On Penn State Yesterday we printed, in en tirety, the reply of Cyril Canter man, a Penn student, to our re cent discourse on why Penn and Penn State should meet annually on the football field. Although Mother told us when we left home never to "lock horns in debate," we can not fend the urge to comment on Mr. Canterman's points. Trying to explain Penn's sched uling policy, which we dubbed "inscrutable," he says, "Penn, as an Ivy League school, maintains athletic relationships with other Ivy League schools. These an cient rivalries, encrusted in Ivy League tradition, are of long standing, and many of them have become traditional with the school. So it is natural that Ivy League teams should be promi nent on Penn's football slate each year." —That Penn should malt to maintain Ivy League "tradi tie* "- is commendable in our min.d, but what determines a traditional rivalry? If number of. years spanned by a grid series is the criterion, then the Penn.- Penn State relationship is as much a tradition as two of four of Penn's .Ivy League contacts on which we have facts. Penn State first played Penn in 4890; Ivy Leaguers Cornell and Dartmouth did not do that till 1893 and 1896. Princeton and Co lumbia—the other two Ivy teams which our data covers—began meeting Penn earlier than did Penn State, in 1876 and 1878 re spectively. If tradition is determined by number of games, then the Penn - Penn State series ranks as a more solid tradition than WHAT WILL YOU DO AFTER YOU GRADUATE?

Penn has encountered Dartmouth 18 times, Columbia 30, Penn State 39, Princeton 41 and Cornell 54. Thus, we do not disclaim Penn's Ivy League connections, but maintain that the Penn- Penn State tie is in fact at least as strong as that with certain Ivy elevens. • Mr. Canterman also says: "In addition, Penn traditionally plays each of the two service acad emies. . . . These teams, plus one or two inter-regional or inter sectional teams. comprise Penn's gridiron schedule each year." —We certainly don't want to denrive Penn of the Navy and Army games. Nowadays almost any school considers its schedule attractive if Army or Navy graces the slate. (Penn, incidentally, has battled Navy 32 times, Army 9.) We think that an annual Penn- Penn State game is justifiable, and an end to be sought by both parties, because there is unde niably much more to be gained —financially, traditionally and in prestige—than from, say. a Penn-Virginia game of '47, a Penn-Lafayette game of '47 or a Penn-Wash-Lee game of '4B. In other words, call it what you will —perhaps "inter - regional"—but still stage a Penn - Penn State game yearly. It once was a tra dition: From 1890 through • 1939, only 12 years passed without a Penn-Penn State gridiron battle. Our correspondent leans our way when he states: "Many of us here at Penn would like to see more frequent athletic en counters with Penn State, and we hope that such will be pos sible in the near future." —lf Penn seeks to perpetuate old, traditional ties, there are few TOCCI THE DAIDY COLLEGIAN.

That it is the desire of Penn's athletic authorities is appar ently not so. Have they an un steady leg to stand on? Need we point out that an annual Penn-Penn State foot ball fray is surely the aim or desire of: a) players of both teams: b) alumni of both institu tions, who recently said so by actual vote: IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION ANNOUNCEMENT TO PENN STATE STUDENTS SPRING VACATION GREYHOUND LINES will operate SPECIAL BUSES from the WEST PARKING LOT, located South of RECREATION HALL. _Time of departure will be 12:45 P.M.
