Nittanym en Captialize
On 2 Breaks To Tally
By HERB CAHAN
• More than 17,000 bewildered
fans were treated to a football
double-header for the' price of
one game in Archbold stadium
at Syracuse last Saturday. Penn
State won the first game, 13-0,
and Syracuse took the second
encounter, 19-0. But, according
to the rules of the game, the rec
ords show a single and singular•
victory' for the Orange, 19-13.
The Nittany Lions completely
outclassed the New Yorkers in the.
first half, I•ut Syracuse came back to
walk all over, and consequently take,
the Lions with a vicious, seemingly
unstoppable second half drive.

half they would usually find end

surprising sophomores, waiting for
the Lion ball-carrier in the Nittany
baeldield.
The State team played like an ideal
football machine in the first half,
sparkplugged as usual by \Vindy
Wear and Harry Harrison. The line
opened big holes on the offense and
crashed thrmigh on the defense to
smear the runner, rush the passer,
and block one kick.
Penalty Leads to Score
They took advantage of two breaks
to score, and might have pushed over
two more touchdowns when'two well,
directed passes slipped off the finger
tips of potential receivers. But the
change in the second half was unbe
lievable. Syracuse seemed to do just
as it pleased and the Lions couldn't

Look To Faculty's Judgement
By CHARLES M. WILEELF.I2, JB
State College's "secrecy election" for Burgess between incum
bent Wilbur F. Leitzell. Republican, and Ruel E. Mohnkern, Demo
cral, broadened into a three-cornered battle late last neck when
William P. Bell announced his candidacy on the Independent
ticket.
Several voters are expected to "sneak" into the polls today to
decide the outcome. The term "secrecy" has come into the issue
because oday's election is generally expected to be the lightest

Wider Use Of Electricity,
PUC Head Predicts
A general redistribution of the

predicted by Dennis J. Driscoll, chair
, man of Lie Pennsylvania Public Utili
ties Commission, Friday
Jingle:aim; that the TUC's' aim is
to give the people equality of bargain
ing lower with the public utilities by
maintainng the earning power of the
utilities at Il per cent of their capital
investment. tall, white-haired, sixty
ish Driscoll surmised in round-aboutl
manner: "The lower the rate, the!
wider the use of electricity, the lower
the rate."
Parallels National Plan
(one of the questions facing the
Special Congressional SOSSkAI this
month will be Roosevelt's regional
planing program. Sin-arta...led by
Senator Norris and Representative
:11zumlield, the plan would chop t h e
country into seven areas, create
planning beards to study condi
tions, strive to accomplish on a na
tional scale, through a long-range
hydro-electric program similar to
TVA, Bonneville, and Grand Cou
lee, that which the I'UC is attempt
ing to do in this state.)
Highlights of the new public utili
ties law, Driscoll pointed out, are the
powers granted to the commission to
establish temporary rates pending in
vestigation, shifting of the burdenof
proof from private complainant to
company, and the provision for an au
tomatic sliding scale to be adjusted to
all public utilities except the rail
roads.
Contrary to popular belief. Driscoll
said. the law was not declared 1111e011-
Stitlltiollill in the York-Edison ease at
Scranton last fttilnight as the court
rendered a 2-1 decision denying the
rontention that it violated the "due
process" clause. A MTH rate unani
mous opinion delivered by the 'court.
however. requires the commission Ic
reveal the information upon which
temporary rate cuts arc based. This
will be done, Driscoll added.

Students Interested
Just what. the purpose is in k2eping
the election cloaked in silence thus
far is debatable. Students in partieu

"I would treat student violations with

"Any action of students that en
