football Send-off
Set For Tinuirrow
Penn State's undefeated gridiron
squad will get an All-College send
off tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. when
they leave Co-op corner for Syra
cause.
"We should have a good turn
out," said Walt Sottung '4l, head
cheer-leader, last night. "The Tem
ple send-off was a sample of what
we expect. Torriorrow everybody
should participate in the demon
stration."
Cheerleaders will be present to
lead the rally. Songs and cheers
will see the Lions depart to do bat
tle with the Orangemen. Fratern
ity heads are cooperating with
Jack Brand '4l,' president of the
Athletic Association, and Walt
Sottung, who are in charge of the
send-off program.
All-College President Arnold C.
Laich '4l made a strong plea for
student cooperation last night
When he said, "If the entire stu
dent 'body will show the team that
it is behind them, it will give the
men that extra lift which may
mean so much in Saturday's game.
Let's all get out and make this a
real send-off."

Meanwhile, in State College stu
dents were busy paying off election
bets. Erik S. Moeller '4l and Carl
Singhouse '44 found themselves
with cue sticks, down on their
hands and knees pushing potatoes
through the Corner Room revolv
ing doors, through the restaurant
itself, and back through the doors.
William T. Christman, Jr. '43 and
Frank J. Marmion, Jr. '42 were the
Democrats on the winning side of
the bet.
A happier boy than these three
overconfident Republicans was J.
Hilary Kelley '43 whose father,
Augustine B. Kelley (D) was elect
ed to the U. S. House of Repre
sentatives.
