STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1942
Pete Marchetta
Intramural Football
Page Hall campus will be the
scene of football activities in the
afternoons as the intramural touch-
tackle football season got its start
yesterday. This inaugurated the
intramural program for the college.
Among the missing from this
year's league members will be
“grand old” College House. The
Central Avenue group found it im-
possible this year, to put a team
on the field for the first time since
the league was started, back in the
fall of 38.
Sayles Hall has entered two
squads again this year, and as re-
liable sources have it, the two
teams will be maintained through-
out the season, Another addition
to this year’s roster of teams is
“The Finks,” Though the name is
new, the faces are familiar as they
are the remnants of the former
Thomas More lads.
Rules and Referees
Elsewhere on this page are pub-
lished the rules which will regulate
the football games, It was request-
ed that all players, especially the
frosh, read them carefully, In this
way it is intended to avoid any
controversy that may arise during
the contests.
Art Flax and Charlie Capel, who
are in charge of football, are on
the lookout for more referees for the
current season. A list will be placed
on the MAA bulletin board, and
all juniors and seniors desiring to
arbitrate contests are asked to sign
up,on that list or see Flax or
Capel personally.
Cross-Country
We hear from the freshmen that
cross-country, a varsity sport of
two years ago, is returning to State,
well, maybe not as an intercollegiate
sport, but as a routine of gym
classes,
Instead of the soccer-football
schedule of previous years, Hatfield
has switched over to running. The
lads can be seen over at Washing-
ton Park scampering up and down
hills and jogging 'round the lake.
The introduction of running in
the gym class period is in keeping
with the physical fitness program.
To this department no better sport
than running could be chosen to
keep the men of the college in
the best physical condition, Plus
strengthening the legs, running de-
velops heart,
i
Iso results in long-windedn
stamina, very important to us, as
future men of the Service.
Some men, under their own in-
itiative, have already taken up run
ning for a physical conditioner. We
hope that many more men will
follow their example.
Commando Course
Under Construction
Preparations are already under-
way for the construction of the
commando cou to be used in
training all State College men.
Couch Hatfield s that the mater-
ial has been ordered and that train-
ing will start as soon as the course
is completed,
The course is being built in a
size uniform with other colleges and
with military specifications. In this
manner, the students may receive
whatever military credit) may be
offered by the services for purtici-
pation in commando training
The course is to be built large
enough for two men to run at once.
That is, the event will be more or
less competitive, Also, the time it
takes each man to complete the
course will be recorded, In_ this
way there will be an individual
record of progress in physical con-
dition and ability.
The arrangement of the course is
not yet complete, When it is, the
administration will require each man
in college to enter at least 75% of
the events, hoping at the same time
for 10% participation,
Intramural League
Commences Fall
Football Schedule
KDR, Potter, Ramblers,
Dorm A Play Opener
Intramural football made its debut
yesterday afternoon under the di-
rection of Charlie Capel and Art
Flax. Four of the eight teams open-
ed the 28 game schedule with
Kappa Delta Rho facing Edward
Eldred Potter Club, and Dorm A
meeting the Ramblers. The other
four teams in this six man two-
hand-touch league are Kappa Beta,
Sigma Lambda Sigma, Dorm B, and
the Finks. This is an increase of
teams in the league for although
College House dropped out, the
Finks and another Dorm team en-
tered the competition.
All men who passed the physical
examinations conducted by Dr, Earl
J. Dorwaldt on Wednesday night
are eligible to play as long as they
remain with the teams with whom
they signed.
Play as Scheduled
Two games will be played each
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
starting promptly at 4:30, and this
year the “mail-toters” of State will
deliver, rain, snow, or shine, The
schedule has been drawn up and will
be played accordingly.
Last year the cup was won by EEP
with KB and Sayles Hall placing and
showing respectively. Many of last
year's players are still performing
for the fraternities or other organi-
zations,
KDR boasts Marsland, Verr
and Beyer from last year’s regula
and Beach from the Dorm; EEP re-
turns with Evans, Young, Lynch,
and Combs plus Singer, Kullman,
and Gipp who played against them
last year; KB, usually a powerhouse
team, has Feigenbaum, Levin, and
the Flax Brothers, four of last year's
six; SLS will build its team around
Guarino, Capel, and O'Connor.
Dorm Has Frosh
The Dorm teams have only Tas-
soni as a letterman, but the fresh-
men will flock to support their resi-
dence hall. The Ramblers, who lost
several of their first string men, still
have Marchetta, Kiley and Miller,
besides Dooley from the Dorm, and
Ruback and Wise from College
House,
The rules will remain the same as
in other years, but may not be en-
forced quite so strictly because
“toughness” is now the password at
State,
Freshmen Racqueteers
Start Trophy Contest
With suitable tennis — weather
rapidly growing scarce, the frosh
tennis tournament has yet to really
yet under way, To date only one
match has been played. Bob Fer-
ber decisively trounced Luzier by
a score of 6-0, 6-1
Last year's tournament was com-
pleted only because the participants
wave their whole-hearted coopera-
tion in’ completing their matches,
Harry Kensky, director of — the
tournament, requests that this same
spirit be shown now in order to
bring the tournament to a successful
conclusion,
Frosh tennis assumes an import
ant place in State College sports
cireles. Last year's frosh tourna-
ment brought two fine players in,
Mullin and Finer, who were both
able to earn a varsity berth in the
spring hough little is known
about the talent represented — this
year, there may be sc first class
material, Sinee nearly one-fourth
of the frosh class is” participating
in the tournament. ‘This is a very
ood percentage
Whatever excitement is provided
this year, something will be lacking
volli broke all precedent
by being the first girl
the history of the colleye to
attempt to win the men’s tennis
title. She failed only because there
were two male players of high eal-
ibre also entered,
Last year the trophy was practi-
cally conceded to Fran Mullin before
actual play even began, This year,
however, since so little is known
about the talent represented any
entrant may be the champion.

