Both Elevens Gun for 4th Win
Penn State's football team will end its home season and
play its 250th home contest today when the Nittany Lions
meet Syracuse University on Beaver Field. Kickoff time
is 1:30 p.m.
The Nittany Lions will go after their fourth win of the
current season, and try to extend the victory string they
hold over Syracuse on Beaver
Field. The Orange gr id der s
haven't beaten a Penn State, foot
ball• team on the Lions' ' home
field since 1934.
A crowd of about 15,000 is
expected to watch the Lions and
Syracuse tussle in , Penn State's
250th home football game. Since
the sport was inaugurated here
in 1887, the Nittany Lions have
won 211 games while losing only
27. Eleven games ended in ties.
Syracuse has played on Beaver
Field 13 times; winning four, los
ing eight, and tying one.
Coach Be n Schwartzwalder's
I Syracuse eleven will also be try
ing for its fourth win of the
season this afternoon. Th e Or
angemens' record shows wins
over Temple, Lafayette, and
Fordham,. and losses to Cornell,
Illinois, and Dartmouth.
-Last year in Syracuse, the
Orange gridders upset Cocah Rip
Engle's Nittany Lions, 27-7. The
win over the Lions marked the
first time Syracuse 'had beaten
Penn State since 1937.
Schwartzwalder's team is ex
pected to combine a wing -T and
double-wing and possible •a sin
gle-wing offense against the
Lions' wing -T this afternoon.
Syracuse has been leaning
toward the old style double-wing
since the Yordham game in which
it was used with success.

pal contralto of the unusual fam
ily chorus. Agathe, Hedwig, Ma
ria, Martina, Rosemary, and Elea
nore are the daughters, and Wer
ner and Johannes, the sons.
Descended from ancient Aus

ler and came to this country.

terday. The drive- was to end at

The goal. was then raised to 600
and finally to 800.- Pledges ex
ceeded the final goal by almost

Chest Drive
Donations
Total $5900
Campus Chest returns reached
$5900 as $7OO in contributions
flowed into drive headquarters
yesterday. The Chest has ex
tended its drive until Nov. 20 in
an attempt to reach its $12,000
goal.
The Chest drive opened two
weeks ago today, but was ex
tentled when officials saw it
would be impossible to reach the
goal within two weeks, due to
slow returns.
Quick Returns Asked
Slowness in the drive was due
to apathy on the part of many so
licitors and laxity on the part of
some students who apparently did
not realize the importance of the
nine charities benefiting, lead
ers said. Many solicitors had
failed to make first reports as late
as the second week of the drive.
Officials asked for quick solici
tation returns during the drive
extension.
The faculty and staff portion of
the drive, which begins solicita
tions Monday, will last all next
week. Ralph Armington, profes
sor of electrical engineering,
heads the faculty drive.
Groups Not Included
Faculty contributions will go
either to the Penn State Christian
Association or the World Student
Service Fund. Donors may desig
nate, which group will benefit
from their contribution.
Professor Armington explained
that groups r benefited by the
State College. Welfare Fund, to
which the faculty has contrib
uted, are not included in this
Campus Chest drive.
Motor Causes
Mac Hall Fire
An overheated elevator motor
caused a small fire in McAllister
Hall yesterday morning. The fire
was confined to the brick shaft
and caused no' apparent damage
according to Captain Philip Mark
of the Campus Patrol.
Pans of bread stacked in the
elevator tilted, Mark said, causing
t"he elevator to jam between the
basement and first floor. The
motor kept running, however,
and 'started to heat up. Smoke
formed when the insulation be
gan smoldering, and five fire
trucks reached the dormitory 'at
about 10:35 a.m.
The blaze couldn't have caused
any damage to the building,
Mark said, because the shaft is
fireproof and separate from the
construction of the building.
For safety measures the auto
matic switch will be replaced by
a manual switch at once so that
in the future the motor can be
stopped immediately if necessary.

lished by the College, will go on
