LIBRARY STATE COLLEGE FOR T F * ALBANY. N. V. STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY^ OCTQME 6,1944 P48*« Sophomores Triumph 7-0 In Rough Rivalry Game Weber Stars for '47, Scores on Interception Dy Joan Hylind The prophets of doom, who last week were eulogizing over the "dead" class of '48, can put the sack-cloth and ashes away in mothballs for the duration. From the huse numbers of frosh who turned out for the Rivalry football game, we'd say that obituaries were a bit premature. If you have no spirit you don't sit on the damp grass while the cold October winds have their way with your coiffure just to cheer your team on. You don't shout at the top of your lungs for a solid hour. You don't make up cheers and send three of your peppiest member out to lead them. You don't walk away from a defeat saying, "They won this time, but NEXT time . . . " 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 contest of the year. Hard running, sloppy but vicious blocking, intercepted 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 before being tagged. From this point on the game settled into a quiet slugfest that furnished plenty of action, but no scores until the third period when the Sophs manufactured their only score of the game. Mid-way through the second period 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 because 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. It's unfair to judge' the frosh on their performance during the first few weeks of school. They have no organized leadership. Getting acquainted, 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 invariably decides that unorganized Rivalry has gone far enough. Numerous 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 accepted, inevitlble lot of the frosh president.

State Favored To Defeat Siena In Tilt Sunday An inexperienced, raw but favored State College touch-tackle team will face an invading Siena College juggernaut this coming Sunday at Beaverwyck Park. State is accepting a Siena challenge. Each team will have six men. The men of State have been trying to mold a heavy and powerful team to doom the boys from Siena. State will go Into Sunday's fray minus the passing arm of Bob Dickinson 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 department. "Sparky" Vaughn, shifty and light, may start In the backfield along with Weber on the offensive. Dave Lehman and Ray Cacuzzi will probably occupy the other line posts. Thus State meets Siena with a hodge-podge of material, inexperienced 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 constant 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 average by State but what they lack in the weight department they hope to make up in speed and aggressiveness. Hansen, Screnson, Inglis, Brophy, Koblenz, and Bolles will provide additional material for the State six. All of State's strength is being recruited from the intramural league ranks. As this Is being written all indications point to a close battle with State slightly favored. Attendance figures are estimated to reach five hundred cheering fans. &A1 MAA Sponsors Sister-ClassTennis Tilt On Page Field Today Page Field todey will be the scene of a sister-class rivalry game that will feature the combined talents of '48 and '46 against the strength of '45 and '47. The gridiron still smoldering with the memories of Monday's Frosh-Soph rivalry tilt, (Yes, the Sophs won 6-0) promises to exhibit one of M.A.A.S outstanding events of the year in this game. The '48 and 48 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 en 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. Life Saving Takes Spotlight Life-saving claims a prominent place on the fall sports program. These classes are scheduled to be held every Monday evening at seven P.M. at the Jewish Health Center on Washington Ave., under the direction of Nat Bullock. Tourney < In Second Round The women's tennis tournament began last week and is now in full swing. All the first round matches were to be completed by last Monday and according to the schedule this has been accomplished. Favorable weather has aided in getting, the first round under way .without any postponements. As a result of the matches, we find several veterans of the sport emerging victoriously. Flo Garfall won over Pat Tllden; Jo Simon over Orson Lawson; Virginia Effley d e feated Molly Cramer; Rose Devine tost to Mary Now, while Adrienne Iorio forfeited a game to Peg Bostwlck, Eileen Shoup, Alice Williams, Jane Williams, Betty Rose Hilt, and Bernice Cohen lost to Betty Brewster, Geraldine Callahan, Peg Schlott, Doris Egerton and Mary Bess Vernoy respectively. The second round should prove to be a very exciting one as several hardened proponents of the sport are slated to oppose each other' on the court. Among these will be Bostwick and Brewster, Schlott and Now, and Garfall and Simon. To obtain WAA credit for tennis four supervised hours and six unsupervised hours are required.

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 BUYMOREAM MOM ffliMBOWS! WSS 7.r>7 A V. S.

