Unlike other pre-game rallies, this one had no guest speakers. Robert Davis, All-College presi - - dent, and Charles "Rip" Engle, football coach, were expected to appear, and their absence was conspicious. A parade down Allen street by the Blue band started the rally. The band crossed College avenue, .and marched to Old Main. Hank Glass emceed the program, and with Rudy Valen tino, head cheerleader, and the band comprised the program of the abbreviated meeting. • The band played some "jazz" versions of, school songs, and the cheerleaders performed a new cheer, which will be used to morrow for the first time at home. A majority of the crowd was freshmen, and few alumni were present. Most of the crowd seem ed anxious to leave in time for the Thespian show, so the rally lasted only a half hour.

Alexander, professor of chem istry at the University of Illi nois, and his wife was sighted yesterday noon near Rummel in Somerset County by a Civil Air Patrol member.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1950 Alumni, Temple Invade State...Foi'...lloAteOming Lions Seek End Of Three Game Losing Streak By MARV KRASNANSKY Anything will go and no holds will be barred when Penn State and Temple clash on Beaver field this afternoon. A Homecoming crowd of almost 25,000 is expected to fill Beaver field by kickoff time at 2 p.m. Victims of three stunning de feats after a successful opener, Coach Rip Engle's• Nittany Molls will be shooting the works in an effort to regain the winning for mula. Always up for the Owls, the Lions are especially anxious to snap their three-game losing streak and put on a show for vis iting alumni, who are expected to number 10,000. Owls Determined The Lions, however, can expect to face a Temple squad no less determined to win. The Owls have not been able to hang one on the Nittanies since 1941, Penn State having won the past seven en gagements. To add insult to. in jury, Coach Al Kawal's herd has not been able to push across a single point against the Lions in four previous engagements on Beaver Field. State last dropped three in a row in 1936. Engle has been suf fering with more than the usual difficulties a first-year coach can expect, and he figures his luck can't get much worse. Unable to cash in on what op portunities that have presented themselves, the Lions have man aged to score but two touchdowns in the past three weeks. Last-Minute Changes In an effort to boost the touch down production, Engle has come up with two last-minute changes in his starting line. As he dis closed yesterday, Engle will send Bill Mathers to answer the open ing 'whistle in place of Jim Barr at right guard. Yesterday, how ever, Engle came up with another surprise when he named Tom Pevarnik, 190-pound junior guard, to start on the other side of the line, replacing Len Bartek.

The chest, a combination of ten agencies, will be the only funds soliciting drive on the campus this year. It was devised •to minimize the duplicated efforts involved in 3 Judges Scan Lawn Displays Three judges braved a chilly wind and threatening rain last night as they made their way around to each fraternity house casting an artistic eye over the lawn displays. The winning display will be announced •at half-time of the Penn State-Temple football game this afternoon. The theme for this year's dis plays is "The New Era—Eisen hower, Engle, and Prohibition." And last night the judges saw everything from a stork ushering in the New Era carrying figures of President Eisenhower and Rip Engle at Phi Kappa Sigma •to a grave at Theta Chi symbolizing the death of the single-wing at Penn State. Alpha Tau Omega, winner for the past two years and out to make it three in a row, had a large football figure kicking at a huge whiskey bottle, depicting removal of drinking from the College. Pi Kappa Phi illustrated the New Era and the return of fresh men to the campus with a huge lion dressed as a cheerleader carrying the figures of President Eisenhower and Rip Engle, dress ed in diapers, dinks, name cards, and bow ties. Delta Tau Delta used its in itials (DTD) as a scale. On one side stood a bar, a figure of a president with no face, and a wing (symbolizing the single wing). rs • • • Collegian Photo by Barto he separate fund raising drives of the agencies in former years.

'Antigone' Tryouts Tryouts for "Antigone," Play ers' second Schwab auditorium show, will be held in Little thea tre Monday and Tuesday for men, Wednesday for women. Antigone is a classic Greek play by Sophocles. The script being used by Players is a translation from the original Greek, not from the modern French revival which has been played frequently dur ing the last few years. Warren S. Smith, director of the show, points out that there are far more male than female openings for "Antigone." He urges students with no previous experience to try out for the play, since its large cast makes it impossible to fill all the places with experienced actors PRICE FIVE CENTS College Expects 10,000 Alumni' For Big Weekend By GEORGE GLAZER A crowd of about 10,000 alumni is expected to invade the campus before the weekend is over to take part - in the festivities of the an nual Homecoming celebration.
