Many Alumni ETpected Back
One of the features of the second
'Alumni Home Coming celebration will
no doubt, be the large number of old
grads who will return to their Alma
Mater in the effort to revive the days
of their youth. The fact-that the first
event of this nature was such an un
expected success, and that those Who
were here lasts year spread the news
through the ranks of the alumni, that
this is an affair that any former Penn
State student cannot afford to miss,
forms the basis for the opinion that
last year's attendance la to be increas
ed many-fold. The new stands were
dedicated one year ago with an attend
ance that nearly tilled every crevice
in the new accommodation for it was
estimated that at -least twelve hundred
alumni were on hand to see the Nittany
Moleskin wearers trample over the big
'green team of Dartmouth with a 14-7
score. This year an estimate under
fifteen hundred is to be given cred
ence for reports from alumni centers
support an approximation of nearly
two thousand, exclusive of other per
sonages that will•ald In the fete. With
such a number back, It may be said
that we may expect the greatest con
gregation of former grads and students
that over assembled at one time at the
college. The affair will truly be a
great one.
Mass Meeting TorJght
The drat event In which the old tim
ere will figure Is the mammoth masa
meeting that will be held In t3obwab
Auditorium tonight. The team will be
under 'the care of 'Coach ' Bezdek and
C. L. Mellinger '22 btu, promised to call
upon several members of the Blue ind
White team to deliver a speech for the
occasion. In fact, Captain Snell has
been warned and so we may expect an
exceptional address from this warrior.
Also at the last mass meeting; Coach
Bezdek mentioned the fact that he had
a good baseball story ready and would
deliver it on this auspicious night. The
band wilt render old and new selections
so it may be taken for granted that a
regular noise feat Is In order. The
fact that several a[. the boys of former
days who witnessed many a good
struggle on the gridiron will tell us
how they did It In the past ls an at
traction In Itself and provides mufti
dent cause for believing tonight's get
together wIU be full of pep. Prominent
men of the college will supplement
these talks and clinch the argument
for an unprecedented mass meeting.
Operi house at all of the tntternitles
In town and on the campus will be In
order otter that, and no effort will bo
spared to make the men feel at home.
At this time, alumni will have an op
portunity to visit the different hOuses

Brown and 'White 'Warriors W; 11
Provide Toughest Opposition'
Met This Season
GAME SET FOR 2:311
Coach Bezdek Has Nittany Team
,In Good Shape—Change Mity
Be Made In Line-up
, Having completed probably the most
intensive week of practice since train
ing began, the Nittany Lion is strain
ing at its lease and waiting impatient
ay for the whistle that will send it
against its ancient rival, Lehigh, to
morrow afternoon at two-thirty o'clock.
Although not in pink of condition, the
Nittany players are in as good shape
as might be expected at this time of the
year and may be counted upon to give
Lehigh an exceedingly hard fight. The
Brown and Whith eleven, on the other
hand, is primed for action and is con
fident of overlapping its drawn battle
of last year with a stinging victory on
Saturday. Four days of scrimmage
work this week finished off the rough
spots which were uncovered in the
Rutgers game. All of the regu
lars are physically fit and Coach Glick
has moulded together a team which
will test Bezdek's men to the utmost.
It will be the latter's first real test
inasmuch ae the three games that have
been played to date resulted in one
sided scores for the Blue and White.
Six terrific games will follow tomor
row's contest, and•the fate of Bezdek's
warriors thus hangs in the balance.
Should they win, their chances of fin
ishing the season successfully will be
increased but a loss or a tie will smash
ahamplonahlit.expectatione.
Fully fifteen thousand football tans
are,expected to watch the fray ., Twelve
thousand persons saw the Nebraska
game last year on Pennsylvania Day
but the additional attractions this year
connected with the inauguration and
Alumni Home-Coming Day have drawn
great crowds jo Penn State and 4-rec
ord ,attenda-nae is looked . for. To pro
vide for the increase, the Athletic
Authorities have erected four new
wooden stands which will accommodate
three. thousand visitors. The field is
.now almost entirely surrounded with
stands-,. .
•Leblib 84it For Great Battle
•Lehigh has always proven a most
worthy foe for the Nittany Lion and
this year
.will undoubtedly live up to
all expectations. Her 7 to 0 triumph
over Rutgers on a foreign soil, indicat
ed that she has a powerful team. The
entire eleven la heavy, fast, and de
pendable on all occasions and employs
a charge that is very difficult to stop
while its defensive tactics' are also
well developed and form a combination
that Bezdek's men may not be able to
break. Like the Nittany eleven, the
Bethlehem aggregation has been train
ed to such a degree that the players
remain fresh for a comparatively long
period and do not collapse after a short
length of time. Only three substitutes
were sent into the game against Hut
gars last Saturday.
Because of there being no one-year
rule in effect at Lehigh, Freshmen are
permitted to try out for the varsity
and, as it happens this year, several
of the - yearlings have made good and
may appear In the line-up tomorrow.

