all three teams are tied for the

games, winning one and losing one.

as far as the Rah, Rah type of col-
lege spirit goes, The intramural
league is an attempt to maintain
some degree of normality. We think
it is an attempt that would have
greater success if the girls would
show more interest.
Once Again
Once more the WAA tennis tour-
nament comes in for its share of
censure. The slim amount of time
alloted by the Albany weather is
fast running out and as yet no action
has taken place on the tennis court.
By now the situation has become
such that we do not scold WAA with
any malice forethought, but,
rather, as the regular duty of the
Sport's department. Every year, it
seems that the editor spends his
first five columns reviling WAA for
its conduct of the tournament and
his second five lamenting tne fact
thet the tournament was not con-
ducted more efficiently. The sacred
trust has been passed on to us and
we take up the torch.
Contrary to the Srare Cottece
News Bob Dickinson did not leave
“soon.” It may even be that the
Navy will not give the word until
after the Rivalry football game. We
understand that the sophs are quite
elated at the news. A permanent
“committee to keep our fingers
crossed till after the game” has been
formed and is. now holding daily
meetings.
Suggestion Dep't.
A suggestion has come from an
alum now out in the “field.” This
public spirited citizen pruposes that
the student tax be raised to 21
dollars—the extra sheckels to go
into a fund to take a new picture
of Dr. Sayles, We support the
measure, Not that we object to the
present pose, It’s just that a change
of scenery is always appreciated.
Intervarsity Football
The latest news on the MAA front
is startling to say the least. The
powers that be in the athletic fleld
have succeeded in getting together
enough of that rare species, male,
to play a touch tackle football game
with Siena, For the sake of those
who were as surprised as we were
we repeat that this is a real-live
football game.
The game is scheduled to be
played a week from Sunday on the
Beverwyck park field, Keep the
date open,
$64,
The third quarter was filled with
fireworks from beginning to end.
The Shieks kicked-off and the
Ramblers ran it back to their own
30 yard line. After an incompleted
pass, Dickinson faded and shot a
mighty heave all the way down to
the Shiek 20 where the ball bounced
off Sullivan and Ingalis into the
waiting arms of Weber who carried
it over for the score.
Again the pass for the extra was
batted down and the Ramblers
kicked to the Shieks. They started
a sustained drive that fizzled on the
Rambler 12, After the Ramblers
had advanced the ball to mid-field,
the Shieks took over and scored
their last touch-down when Sulli-
van ran around left end for the
score,
Final Score
Wednesday afternoon the Falcons
showed much better form than they
did in their opener and took over
the Shieks in a close game, 25-20,
The Falcons started fast and piled
up a 12-0 advantage before the
game was hardly under way. Their
first tally came when Dickinson
flipped to Weber in the flat who
went 20 yards for the score. Weber's
pass for the point was wild. The
Shieks then received, but on the
first play Heinan fumbled and Hess
recovered for the Falcons, The
Falcons wasted no time cashing in
on their break. On the second play
from scrimmage, Weber threaded
the needle with a pass to Dave Leh-
man who smashed over for the
touch. The try for the point was
no good,
With a 12 point deficit staring
them in the face the Shieks opened
up with a running game that car-
ried them to the Falcon five yard
line where “Sparky” Vaughn scam-
pered off tackle to score, Sullivan's
pass for the conversion was knocked
down. This ended the scoring until
mid-way through the second period
when Sullivan took a pass from
Vaughn to tie up the game. They
broke the tie by converting on a
pass from Sullivan to Heinan.
The third period was compara-
tively quiet with only one score,
The Falcons regained the lead with
another pass play, Lehman taking
one from Dickinson, Lehman also
scored the extra point on a pass
from Weber.
In the last quarter the Shicks
and the Falcons both scored. The