XXIX NO. 5 Crowning Of Campus Queen To Be Main Event Tomorrow State Convocation To Bring 'The Pause That Refreshes' Teachers meet in Albany! Shake out the welcome mats I On Thursday and Friday, October 15 and 16, N.Y.S.T.O. will be host to hordes of teachers from all over the state. In honor of their arrival, and due to the fact that many teachers and students expressed a desire 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 Friday, but to the rest, it will prove a refreshing "pause from the semester's occupations." Sophs vs Frosh In Rivalry Contest Banner Hunt Featured In Campus Day Program Nelson Names Second Semester Honor Students Campus Queen Coronation will be the main event of the 24th annual Campus Day tomorrow. The queen will be elected today by Student Association from the five candidates nominated in last week's Assembly. The contenders are, Florence Garfall, Mary Now, Dorothea Smith, Joan Smith and Martha Sprenger. Campus Day activities will begin tomorrow at 10 A.M. with the women's rivalry sports, and the men's events will start at 11 o'clock. There will be six races in the women's division, shoe race, sack race, threelegged race, relay race, old-clothes race, and a blindfold race, each counting one-half point. The men's events will consist of three phases of football, accuracy and distance passing, and place kicking. Each event will earn one point for the winning team toward the rivalry score. The sports events will be directed by Betty Ann Margot and Bert Pike, Sophomores, and Rita Schapiro, '48. Betty Jane Bittner and Eugene McCarthy, Sophomores, and James Brophy, '48, will be in charge of the Banner Hunt, which will be held from 12:30 to 5:30 P.M. Banners must be hidden by the morning of Campus Day someplace in the college buildings, with the exception of the executive offices, lockers, and other areas designated by Student Council. The hunt tomorrow ends at 5:30 P.M., but the banner must be kept until the midnight preceeding Moving-Up Dap in order to win the five points. The evening events will begin at 8 P. M. with the crowning of the Campus Queen in Page Hall. The queen will be elected in assembly today, but the results will not be announced until tomorrow night. The queen will be attended by two Seniors, two Juniors, two freshmen, and two pages from the Sophomore classes. There will also be two ushers from each class. The queen will be crowned by Pvt. Patricia Latimer, WAC, who was last year's queen. Following this, the Sophomore and freshman skits will be presented. Helen Slack, '46, is censor and general adviser for the skits. The Sophomore skit was planned by James Conley, Pat Kearney and Lillian Kunicka. Elaine Navy, '48, is general chairman of the freshman show. There will be dancing in the gym after the skits until 11:30 P.M. at which time the Campus Day cup will be awarded. Dr. Milton G. Nelson, Dean of the College, has released the Dean's List for the second semester, 1943-1944.

After years of ranting and worrying, words deploring lack of class and school spirit are dead words. Such an apathy hurts a college, but the injury is a superficial one, and can leave the school unscarred when life is resumed. There is another lack of spirit that is far worse— for it is more than skin deep. It is strong enough to kill. This is the lack of interest in everything that has been mounting in State for several years and that threatens to reach an all-time high this year. State College has fine facilities for extra-curricular activities. The raw material is supposedly of the highest possible calibre, for State has always possessed among its student body the most intelligent and capable leaders of high schools from all over the state. Motivation is obviously strong— high school teachers' are expected to direct school plays, supervise student newspapers and coach debating teams. Besides these, there is the natural desire of any red-blooded youth to be an intimate part of some major college activity. There are your cards, State students — within your grasp you hold what is reverently known to bridge devotees as a slam. Let's see what your plays have been so far. . . . Last year Debate Council after a period of hibernation awoke. Nearby colleges were contacted. Several debates were scheduled and taken-off, Interest began to rise. The natural result should have been a well-trained, fast-operating varsity, with enthusiastic and hard-working squads to back them up. Instead, Debate Council is imminently near last year's low. The cause does not necessarily lie with the leaders. Within the Sophomore and freshman classes must rest a good deal of speaking and oratorical talent—but debating means' work and effort and a little time. Last month AD plunged to its death amid great gnashing of teeth and loud wailing. The future of dramatics in State threatened to follow the deprcssionistic career of debating—but it was saved, temporarily at least, by a group of drama lovers. A Dramatics Club, a completely student project, was organized and is now planning semi-annual plays and regular work in the field of stage-craft, acting, and other fields of the drama. All one can say to this infant group is "Hang on—State needs y o u ! " Old-timers returning to State stare with dismay at the P.O.—where a blanket of silence seems to smother activity; at the Commons — where one couple is dancing, and one group playing bridge, and where there are numerous vacant places. Last year's Primer was a living example ot the result of this indifference. In a college where would-be writers abound, little material was handed in and the quality of the material that was printed was in some cases shamefully poor, It could only be due to laziness and lack of interest. The defense cry thus far has been " T h e men are gone." For years, women have battled for equal rights. Equal rights take with them the responsibility of equal duties. If the women of State cannot take up college life and activity and make the machinery click as well as it did when there were men around, then State's women deserve to be relegated to the cloistered existence of the presuffrage female. CommunicationsTo The Editor: "All unorganized rivalry will henceforth be prohibited." This caused a great deal of excitement and difference of opinion in the freshman class. We have undertaken to review some of the opinions, both pro and con. Some of us think rivalry is wonderful because it gives real spirit to the college. When we first came to State, it seemed practically the same es high school. After one or two evenings of rivalry, such as we had at the dorms, college took on a new light. The sophomores, of course, wire much more experienced in rivalry than we, but it didn't take long for us poor, weak frosh to learn. We supporters of rivalry also think Us a, bushel of fun. It's one sure way oi' meeting those classmates of ours and sticking together with them. We feel its a shame to deny us the fun former classes have had. Its loads of fun parading up the street shouting at the top of our lungs trying to drown out the Sophs and meeting in our rooms to plan a new surprise attack on our rivals. Harmless informal rivalry can do more good than harm, in our opinion. It can rouse up our class spirit and make us live college outside of the buildings. We who oppose unorganized rivalry say this: just imagine yourselves in our position. We walk home from school trying to figure out how we are ever going to complete the assignments due the following day. When we get there, we are greeted by finding all our clothes piled in the middle of the floor, both closets and bureaus empty.