Saphs Threaten Frosh on Rivalry;
Juniors Come to Rescue of '46
By a Sophomore
“And the condemned men ate a
hearty meal.”
This epitaph will soon find a
new meaning within the hallowed
halls of State, so declared Flo Ga
fall at a meeting of the Class of
"45 a week ago yesterday.
For, my dear little frosh, you
are to be battling for your very
lives in a precious few weeks! And
you are to be feted once more
before the “Reds” begin to mop the
floor.
One week from today the Sopho-
more will hold their annual re-
ception for the “greenhorns”. At
this time the two rival classes will
have the opportunity to look over
the opposition and plan their
methods of attack. As in the past,
the '46’ers will also have Myskania
inform them of the traditions of the
college and the inter-class rivalry
rules, How well will they learn
the true facts about the “unknown”
‘The day before Campus Day,
which will be on October 17th
this year, will mark the opening
of “new business on hand—to be
disposed of quickly and completely.”
The featu event of the men's
division will be the treating of the
frosh to a “little game of muscle-
relaxing”, commonly known about
the school as pushball, The next
afternoon the Sophs will provide a
final resting place for those who
still remain, on the football battle
field,
So frosh beware!
In the meantime you are cordially
assemble your forces,
few last acquaintances,
of the class of
“Crimson. Tide" wills you
are weleomed to Inter-Class Rival-
ry in more ways than are preseribed
in your handbook.

I5e a Game for School League
From 9:00 A. M, to 6:00 P, M.
By a Junior
Hey there frosh!! It's your turn
to launch a blitzkrieg on those gay
but foolish sophomores. We did
it last year and we mopped the
halls of State, rolled the grass in
front of Page Hall, and collected a
few pi of trousers, Only this
yeur, we think that you should go a
step further and dunk a few of then
in the icy waters of Washington
Park Lake.
From the looks of your ¢ 's
a cinch. You have the brains and
you have the brawn, while the
sophs are a different type. They're
too heavy for light work and too
light for heavy work
Let us give you a few hints on
how to beat ‘those cocky sophs.
When you get into the pushball
game, grab their ears, they're large
enough. Hit 'em hard; they'll fold
up like an old beach chair. Then,
while they're dazzled by this dis-
play of force, roll that large pill over
them and over the goal line,
All you have to do in the foot-
ball game is to hit ‘em hard and
low, and you ean breeze over them
with the gr and ease that we
did. Since they warble like a chorus
of frogs on a sultry summer night,
you will sound like nightingales: in
comparison at the song contest.
They are all very tongue-tied and
inexpressive when it comes to de-
hate, so just stand up there and give
"argument and you will clinch
it. As for stunts, their skits remind
one of a bunch of ham actors doing
their strut. Just put on a peppy
stunt and you will have them bowing
their heads in shame.
And so, frosh, while we hold no
bitterness in our hearts for the
Sophs only pily; our patience is
about exhausted by their wise ways
and cracks. We want you to knock
their ears down and win for good
old “46. We, your sister class are
hacking you all the way, so go to il
It's all) yours.
It Could
Be
Wurz
From where we sit, viewing the
sports parade, WAA has missed the
boat regarding the tennis tourna-
ment. School has been in session
more than two weeks and still the
tourney hasn't begun. We realize
that the weather has been bad, but
there have been some good days on
which matches could have been
played,
The fall tennis season in Albany
is so short that no more time should
be lost. So, come on, WAA, get on
the ball. The interest shown in
last year’s successfully completed
tournament and in this year's
tourney by the number of those
signed up for it, warrants immediate
playoffs, We'd like to see last year's
newly begun record of a finished
tourney unbroken.
Short of the Week
People never appreciate what
others do for them. We of the
5 department don’t ask for
p » however, we want you to
know the lengths to which we go to
bring you the true facts about WAA
and its sports. Two members of
the sports staff volunteered to go
riding last Saturday. Everything
went smoothly as they jogged along
over hill and dale until Byrne fell
off the horse. She claims that she
jumped—but we know that ain’t
so. After standing up through her
noon meal, she said—quote—Holy
Joe, do the WAA girls do this every
week? So you can see that we don't
just sit around all the time but
really participate in the activities
offered by WAA.
Ride at the Range
Riding is fun and grand exercise.
It is, perhaps, the most expensive
sport on WAA's list e it costs one
dollar an hour. But if you go ten
times, WAA gives you a five dollar
refund, This reduces the charge to
fifty cents an hour, a small sum for
the pleasure you receive. WAA
riding is done at The Ranch on Col-
to handle, yet spirited. If you've