Rivalry Football
Set For Monday
Monday afternoon will find rivalry
football returning to State after a
year lapse. Not since October 1942
has the Page Hall field resounded to
the cheers of rival classes as they
urged their men‘ to greater and still
greater efforts. That day in 1942
found the Red Raiders of ’45 storm-
ing through the Blue Devils of '46
to win 27-6. Then came Uncle
Samuel and off went the men of
'46, This left the athletes of ‘47
with no opponents and no game.
This year, however, '47 has enough
husky men back to make up a pretty
fair team, and will attempt to show
the frosh what is what.
The Opponents
The frosh at this writing appear
to have a fast, light team with a
good passing attack. They plan to
mix in a running game with Ray
Cocusi and team captain “Sparky”
Vaughn doing most of the ball toting.
Both men have had experience in
high school football and will be hard
to stop.
The sophs have a definite edge
over the frosh in weight and have
several fast men, They have a strong
passer in Harold Weber who has
uncorked some gargantuan heaves in
intra-mural games so far this year.
The running game of the sophs will
probably be built around Bert Pike
who startled everybody with a 60
yard runback of an intercepted pass
in the first intra-mural game of the
year.
Both teams are hepped up at the
prospect of winning undying glory
for both themselves and their re-
spective classes. The freshmen want
to show the world that they aren’t
the Joe Cruds that everyone makes
them out to be and the sophs want
to prove that the frosh are just that.
The game itself will be played
under the official intra-mural rules.
Most of the player are already
familiar with these and those that
are not should contact their team
captains and learn the rules,
In choosing a referee it was de-
cided that Dave Lehman, a senior,
would be the most unbiased in his
decisions. Lehman has played foot-

Tennis Season Begins
(
As a result of the voting which
took place this week, Mary Sander-
son '45 was elected to the office of
Vice President of WAA.
Next week, as the tennis tourney
gets under way, tennis will resume
its predominate place on the fall
sports program. A schedule of the
matches has been placed on the
WAA bulletin board stating that the
first round of matches must be
played off by next Monday.
Ae we look over the list of players,
we find the names of several vet-
erans of former tennis tournaments.
Among these are: Flo Garfall '45,
Jo Simon '45, Peg Bostwick '45, Ei-
leen Shoup '46, Betty Rose Hilt ’47,
and Molly Cramer, '47. This year
the names of only three freshmen
appear on the schedule.
Garfall and Simon, due to former
prowess on the courts, are recog-
nized as the two strongest con-
tendants for the cup, but since the
Inie-up shows several other hard-
ened contestants, the final outcome
is unpredictable.
Due to the fact that the Sayles
Hall gym is no longer available for
WAA use, badminton and volley
ball will take place in the Page Hall
gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
4 pm.
Life Saving Class
Featured Soon
Lifesaving will be offered as a
part of the regular WAA sports
program, Classes will start on
Monday, October 8. It has been
suggested that those who are inter-
ested, try to get their meals early—
by five o'clock if possible—since
it is necessary to begin class
promptly at seven.
The Jewish Health Center on
Washington Avenue, between the
White Tower and the State Educa-
tion building will be the scene of
activities. There will be no cost to
State College students.
Junior Lifesaving is not a pre-
requisite to the course. The only
difference between Junior and Se-
nior Lifesaving is the age group.
A Junior badge may be obtained
between the ages of twelve and
seventeen. After seventeen you may
work for a Senior Lifesaving badge.
All who wish to take this course
may sign up on the WAA bulletin.
board. WAA credit will be given.
Everyone interested in swimming
or who desires to indulge in a pleas-
ant, practical sport is urged to sign
up.

Page Hall on October 20 at 8:30 P.M.,
under the sponsorship of Dramatics
and Arts Council, She has been call-
ed a monologist, an impersonator,
and most offen a mimic. But none
of these terms are accurate, for she
doesn't stop at imitating a character.
She interprets and projects the pe!

become a part of her, and she carries

Miss Draper gives about eight or
ten sketches an evening, with no
more than a minute's intermission
between each one. She changes the
program completely twice a week,
Last May, out of a passive
midst arose startling plans for
a State College Student Union—a project that would serve as
a goal for the present Student Association and Student Asso-
ciations to come. Plans were set down for the realization of
this goal. Student tax was increased to $20, members of the
Class of ’44 signed pledges, and it was suggested that the
proceeds from the 1944-45 “Big Eight” and ensuing “Big
Eights” be turned into this Student Union Fund. Popular
vote sanctioned this turn of events.
However, a few weeks before the plans for a Student Union
were introduced into Assembly, the student body was asked
to make a decision concerning the subsequent distribution of
the 1943-44 “Big Ten” money. A bond had already been pur-
chased to cover the cost of a field ambulance, but in 12 years
that bond would reach maturity, and $2500 would be turned
back to the Student Association. It was up to the students to
decide into what channels this money would be promulgated.
Their decision was to put the $2500 into scholarship money

for a veteran or child of a veceran of World War II. At the
time, there was little discussion and almost no opposition to
this proposal.
The fact remains that this is a State College and therefore
tuition-free and inexpensive.
In addition, utilization of the
funds for scholarships will affect only a few students in com-
parison te the number enrolled.
If so desired, Student Association can have this motion
rescinded, and vote to place

