THURSDAY, SEPT. 28, 1905, EDITORIAL With only a few days remaining before the Indian game everybody should be prepared for Harrisburg. From the indications shown at the Athletic meeting last Friday night very few intend to go. This is in dicative of poor college spirit. Something is wrong somewhcie. The Freshmen probably do not real ize just what a large turnout at one of these games means to the college as well as to our athletic standing among the colleges. We have good teams but they need the full support of every man in college. The play ers all say they can work better when the men behind them on the sidelines are watching and cheering, and who should know better than they. But a number of upperclass men, who are supposed to be ex amples to the lower classes, also showed a lack of interest. Last year before the Dickinson game al most everybody became interested and there was a big turnout. Those who did stay at home showed their appreciation of what they had miss ed by firing the college cannon and building a huge bonfire when the special returned. Don’t stay at home THE STATE COLLEGIAN this time to build a bonfire. We will attend to that ourselves when we get back. The “Collegian” suggests that we have more athletic meetings and stir up more enthusi asm as we did last year. When the day comes everybody else will be at Harrisburg. Will you ? Let us figure for a moment con cerning our foot-ball team. We hope that every undergraduate here at “ Old State” is generous enough and loyal enough to sacrifice a few hours each week towards encourag ing our ’Varsity eleven and their helpers “the Scrubs.” Sacrifice, — no, that’s not the word, for in years to come every man of us will value the golden hours spent upon Beaver Field, loyally cheeiing “the White and Blue.” Loyalty, —that’s all we need, a good wholesome brand of loyalty for just as sure as every student here makes himself a staunch supporter of our ’Varsity in both victory and defeat, we are go ing to have a grand foot-ball eleven. Think this over fellows, and get in to the game by remembering that each one of us is an important factor in the success of this year’s eleven. The schedule is a hard one, —but that is what we want for ‘ ‘ Old State.” Disappointment has fol lowed disappointment since the sea son opened, —Moscrip, Smith, Mc- Ilveen and Head, all being lost to the ’Varsity, in addition to Forkum, Saunders, White, Woodward, and Hohnhart. But this condition of affairs gives us all a better oppor tunity to do our level best to en courage the new ’Varsity men. Coaches Golden, Scholl, and Whit worth are working with might and main, and the players are straining every nerve to get into good shape; so that we, the students, are the on ly remaining factors. Let us rele gate the ‘ ‘ clam habit ’ ’ and when we feel like cheering for our ’Varsity let us make a good healthy roar and get our fellow students so interested that the welkin -will ring from now until Thanksgiving Day for Penn State’s victorious eleven!
