STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 14, 1950 While the Lions are slight fav orites, the battle of winged-T for mations could go either way. De spite the poor season mark of the Orange, Coach Ben Schwartzwal der, in his second season at the helm, fields one of the strongest Syracuse elevens in recent years. Working from the quarterback position in his unbalanced winged-T, Schwartzwalder ha s one of the smoothest operatives in the• country in Bernie Custis. A great ball-handler and runner, Custis was one of the nation's leading passers last year when he completed 70 of 134 passes for 1121 yards. Pass Defense Stressed Realizing that setting up a cur tain against Custis' aerial on slaught was his major problem, Nittany Coach Rip Engle has stressed pass defense all week. Engle, however, has not commit ted the mistake of neglecting the Syracuse ground game, which has demonstrated its explosiveness in the past. Schwartzwalder's charges will be giving away weight and ex oerience. .FoUrteen of the star ters in his two platoons system are sophomores, with only six juniors and two seniors :fisted as regulars. • Sen. Francis Myers Plans Speech In Town United States Senator Francis J. Myers will speak in State Col lege Mon da y morning on a branch of his re-election cam paign tour. The Democratic Senator will give a brief talk on Co-Op Cor ner, Allen street and College ave nue, at 11:55 a.m. Enthusiastic Audience Approves 'Private Lives', Players Opening By RON BONN A packed house gave over whelming approval to Players' production "Private Lives" at its Center Stage opening last night. ,The old Noel Coward script seemed to stand the test of time fairly well, although the always adequate, usually excellent cast must take much of the credit for helping the play over its more stereotyped parts. Pioneer Farce The play itself was a pioneer in the Cowardish sophisticated farce comedy. Unfortunately, an almost incredible number of screen and stage imitations since "Lives' " 1930 opening have dead ened its effect somewhat, with some sequences of dialogue al most becoming theatrical cliches, predictable to all. The first night audience found little to complain of, however, in the excellent Players show. Anne Wahl, perhaps the most competent actress in the Players company, played the part of Am anda, a divorcee who runs off with her ex-husband on her wed ding night with the new spouse, Nash Forum Talk Is Witty, Original By PAUL POORMAN Throwing humorous personal experiences and rhymes at an ap preciative audience so fast that they could hardly get their laughs in edgewise, Ogden Nash last night told almost 1000 people in Schwab auditorium the story of his rise in the writing field to where he is today. Mr. Nash told the almost con tinually grinning assemblage of his progression from an "ob noxious tot" to the point where he is now known as the "candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" man. He began by recounting his ex periences with middle age, which he does not view with any mis givings at all. Treat for Audience Following his discussion of 'middle age, he announced that he,l had a great treat in store for the audience. He was not going to tell them about his tour in Eu rope. He explained this by say ing that he felt himself in adequately prepared to lecture on the trip due to always riding backward, whether on train, bus or taxi. It seemed to him, he said, as if "Europe, France, and Italy were constantly receding. Mr. Nash then went on to di vulge some of his experiences in Hollywood, writing movie scripts. It was this brief and sad excursion that convinced him that he should go back to his regular job of "trying to make bad rhymes sound good." He began writing for The New Yorker_ in 1930, and .has- ever since been a friend and contribu ter to the magazine. Recited Poems He then recited about ten of his poems, beginning with one he considered suitable to be read, or heard, while hanging upside down, called "Allow Me, Madam, But It Won't Help." He followed : with "Song To Be Sung By The Father of an Infant Girl," "Piano Tuner, Untune Me That Tune," "Seaside Serenade," and "I Do,' I Will, I Have." The last was his attempt to define marriage. Mr. Nash concluded his talk with a scientific poem, "The Strange Case of the Entomolo gist's Heart," the story of the scientist who, when finally told that at the sight of him, his girl friend "lit up like a firefly," re plied, "What a strange place for a girl to light up." and was completely carried away in the role. So evidently, was the audience. Tall, slim Miss Wahl is beau tifully facile in switching from the seductive lovely to the hair pulling harridan, with all the ranges in between. Her husky voice is an especially valuable asset in the Amanda role. Richard Powdren, as Eiyot, the ex-husband involved, who also deserts a new mate on their w e d ding night, was the epitome of the Coward type lead. T h e brisk, flip play boy Englishman emerges delight fully under Pow drell's interpre tation. A fine sense of timing helps P o w drell in the part. Thrs is an essential in such a role and quite often means the difference between a bored and a roaring audience in situation comedy. The small supporting cast was good generalig e aitiamigiiasome 41&.