was rather weak. But, a number of
reasons could be offered for the poor defensive work, such as—
the hot weather; playing a major op
ponent in the first game of the sea
son; or the weakened condition of the
team due to injuries.

and not to lay the burden of the de

particular stress .in practice sessions

• But, all in all, the game was a thrill
ing one, providing the small crowd of
about 6000 with a full afternoon of
enjoyable football. The game had its
full share of long runs, good kicking,
passing, and some good tackling an
both sides.
Within seven and one-half minutes
of the first quarter, the Higginsmen
had crashed over for the first touch
down. Metro's opening kick-oIT to
Bose on Cornell's five-yard line was
returned to the Red 19.
Then, after an exchange of punts,
Harrison went around left end for
five yards and Lloyd Ickes plunked a
pass into the waiting ,arms of 30e
Adessa, who went to Cornell's 15-yard
itripc—a gain of 31 yards.

Taking the ball on their own 4p

punt had gone out of bounds,
the Ithacans needed only nine plays
to score their third touchdown, when
Baker skirted his own right end to