Five Will Seek
Title of Queen
For Campus Day
Freshmen to Nominate
Officers at Orientation
Five girls will vie for the title of
Campus Queen, 1942 model, Mys-
kania stated today. Elizabeth
Barden, Psi Gamma, Emily Blasiar,
Kappa Delta, Dorothy Cox, Chi Sig-
ma Theta, Shirley Eastman, Kappa
Delta, and Mildred Mattice, Kappa
Delta, are the five nominees. Mys-
kania will supervise voting in the
Commons Monday, not only for
Campus Queen, but also for those
class offices which were vacated for
various reasons,
Five Nominees
Five is the traditional number of
nominees for the Campus Queen
honor. The only exception to this
being two years ago when an un-
precedented tie resulted in six girls
being nominated. From these five
girls who received the most votes in
Assembly last Friday, the student
body will choose one—whose name
will not be revealed until the Coron-
ation ceremonies Saturday, October
7.
Nominations for all freshmen
offices will be made Monday during
freshmen Orientation meeting. These
nominations will then be posted for
the required two-week period (dur-
ing which time additions may be
made to the lists), ard fresh-
men will cast their ballots for their
officers on October 26.
Past Statistics
Three of the five nominees for
Ca apus Queen were also nominees
last year for Junior Prom queen:
Shirley Eastman, Dorothy Cox, and
Mildred Mattice. The other two
nominees have since left school:
Marilyn Rich and June Melville.
Mildred Mattice was chosen Junior
Prom Queen and this may give her
a decided advantage over the other
nominees, For at least the past
three years that gir] who was chosen
Junior Prom queen has also been
given the honor of being Campus
Queen, Will history repeat itself?
Time—and the student body—will
decide,
Soph Plays Tarzan Role
In Hair-Raising Escapade
Oh, “He floats through the air
with the greatest of ease.” Who?
Anyone in stagecraft will tell you
’s Dan Regan.
It's this-a-way. Dan and four
others were sent up into the loft
after an imitation fireplace, They
attached pulleys and lowered it
with breathtaking precision. Soon,
fellow students from below saw a
figure swinging out into space a la
Tarzan. It was Dan.
Everything would probably have
worked out perfectly if the pulley
hadn’t got stuck half way down,
Have you ever dangled in space
for about 15 minutes?
Somehow, Dan feels it was
worth the nerve-wracking tension
—just to hear Miss Hopkins sym-
pathetically inquire, “Do you
REALIZE you might have broken
that fireplace?”
Greeks & Fete
Frosh at Parties
Opening the fraternity rush party
season, Kappa Beta and Kappa
Delta Rho will play host to fresh-
men men and their guests tomorrow
evening.
Kappa Delta Rho will dress the
fraternity house in carnival coloys
for the annual KDR'’cade at 8:30.
From the cellar which boasts a real
bar to the top floor, there will be
booths, concessions, and special
attractions besides dancing. Her-
t Leneker, '43, and Fred Beyer,
‘44, are co-chairmen of the event.
Said Leneker, “We'll have lots of
mysteries and surprises along with
the fun.”
Influenced by the recent visit of
Vladimir Pchelintsev to the college,
KB has adopted a Russian theme
for its vie party which will begin at
8:30 in the Commons, However, the
U.S.S.R. army uniforms and vivid
tales of the war front will give
way to wooly beards, long robes, and
Russian comedy. Harold Gold-
stein, '45, Master of Ceremonies,
promises to entertain the freshmen
with “a view of ‘Roosha’ in a defi-
nitely light mood.” Ira Freedman,
‘43, and Gilbert Snyder and George
Erbstein, Juniors, have charge of
arrangements,
Music Council
Plans to Produce
Musical Comedy
Studebaker Requests
Try-Outs for Research
Music Council will enter a new
field when it produces on Decem-
ber 10 a musical comedy written, di-
rected by and starring college stu-
dents, Final details are not yet
complete, but the main plans have
been approved. This is the first
time anything of this kind has been
attempted by the Council.
The theme of the comedy will be
Life at State College during the
“Gay 90's.” To gather material for
the venture, Mary Studebaker, '44,
in charge of the affair, announces a
research staff is needed. The job of
this staff will be to collect facts on
college life here during the last
decade of the last century. After
enough material has been gathered
a writing committee will start
work on the show. Members
of Operatic Society and freshmen
who are trying out for Music Coun-
cil are especially urged to help
gather material. Miss Studebaker
states, “After research is completed,
try-outs for parts in the musical will
be held, but nothing can be done
until we have the material gath-
ered.” She further stated that these
try-outs will be open to every stu-
dent. Rehearsals will begin as soon
as a story and music have been de-
cided upon, Miss Studebaker points
out that, inasmuch as this is a new
venture, every student should get
behind it and help make it a success,
Music for the comedy will con-
sist. of “old-timer” songs of the
Bicycle Built for Two variety. There
is even the possibility that some
original music will be especially
written for the affair. However,
nothing definite has been decided,
Musie Council has planned tenta-
tively to give half of the proceeds to
War Relief. This feature will re~
place the usual Music Council pre-
sentation of an outside guest artist.
Final plans for the affair were for~
mulated at a meeting of the Council