A committee of three members from
Student Council Was elected at the
meeting Tuesday +ening of that body,
to cooperate with ,a committee of the
faculty In making, up

ender for' next year. ' This committee
made up of throe students, and the
three faceit i n.m . eetbers. will have en
tire charge of the calender subject

to avoid all criticisms of the holiday ) .
periods. The student members bf this
committee are C. Hare '23, A. CI. Pratt
'22, and W. H. Payne '23.
The Student Council also discussed
the advisability of holding a "Get Wise
meeting for the Freshmen some time
in the near future. These meetings
are heln In several other colleges with
great success In acquainting the new
men with the customs and traditions
of their Alma Mater, in getting them
into activities, and in generally getting
the men "in college." The Idea on a
small scale was tried out at the meet
ings of the 1924 class last year and
met with considerable favor.
AMERICAN LEGION WILL
SHOW OFFICIAL WAR FILM
"Flashes of Aotion" ls the title of
the movie which will be shown at
State College October seventeenth and
nineteenth, under the auspices at the
American Legion Nittany Post 245 at
the Nittany Theatre.
This is two thousand foot of offi
cial war film taken by the Signal Corps
of the U. S. Army of the Twenty-eighth
and Eightieth divisions in action. It
shows the Twenty-eighth division at
Chateau Thlerry, Flames, Appromont,
Grandpre and Argonne-Meuse. The
Hightleth division is filmed at Ar
rgonne-Meuse, Buzanncy, Fleaville, St.
Juvin, Thiamin and Haumont.
' No ex-service man can afford to miss
this showing and civilians aro sure
to enjoy It. "Flashes of Action'l has
been acclaimed by the press and the
public to be the greatest picture of its
kind. Special matinees will be shown
at •two-thirty P. m., both days so that
a large number who wish to see the
picture may be accommodated.
HERMAN MAKES CHANGE
IN FRESHMAN LINE-UP
FOR MANSFIELD GAME
Visiting Team Has Fast Backfield
—Game to be Played In
• Morning
Tomorrow morning at ten-thirty o'-
clock one of the most powerful normal
school fOotball teams of Pennsylvania
will battle Conch Herman's Freshman
aggregation on the practice field on
New Beaver. The reputation of the
Mansfield eleven .Made them the favor-.
ites in 'the Contest - but the-pant .week's
improvement In the Freshman Squad
changes the outlook somewhat. Th 6
Freshman team Is developing' into
real working organization and ;they ,
are bound to give a better exhibition
of foothall tomorrow morning than they
gave last Saturday in the game with
Bellefonte. Mansfield has a compara
tively light line, but the mon are well
trained and know football. Their pow
erful driving backfield
,is their main
defense and. In this department of the
game they are apt to cause the year
lings a little trouble.
Coach Herman's squad has worked
better during the past week than at
any other time, despite the Injuries
that were received by many of the
men. On 'Wednesday afternoon they
scrimmaged with the third varsity
team and ploughed through Bezdek's
men for considerable gains. Competi
tion for first' team positions Is still as
strong as ever as Is shown by the fact
that the backfield representing .the
second team gave the third varsity
tenni a great deal more trouble than
the first Freshman line-up.
Several big changes will take Place
in the Frosh backfield. Schmidlin
who played fullback In the Bellefonte
game is no longer available for that
job ,as he left town several days ago.
All season he has been given a hard
fight for the berth by Gregory and
Wilson. IL Is quite likely that Coach

A State University as the crown of
the educational system of the Com
monwealth, Is the destiny of the Penn
sylvania State College said President
John M. Thomas in sounding the key
note of his administration In his In
augural address this morning. Already
'filling that capacity in fact If not in
name, this college Is the logical foun
dation fora great state university of
10,000 students, he declared.
President Thomas', addressing an
audience of more than eighteen hun
dred peoplo,• more than a hundred of
whom were delegates to his inaugural
from colleges and universities In all
parts of the country, said that Penn
State should be-converted into a Penn
sylvania State University. More than
twenty-two states had already taken
the step and the time was now ripe
for more.
The Inaugural address in full Is, as
follows:
On Juno 14, 1855, In the City of
Harrisburg, at the office of the Penn
sylvania State Agricultural Society,
the Governor of the State, the Secre
tary of the Commonwealth, and seven
other citizens met for the organization
of a new type of educational Institution
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Their authority wns an aot of the
Legislature approved February 22,1866,
conatktuting them trustees of "The
Farmirs' High School of Pennsylvania",
"an institution for the education of
youth in the various branches of sci
ence, learning, and practical agricul
ture, as they are connected with ,each
other." Distinctions between grades of
schools'were not exact in 1865, and It

