MICHAEL'S SATURDAY Meets Union December 11 JOHN DRINKWATER TO FRANCOIS POLLET — STATE COLLEGE'S LECTURE PROTEGE During the war, State College organized and maintained an active Red Cross chapter, A contribution of $194.58 was made to the college chapter by individual subscribers and the following organizations, late in 1918: Pedagogue Board, Class of 1918; Dramatics Class, and Spanish Club. Miss Mildred Carsvvcll, '18, who was the chairman of this organization, authorized, with the approval of other members, that $73 of this balance be sent to " The Fatherless Children of France, Inc." for the adoption of two orphans, and Miss Charlotte C. Loeb, head of the French department, was made the custodian of the correspondence between the child. 2ii and the college. The •balance of the fund, $121.58, has just been sent to renew the subscription. It is of interest to know that the orphans are a little hoy and girl each 11 years old, They are Marie Jacob and Francois Pollet. A small photograph of our little protege is shown above. The letters which have come to us from the children have shown how much the help was needed and how deeply the friendship of the ".god-parent " was appreciated. Below arc translated a few passages from letters received which will emphasize the great need and the spirit of gratitude, (Sept. 9, 1920)—" I have just received the check which you were kind enough to send me and I want to thank you most sincerely for your great kindness. We have just returned to our devastated city. If you could but imagine how sad it all is. There isn't a house left. All has been completely destroyed.

Presented by Dramatic and Art Association Through the efforts of the Dramatics and Arts Council John Drinkwatcr is coming to State College and Dr. Clarke is to be presented in student assembly on December 3. Dr. Clarice is going to show us the advantages of the Historical and Art Society from a student's viewpoint. This year the Dramatics and Arts Council has adopted the old maxim of "quality versus quantity." That is, the council of 1920 aims to concentrate their resources on the procuring of a few really noted authorities in this field of art rather than to present a larger number of less influential lecturers. The faculty members of this year's council arc as follows: Miss Futtcrer, Miss Ferine, and Miss Murray. The officers of the council of 1920 are: Miss Gladys Thompson, president; Miss Marion Hunter, secretary; and Miss Edith VVeathcrwax, treasurer, The other members of the council arc: Miss Myfawny Williams, Miss Agnes Smith, and Miss Grace Fox. From time to time the members of this council intend to ask various members of the student body to cooperate with them, So, let us always remember who the members of the council are, and let us determine to give them the assistance of the whole student body, if the occasion demands it. St. Michael's To Meet State Saturday Purple and Gold to Oppose Strong Team State opens her basketball season Saturday, December 4, when the Varsity meets St. Michael's on the Albany High court. From all reports the Vermonters have a strong aggregation of basket tossers, and this opening game will be well worth seeing from all standpoints. Coach Suavely has had the squad out for some still training every night, Passwork is better handled, and She men are not depending so much on dribbling. These things make the prospects of victory bright in spite of the fact thai, several of the men have missed practice because of illness, and Baker will be entirely out of the game for some time because of an injury to his knee sustained in an interclass football game. The following Saturday the Purple and Gold will tackle Union at Schenectady. Plans are under way now to charter cars so that State College students can attend this game in a body. LAW SCHOOL PLAYS ST. MICHAEL'S FRIDAY OFFICIAL CALENDAR Friday evening, December 3, the Law School quintet will open their season with St. Michael's. The game will be played on the Albany High court, " M a r t y " Barry, ex-'21, who was a star forward on the State College team for tvyo years and who is well known in basketball circles, is coaching the Law School live. The team is composed of men who have won athletic honor in high school or college, and a good game is predicted. On tilic following night St. Michael's will play State College. MUSIC OF THE POLISH PEOPLE ALL OUT FOR COLLEGE NIGHT Be sure and remember" All College Night," Friday evening of this week, All plans are working out successfully and everything points to an interesting evening. Of course you are all coming! Bring your college spirit, your class spirit and your supply of songs and cheers. Come and have a good time! DR. CLARKE IN STUDENT ASSEMBLY Dr. Clarke, the president of the Historical and Art Society of Albany and the director of the State Museum of Natural History, will speak in student assembly on December 3. He will show the advantages of the Historical and Art Society from a student's viewpoint, In the auditorium on Wednesday evening, December 1, a concert was given in connection with the extension course treating with " Immigrant Backgrounds and Homelands" which is under the direction of Dr. De Porte. This concert was a coordinate with the previous musical given by the Russian choir of St. Basil's Church. However, this concert dealt exclusively with the music of the Polish people. The cooperation of the " Echo" Polish Choral Society of Schenectady, which is under the direction of Stanislaus Kosinski, was secured. The program included the Polish national anthem, selections from the Polish opera " H a l k a " by Moniuszko, piano solos, and several Polish folksongs. The Polish national dance was_effective in bringing to our attention the customs of a foreign country. Such a concert is not alone of value to students of music, as it Helps the Americanization campaign by creating sympathy on the part of Americans for | the ideals of foreign countries.'