Like most artists, Miss Draper has
to work hard to achieve the desired
effect in her sketches. She builds up

rejects lines, and finally “keeps only
the essentials.” There are always
slight changes, omissions and addi-

no two portrayals of the same sketch
are quite the same,
Her wardrobe consists of assorted

"This, Our Generation”
This, our generation, is a lazy one, In comparison
to the rugged living allocated to our forefathers, and
even our fathers, we have been swathed in an exist-
ence of luxury. We have been pampered, and soft-
ened, and exposed only to those things which require
but a minimum of energy.
Our life has come too easy, and our set of values
has changed. Five cents in a subway, and ten cents
on a bus will take us a reasonable distance. We
think no more of picking up a telephone and dialing
a number than we think of stopping to greet a person
on the street.
Inventions doubtlessly are marvelous things, but
sadly enough, their entrance has made our life easy,
and in making our life easy, it has made us com-
placent. It is regrettable to cast a backward glance
and witness the consistent shifting of emphasis onto
the material side of things. Where the dollar is all-
important, and a good heart or a conscience is a
sideline.
It is disheartening to realize that this is a world
of mammon where people believe that money can
buy anything worth having—only there are no
price-tags attached to the higher ideals in life
We're afraid of work; we might as well face it.
‘There are millions like us, easily deflated, easily
enthused, and we think we're wonderful. We think
we can take life on the chin, but we can’t, We lack
a certain stability and a definition of purpose.
The only peoples of our generation who can mea-
sure up are the men in service who are now fighting
on foreign soil for the preservation of our kind of
life. In their minds, the American way is an ideal
which they expect some day to find tangible.
They've built plans, Their eye is to the future,
It’s these men we'll have to answer to, They've
been hardened to life, and we're soft, They happen
to be the better of the two, We'll have to tell them
how we suffered, how we rolled bandages, gave
blood, read the newspapers, bought bonds, and
reminisced, And probably, the latter will be the
only statement worth its weight in truth.
You can’t lie to men who risked their lives for you.
You can only disappoint them. You never bother-
ed to find out where ‘Tarawa was, you couldn’t give
your blood, you hated to spend your evenings roll-
ing bandages, and you let somebody with more
money buy the war bonds.
Victory is in the not-too-distant future, America
has been less touched by the war than any other
country, and we the Americans are not grateful in
the fullest extent of the word, We haven’t seen
lives tossed to the winds without charge,
We've been spoiled, protected. We're a lazy gen-
eration, and our minds, as of putty, can be molded
into any direction, Of only one thing can we be
sure, When the boys come marching home, a certain
generation is going to have to grow up in a hurry,
Communications—
Dear Editor:
We've been slandered! Rivalry
spirit? We have it! The Sophomores
No.3 have felt it and will feel more!
We shall begin by recounting the
tale of another night in the dorm.
It was hardly a dull thud that shook
Pierce Hall on the night of Septem-
ber 26, The halls rang with the
battle cry of '48—“Geronimo!" The