Myskania Will Read,
Explain Rivalry Rules
The Sophomores extend their last
friendly overture to the class of '46
tonight at 8:15 with the Sophomore
Reception, to be held in Page Hall
auditorium, This is the last big
reception this year for the honored
freshmen, and in past years has
been one of the most entertaining.
Flo Garfall, President of the Class
of '45, will open the program with a
short speech of welcome, to be de-
livered from the stage. Myskania
will also be seated on the stage,
robed in the traditional black
gowns and caps.
Rivalry Rules To Be Read
Myskania’s part of the program is
to announce and explain the frosh-
soph rivalry rules, Last year there
was some confusion regarding these
rules, and Myskania hopes to avoid
any misunderstanding this year.
Members of the audience are to feel
free to ask questions, An additional
feature of the evening’ will be the
singing of the Alma Mater by both:
classes,
The highlight of the program will
be the presentation of the sopho-~
more skit, an annual event, The
plot of the skit has been kept
secret, but the sophomores have
revealed that they have an all-star
cast, including Nora Giavelli, Sunna
Cooper, and Harold Goldstein, The
skit is under the direction of Ruth
Hines, assisted by Margaret Bost-
wick and Elsie Whipple,
Dancing, Refreshments to Follow
Following the skit the audience
will adjourn to the gymasium, where
there will be refreshments, games,
and dancing. Name tags will be
given out at the door, The floor
has been freshly waxed, and music
will issue from a vic rented for the
vecasion, In former years the danc-
ing has been held in the Commons,
but has been transferred to the
gymnasium this year ‘because of
difficulty in blacking-out the Com-
mons,
“We expect a 100% turn-out of
both classes,” says Flo Garfall, “Be-
sides, the refreshments are really
good—ice cream and cookies.”
Four Classes Plan
All-State Dance
Arrayed with the clashing colors
of the banners of all State College's
classes, the All State Dance for
the second consecutive year, will
take place in both Sayles and Pierce
Hi Friday, October 23, is the
date; the time 9 p,m. to 1 a. m,
Music from two bands, each at~
tempting to outdo the other, will
provide the rhythm for the antici-
pated crowd of 120 couples. Re-
placing Senior Hop, the Senior,
Junior, Sophomore, and freshman
classes have combined to present the
unified spirit of the entire college.
In an effort to keep the price at a
level attainable to all of State's men,
bids have been fixed at the low
price of $1.65, including tax. Follow-
ing last year's precedence and as an
added economy, the dance will be
semi-formal, sparing the man from
the expence of securing tuxedos,
In accordance with: the War Ac-
tivities Couneil’s suggestion * that
expenses be kept at a minimum,
faculty members will receive invi+
tations through personal hand~
written notes from the dance com=
mittee chairman, Mildred Mattice,
‘43, Representing the Junior Class
on the committee is Richmond
Young, while arrangements for the
hands will be made. by Florence

Rivalry For Sale?
The days which were characterized by fresh-
men-sophomore rivalry in its wildest, most un-
restrained forms are gone—perhaps forever, but
at least “for: the duration.” Such frivolity has
no place in an institution for higher learning
while our country is at war.
But rivalry will go on—with some of the
events changed, but it will continue. ‘The ques-
tion now before us is, what to substitute for the
mascot and banner hunts which were discon-
tinued and which counted 10 points, [t has been
suggested that rivalry points be awarded to the
class contributing most to the war effort—in
various ways, among which is the buying of war
bonds and stamps. Diverting enthusiasm for
rivalry into productive work, work that will aid
the war effort is all well and good, but the
minute you place emphasis on buying, even
though it be war stamps, you place rivalry on a
commercial basis, something it was never meant
to be and something it should never become.
Rivalry in the past has been won by the class
that was superior in both physical and mental
prowess, and by the class with the most enthu-
siasm, not by the class whose individual mem-
bers had the most spending money,
Let's give State students, freshmen and sopho-
mores in this case, credit for some patriotism
And if they do have some patriotism they are
buying as many war stamps and bonds as they
can afford. Is it fair then to expect these stu-
dents to sacrifice their lunch money, their recre:
ation money in order to win rivalry?
Let's not thrust an added financial burden on
their shoulders and let's not commercialize a
long-established wadition
State Lifts Its Face
Everyone talks about the social and scholastic
changes State has undergone since last Decem
ber, but few mention the actual physical changes
made in the past year. Still fewer appreciate the
effort and money invested in such college im
provements.
The lower halls of Huested and Draper, after
two weeks of disorder, have taken on a modern,
rejuvenated appearance with their new terracze
flooring. Already the Annex area looks cleaner
with the more sanitary floor replacing the drab
waaden one, ‘The science department: has been
modernized; the heavy peristyle doory have been
repaired; additional shrubbery now adorns the
campus,
These improvements merit: special attention
not only for their obyious value, but because
they were completed in spite of the restrictions
necessitated by war shortages, [na national,
amergency such as the one we are experiencing
right now, any improvements are surprising,
Thanks to thé administration, State at least has
had its face partially lifted,

