Froth's M issing Canoe
Returned at Dance
The long-lost Froth canoe, for which Ronald Bonn, Froth editor,
fought, swore, sleuthed, and sweat/ was returned last night at the
Kickoff. Dance by Marvin Krasnansky, Daily Collegian editor, and
George Glazer,'city, editor.
Krasnansky, who presented the vessel to Bonn, claimed the $25
check , that . William Klis'ariin,'
Campus Chest chairman, had put
up for reward. He promptly do
nated it to the Chest fund. '
Shouts of “fix” echoed through
Recreation Hall after the presen
tation. . Some onlookers talked , : of
■a.;‘‘staged”, .promotion stunt, for
Froth.' Bufthe truth is that there
is a canoe race which will be a
part of the Flaming Foliage Fes
tival next Saturday on the Sus
quehanna 1 river. ...
Former Student
A former student at the Col
lege, Robert Kotzbauer, will rep-
resent the Lock Haven Express in
the race. He and an associate
have challenged the Williamsport
Gazette and Bulletin.
More than 30 other ■ boat crews
from all over the state will com

Bonn, who had appeared before
All-College Cabinet in a futile at
tempt to recover the canoe Thurs
day, has made .various and sundry
statements—most of them un

Today
against a team that already has played (me
game. The Terriers, coached by Aldo “Buff*
Donelli, were defeated by William & Mary last
Saturday, 34-25.
Led by its ace passer and quarterback,
Harry “The Golden Greek” Agganis, whom
Lion coaches regard as one of the best passers
in the country, comparing him with Kentucky’s
Babe Parelli, BU is expected to display a sharp
passing attack against Penn State this afternoon.
The Lions, usually a good pass defense team
(they finished seventh in the nation in that de
partment last year), have been working to im
prove their aerial defense all week.
The biggest, question Penn State fans were
forced to face was, “Whom will Hip Engle start
at quarterback, Tony Rados or Bob Szajna?”
Rip has finally decided on sophomore Bob Szaj
na to lead the Lion against Boston University
this afternoon. Szajna made a good showing
agaijnst Cornell in a scrimmage last week and
has won Engle’s vote for the starting job.
Starting Lineup
The Lions’ offensive team will remain about
the same as the one which has been starting in

Several hundred cheering
freshmen, led by the Blue
Band and over 100 hatmen,
formed the nucleus of last
night’s pep rally paradfe that
wound up in front of Recrea
tion Hall.
Upperclassmen and women
joined the parade as it moved
over the campus. The rally be
gan in the men’s dorm areas at
about -7 p.m. .
Hatmen invaded the West
Dorm area shouting “We want
the frosh” in an attempt to get
freshmen out of their rooms to
join in the rally parade.
Cheer Before McKee
. When'' the hatmen m e't with
little success in routing out the
frosh, many freshmen, them
selves, went 'into the dorms, to
bring their classmates out.
Directed by three cheerleaders,
the frosh and hatmen formed in
front of McKee Hall singing and
cheering. Hatmen tried to prod
freshmen from their rooms by
shouting for them to show the
school spirit they were always
talking about
A group of freshman women
joined the cheering students as
they passed Thompson Hall and
went down the west side of the
Mall to College Avenue where
they moved singing down the
middle of the street.
Barrage Meets Hatmen
Hatmen-.who attacked the Nit
tany-Pollock area also found the
frosh reluctant to participate in
the parade.
As the hatmen tried to arouse
the frosh from their ‘dorms they
were met with a barrage of eggs,
oranges and apples. In many
dorms the freshmen barricaded
doorways with furniture from
the' lounges. ,
Outside of Nittany dorm 23, a
student with an Army bugle ap
peared and played Penn State
songs in an attempt to arouse the
freshmen.' Hatmen yelled at frosh
not to let the West Dorms get
ahead of them.
Coeds Join Parade
The frosh were finally brought
out of dorm 23, and that group
formed the center of a throng
that marched through Pollock
Circle and stopped to call out
I“ e „, women fr om Simmons and
McElwam Halls.
With' numerous coeds joining
the parade, the crowd moved