State," was clipped from the " Knickerbocker Press ": " The value of a good coach who turns out good football teams was never more plainly to be seen than in the case of Peun State College and Hugo Bczdck, Penn State has had more applications from prospective students for the term Whichf begins in September of 1921, than in any previous year of its history. And strange to. relate, Penn State has no organization of former students to bolster attendance. - "Athletes from all of the leading high schools of the east have shown a preference for Penn State College, and apparently for no other reason than that Penn State turns put a first class grid machine coached by a past master. The enrollment for Penn State in September of next year promises to he the 'greatest the school ever had. Does winning football pay?" - In this article a proposition is set forth which is applicable not only to Penn State and football but to all colleges and all college sports, Do college athletics pay? Undoubtedly they do, for they are one of the best possible advertisements. Not only do they attract athletes, but-men who have never taken a very active part in sports or, even further, in the case of co-ed institutions,'girls like to go to a college where athletics ' have a prominent place, f o r t h e y form the nucleus about which college spirit and loyalty arc built up, Penn State, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Colgate, and other institutions realize this and they all have their special ways for letting the world know about their activities in this field. . Now N«w York State College has started a campaign for more wen next year. In connection with this campaign an athletic (bulletin lias been planned. This bulletin <Will he sent' to high schools throughout the Staite in order to advertise State College. Would it not also be wise to take another step along this same line? Why not have an athletic press agent? This could be provided for in much the same manner as the office of cheer leader. The holder of ithis office or his assistants would make alt trips with, teams, and he would be entitled to a minor " S . " . His functions would ibe to co-operate with the daily papers and the "News" in publishing all sporting items of interest. The need for such an office can readily be seen. This year there was an Intcrclass Basketball League, How many of the games were given to the'daily papers? This year also there was a well played football match between the upper classmen and (the lower classmen. Was there any mention of that in the daily papers? Varsity basketball practice has started, a captain has been elected, and the first game comes next Saturday night, What has been done to let people know about these events? Colgate, Union, and the Law School have already started to advertise basketball. Who is to blame? Certainly (he daily papers arc not to blame? They cannot be expected to publish these things unless State College takes some pains to keep them informed in regard to them. The Albany papers have always had a good deal of civic pride, and Stale College is a part of Albany. They have always given space to State College athletic news, and there is every reason to think that they will continue to do so if we co-opcrae with them and bring them items of interest, So the blame clearly rests with State College, ' But still it is not possible to pick out any particular individual and say that he is at fault. The fact is that there is no one whom we can hold responsible for neglcot to advertise State College events. H we intend to get those men next year, it. seems as though one of the first things for us to do is to remedy this situation, ATTEND THE UNION GAME A week from Saturday State plays Union at Schenectady._ As 'has been the custom in previous years, special cars will 'be chartered in order to take the State College rooters over in a body. Here is a chance for everyone to show that he is 'back of the team. The expense will not be great, but the confidence which will he given the team, if there is a good cheering section, will help them to win this game. So everybody sign up for this trip. PLEASANT SUNDAY AFTERNOON The Red Room, the Green Room and Dr, Brubachcr's office will be open to all women students Sunday afternoon from two till nine, Magazines and writing material!, will be provided for all who wish them, and refreshments will be served. At four there will be a vesper service in room 111. If you have the blties or that homesick feeling forget them, and come out.

HARVARD-PRINCETON TIE LEAVES QUESTION OF SUPREMACY ON GRIDIRON UNSOLVED New York, Nov. 29.—The close of the eastern college football season finds Ihi' task- of selecting a championship eleven more complicated than usual. In past years it has frequently been the ease that one varsity team, with a remarkable record at its back, stood out so prominently that was the choice for titular honors among a large majority of the gridiiv ti experts; Such a situation does not exist at the termination of the 1920 play. Six college or university elevens passed through the season without defeat, but in the case of live of these teams thcrccord was marred by one or more tic games. Boston college is the only one which has an absolutely clean slate to date and that team still has one game to play, being scheduled to meet the strong 'Holy Cross eleven next Saturday. Harvard, Princeton, Pittsburgh, Penn State and Stevens all closed their schedules undefeated, but the tic contest between Princeton and Harvard loft the question of supremacy unsolved, Penn Stale played tic games with Pittsburgh and Lehigh; Pittsburgh was lied by Syracuse and Penn State, while Middlcbury held Stevens to a scoreless tie. While comparative scores and camparison of individual games is a futile means of arriving at the strongest team in any section, it can be safely stated that !f a championship team were to be selected it would be found among the combinations enumerated. A second group, but thinly separated from the first division, would naturally include Dartmouth, Syracuse, Navy, Army, Brown, Holy Cross, Lebigh, Williams and Yale. Weather conditions, the physical, and mental, status of the players and other surroundings, which have a direct bearing upon each contest of the season, make a definite selection almost impossible, if justice is to be done to all teams, An analysis of the records of the various college elevens of the e.ast develops some interesting Page Three and confusing data. The West Point cadet team, although defeated by the Navy and Notre Dame, managed to roll up an aggregate score of. 314 points which, so far as scoring is concerned, gives the Army first place itii the section totals. Williams, with Benny Boynton, the star individual scorer of the cast, is next in line with a total of 312 points, although defeated in three out of the eight games played. These are the only combinations to cross the 300 mark. Penn. State and Cornell are third and 'fourth respectively with 2S9 and 231, From a defensive standpoint; Boston college appears to hold the palm as Coach Cayanaugh's gridiron pupils held their opponents to a total of sixteen points, of which Yale made thirteen and Marietta the remaining three, Syracuse was next, with a law opponent score, of twenty-seven while Harvard was a close third, with but twenty-eight points scored against it. The records of the larger institutions of the east, showing the number of games won, lost and lied; total points scored by home team opponents, as well as the name of the leading individual scorer for each eleven, follows: l-raiiuiK COIICRO Scorer Harvard, U n w e l l . .
