CONGRATULATIONS
CONGRATULATIONS AND PRAISE arc 'justly
duetlie Nittany football .team for its great comeback
and victory over he• traditional rival, Penn,.on Frank
lin Field Saturday.
This first victory over Non since 1929 and first ma
jOr win of any proportion since Villanova was quashed.
three years ago by Hill Cooper and Lefty,- Knapp. was
particularly remarkable in face of the bitt . er. disappoint
ment and blow to morale that was encountei•edthe week
before.
It demonstrated a great competitive' spirit and , cOrne
back in the face of seemingly unbeatable—and uncon
trollable odds.
State sent her two money players through'the air for
the score and protected that lead,with, a magnificent de
fense the remainder of the way. She cannot be blamed
for protecting that lead, preferring to win over pro
viding a wide-open game in the second half for the 50,-
000 cash customers. Stich a Procedure might - have had
disastrous results. Contrary to comment by various
Philadelphia papers, it would seem that State played'
smart football.
. Particularly gratifying was the ability of Harry Har
rison to repeat. before the home town fans, and
.of
Rab Wear to shake oil the bitterness of the previous
week to resume his post as the spark-plug of the team.
Great defensive work was done by Sammy Donato;
Denny' DoMarino, Alex- Barantovich, Joe Peel; and
Lloyd Ickes. And the rest of the team was• right: in,
there, no ifs, ands, or huts.
tVith.a rebuilt morale, and a taste of big-time victory,
overnight a different complex has been cast for the
yeitr's fortunes
THE FORGOTTEN TEAM
ALTHOUGH THE LION hooters. face Navy, Sat
diday, it is a conservative prediction that Penn State
has its fifth undefeated soccer team this. Year. Another
Jeffrey-Coached combination will make Eastern soccer
history. But will it be that way next. year?
Bill Jeffrey will lose five Men by graduation next
June. Five 'positions will have to,. be filled from the
prc.icnt freshman team. Luckily, the Cubs are also,tin
defeated in five genies. But if things were left• to the
Athletic ,association there would be no winning soccer
team because there would be no material from a fresh
man team.
Freshman soccer is the only yearling team of a ma
jor sport that has net been fully recognized: , •
, The Athletic association has• never attempted to de
velop material for varsity soccer by giving the fresh
men sufficient experience under, beneficial: conditions.
The Athletic association has not provided for fresh-
man uniforms. • Playing soccer with improper shoes. is
detrimental to any man, and uniforms not only gitm
the team a feeling of organization, bfit also increase
passing efficiency. Soccer is the only, major sport
with an unequipped freshman team.' •
The Athletic association has not taken enough inter
est in the welfare of one of tWo College's most highly
rated sports to draw up a schedule , for the fieshman
team. Again this is the only major sport in- which such
a condition exists.
The Athletic association has made no: provision. for a.
freshman playing field. The Cub team cannot play
on the practice field—the varsity uses it 4. they are
chaSed off the intramural football' fields whenever there
la a game.
No coach is appointed to ti.sist. Bill. Jeffrey with' the
freshmen. Since Jeffrey's time is completely taken. up
by the varsity, the freshman would have had. little train
ing had Jeffrey himself - riot obtained an assistant:
But with all this the freshmen are playing hard this
season. Because they're trying to EARN. what should
have been GIVEN to the yearling soccer team long be
fore this class began in September. Get oil the ball,
Athletic association. Give the freshmen. and the Penn
State soccer teams of the future a break that they de
served years ago.—R. B. Nl
THE VACATION
IN GRANTING a Thanksgiving vacation, the Sen
ate showed a gratifying attitude toward sincere stu
dent wishes and opinion.
Students should show, their appreciation of the vaca
tion, granted as it was at the last minute, by not.trying
to enlarge the time off by cutting before and' after the
vacation. Ample time has been given to' get home and
back again. Students should not abusa•the , move bg be-
ing unreasonable.

OLD MANIA
Penn Game
It was the same big week-end stuff, with only one
ll=
That was the goal post fight. Thrilled after beat
ing Penn for the first time since 1929, Penn State
students and alumni rushed for the south goal posts
and a terrific fight ensued. For a. halt hour, the bat
tle swayed back and. forth,, and' so did the goal posts.
Penn defenders were too tough• and 'arter attempting
to get the north crossbar, everybody gave up and'
went home.,..
Results of the tight were. numerous. Clothes were
ripped: to hrecis. A Penn man got a dislocated col
larbone. Headaches and: black, eyes were common.
Philadelphia kids• are like' Ice . eltes:' They pick up
game- programs and attempt to sell them after the
game. They charge two cents. They walk for blocks
with, their sales talk- and a prospective buyer. One ,
kid finally paid a smooth apple a penny to - Who the
thing: •

Penn. students remain the same. ' Very superior.
They have - changed: a bit, though. They now admit
their football team is pretty sa d :

On. the. Back
Cash Butoski. and Nick Semenca,went down to the
game in their car, Cleopatra. They left Philadelphia
early Sunday morning and headdd for State College.
Cleopatra acted up Just as she did in history, and af

A kindly farmer and his family decided in take a

number, 73 never 'returned.
In October 1917, students and fac

Main and with solemn ceremonies, the
'Student Training Corps was estab

men began immediately and draft pro

Centre County 'Draft board.