General Billy Mitchell, formerly of
the United States Army, was an en-
thusiastic exponent of air power, and
of the airplane's superiority over the
battleship. He also contended that
the country which controls Alaska
holds a dagger at the heart of con-
tinental United States, Mitchell was
a little before his times, and he was
court-martialed by those men in the
army who had not his vision and
foresight,
The Japanese, however, took his
lesson to heart, and at the first op-
portunity landed troops on the two
most western islands of the Aleutian
chain, Despite bombings by Ameri-
can aircraft the Japs soon started
their progress to the east by occupy-
ing another
Americ:
this threat by landing on the An-
dreanof Islands from which Ameri-
can bombers pummeled the Japs un-
ceasingly. Yesterday morning the
Navy announced that there had been
no sign of the enemy on two of the
islands for several days, and that it
is possible that the Japs had with-
drawn all their forces to the lone
island of Kiska.
Géneral MacArthur announced
that the Japs had also been forced
to withdraw on the Island of New
Guinea, Australian troops pushing
through the gap in the Owen Stanley
mountain range had been forced to
slow down because of the difficult
terrain.
The Japanese attempted a coun-
terattack in the Solomon Islands
when they tried to land a force on
the Guadalcanal Island. Allied
bombers broke up the invasion fleet,
but the Japs did suczeed in landing
some troops.
The Russian communique says
that the city of Stalingrad is still
under heavy German assaults, but
that the lines of the defenders are
still holding firm.
Norwegian uprisings and the fear
of an allied invasion have caused the
Germans to clamp a rule of terror on
Norway. Hostages are being seized
to force Norwegian workmen to
labor on German coastal fortifica-
tions. In Trondheim fifteen more
Norwegians were executed by the
Germans in connection with charges
concerning a plot to sabotage the
Trondheim naval base.
Crows aud Cat-Calls
by Rhona Ryan
far from Albany there is a
jon of the country popu-
lated almost entirely by artists,
writers and people of such ilk, Be-
cause of the heavy percentage of
men and women who are “odd”
enough to think that some things
are more important than money and
social position, this same area is one
of the best examples of a working
democracy to be found. In fact,
there is a Saroyanesque quality
about it all—a small town banker
who pays mortgages out of his own
pocket, a grocer who refuses to col-
lect bills, a farmer who is fanatically
interested in the ballet,
I happen to have a peculiar inter-
est in South Mountain Road as the
colony is called, beeause Mary Mow-
bray Clarke, the founder,’ is my
aunt. Thirty-five years ago ‘or more,
she settled in one of the pre-Revolu-
tionary farms on the road with her
sculptor husband, and proceeded to
work out a life devoted to the arts,
but based on fundamental elements,
such as farming and handicrafts,
Gradually, more and) more

Art Circles, The most widely-
known name is Maxwell Anderson's,
but there are many others such as
Waldo -Pierce and Maurice Cantor,
the painters, and Ruth Reeves, the
textile designer, who are admittedly
top-rank in their special fields.
I have been fortunate enough to
stay at the “Brochen,” my aunt's
home, several times, and through her
to know and appreciate the signi-
ficance of South Mountain Road.
For this small area probably holds
more talent and genius per square
mile than any other comparable spot
on the earth's surface. For more
definite proof, I invite anyone to
visit Maxwell Anderson's home, us I
did, and to gaze spell-bound at one
of the most beautifully unified and
exquisite houses existing outside of
Frank Lloyd Wright's. imagination
And every stone, timber, and piece
of wood has come from the road it-
self, the labor was given by the
farmers and young ar nd the
furniture, paintings, rugs, ete., have
been fashioned and designed by the
South Mountain Road art colony
Even a good portion of the books
have been written on the road.
But, to me, the most :heartening
result of my stay there was the final
proof that a full, rich life: depends
not on money or even intelligence,
but upon living as ong wants,
though in co-operation with others
for the general good. It goes with-

this doesn't work out at all, but
somehow it has on South Mountain

LEST RUMOR REIGN
Dame Rumor is having a field day with this pro-
posed commando training. As a matter of fact, the
course must be constructed before it can be deter~
mined how many are to take part; while priorities, etc.,
make it impossible to predict the date of completion,
Until then nothing is certain—that recent journalistic
gem of the Sports dep't. notwithstanding. . . .
However, any reservist who doesn’t take advantage
of the training is being (and we quote a bigwig in our
faculty wigwam) “soft in the head,” So, as yet, no
one knows who will comprise the State College bat-
talion of Colonel Annie's Junior Commandos. . . .

Miss Delaney will outline and
explain plans formulated by the
War Council which will take affect
as soon as student cooperation is
secured, Immediately following the
program, its members will distribute
mimeographed sheets of suggestions,
plans and regulations as applied to
students and faculty,
A personal interview by a mem-
ber of the War Council will be
afforded to each student through-
out next week from 9 A.M. to
4 P.M. every day in the rotunda.
This will aid in determining the
particular aptitudes of students for
war work.
Actual participation in war work
will be emphasized this year, differ-
ing from last year's stress upon
war courses.