Sophomores quaked—we saw them
run! Organized, en raasse, the
Yellow Peril bore down on the scat-
tering Green.
In fright, many took refuge in a
Sophomore room and, with the
phonomenal power known to be pro-
duced by terror, they held the door
against our onslaught. Soon we
were rewarded in our thirst for
battle and revenge by a slight rally-
ing on the part of the Sophs. When
they were ready to fight, we prompt-
ly went into action and thoroughly
doused the Sophs who were vainly
struggling to maintain some of the
“Fight and Pep” they sing about,
Many of their once proud leaders
emerged from the showers drenched
and shaken, It was '48 that ran
through the halls which had seen
frosh victory with their triumphant
cry—"Geronimo!"” Yes — '47 felt our
spirit that night, or do they refuse to
remember?
In regard to the propaganda “a
night in the dorm” of the Sratz Coi-
Lede News of September 29, written
with obvious malice, we have this
to say. The article seems to build
the entire rivalry spirit of '47 and
what they erroneously call lack of
'48 spirit on the one incident of their
attacking two sleeping frosh and of
their seeking revenge for a display
of '48 spirit on one freshman. This
incident hardly seems proof of their
claimed superiority of spirit.
Another thing—we were new and
inspired by the ideal of fair rivalry
regulated by the rules presented to
us. We are a little older and wiser
now. At first the ideal shook on its
pedestal and threatened to fall when
we viewed a few of the '47 tactics
of rivalry, However, in kindness
and tolerance, we shall pass over
this phase of our education to
rivalry,
To the Editor:
‘We don’t want money. We don't
even want your blood. All we want
is a little spirit, Sophomore girls.
Last week, for the first time in two
years, the freshman and Sophomore
men had a chance to really partici-
pate in rivalry. So what happens?
Nothing.
We realize the football game wasn't
@ professional job, but we tried and
would like to feel that you appre-
ciated the attempt anyway. Fresh-
man women turned out in swarms to
cheer their side on, but they out-
numbered the Sophomore women
terrifically. We won the game, but
the frosh men were in much higher
spirits after it was over. Why?
Because they had their women out
there pulling for them, telling them
they were doing okay, win or lose.
We realize that we constitute only
@ small part of '47 and that our part
in rivalry is limited to that propor-
tion, but we would like to know that
we are not ignored because there are
so few of us. We'd like to know
that you will accept the little we
have to offer. We don't expect you
to slaam to us. Just a little backing
at the events we participate in
would do the trick very nicely, In
addition to what it does for us, your
cheering may help us win a few extra
rivalry points.
Think it over, Sophomore Women.
‘Thanks,
The Sophmen
You saw our spirit at the rivalry
football game and you certainly
heard it! Our boys didn’t win, but
they knew we were right there
behind them and that, win or lose,
Wwe were proud of them. We realiz
the cost of that lost game, but it
couldn't dampen our spirit and our
pride in ‘48, We promise you a con-
tinuance of this undefeatable spirit!
We hope we have shown you that
freshman spirit is high and will stay
high, Just watch it! Let us shake
hands, '47. May the best class win
(and there is no better class than
"48).
Geronimo!

