CeutlMT WMAJ Truman Okays Plan to Create 60-in-l Agency WASHINGTON—Former Pres ident Hoover said today that President Truman has approved a proposal to group about '6O government agencies in one “Housekeeping” unit. Hoover announced this to re porters after a 45-minute confer ence with Mr. Truman at the White House.. The former President heads a commission which Congress set up to study reorganization of the executive branch of the Govern ment. The commission’s report to Congress is due in January. Berlin Communists BERLlN—Berlin communists have split the city wide open by manning their own rump govern ment. The chief significance is that the Berlin split coincides with UN negotiations in Paris. Soviet officials had left the im pression that they were willing to discuss a possible solution of the Berlin blockade. WASHINGTON The United States Army has run short of money and as a result draft calls have been cut in half. That knocks down the total January call from 20,000 to 10,000. Far from approaching the army’s goal of 30,000 trainees monthly, the February call will be reduced to 5,000. Simultaneously with the announcement, the Army warned that there isn’t enough money to build the 900,000-man army au thorized by Congress.

Gettysburg College Should Be In Rose Bowl According to the George ‘Lit kenhouse” Vadasz system of pre dicting football scores, a simple system of comparing two oppos ing teams' potential strengths by their scoring capabilities, Gettys burg College should oppose Cal ifornia in the Rose Bowl next January instead of twice-beaten Northwestern. Why? Just by simply compar ing a few scores it is easy to see that Gettysburg is rated 63 points better than the Big Nine Rose Bowl choice, Northwestern. Let’s just look at those scores. Gettysburg trounced F &M 39-6 so Gettysburg is 33 points better than F & M. F & M went on to beat Lehigh 13-12 and then Le high topped Muhlenberg by fif teen points which makes Gettys burg 49 points better than Muh lenberg. Muhlenberg romped ov er Bucknell 44-14 so Gettysburg is now 79 points better than Bucknell. Bucknell only lost by 35 points to Penn State so by right Gettysburg is a 44-point favorite over the Higginsmen. The Lions smothered Temple 47- so now the Gettysburgers rate 91 points better than Temple. Temple shut out Syracuse 20-0 which makes our Gettysburg gridders 111 poin.ts better than Syracuse. Let’s get to the point' Northwestern trounced Syracuse 48- making Gettysburg 63 points better than Northwestern. Ac cording to all these facts Gettys burg should be at the Pasadena classic on January first and not Northwestern. There is “one” stumbling block in the whole system. Gettysburg, a 79 points favorite over Buck nell lost a 13-12 decision to the Bisons. There just ain’t no jus tice. t Booters To Play In Guatemala Tilt “Cotton Bowl bound” was the battle cry last year. This year it's “Guatemala bound.” During Christmas vacation the Lion soccer team will fly to the Central American country to participate in the Pan- American soccer tourney. Through the efforts of A 1 Simpson, a 1937 alumnus of the College, an invitation was extended by the Guatemalan government to the Blue and White turfmen to take part in the Pan American soccer tournament in Guatemala. Simpson, a hotel chain manager in the Central American country, in extending the invitation to Coach Bill Jeffrey stated that it would be an all-expense paid trip with the Lions participating in five exhibition games. According to Lou Bell, College Publicity Director, the Advisory Board voted to accept the invi tation and the veteran booting coach, Jeffrey, immediately wired his acceptance. Trounced Pena The soccer Lions concluded one of _ their most successful cam paigns last week by trouncing Penn 5-2 to give them a season’s record of 7 wins, one tie and an early season upset loss to Navy. Victories came over such pow erhouses as Army, Temple and Maryland. Although Jeffrey doesn't consider his present ag gregation up to par of his splend id pre-war teams, he does con sider the 1948 soccermen as the finest he has coached this decade. Penn State will be the only college team represented in the Pan American, tourney as well as the only representative from th United States. Most South American countries and all Cen tral American soccer powers will send teams to the tournament. Fly to Guatemala The Lions will fiy to Guatemala for their soccer engagement. It marks the second time that Nit tany soccer aggregations have crossed United States borders to represent the College. In 1934 Coach Jeffrey took the Lions to his homeland, Scotland. Continued on page four College Shuns Harbor Bowl A New Year’s Day bowl invi tation spumed last week by Penn State was accepted by ViUanova College yesterday as the Wildcat players agreed unanimously to meet Nevada in the Harbor Bowl at San Diego, Cal. The ViUanova squad, which had won seven, lost two and tied one this season voted unanimously to accept the bid and the College’s board of trustees approved the action. It was learned yesterday that James Milholland, acting presi dent of the College, and Dr. Carl P. Schott, head of the School of Physical Education, had refused the Harbor Bowl invitation. Neither could be contacted for comment yesterday. However, J. Harris Olewine,. member of the College Senate Committee on Athletics, indicated that the post season bowl was not considered a reputable business venture for Penn State since it is not weU established. The Harbor Bowl was created just this year by the National Broadcasting Company, which re portedly guaranteed Penn Stats $50,000 to accept. Olewine de clared that no guaranty had been made, stating also that “no good reason” could be found for the College’s acceptance of the bid. The Daily Collegian also learn ed from several sources that the College turned down a “Pepper Pot” bowl, sponsored by a Phila delphia organization of hotelmen, and an American Legion-spon sored charity game in Los An geles.
