Despite Penn State’s 40-8 rout over Marquette at the
annual- Homecoming pigskin extravanganza last Satuiday,
midst of the 22,300 fans who witnessed the scrap went away
grumbling and full of criticism for the Lion football program
“Why don’t they play someone good,” one of the Lion
castigators said. “They, always schedule a team they can beat
easily. Why couldn’t they play a team like Army for us
(Alumni) instead of a weak team dike Marquette?”
Well, my friends, lei's not be
100 harsh on our schedule
makers. After all, they have
quite a problem pleasing every
one. And one of their major ob
stacles is trying to seduce a top
national grid power into play
ing at Beaver Field. With its
small sealing capacity. (33,000),
the Lions' home den isn't very
appealing (financially or other
wise—but mostly financially) to
a team the caliber of Notre
Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma,
North Carolina and so forth.
Another reason (call it an alibi)
for the so-called “poor” opponent
is the duration from the day the
game is scheduled until the day
the tilt is finally played. In some
cases, it may be eight years.
(Penn State already has most of
its schedules completed through
1964.) Both teams may be out
standing at the time the contract
is signed, but when the game is
played, one may be good ond the
other bad
But why did Penn State sched
ule Marquette? Let's let Moon
Mullins, the Warriors’ eminent
athletic director tell us.
"One reason," the ex-Notre
Dame standout said, is because

Mullins also had a word cbm

50-0 the week before the Lion
conquest.
"I think a Wiscosjisin-Penn
Slate battle would make a real
good game," Mullins said. "It
would probably be a toss-up.

I suppose October 12 is just another day to you. You get up in
the ordinary way and do all the ordinary things you ordinarily
do. You lmve your breakfast, you walk your ocelot, you go to
classes, you write home for money, you burn the dean in effigy,
you watch Disneyland, and you go to bed. And do you give one
little thought to the fact that October 12 is Columbus Day?
No, you do not.
Nobody thinks about Columbus these days. Let us, there
fore, pause for a moment and retell his ever-glorious, endlessly
stirring saga.
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa on August 25,1451.
His father, Ralph T. Columbus, was in the three-minute auto
wash game. Ilis mother, Eleanor (Swifty) Columbus, was a
sprinter. Christopher was an only child, except for his four
brothers and eight sisters. With his father busy all day at the
auto wash and his mother constantly away at track meets,
young Columbus was left pretty much to his own devices.
However, the lad did not sulk or brood. He was an avid reader
and spent all his waking houra immersed in a book. Unfor
tunately, there was only one book in Genoa at the time—
Care of the Hone by Aristotle—and after several years of reading
Care of the Horse, Columbus grew restless. So when rumor
reached him that there was another book in Barcelona, off he
ran as fast as his fat. little legs would carry him.
The rumor, alas, proved false. The only book in Barcelona
was Cuidar vn Caballo by Aristotle,, which proved to be nothing
more than a Spanish translation of Care of the Horse.
Bitterly disappointed, Columbus began to dream of going to
India where, according to legend, there were thousands of books.
But the only way to go to India was on horseback, and after so
many years of reading Care of the Horst, Columbus never wanted
to clap eyes on a horse again. Then a new thought struck him:
perhaps it was possible to get to India by sea!
Fired with his revolutionary new idea, Columbus raced to
the court of Ferdinand and Isabella on his little fat legs (Co
lumbus was plagued with little fat legs all his life) and pleaded
his case with such fervor that the rulers were persuaded.
On October 12, 1492, Columbus set foot on the New World.
The following year he returned to Spain with a cargo of wonders
never before seen in Europe—spices and metals and plants and
flowers and—most wondrous of all—tobacco! Oh, what a sensa
tion tobacco caused in Europe! The filter had long since been
invented (by Aristotle, curiously enough) but nobody knew
what to do with itr Now Columbus, the Great Discoverer, made
still another great discovery: lie took a filter, put tobacco in
front of it, and invented the world’s first filler cigarette!
Through the centuries filters have been steadily improved
and so has tobacco, until today we have achieved the ultimate
in the filter cigarette—Marlboro, of course! Oh, what a piece
of work is Marlboro! Great tobacco, great filter, great smoke!
And so, good friends, when next you enjoy a fine Marlboro
Cigarette, give a thought to the plucky Genoese, Christopher
Columbus, whose vision and perseverance made the whole lovely
thing possible.
And thank Columbus too for Philip Morris Cigarettes, for
those who want the best in non-filter smoking. Philip Morris
joins Marlboro in bringing you these columns throughout
the school year.