• Political Parties To Hold Organization Meetings Both the Lion and the State parties have scheduled clique meetings for tomorrow night. The Lion party will meet in 121 Sparks at 7 p.m., and the State party will meet at the same time in 119 Osmond. Hugh Stevens, clique chairman of the Lion party, said that the meeting is scheduled for opening nominations for clique officers. The State party meeting will be primarily an organizational one to orient students as to party works. Harry Cover, clique chair man, said. The meetings are planned by both parties to organize for the fall elections of freshmen an d sophomore class officers. A presi dent, vice-president, and a secre tary-treasurer will be elected for both classes. All - College cabinet decided earlier this week that the elec tions will be held in Old Main from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Thurs day, Nov. 16. Cabinet changed the voting procedure whereby the election headquarters will be on the second-floor lounge of Old Main. Reede Presents Campaign Stand Arthur H. Reede, professor of economics at the College and Democratic candidate for Con gress in this area, describes him self as "in support of the Presi dent's program with some reser vations." • "While I stand somewhat to, the right of President Truman, I'm well to the left of Governor Duff," he said laughingly in an inter view yesterday. Reede, who has taught here since 1931, interrupted only by two years on a research project at Harvard and three and a half years' military leave in World War 11, won the Democratic pri mary over two other candidates last spring. A graduate of the Col lege, he is president of the Centre County Reserve Officers' associa tion an'd a lieutenant colonel in the active reserves. Opposes Van Zandt His opponent in the November election is Rep. James E. Van Zandt. Van Zandt is a member of the Military Affairs committee of the House of Representatives.. Reede is in favor of wider se lective service laws. "Although I am an ardent advocate of a strengthened United Nations, there is no escape, in the mean time, from a high state of pre- 1 paredness," he said. In his campaign he is stressing the need for "more carefully considered labor legislation." ' Legislation Needed "Legislation is required to en courage collective bargaining, to improve conciliation and media tion, and to deal with emergency strike situations," he said.." The Taft-Hartley law is Rot complete because it over-emphasizes the third measure without stressing the preventive aspects of the first two.' jections may be found here. Ruby Snook as Sibyl, the abandoned bride (there's usually a Sibyl in a Coward show) was cute, appeal ing. but a bit stagey in some scenes. She handled the freqqent emotional sequences of the second lead quite well, however. Pompous Englishman The deserted husband, Vier, was another typical Coward char acter, the pompous club-English man, humorless, defending sac red Womanhood, and exploding occasionally with "You cad," or something similar. In the Players show, the part was acted by Ri chard Hartle. The one outstanding flaw in the character was not Hartle's fault, but that of the makeup department. He has the build, he has the voice of pom posity, but horn-rimmed glasses and an unwrinkled, to o - young 'ace simply do not make the Co ward clubman. The last member of the com pany was Prim Diefenderfer, completely delightful as a bux om, worldly-wise French maid, with a quick, if introspective eye kw omaNwaxl:Lisii:w situations. PRICE FIVE CENTS Meeting On Wednesday The Lion and State parties jointly sponsored a "Meet Cam pus Politicians" meeting in Mc- Alister Hall Wednesday night. John Erickson, senior class presi dent, explained the organization of the Lion party , and the func tions of politics on the campus. Harry Cover, clique chairman of the State party, discussed campus politics and explained the organization of the State party. Hugh Stevens, clique Chairman of the Lion party, also spoke and emphasized the need for heavier student participation in voting. The State party, under a new organizational setup this year, held a general meeting last Sun day. The party, defeated in the spring elections, hopes to repeat last fairs sweep of the freshmen and sophomore elections. Reading Series To Open Monday .