Sahkatalld
J.T.
Long, long ago we dreamed, A
kind lady gave us, State College, a
beautiful mansion anda key. The
door swung open and we entered,
walked knee-deep in the soft rugs
and explored each room, finally
selecting just the right corner for a
pleasant nap. State settled down to
many an idle hour's dream of life
in the big mansion.
This spot for gaiety, that one for
an hour of restful music, and here
an office, there another—a_ whole
houseful of dreams for a Student
Union. The magic words were shout-
ed and we awoke to plan and to in-
vestigate. How was such a union
run? What did other shools do?
How much would it cost? How im-
portant to the student body?
We found out: At that time o
Student Union was considered im~-
practical. That was four years ago.
a year later Farrell Mansion w:
turned into a women’s dormitory,
and today there are about thirty
women housed therein,
Four years ago we turned our
pockets inside out and scrutinized
budgets. Well, a Student Union had
been a pleasant dream and a penni-
les venture, And until last May no
one dreamed again.
Now we have a housing shortage,
a mansion for thirty women, and a
good round sum of $6,000 laid by for
Student Union plans. How long to
keep on dreaming?
We're not quite sure we want to
pay six dollars per year until we
graduate for something we'd like to
have but shall never see till long
after we leave school, Unless the
Student Union is born in Farrell
House, it must be shelved along with
other post-war plans for expansion
of the College, Post-war building
will not begin with the rounding up
of the war criminals nor the day
after that, Were we to count th
years until a Union building could
be constructed, there would be many,
probably enough to make us forget
the whole project.
‘There's another thing to be con-
sidered. Assuming that we are so
beneficient that we will give a Stu-
dent Union building to those who
will enter College years from now,
should we not decide whether they
would prefer a white or pink ele-
phant? Kindly old ladies often give
away snuff-boxes and frilled petti-
coats that were in fashion in their
day. A Student Union was in vogue
when ‘41's grand old seniors walked
out and evidently is in good taste
today.
It has been written that returning
veterans who now attend colleges in
this country are objecting to certain
required courses and... frater-
nities, Just another case of the men
who have seen a world and cannot
confine themselves. Though we
shudder, the old order changeth,
or would like to. But a Student
Union, that wonderful dream ma-
terial— future generations will cry
for it! Come, now, let's be intelli-
gent.
Too, Student Council tentatively
places the post-war Student Union
building in the vicinity of the Alum-
nt Residence Halls. When State
College moves out of the Commons
and News Office, It must perforce
congregate between classes blocks
away from the school buildings with
the exception of the post-war gym-
nasium.
Please, then, can't we open wide
the doors of Farrell House some year
soon? Let the committee of four,
chosen to search the manston for
creaks and cracks, investigate thor-
oughly and announce; A Student
Union, housed in Farrell, is deemed
practical, possible, and probable.
For @ considerably smaller sum,
the Student Union could begin to
function and prove itself agreeable
to those who will enter State, Then
we would fear less that come-upon-
® peacetime there would be a beau-
tiful new building which students
would rather leave empty,
—by KIPPY MARS!
You are a senior. You may hate the sound and sight
of it but there it is. Like death and taxes it's always
with you and like long dresses and your first corsage,
it always sneaks up on you.
Underclassmen consider the word Senior as a syno-
nym for an advanced state of senility. These healthy,
virile young creatures bestow looks of pity upon you,
open the doors lest you collapse of fatigue, shut the
windows lest you die of exposure. Bent backs, bifocals
and that harassed look are regarded as familiar traits
of the Senior.
To compensate for these overwhelming odds, there
are a few attendant advantages, Seniors, like tottering,
childish wrecks of eighty, may pull out their cherished
memories of a past Golden Age without being
socially ostracized. This advantage I would like to
claim, I want to take all of you back to December,
1941, when the class of '45 sat in the Rogues Gallery,
thought that a trot was no more than a meaning for
gallop, and wondered which sorority they would join
We were babies. We were the transition class — from
peace to war.
From peace to war. December 7, 1941. And now
December 8, 1941 at noon — the President of the United
States to declare that a state of war has existed be-
tweent the United States and Japan.
Eleven o'clock classes are over. From Spanish and
Hygiene, Calculus and Ed 10 pour hundreds of students.
The slow line begins to the Assembly Hall. There is a
low undercurrent of talk, the rattle of seats, the wave
of freshmen to the gallery — familiar sounds of a col-
lege assembly. But now a hush begins to fall upon
the audience, The students settle in their seats and
wait with sharp, focused attention. There is the shrill,
quick blare of the radio, a pause, and then the final
sound—the voice of the President of the United States.
There is not a sound in the Assembly save that
quiet, steady voice. Every face {s set as if in a mold.
For it is not until this moment that every student
realizes the full and horrible meaning of the unintel-
ligible reports which he heard the night before. Last
night there was the Algebra test and History home-
work and the stockings to be washed. Now there is
only the steady drone of a voice and the pinched,
beaten look upon the faces of those who are older
and have seen another war. Now there is only a
sudden panic and an overwhelming sense of loneliness.
Now there is only the boy next to you with hunched
shoulders and an intent, concentrated seriousness. All
of them sweep over you in a sudden rush of feeling
which will come to you again and again — when you
say goodbye to the fellows and when you salute a flag
with six golden stars. Golden stars engraved upon the
heart of a college.

