PAGE TWO With the Editor ii,isewnere on tills page are letters from irate readers. 'Much of their criticism is.of the editor of this paper for his editorial Friday. They are printed for various reasons, chief of which is the editor's firm belief that the space in a student paper should be open to all students. However, this point should be made clear. At the time of writing the editor definitely said (I) the College plans to send them along to Miami and (2) they will play if the Hig can. afford to put anyone in but members of the first string. It is possible to hold the editor responsible for sloppy writing when such is the case; little can be done for sloppy reading, however. The statement released by Dean Schott yester day upholds what the editor said: That we did Ilan to take our entire team down. Rumors that such was not the College policy were unfounded. The College is to be commended on their stand. For that matter, recognition should be accorded the football team itself which unanimously had agreed to an "All-play or no-play" policy. The question of Mr. Triplett's playing was a fine •distinction perhaps but the editor felt that while the half-back is a brilliant offensive player, he has been weak defensively. That belief has been confirmed by Sports writers (not Collegian's) and coaches who should know whereof they speak. Editorials - and features in The Collegian i reflect the opinions of the writer. They make no claim to represent student or University opinion. All unsigned editorials are' by the • editor.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STA'S.E COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA We Object . . . TO THE EDITOR: We object to your editorial answering Richard Frontman's clear-thinking let ter on the standing of our Negro players in the Miami-Stag football game. Our objection is mostly one of principle, main ly, your editorial policy toward this abominable situation. Please, Mr. Editor, wake up and face the facts. You lightly gloss over the importance of our colored football players because: I. "Injuries could prevent either (Triplett and Hoggarcl) from making the trip." It is even more possible our first string will incur injuries, neces sitating the use of one or both of our colored players. 2. "Neither of the men are in the starting line up." They arc slill members of the squad (note Triplett's' two sensational touchdowns against Fordham, his winning score against Colgate, and his play against Michigan State). 3. "I think, after spending two years in the Southland, they would (make it rough for any of our colored players)." For your inforMation, MIS TER EDITOR, the slighteSt effort on your part will show that the Miami coach, Jack Harding, and his assistant, Art Morse, are both Pennsyl vania men, formerly coaching at the University of Scranton. Miami had exactly one starting Southern player against Villanova last Friday night. • • . Nevertheless, if the Miami squad would resort te unusually rough tactici,• that in itself would be reason' enough to;cancel the game. But Mr. Editor, even if there were no colored players on the Penn State squad, we feel that our school has no right to play any team which fol lows a prejudicial policy regardless of how much money we make on' the . garne. As editor of the only school paper, we feel that it is your duty to condemn; not• condone, such ac tion on the part of Our Athletic Association:By virtue' of your. position as editor, you have 'the poWer to sway the opinions of our student body. How can you expect•. us to have any faith h - i what We read in the Collegian when its editor writes such pure; unadulteiated driiel; the like of WhiCh any college newspaper should be ashamed to print. Let's take a lesson from the University •of NeVada which is sdhecitiled to meet ‘MiSsiSSippi State on November :16. The slightest hint on the part of MiSSissipPi. State- inquiring about Negro Players on the. Nevada team .brpught immediate threats' of .cancellatiOn, We' are'notpublicitSr hounds, Mister Editor, but this is one time we .would like to . see our names in print-'-alciiig with our letter. —Ftpbeil L. Sproat, Joseph• Kolnick. M.'lialey, Eugene' J. EuOnec TarOt'llemaxislk7i Eiveri Nauseated . • • • TO . THE EDITOR: The second part of your article in Friday's Collegian, dealing with rtunors, nauseated me for the following reasons:• • • • 1. The obvious reasons you gave' which don't seem obvious at all; seem to be One-sided. Isn't it just as possible for some of "The RegUlars" to be injured, therebyi making it a necessity_ for Triplett 'and: his other 'Colored friend to' become . permanent starters for the remaining genies? 2. SubstitutiOns - are often the'best thing a coach can do; especially when one of the regulars isn't "hitting it." 3. A varsity squad consists of two full: teams at least; therefore, the starting eleven isn't always the best combination: (Remember Michigan State's Reader?) - • 4. You, Editor, have failed to produce authen ticity for your retort, - "Triplett is definitely not a defensive player." I challenge your right to make any such obnoxious statement. What is your foot ball background? Is. any one student on the cam pus eligible to say Who shall be classed as good, poor, fair, bad, etc. . . in regard to the team? 5. The editor failed to find' out whether or not these two boys would care to play in Miami (a news angie of the first magnitude). In defense of Wally Triplett, Editor, it seems to me that he has played as good a defensive game as any other secondary man on the squad. Also, he has proved that he can catch passes and produce touchdowns. • In athletics, Editor, there is a tendency for the athletes to suffer frtim a slight case-of "Charley horse-between-the-eins," which was probably evi—• dent in the State-Michigan State game, when we were leading by 14 points. I, too, would like to know where Frontman learned his information; then, too, if his words, prove true, I agree With him in having the game cancelled. After all; there is no room for -dis crimination on any American sporting field. Frederick W.' Smith' • What Givei . ? TO THE EDITORS Lately there has been much comment on the'subject of school spirit here at Penn State. It has been espedially noticeable in regard to our football team. On October 19th, I joined the throngs of ex ctied spectators at Beaver Field - anxiously await - - .ing the start of the' Michigan State game. State "roared" onto the field and I leaped to my feet to greet the team with a rousing cheer, a custom of most spirited colleges. Imagine my surprise and disappointment to find that "polite applause" was the vogue. Again, on October 25th, a group of students congregated; this time to see the team off for their game with Colgate. • When an enthusiastic few stepped forward to take part in the pulling of the buses to Burrowes road, someone was heard to mumble, "What the . heck are they going to do?" Then the struggling few galloped off while a silent mass of students "stared" their hilarious send-off. What Gives? When did we die? Letters Common Sense Presents L. A. Revision at Forum The two plans for the revision of the Liberal Arts curriculum will be presented by Common Sense Chib forum Tuesday, November 12 in 121 Sparks at 7:30 p.m. All students in the School of Liberal Arts are urged to - attend.' .
