Penn Game Holiday Declared ®lip Saxly |s| QMlwjiatt VOL. 55. No. 29 Lions Outplay ICO But Drop 2d, 20-7 If statistics could determine the outcome of a football game, Penn State might own a 4-1 record today instead of its 3-2 chart. But Saturday’s frustrating battle with Texas Christian was decided on 100 yards of Texas turf and they still pay off on points scored. The Horned Frogs 20-7 victory over Rip Engle’s gridders at Fort Worth’s Amon Carter Stadium has to stand as is, despite the fact that the Texans were outgained and generally outplayed by the Nittany Lions. But it was a team that knew how to take advantage of the breaks and turned a fumble. (one of five), a blocked kick, and an intercepted pass into touchdowns, while the Lions saw several scor ing chances fizzle when the cards were laid on the table. 17,000 Witness Game Dairy Prof Found Dead In Home Clyde N.

Defense Plan OK Predicted by Dulles WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (#>)— Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, speaking at the first televised presidential Cabinet meeting in history, tonight predicted ratification of the new Western Europe defense plan and forecast failure for Soviet attempts to smash it. Reporting in intimate fashion to President Dwight D. Eisen hower, other members of the Cabinet and the nation at large, Dulles said the Paris conference which produced the alliance agree ments had to succeed “because the price of failure had become pro hibitive.” With Eisenhower seated at his side in the White House Cabinet room, Dulles—just back from Par is—expressed confidence that each of the nations which signed the agreements will ratify them TODAY'S WEATHER: CLOUDY WARM STATE COLLEGE PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 26. 1954 By dick McDowell A partisan crowd of 17,000 held down by. threatening rain, saw the fayored Frogs score two quick touchdowns late in the first per iod and another in the fourth, while the Lions went scoreless until only 47 seconds remained in the game. The Lions pounded the Frogs for 20 first downs during the con test, allowing only 10, and gath ered in 285 yards offensively while Abe Martin’s club accounted for 214. Again it was Lenny Moore who played the biggest part in keep ing the erring Lions in the game. He ran for 109 yards, bringing his season total to 574 in five games, and scored Penn State’s only tally when he snagged quar terback Bobby Hoffman’s 29 yard pass in the TCU endzone. Hoffman Engineers Drive Hoffman, who hadn’t been in a game since Illinois, was another hero in defeat Saturday. He engi neered a 78-yard drive late in the third period, and had charge when State finally crossed the goal line in the fourth quarter. He, Don Bailey, and Milt Plum, combined for 12 pass completions in 23 attempts for 125 yards in the best aerial day for the Lions this season. Hoffman hit on four of five tosses. But, even with all their ground power and passing prowess, the Nittanies didn’t have it when it counted Saturday, and in the meantime, they handed the Frogs their.scores. (Continued on page six) through their parliaments, Dulles flatly ruled out any new Big talks with the Russians about Western European prob lems until the Allies have further closed ranks to create new strength. “Then there may be a new basis for discussions which doesn’t ex ist at the present time,” he said. The precedent - setting nation wide TV-radio session from the White House was a chatty, inti mate sort of thing with the Amer ican people getting their first look into the stately Cabinet room while the meeting actually was in progress. Dulles said he thought Euro pean integration and unity under the new agreements would be “quite comparable and equally ef fective” with what would have been achieved under the old, ill (Continued on page three) FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Reactor Skeleton „uucnng. the Nit iany dorms, is shown above.

Lonergors Financial Approximately 200 members of Local 417, Building Service Employees International, Friday night heard Robert P. Lonergan, international representative, refute the charges leveled by members of Local 67, State, County, and Municipal Employees International, Martin Hellz, chief accountant for the State, County, and Muni cipal Employees group, reported i that $2218.22 in union funds was unaccounted for during the first seven months of this year. He based his charge on five points: 1. During the period from Jan uary to July, the union deposited on account $3404.07. According to Hellz’ figures, deposits should have totaled $4271.50. He based his figures on the dues and mem bership fees which should have been collected during this period. Lonergan called the difference “perfectly logical” because of the fact that during the. months of June, July, August, and most of September, there is no school and the union membership is cut al most in half. Deposit of $44.40 2. During September, the un ion’s income showed a deposit of $44.40. Hellz said that assuming the union operated normally dur ing September, $572.25 should have been collected. He based his A half-holiday fear Satur day’s football game with the University of Pennsylvania was declared by special action of the University Council of Administration yesterday, Lawrence Dennis, secretary of the council and administrative assis tant to the president, announced.

There will be no other ap peal from cabinet this semester regarding football holidays. 2. Class hours will be made up as specified by the individual in structor. 3. A series of steps will be taken by various student leaders and organizations to assure orderly conduct by University students attending the Penn game in Phila delphia. In regard to the first stipula tion, there will be no possibility of obtaining another half-holiday for the game with the University of Pittsburgh, the only other away game. It was brought out in cabi net before the Penn half-holiday was recommended that the holi day be requested for the Pitt game instead. Class hours must be made up at the discretion of the individual instructors. In previous half-holi days, students were not required to make up the classes. Request Orderly Conduci Steps will be taken by various student leaders and organizations to assure orderly conduct by stu dents at the game, John. Speer, All-University vice president, said. Speer stated that appeals to the students for orderly conduct in Philadelphia this weekend will be made through Thursday’s pep rally, the Interfraternity Council, and editorials in the Daily Colle gian.

Lonergan said the reason only $44.40 was collected during Sep tember was because a large part of the membership had paid their dues after it had been voted to disaffiliate with Local 67. He said it was voted to use the money collected during September to pay dues to the Building Service Em ployees organization. Bonds Found Missing 3. After the split in the union, at least $5OO worth of govern ment bonds were found missing. l£ Lonergan said that the bonds supposedly” missing were pur chased during 1943, 1944, and 1945. He said they had all ma tured and the funds were re deposited to the account of Local 67. 4. The expenditure of union, (Continued on page eight} Only Half-Holiday
