Hockey Team Faces
Hershey Cubs Today
By ED McLORIE
With morale and fighting spirit at a new high since getting a
chance to work out on ice during the past week, Penn State's hockey
Lions face their second league foe, the Hershey Cubs, in the Hershey
Ice Palace tonight The Nittany sextet is out to avenge a former 4-1
league setback by the strong Penn Quakers last month
The only change in the starting
lineup for tonight's tilt will be
Larry Lightbody at goal replacing
Carl Delong, it was announced
yesterday by Coach Art Davis
According to Davis, the Lions will
be at their best strength of the
season since they have had a
chance to get in some stiff drillts
recently, but he stated that the
team is still comparatively weak
ened by lack of former practice
Recent development in league
competition that has elevated
Lion hopes is the stirring 5-1 vic
tory Lehigh garnered over the
Hershey outfit But Davis has
warned his lads to guard against
overconfidence, as the Cubs pre
sent a strong lineup of former col
legiate and high school stars
The starting lineup, as it now
stands, will be Lightbody at goal,
Bachman and Wolbert on defense,
Dewier at center and Mangerum
and Matula at the wing posts
Manager William Stodldrier '4o'
has announced that the State
puck chasers will meet Princeton
on the New Jersey rink February
2, the day after playing Hershey
a return game The Lions also
will invade West Virginia next
month to face teams in Charles
town and Huntington

after the second half opened Barr
and Christman came back strong
to repulse the threat, however, and
the Lions were pulling away as the
game ended
Clearly shown was the super
iority of the State zone defense
over the man-for-man system of
the visitors Repeatedly alert de
fensive work by the Nittanymen
resulted in interception of the ball,
while the Georgetown defenders
were unable to stop Lion pivot
plays
It was sweet revenge for the lo

Hoya hands last year, when the
Georgetown lads were co-holders
of the Eastern Conference title

Ewell To Be Only Stale
Runner In Milrose Games
By ED MeLORIE
Standing amidst a setting more
becoming for a Finnish ski patrol
captain than Penn State's ,winter
track coach, lanky Chick Werner
is a daily figure on the boqd track
on Beaver Field this wintry
weather as his Lion proteges go
through their paces preparatory to
a tough season _
"You're right, it's plenty cold up
here," Chick answered when we
told him our fingers were getting
numb "That just gives you an
idea how it is for our boys run
ning around here But they en
joy it and this air's exhilarating
and despite the hardships, it's
fun," the Nittany mentor com
mented
"Winter track is the most han
dicapped sport up here," Werner
stated as he watched his lads shiv
ering after a brisk workout "You
know that almost all the teams
we meet in those big indoor tour
naments have field houses and
right there they have the jump on
us About 25 of those teams in
the Millrose and Penn A C. meets
can practice indoors and have
more competition by the tune the
events roll around while.for us it
usually is the first action,"_he con
tinued
Werner went on to tell of the
plight of his weight men and
jumpers who have to practice un
der the football grandstands He
seemed especially irked that the
frigid temperature handicapped
his pole vaulters, while opponents
"were working out in the warm
field houses"
. .
"Just try gripping one Of those
bamboo poles in this kind of
weather," Chick flared defiantly
"And don't think a big hunk of
iron isn't plenty cold," he added,
referring to the shot putters
There are about 50 candidates
braving the icy breezes orßeaver
Field already and Werner, said
that a formal call has not Yet been
issued He added that he hoped
to have the full squad in action uv
next week
Although the Millrose games in
New York are set for February 3,
the Lion mentor stated that the
only State representative will be
record-breaker Barney Ewell in
the da.hes He explained , that
since this meet was a purely in-'
vitation affair, and Barney - got the
lone invitation, the rest of the Li
ons will have to wait befo're they
can test their prowess

THE DEANS . . .
Dr. F. C. Whitmore
By HELEN V. ATKINSON '4O
If you want a successful career
. . "first, choose a field which
Interests you, and then put all
you've got into it," Dr Frank C.
Whitmore, dean of the School of
Chemistry and Physics, advises
He adds, "If you can't find a field
that interests you, work hard any
way "
The dean had struggles of his
own when he set out on finding
a career for himself At various
times he seriously considered
civil engineering, archaeology
(when he read all the books on
the subject in the Philadelphia
Library), chemistry, Latin and
Greek teaching, and finally (he
thought) law.
He sees a great but unpredict
able future for the fields of chem-
istry and - physics "The world
of today is based on discoveries
and applications of chemistry and
physics• These sciences are really
only beginning in spite of the tri
umphs of the past hundred years
We still know relatively little, but
we are rapidly finding out"
The dean's hobbles include
swimming, wood carving, bil
liards, and collecting stamped en
velopes.

If the freshmen win the meet
customs will end immediately and
the three violators will be excus

Victory for the sophomores will

Student Poll Shows
Less F.D.R. Approval
By Student Opinion Surveys of America
Austin, Texas, January 11— Although a good maionty of Amer
ican college students continue their approval of Franklin D. Roose
velt as president, campus opinion has not kept pace with the increas
ing support that the U S voter has been giving the chief executive
since the European war broke out
A coast-to-coast referendum of
collegians taken by the Student
Surveys of America shows that
more than three out of every five
"generally approve of Roosevelt
today as president" This is only
nine-tenths of one percent less
than the vote approval students
gave F. D R a year ago this
months, according to the continu
ous index of his popularity that
the Surveys has kept These
scientific polls of college thought
are conducted through the coop
eration of nearly 150 member un
dergratuate newspapers, among
them the Penn State Collegian '
Significant are the comparisons
that now, after more than a year
of measuring student opinion, the
Surveys can make with other na
tional polls. It is clearly shown
that the moving world and na
tional events of ' recent months
have not influenced student opin
ion as much as national public
opinion, which since the start of
the war has far outstripped the
collegians in approval of the pres
ident Here is the record
Approve of F. D R Dec 38 Now
Poll of U. S Voters 55 5 64 9
Poll of U S Students 62 8 61 9
Thus, while last December
there was a greater percentage of
students in favor of Roosevelt
than there was of voters, events
since then have caused, the rank
and file to change its attitudes,
while student approval is in al
most a straight line, and even
slightly less than a year ago
Students in New England, the
Middle Atlantic and East Central
states, as usual, today are less in
favor of the president than other
sections of the country, mustering
a bare majority The Southern
states are most emphatic with 76
per cent, West Central 60, Far
West 70
This poll taken by the Student
Opinion Surveys, however, is not
an indication that collegians want
Roosevelt for a third term Twice
the Surveys has polled the stu- -
dents on this particular issue,
each time finding less than one
third approving of his , possible
candidacy in 1940