Tragedy, Comedy Open
Year's Dramatic Season
Advanced Dramatics will open its
fall season Tuesday night at 8:30
in Page Hall auditorium, with the
presentation of two one-act plays.
The first play, a tragedy, is di-
rected by James McFeeley, ‘44. It
is the story of a young man who
commits murder for the sake of his
sweetheart, and of the selfish mo-
tives which activate his elder
brother when he destroys a suicide
note which would have saved the
life of an innocent man. ‘The play
stars Mary Studebaker and Hal
Ashworth, Juniors, as the young
man and his sweetheart, and Art
Soderlind, also a junior, portrays
the elder brother who is “within
an ace of a judgeship.”
The second play directed by
Trece Aney, ‘44, is a Russian com-
edy-romance, featuring Paul Bar-
selou and Lois Hampel, with Robert
Loucks, Juniors.
The set designs were done by
Miss Vivian Hopkins, Instructor in
English, in collaboration with the
student directors; the sets were
erected by Miss Hopkins with the aid
of her stagecraft class

Tap Themselves for Myskania
By Jane Heath
My salad days,
When I was green in judgment.
— SHAKESPEARE.
He did some soliciting, the
Sophomore who went to the Com-
mons on Activities Day. No samples
did he have to show the anxious
frosh; no table room could he beg
from the committee in charge of
arrangements. Nothing did he have
but a convincing line, a pencil and
a sheet of paper.
“You've seen them, freshmen, the
eleven most important, most re-
spected, most, shall we say, intelli-
gent members of the student body.”
He ranted on, praising-the eleven,
urging the freshmen to “gather
around and sign up for Myskania!”
Three wide-eyed youngsters lis-
tened. One swallowed hard and
whispered, “Got a pencil?” The
others became enthusiastic and Don
Kircher, Jean Ferris, and Sylvia
Proper wrote their names, added an
imposing “46.”
Cc Skavina tugged at the
speaker's coat sleeve and asked,
eally, can we become members
so soon?”
“Yes, Ma’m,” he assured her,
shoving the paper and pencil in
her direction.
Down went eight more names:
Eileen Moody, Patricia Dunn, Helen
Burezak, Winnie Lulkoski, Mari
Liebl, Arlene Skinner, Gloria Mc-
Ferran, and Eleanor Smith.
Art Russell demanded, “Give me
proof!”
The Sophomore, taking Russell
into his confidence, pointed to a
Senior and said, ‘See her? Well,
she signed up four years ago. Just
watch her sport-her cap and gown
at next Friday's assembly.”
And another name was added to
the list.
That made thirteen. Didn’t the
Freshman Handbook say that not
more than thirteen Myskania mem-
bers were chosen annually? The
freshmen weren't to be fooled—oh
no, not they. So they left and
wandered over to the tables,
But Shirley Ford, willing to take
a chance, returned, Not satisfied
with her role of class marshall, the
greedy girl signed up with the ex-
pectation that someone might drop
out, Betty Williams became No.
on the list, and Bradley Serafford,
third boy to add his name, was the
last embryonic Myskania-ite.
He collected names for an hour
and a half, the Sophomore who
went to the Commons. Then he
spent another hour and a_ half
chuckling to himself.
William Pawlucki, who didn’t see
the solicitor, thought he'd missed
his opportunity, But when he went
home to Sayles Hall lamenting,
some helpful upperclassmen told
him they might “arrange it, but
it'll probably cost you ‘hush money.”"
Three days later, the denials of
freshman verdaney came from Kir-
cher and Russell who claimed they
did it “just for fun,” To which
the soliciting Sophomore replied,
“Oh, yeah!”
Sophs, Frosh Wailing-
Banner Hunt Is No More
It's the night for Banner rival-
ry! There's a gang of Frosh and
Sophs in the far corner of the
“Frosh Roost", (baleony to some
of us)
“Soph-o-mores!" comes a long
drawn-out yell. . ."Sophomores!”
That was last year. This year?
Well—there’s a war going on.
There are blackouts, air raid alerts
and though the Sophs can take
all that, Myskania isn't very sure
about '46, so-o-o, for 2% of" the
rivalry points, the working ma-
jority (fems to you) will play
a hot field hockey game, As for
the rest of the 10 points, Myskania
hopes to announce them before
Cumpus Day.
A word to the wise, Frosh
“Watch '45, they're really super!”
And, Sophs—vice-versa!

Prepare Program
Orchestra to Continue.
Under Snow's Direction
College musicians and vocalists
are already tuning up in preparation
for their annual presentations which
will comprise a major part of the
college activities program this year.
One organization will be missing,
however,—the State College Band,
Last year’s leader, Charles Reynolds,
42, is no longer here and, as yet, no
one has risen to replace him. The
orchestra is continuing under the
direction of Earle Snow, ’43, Bernard
Perlman, '42, last year's conductor
and founder of the State Symphony,
has recently been inducted” into the
armed forces, The draft has taken
a number of male vocalists from the
college also, but the Choral and
Operatic Societies are still function-
ing under the direction of Dr, T. F,
H. Candlyn, Assistant Professor of
Music. .
The Chorus and Orchestra will
give a joint concert in January,
Choral groups, this year entirely
composed of women’s voices, are
now blending English and Russian
folk tunes sung in three and four
part harmony, ‘
The Operatic Society, meanwhile,
has been practicing the airs of Gil-
bert and Sullivan's “Gondoliers.”
About twenty male voices, surpris-
ingly enough, are included .in the
cast, The date for the final’perfor-
mance will probably be, late in
April,
Mr. Snow repeats that the orches-
tra is open to anyone who is inter-
ested, especially freshmen. They
are invited to attend next week's
rehearsal,
Debate to Conduct Try-Outs
Varsity Debate tryouts will be
conducted Tuesday afternoon, in
Room 20, Richardson Hall, at 3:30,
Any Senior, Junior or Sophomore
is ‘eligible. Each person desiring
to try out should prepare a two-
minute speech on the topic: “Re>
solved: That men of eighteen
years of age should be drafled for
service in the United States Army.’
Tryouts for the freshman debate
will be conducted the following
week, at the same time and place,
and on the same subject.