What with everybody on the constant move, the
servicemen’s file is still incomplete. In about two more
weeks, it ought to be as much intact as is possible. At
the present, there are several of the fellows who can-
not seem to be located. Does anybody know if Warren
Kullman is still an Aviation Cadet at Peru, Indian-
napolis?
Other addresses which are months old, and seem
unlikely to still be valid are MacLaren, Chanute Fiel

Investigation at Farrell
To Start Immediately
Student Council meeting Wednes-
‘day resulted in appointments to
the Election Committee and a re-
port on the activities of the Student
Union Committee.
Florence Garfall, '45, President of
Student Association, announced the
followinz appointments to election
Committee: Helen Stuart, ‘45,
Chairman, Mayola Thayer, '45, Jo-
sephine Maggio and Georgette Dunn
Juniors, Eunice Golden and Edna
Sweeney, Sophomores, Miss Garfall
also announced that the curtains
wiil be put up in the Commons in
the near future. They are already
up in the cafeteria.
Union Committee Meeting
The committee for Student Union
will meet with Dr. John M. Sayles,
President of the College, and Dr.
Ralph Beaver, Assistant Professor
of Mathematics, Wednesday at 3:30
P.M, in Dr. Sayles’ office. The com-
mittee is composed of Dr. Sayles
and Dr. Beaver, representing the
administration and the faculty; Flo-
rence Garfall and Robert Loucks,
Seniors; Flora Conca and Kathryn
Kendall, Juniors; and Marjorie
O'Grady, ‘47.
According to Miss Garfall, the
consensus of opinion so is that
Farrell House will not be adequate
for a Student Union, A full report
will be given to Student Association
at a later date. Whether or not
Farrell can be used depends upon
the engineers report. Students are
welcome and urged to inspect the
house themselve:
Student Union Fund
The Student Union fund to date
totals $6,622 in cash. This figure
does not include the pledges from
the Class of '44 which will be col-
lected in February.
After the Inspection, if Farrell
House is found to be inadequate,
Student Union may be built in the
vicinity of the dorms. Out-going
Senior classes and recent alumni
will be contacted for contributions.
Myaleanta Warns Frosh
For Second Offense
Paul Vaughn, ‘48, has been report-
ed twice to Myskania by members
of the Sophomore class for entering
the door before an upperclassman,
This constitutes a violation of
Tradition 3, which states that when
two or more students of different
rank enter a building or any room
of a building at the same time,
deference must be shown to upper-
classmen.
The penalty of a first offense is
® warning from Myskania. The
penalty of a second offense, which
Js the case of Mr. Vaughn, is not
only a warning from Myskania, but

name in the Srark Cot, News,

“Crime Does Not Pay !!!’" ”
Guilty Sophomore Repents
Has anyone heard the latest
escapade of a certain Sophomore
who recently borrowed an item
{rom a local night spot? It seems
& group of young ladies from the
dorm went out one night. Now
all of the ladies thought each of
the other young ladies was also
a lady, but in their midst was a
damsel _who hadn't read her
Emily Post or listened to her
mother, or something. This little
lass happened to be a glass col-
lector, and the minute the waiter
turned his back, she popped a
little glass into her bag and left
ahead of the rest,
The waiter, who was a very
wise man, quickly upped to their
table, Quoth he, “Give with the
glass or a dollar!”
The rest of the ladies couldn't
see why they had to pay a buck
just because their friend was a
kleptomaniac, so they paid the
bill and ran out the door.
A minute later, a lone figure
crept stealthily into the night
club and over to the table the
ladies had occupied.
A pocketbook was opened —
there was a flash and a bang.
‘Didn't want your old glass any-
how!" she mumbled as she slunk
out the door.