"I hate "These boys' rolling days are done. to mention it" says this Representative, "but I saw The town they took so 'easily' was an official English statement that the British are the last town they'll ever see.

One might call it a study in contrasts. Nazis handed us Troyes." We should like to present only one more analogy. In the last section of the paper is an article with the headline, "64 Plants Menaced by Strike Talk." Says the article, "Officials of the Mechanics Educational Society of America (independent) stood firm today on their threat to tie up 64 war plants in Ohio, Michigan and New Jersey." Mr. Patterson sent a telegram to the effect that "the government of the United States will not be coerced by any group, nor will it allow any group to place the lives of our fighting men overseas in additional peril." Another article states that "company officials and union representatives are scheduled to confer with federal and state conciliators and U. S. Navy officers today in an attempt to settle the two-day strike of nearly 4,000 workers at the Bethlehem Steel Company's Pore River Shipyard." And right across the page is a story, exactly the same length commenting that "American soldiers have largely ceased speculating about the end of the war in Europe. . . 'They're too busy fighting'." While schools are urged to hold V-E Dny services the Yanks unanimous opinion was that "there was hard fighting ahead." While United States citizens sit glued to their radios waiting for the latest report on the European fight, the future leaders of the "new world," which is to evolve from this struggle, plot for their countries and for themselves, seeing new vistas of power and conquest for the leaders with vision. The theory that war was lost because a general decided to take a bath may bo a little far-fetched but it is only too little recognized the importance of seemingly unrelated and unimportant events. They are the weather-vane which has ceased to predict accurately, put out of service by a gale which has threatened to exterminate the world. in Q9 Sakatcdkl J. It is unfortunate that civilians see little of the news as it is handed out to the GIs overseas. We can turn twenty-four pages every morning, choose the stories we prefer to read, read an editor's ideas and speculations, and we know what's going on. Still we miss much of the battle's heat, the seriousness, the drama that is squeezed into two or four pages of a serviceman's news. There's little room to waste a pleasantry like "slight resistance" or smile upon pounding a city till the enemy shouts surrender. The last week of September, The Stars awl Stripes ran an editorial around a picture for the Armed Forces in the European Theater to read. The theme was not a new one nor the picture a masterpiece of horror. But there is poignancy and a message. The GIs needed such a reminder much less than we; a similar scene belonged to their experiences and they kept the words inside themselves . . . Beside a narrow road in trampled grass are the bodies of three soldiers, left behind but remembered.

The game between the Senior and" Junior girls last Tuesday ended in a 4-0 victory for '45, maintaining the undefeated record of the class in that sport. The game was not as exciting as others in the past have been. This, however, can be attributed to the general lack of practice on both sides. The skillful playing of Duffy and Winyall was the deciding factor in bringing victory to the Seniors. These two girls were always there to take the ball down the field. At times the action was fast and rough, exhibiting some of the old rivalry spirit. But, for the most part it was slow. In a practice game held last Wednesday, the Sophomore girls defeated the Frosh in hockey. WAA urges that all freshmen who can play come out for practice. The rivalry game is coming up soon and pr.-ctice is essential. Ths WAA tennis tourney had an active week, with the players moving into the semi-finals. The weather, continues favorable. Virginia Effley, captain, expresses hope that the tournament will be finished. wmw WORRIES FORMER ALL-AMERICAN, AND0ME0FTHESREAF EST BACKS WHO EVER CARRIED * r < j v THE BALL FOR THE NAVW •*-7-v7 W&t'.-• NOW A LIEUTENANT IN THE NAVAL AIR FCr:E,BORRlES DOWNED TWO JAP ZEROS IN HIS FIRSTS MINUTES OF FLYING ACTION.' •,••• X I.:.-: • * * > . , .