Football Race Close tae
Football is only one week ol
here at State, but, after a glimpse
of all eight squads in action, we
find that no one team is outstanding.
‘There is no squad which outclasses
all other loop members as was
the case in past years. Potter
Club, last year’s champions, was the
class’ of the league then. They
were hard pressed in only a few
games to go undefeated for the
season. The same can be said of
KDR in previous campaigns.
‘The 1942 race, however, promises
to be as close a fight for the cham-
pionship as the recent St. Louis-
Brooklyn pennant chase in the
National League.
According to last week’s play
Potter Club and Dorm “A” (Tro-
jans) appear as strong contenders
for the Intramural Cup. Potter
Club has a flock of good experienced
players and are tops defensively.
They have a well balanced squad,
but they seem deficient in some-
thing just as important—and that
is spirit. (Remember the World
Series?), Perhaps the 6-6 tie with
KDR last week.has aroused the
Potter lads from their lethargy.
Trojans Heavy
The Trojans have weight to their
distinct advantage and so far they
have put it to good use, They have
good running and blocking, al-
though they are weak on the pas-
sing. It will be quite a battle when
the Trojans meet Potter Club and
ie winner of this contest will
have a lot to say about the cham-
pionship.
KDR, with their new shift, is
the dark horse of the league. Their
chief worry is material as there
are no capable substitutes to re-
place the starting six, Kappa Beta
and SLS will be battling it out
for the other first division spot.
KB looks very weak on the offense
being able to connect with only
short passes, while missing pitifully
on running and long passes. SLS
has a fairly good attack but is
charged with some loose playing.
Both teams are only average on the
defense.
Dorm “B”, the Finks, and the
Ramblers are the three weak sis-
ters of the league. All three squads
lack experienced players, However,
they are pushovers for no team
in the league as they are fighting
all the time and may cause upsets.
As a surprise to many was the
play of the Finks, Rated as hope-
lessly outclassed, they have put up
good battles before bowing to de-
feat in their two contests so far,
Incidently, the longest run of the
campaign was made by a Fink, Art
Olivet, when he scampered the
length of the field to a touchdown
in the KB game.
Rule Changes
A few changes have been made
on the rules governing the Intra-
mural League. A play is stopped
when an opposing player touches
the ball carrier simultaneously with
two hands any place on the back,
above the legs and below the
shoulders, The other change is
that in order to stop the ball car-
rier, the opponents must touch him
in the designated space and not
push or block him out of bounds.
Penalty for breaking this last rule
is a first down for the offensive
team at the point of the infraction.
“oe
This week we would like to pay
tribute to a first class frosh—a man
sporting the name of Dan Gillan.
Dan plays football with the Dorm
“B” squad, He is not an outstanding
star, but only an average player-
yet he receives our vote as the
most spirited player that we have
been privileged to see.
When a youth, he was a victim of
infantile paralysis, which caused the
shortening of his left leg hy a few
inches, However, despite this
handicap Dan is very active in
sports. Besides football, he plays
basketball and softball and is a
ve enthusiastic bowler, If this
is the symbol of the spirit that
lies in the class of '46, the Sopho-
mores had better beware.
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1948
Football Squads
Weak In Attack;
Strong In Defense
Trojans Are Undefeated
To Take League Lead
By Stan Gipp
The intramural touch football
league opened on schedule and all
games have been played as planned.
‘The games were featured by weak
offensives, strong defenses, and low
scores.
At the present, Dorm “A”, pop-
ularly known as the Trojans, pos-
sess a top position in the league by
virtue of two wins without a loss.
Several others have not yet been
defeated but rank below the Tro-
jans in points on a two for a win,
one for a tie basis.
In Thursday's openers, the feature
game between KDR and EEP ended
in a 6-6 stalemate. The excellent
pass defense thrown up by KDR
and Potter's weak defensive resulted
in this early upset. Bob Leonard
intercepted a pass to score for KDR
from twenty-five yards out. For
three quarters EEP fought desper-
ately, finally scoring as Evans hurd-
led center. Both teams failed to
score the extra point.
Trojans Top Ramblers
The Trojans defeated the Ramb-
lers 14-0 in a one-sided contest
on the other gridiron. Although
they failed to capitilize on the
breaks the Dorm boys had by far
the better team.
On Tuesday Kappa Beta was
forced to the limit to defeat the
Finks in what was supposed to
have been a breather. KB recov-
ered a fumbled punt and scored
immediately. The surprisingly fast
Finks tied up the game on a goal
to goal run by Olivet, with the
aid of some beautiful down-field
blocking by Carpenter. This game

