Grid Pioneer
Cheers State
There will be a gridiron "pio
neer" in the Temple Stadium to
morrow when Penn State and
Temple collide in the 500th inter
collegiate football game that the
Nittany Lions have played.
This pioneer is Charles C. Hil
debrand of Philadelphia. one of
six living members of the Col•
lege's first football team.
Mr. Hildebrand entered Penn
State in 1886. and helped organize
the team that met Bucknell Uni
versity twice in 1887. The Lions
won both games.
Although a group of Penn State
students tried to organize a foot
ball team •six years earlier in
1881. it wasn't too successful and
the team wasn't officially recog
nized until the eleven of which
Charles Hildebrand was a mem
ber scheduled the two games
against Bucknell.
Mr. Hildebrand. a retired busi
ness man, is one of State's most
avid fans and never misses the
annual homecoming game at State
College, or the Lion excursions to
Philadelphia. He boasts that he
has seen every Penn-Penn State

Ogontz avenue and
City Lion.
Dear Gang.
Forgot to tell you that I voted
Tuesday down here. A man put
a dollar on the lion and said,
"They won't know you're a
lion, just don't roar and go in
and vote." I pulled a lever
marked "Dillworth" " and the
"Tilt" lights went on. So I
pulled one marked "Samuels"
and 4 quarters rolled out of the
slot.
It's been lonesome down here
without the gang. The Temple
bunch has been riding me.
They keep reciting "The Owl
and the Pussy Cat." Last night
I went to sleep counting Slos
berg's jumping over a goal
post. You fellows must smother
the bird.
Picked up a hot rumor. Tem
ple is planning to use some
sandhogs on the squad to dig a
tunnel under Sieve Suhey and
John Nolan. A special tool rack
for picks and shovels has been
set up behind the Temple
bench.
See you tomorrow,
The Lion.

Cabinet Probes
Pollock Circle
Pollock Circle greviences will
be throughly investigated by All_
College Cabinet, it was decided
by Cabinet last night.
A report by Harris Gilbert,
chairman of the food conserva
tion committee revealed that 325
Pollock Circle residents voted
against cooperating with Presi
dent Truman's food conservation
program while only 91 favored
the plan.
In his report to Cabinet, Harris
pointed out that "the vote is not
based on a hostile feeling towards
food conservation• Rather there
is such a feeling of embitterment
as a result of various inequities.
"Such complaints as the ones
against the quality of the food,
the service, the menus. and the
financial arrangements are given
as the reasons for an embitter
ment so strong that it coul ' moti
vate a group of men, largely vet
erans, to cast a vote against an
appeal to patriotism."
Appointed to investigate the
situation are All-College Presi
dent Thomas Lannen, chairman,
Harris Gilbert, Edward Banyai,
Allan Ostar, and Robert Troxell.
Banyai later pointed out that
the food bill at Pollock Circle
averaged $1.73 per clay while the
average fraternity food bill aver
aged $1.32 per day, according to
a report he had received from the
Pollock Circle Food Committee.
President Lannen also appoint
ed a committee headed by Robert
Troxell to investigate the advis
ability of changing the All-Col
lege Constitution to include a re
presentative from Winderest.