Trials Show That Penn State Will
_ Have Speedy Cross
Country Team
• Ora Wing from a wealth of track
material' such as has seldom been seen
around Penn State, Coach Martin Is
developing one of the fastest cross
country aggregations that has ever
represented this institution. Shields,
Captain Cooper, Snyder, Edgerton,
Enck, Wilhelm, Carter and Hamilton
are doing the beet work of the entire
squad and It Is about these men that
the coach is building. his team. The
athletic budget and the difficulty of
getting the best college teams to come
to State College makes It Impossible
for the managers to arrange' a strenu
ous schedule. The only big attraction
on the card at the present time Is the
National Intercollegiate Cross Country
Championship Meet which will be held
at Van Courtland Park in New York
City on Monday, November twenty
first. Attempts have been made to ar
range a meet with the University of
Pennsylvania and alao with Princeton,
but neither attempts has developed in
to anything with real significance. At
the present time the management is
planning to have the Carnegie Tech
team here for a meet on Pennsylvania

teams will run in the Intercollegiate

of fraternities that they be allowed
to serve beer or liquor. •
The Beard officers pointed out that
fraternities could not obtain a restaur
ant license' because they served no
food to the public, while minor mem
bers made it impoSsible fur them to be
licensed as a club.
With regard to; beer parties the
Liquor Board representatives ♦ stated
that they would be legal provided that
all members of the, party are over 21
related stories,
yetirs of age and that beer would not
be sold or served to anyone outside of
the original party They, said that Leer
could not be bought . out of fraternity
funds.
Dean of Men . Arthur Warnock mak
ing a statement (isoni.lerning the ques
tion said: "The Collyge has no specific
'regulations on which a statement of
Collegb attitude:;.{►rward (liquors in
fraternity houSes 'could be, based. No
college action is - necessary, however,
to warrant the Adaiinistration in see
ing that fraternity.:and chapter house
practices. shall not violate our civil
laws
"It is expected that the fraternity
chapters . will give 'pruper attention
to the statements' made by representa
tives of the,Control Board," he said.
John Idoeller, .president of Inter
fraternity Council,', said, "the action
taken by the liquor ;board represent
atives. is very reasonable.' No one can
object to it."

Rumor Adds Other Fraternities To Army List
All-College Cabinet Urges Sane Student Behavoir
Ramaley to Attend
USAA Conference
All-College Cabinet, at last
night's meeting, urged students in
the fraternity district to refrain
from destruction of property. A
rough estimate revealed property
damages amounting to several'
hundreds of dollars, which must
be paid for out of the class treas
ury.
Margaret K. Ramaley was ap
pointed by Cabinet members to
.
attend the United States Student
Assembly at Washington Friday.
Discussion on "Inflation cr Stabil
ization" and how if will affect the
college student will take place at
the conference.
A report by Ruth Storer and
George Pittinger. representatives
to the Pennsylvania Student Gov
ernment Association Conference
held at Philadelphia recently, was
given to Cabinet. The represent
atives reported the discussion of
.post-war topics as well as current
events affecting the student body.
Colleges within the state were
divided into two sections•—the
Eastern and the Western—to fa
cilitate holding of conferences.
Penh State was placed in the
Eastern Section. The next confer
ence will probably be held at

Hail, Alma Mater
They were given notices to evacuate their houses, so many of
Penn' State's fraternities went on a "last fling" rampage and caused
damage mounting into hundreds of dollars of damage to fraternity,
borough and private property. No use making any attempt to stiffle
news of the drunken brawl which transpired. To hush up the affair
would be undemocratic, and rumors would outdo the truth:
Remember one fine day last fall when an All-College convoca
tion was called to inform the students of what would probably happen
to college programs? And remember the statement that a lot of ad
justment would lie ahead? Then at least a month ago a statement was
released from the President's Office, and printed prominently in The
Daily Collegian that many of Penn State's fraternities would have to
combine, or evacuate to make room for an influx of Army students.
Friday morning reality came crashing down with the announce
ment in the Collegian that nearly a score of fraternities would evacu
ate, although nearly all of them had been notified earlier.
And Saturday night a lot more than reality came crashing down.
It crashed in the form of glass from •street lights, glass from parking
meters, broken street signs, a 'ruined porch, a bonfire in the street
and a generally rowwdy evening.

Word Is Nof Confirmed
By College Officials
Although no official word has
come from College officials, it is
rumored that additions have been
made to the list of fraternities
that have voluntarily offered their
living quarters to the United
States Army for 127 men, com
posed of 500 Army Air Corps ca
dets, 500 Army Specialized Train
ing Program students, and 267 ad
vanced ROTC cadets present at
the College now.
These fraternities, if the rumor
proves.to hold water, will be ad
ded to the list of 19 fraternities
that have already offered their
facilities to the Army for use in
housing and feeding enlisted men.
Fraternities which will house
cadets have been ordered to va
cate by tomorrow evening so that
the houses may be ready for use
immediately upon the arrival of
the troops that will come to Penn
State within the'next two or three
weeks. New fraternities added
to the list will haVe to leave their
quarters in the very near future,
too.
Men who arrive here for train
ing, will be instructed by College
professors and instructors, and
will be subject to' strict military
discipline. Advanced ROTC ca
dets, although they willobe placed
in uniform and hOuteif,' fed and.
paid by the Army, will be permit-.
ted to continue their present se
mester's work. At the completion
of the• semester, these men will
probably be sent to Army camps,
just where is unknown at the
present time.