also had all the appearances of an
upset tie until the last quarter,
when KB scored a safety and then
clinched the game on a touchdown
pass to Art Flax,
SLS defeated the inexperienced
Shieks, Dorm “B”, by a twelve to
nothing score. However, the score
would have been much more de-
cisive were it not for frequent
SLS offside and other penalties.
Weight and experience seemed to be
the factor which stopped the Dorm
team despite the efforts of young
Dick Chillemi.
Fatal Fourth
‘Again on Tuesday the Finks pro-
duced the major attraction although
they again lost in the last quarter.
The heavy Trojan team was held to
a safety until the last quarter when
the smart quarterbacking of captain
Fay Welch, the elusive running of
Joe soni, and the huge frame
of Mike Ganakus set up two touch-
downs.
KDR won their first contest on
Tuesday, defeating the Ramblers
19-6. There was no doubt about
the victor at any point in the game,
although Max Braun of the Ramb-
lers worried KDR considerably.
Leonard and Beyer, received nu-
merous Verrey passes for both long
gains and touchdowns.
If the scores and play of these
first games are at all indicative of
the future games, the championship
will be well-earned and the champ-
ions well-named,
LATE SCORES
Yesterday afternoon the Kappa
Beta team downed the SLS aggrega-
tion by a score of 14-7. The winners
took an early lead by scoring two
touchdowns on passes in the first
half. SLS rallied in the final quar-
ter and tallied on an intercepted
pass—Dave Griffin going over the
goal line,
In the other game Potter Club ran
and passed at will to score an easy
38-0 victory over an outclassed but
fighting Dorm “B" te

“Hep, two, three, four, come on

Hatfield to the laboring frosh gym

WAA Program
Hits Full Stride
Hockey, ming
Archery, Riding Popular
WAA hockey days have been
changed to Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday, So few people reported for
practice on Monday that the change
had to be made. Games are played
at 3:30 in front of Page Hall on the
above days. Ten hours of super-
vised play are necessary for credit.
Many girls are out for this sport and
at each session new teams are
chosen. Due to transportation dif-
ficulties, it is rumored that there will
be no hockey conferences this year.
Swimming, under the captaincy of
Pat Latimer, will start soon at Pub-
lic Bath No, 3 on Thursday nights.
As usual, the time will be 7:30 and
the cost will be ten cents. Last
summer Pat was sent by WAA to
a school where she received her
Red Cross Lifesaving Certificate
and will teach Life-Saving this year.
Mary Sanderson will have charge of
the regular swimming. It is hoped
that many girls will take advantage
of this opportunity to learn lifesav-
ing.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-
days at 3:30 Betty Clough and Helen
Bushnell are in command of archery.
The fall season ends at Thanks-
giving. All those desiring credit in
a fall sport must have their hours
completed by then.
Frosh Tennis Tourney
Proceeding Slowly
Another week has passed and still
the Frosh tennis tournament has
failed to start rolling. All first
round matches were scheduled to be
played by Monday, September 28;
second round matches by Thursday,
October Ist; third round matches by
Saturday, October 3rd; and the finals
were to have been played Tuesday,
October 6th.
As yet, only four matches have
been played, Walt Block defeated
Les deWeerdt, Mark Blunt topped
Block 7-5, 4-6, 8-6; Dick Chillemi
bested Irv Finger 6-2, 6-0, and Bob
Ferber beat Lazer 6-0, 6-1.
Harry Kensky, director of the
tournament, is definitely disap-
pointed in the progress so far, He
urges all players to get in touch with
their opponents and arrange to play
off their matches.

Matches to Begin
Plans for the WAA tennis tourney
have been completed. Fifteen girls
have entered the contest. Seven
matches are scheduled for the first
round. These must be played and
the results must be submitted to the
captains, Giavelli and Domann, be-
fore October 14. Not a single match
has been played yet due in part to
the inclement weather which has
kept the Washington Park courts
in a boggy condition.
The two contests of major interest
in the first round are those between
Nora Giavelli and Helen Hennessy,
and Flo Garfall and Kay Devine.
The winners of these two matches
play each other in the second round.
‘Thus, if both Nora and Flo win their
games, the two finalists of last
year’s tourney will again meet.
The fifteen girls who are playing
in the tourney are Pat Latimer,
Joan Smith, Mary Domann, Nora
Giavelli, Eileen Shoup, Helen Hen-
nessy, Flo Garfall, Kay Devine,
Dotty Huyck, Leah Tischler, Arline
Polsky, Winifred Luikoski, Sunna
Cooper, Josephine Simon and Alma
Beckerle.
Domann and Giavelli are hoping
for fair weather so that the tourna-
ment may be completed before the
park courts are closed for the sea-
son. All contestants should play
their matches as rapidly as possible,
Freshmen Squad
To Start Practice
Coach G. E. Hatfield has issued
first call for all frosh interested in
playing intercollegiate basketball
this season, Preliminary training is
to begin early next week. Coach
Hatfield is calling out the frosh
earlier than the upperclassmen in
order to get some idea of the
quantity and quality of the basket-
ball material contained in the fresh-
man class, The frosh are especially
important this year as they are
eligible for positions on the varsity.
The entire basketball set-up at
State, as has been previously an-
nounced is to be changed this year.
Instead of a Varsity-Frosh arange-
ment as of former years, a Varsity-
Junior Varsity system is to be em-
ployed,
All frosh interested are urged
to attend the first meetings. High
school experience, while helpful, is
not essential. Nothing very strenu-
ous is planned for the first few days.
Calisthenics and general loosening
up of the frosh is to be the first
activity. In this Coach Hatfield is
to be helped by student assistant
coaches,
The schedule of the J. V. team
has not yet been announced, but is
expected to follow more or less
closely that of last year's frosh
team,
