Caught by the Captain
Capt. Philip A. Mark, noting the rash of thefts which have
befouled these environs of late, cooly twirls his nightstick and pins
the blame on "high prices and increasing scarcity of money."
Some may say that such a flat statement skirts closely to the
dangerous pit of dogmatism, but others will see that here is a prime
example of perspicacity of the sort much needed in these hectic
times.
While economics profs have been raving about the oversupply
of money in relation to the supply of goods, it has taken our phil
osophic chief gendarme to capture the elusive truth—as regards
college students, at least—of the post-war inflation.
- ,
He saw at once that the hard-pressed college student has to
buck the high price line with as inadequate a bankroll as ever. It
is a cinch, however, that this knowledge will not deter the rapier
witted policeman from pursuing the culprits whose deeds prompted
his remarks.
We Can Take Heart, Men
Dr. Kinsey is back in the news, getting ready to bring out his
second best-seller, this time about the sexual behavior of women.
According to the good doctor, women are much less responsive
to sex than men—two thirds less, in fact. And college girls are even
Less so than average, whatever that is. Their reactions are mild
and subtle, Dr. Kinsey says.
This should be immensely cheering to some men. If his date
doesn't want to kiss him good night, a man need not think that she
has an aversion to him personally.
Though she be cold, she be normal
a, spy vat.
'Swell Job'
TO THE EDITOR: It has been a long time since
we saw such good officiating in Rec Hall. I'd like
to take my hat off to the swell job the officials did
'at the American U.-State game.
Edit Briefs
Suggestions in the LA suggestion box resulted
in the placing of seven pencil sharpeners in
Sparks halls, four of which have disappeared.
Another suggestion: use heavier screws for an
choring the sharpeners.

Two words of art on the cam

Heinz Warneke, noted sculptor

informed the College that he will

third annual International Ex
hibition for Fairmount Park. He
will use the original full-size
model of the Nittany Lion, which
,s made of plaster, from which he
created the stone Lion Shrine.

Although the girls had not been

Former Lion
Coach Returns
To Grid Scene
By Ray Koehler
Hugo Bezdek, one of football's
most domineering Nittany figures
during the first quarter of the
20th century, and guiding gen
ius behind the powerful Penn
State grid machines in the early
'2o's, has returned to the pigskin
scene.
Wherever football oldtimers get
together, the name of Hugo Bez
dek, the "Leo Durocher" of some
two-score years ago, is sure to
crop up.
But who and what manner of
man is this Bezdek? In a sentence,
he is one of those vanishing Am
erican football pioneers who have
refused to bite the dust of anti
quity, he is the man who estab
lished Penn State's physical edu
cation course and he is an old
ster who remembers using the
T-formation in its infancy.
Relinquishing the reins of a
gentleman farmer at his 130-acre
farm near Doylestown, Bezdek is
returning to the sport from which
he received his MA—in football
tacticianing—by being appointed
to the post of head whiperacker
at the newly-formed American
Agricultural College.
SPINNER PLAT
Credited with originating the
spinner through an accident in
1906, Bezdek is a living example
of the "life-begins-at-sixty" aph
orism, and he is determined to
prove that "If Harry Truman can
run a country at 64, I can still
get out and show some boys how
to play football. "
The man who made football
history when his unranked Ore
gon upstarts beat a highly-fa
vored Penn eleven in the 1917
Rose Bowl game will make the
deviation from P.O.A. (Professor
of Agriculture) to that of F.T.E.
(Football Tactician Extraordin
aire) beginning the last week in
March.
The N.A.C. was only recently
g r ant e d college status, being
formerly known as the National
Farm School.
Bez coached the Nittany Lions
from. 1918 until 1929, then stuck
around until 1936 as athletic dir
ector at the Centre County Col
lege, when he bowed out under
the persistent baying of the alum
ni wolves.
UNDEFEATED UNTIL '23
Described as having a "build
like a wardrobe trunk," the
square-shouldered gent had great
undefeated teams for three sea
sons up to 1923, although being
tied four times.
Tributes to the coaching abil
ities of Bezdek while at Penn
State were such outstanding
players as backs Charley 'Gang'
Way, Glenn Killinger, now coach