NEXT time...”
It's unfair to judge’ the frosh on
their performance during the first
few weeks of school. They have no
organized leadership. Getting ac-
quainted, attending the numerous
receptions, buying books, writing
letters home, take up most of the
24 hours alloted to a freshman each
day.
In time, however, the fog lifts. The
freshmen learn what Rivalry is all
about. That's when someone in-
variably decides that unorganized
Rivalry has gone far enough. Nu-
merous people write letters to the
editor, upperclassmen drag out the
gory tales of Rivalry when they
were freshmen, they sigh for the
godd old days when a ducking in
Washington Park lake was the ac-
cepted, inevitible lot of the frosh
president. But life can be beautiful,
they say, and we must try to make
it so, mustn't we?
Bulletin-Happy
We never thought there would
come a time in our young lives
when the sight of a WAA bulletin
board would thrill us, change our
whole outlook on life, But leave us
face it, Seeing the long lists of
people who have-signed up for life-
saving and hiking gave us a special
glow. We are looking forward to
much of interest from these two
departments in the near future,
Life-saving, a comparative new-
comer on the WAA scene, has gain-
ed rapidly in popularity. Tt has the
advantage of being practical as well
fs good exercise. Many of the for-
mer pupils have spent enjoyable
and profitable summers rescuing
hometown folk from local pools,
Have you noticed the tans some uf
these people have acquired? And,
what's this we hear about swimming
being oh so good for the figure
Esther Williams js doing all right a
exhibit number 1,
There are not quite as outstand-
ing endorsements for hiking but we
can strongly recommend the sport
as a basis for all other athletics,
Egad, Tennis
Tt begins to look as If maybe the
tennis tournament is going to go
against all sports department tradi-
tion by getting itself completed on
time. We are willing to publicly,
and in print to apologize for all
slurs against the falr name of ten-
nis, when and if the contest Is suc-
cessful, We will spend reams of
paper extolling the virtues of the
sport, the contestants, the winners,
the captains, WAA, etc. Give us a
champ and we'll do the rest.
Bob Dickinson will probably go
down in history as the only man to
make a column three weeks In a
row but we want to wish him luck
once agalin—he's really gone this
time,
In Rough Rivalry Game
Weber Stars for ‘47;
Scores on Interception
The Sophomores drew first blood
cf the 1944-'45 rivalry when they
toppled the freshmen in football,
7-0, This game marked the return
of rivalry football after a lamented
lapse of two years. Both teams had
pointed for the game for over two
weeks and were raring for action.
The result was the toughest con-
test of the year. Hard running,
sloppy but vicious blocking, inter-
cepted passes and booming punts
furnished thrill after thrill for the
colorful crowd of girls that saw the
battle.
Rough and Tough
The game opened with the frosh
doing the honors by kicking off.
Hansen did the booting and got off
a good one that carried almost to the
Soph goal line. Pike took the ball
and ran it back to his own 35 be-
fore being tagged. From this point
on the game settled into a quiet
slugfest that furnished plenty of ac-
tion, but no scores until the third
period when the Sophs manufac-
tured their only score of the game.
Mid-way through the second pe-
riod the Sophs made their first bid.
With the ball on the frosh 30, Pike
slashed off tackle and went tearing
through the line for a touchdown.
Sullivan called the play back be-
cause Pike left the ground when he
reached the line of scrimmage. This
was called “unnecessary roughness”
which resulted in a five-yard penalty
for the Sophs and took the punch
out of their attack.
Frosh Bid, Sophs Score
The frosh threatened to score
several times, but only once did they
really come close, Early in the third
stanza they had first down and goal
to go only to be hurled back by the
hard-charging Soph line and finally
lost the ball on downs.
The big break of the game came
at the end of the third quarter when
Jim Brophy of the frosh passed
from his own 30 and Hal Weber
intercepted for the Sophs. He
caught the ball on the mid-field
stripe and with beautiful blocking
streaked down the sideline for the
score. They made it 7-0 a few mo-
ments later as Bob Dickinson ran
through the frosh for the extra
point.
Take a Bow, Boys
Individual stars were lacking, but
there are some that should be men-
tioned. For the frosh it was
“Sparky” Vaughn and Jim Brophy,
Vaughn for his nice running and
Brephy for passes that would have
been great if he could have had
protection.
The Sophs had Bert Pike and
Harold Weber to brag about, Pike
did some rugged blocking, the one
he threw on Sorenson after Weber's
interception probably won the game
for the Sophs, Weber was a bul-
wark on defense in addition to scor~
ing the only touchdown, Bob Dick-
inson had tough luck in his last
game here. He completed only one
out of nine passes attempted,

State Favored
To Defeat Siena
In Tilt Sunday
An inexperienced, raw but favor-
ed State College touch-tackle team
will face an invading Siena College
juggernaut this coming Sunday at
Beaverwyck Park.
State is accepting a Siena chal-
lenge, Each team will have six
men, The men of State have been
trying to mold a heavy and power-
ful team to doom the boys from
Siena,
State will go into Sunday's fray
minus the pass'ig arm of Bob Dick-
inson who left for the navy and
whose herculean heaves will be
sorely missed.
Hal Weber will be relied on to
step into Dickinson's shoes and do
most of States passing.
Pike and McCarthy are State’s
best bets in the blocking depart-
ment,
“Sparky” Vaughn, shifty and
light, may start in the backfield
along with Weber on the offensive.
Dave Lehman and Ray Cacuazzi
will probably occupy the other line
posts.
Thus State meets Siena with a
hodge-podge of material, inexperi-
enced but willing and ready to fight
for a hard victory over the warriors
from Siena.
If the Statesmen can capitalize on
its heavy line, it can be counted on
to give Siena a hard fight and if
it can’t, it will meet with a lot of
trouble.
Siena claims a light and thus
fast six-man aggregation that may
prove too much for State on the
offensive.
The Sieneans have been in con-
stant practice for the last week
shifting their positions on the line
and backfield and looking for the
most power they can muster.
Siena is outweighed on the aver-
age by State but what they lack in
the weight department they hope
to make up in speed and aggressive-
ness.
Hansen, Screnson, Inglis, Brophy,
Koblenz, and Bolles will provide ad-
ditionul material for the State six.
All of State's strength is being re-
cruited from the intramural league
ranks,
As this is being written all indica-
tions point to a close battle with
State slightly favored.
Attendance figures are estimated
to reach five hundred cheering fans.

MAA Sponsors Sister-Class
Tilt On Page Field Today
Page Field todey will be the
scene of a sister-class rivalry
game that will feature the com-
bined talents of ‘48 and ’'46
against the strength of ‘45 and
‘41,
The gridiron still smoldering
with the memories of Monday's
Frosh-Soph rivalry tilt, (Yes, the
Sophs won 6-0) promises to ex-
hibit one of M.A.A.s outstanding
events of the year in this game.
The '48 and 46 combine has
been designated at Team 1 and
the '45 and ’47’ers as Team 2,
Team 1 will no doubt have a
much lighter but shiftier team
and will have to resort almost
totally on their passing talent.
Team 2 will outweigh Team 1
nearly 50 lbs, per man and as a
result will have both passing and
running power at its use.

D&A to Present
Famous Mimic
Friday, Page Hall
Ruth Draper To Portray
Variety Of Sketches
Dramatics and Arts Council, head-
ed by Martha Sprenger, '45, will
present Ruth Draper, the “electrify-
ing mistress of the monologue,” to-
morrow evening at 8:30 P.M. in the
Page Hall auditorium.
On January 20, 1920, she gave her
initial performance on the stage of
the Aeolian Hall in London. She
trouped throughout England and
Scotland that year, doing recitals and
headlining on variety programs. She
appeared on one bill preceded by a
tame sea-lion act, and often recalls
her cue on that particular occasion:
it consisted of the soft padding of a
seal's feet by her dressing room door.
After her successful English debut,
she went on to conquer new worlds.
Ruth Draper
Miss Draper, _ internationally
known for her solo-dramas is now
on tour of the United States after {
appearing in North and South Amer-
ca and Europe. In May of 1940, she \\
played South America, adding one
performance to her regular schedule
for the benefit of the Red Cross.
Returning to the U. S., she made
joint appearance for two weeks with
her famous dancer nephew, Paul
Draper, in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Washington, and
cities.
‘This unique artist has been termed
a monologist, reciter, diseuse, im-
personator, and even an elocutionist,
but she prefers to be known as a
character actress, Her repertoire
includes 57 characterizations and her
dialects include French, Spanish,
Italian, German, Scandanavian,
Egyptian, and Japanese. All of Miss
Draper's sketches are her own crea-
tious, a few taken from actual ex-
periences, but most of them drawn
from her intentive understanding
and observation of people—an un-
conscious record ofi mpressions of
types and locale.
No one who has seen her can
forget her Opening « Basaur, Three

State Convocation To Bring
‘The Pause That Refreshes'
Teachers meet in Albany!
Shake out the welcome mats! On
‘Thursday and Friday, October 15
and 16, N.Y.S.T.C. will be host to
hordes of teachers from all over
the state.
In honor of their arrival, and
due to the fact that many teach-
ers and students expressed a de-
sire to attend the conferences, the
administration has announced
that classes will not meet during
the convention.
This may be sad news to the
student who already has done his
assignment for Thursday and Fri-
day, but to the rest, it will prove
a refreshing “pause from the
semester's occupations.”
