VARSITY " A " CLUB BRANCHES OUT Organize Publicity Bureau
OPEN CONCERTED CAMPAIGN SOON
The 'Varsity "A" Club, an organiza- tion which has been perfected during the past year, one which forms an honorary club for men who have earn- ed their letters and which has for its object, the accomplishment of cleaner athletics, more extended Alfred ad- vertising and the furthering of the very best athletic spirit here in the University, is in the midst of prep- arations for a concerted drive which will undoubtedly result in the fulfill- ment of its purpose . An explanation of the program as planned by the club will show, to an extent, the spirit underlying its organization and should spread its enthusiasm to every stu- dent on the campus to the end of se- curing a most whole-hearted co-oper- ation. This outline, by the way, represents only one distinct phase of the duties of the "A" Club. A pub- licity bureau has been formed, which will issue at least eight pamphlets a year containing concentrated discus- sions of topics of athletic interest to High School students, such as the rudimentary elements of football, basketball, track and cross country.
"Doc" Ferguson, coach of track and cross country, is editor-in-chief of these publications.
Another department of the work, and one which will bring the coaches and athletes of the various sports of A. U. into personal contact with pros- pective Alfred men, is the Public Speaking Bureau. This group of men, with Orray Fraser as chairman, will arrange to send representatives of
•any one of the five sports under con- sideration to any High School within a radius of one hundred miles, to give
•the prep school men first-hand infor- mation in whichever of these branches of athletics they may be interested.
These representatives will not only deliver their lectures but .will also
"get their stuff across" by actual demonstrations. It should be under- stood that the prime purpose of this campaign is not for advertising but for instilling into embryo athletes a
•desire for clean sport.
The first two of the series of pamphlets were printed last year, one introducing Alfred University's ath- letic^ and the other in connection
"with the Interscholastic Cross Country Continual ou page two

"Doc" Introduces Series of Talks
STUDENTS BACK TEAM TO LIMIT
Showing no slump in the "Old Col- lege Spirit" nearly every student in the University crowded into Kenyon Hall last Thursday evening to give the team a rousing send-off for its stiff fight against Bucknell.
Prof. Seidlin spoke briefly and en- couragingly in his usual whimsical vein, arousing some fine enthusiasm.
"Doc" Ferguson, the main speaker of the evening, dwelt .on "The Stu dents' Problem With Athletics." He made the statement that athletics are not for fiijst teams alone but for every student in college; and that the amount of spirit and "pep" that the individual backers put into athletics is the exact amount the teams will show when playing the game.
McMahon '23, coach of the Fresh- man football team, and "Bill" Navin '25, captain of the cross country team, roused gales of laughter but concluded their talks with serious remarks on Alfred's problems.
PRES. DAVIS DELIVERS AN- NUAL ASSEMBLY AD-
DRESS
Commends Student Body on Past Co-operation
FIREMENS HALL TO BE SCENE OF WEEKLY GATHERING
At assembly last Wednesday morn- ing President Davis delivered his an- nual opening address in the form of a review of the past year's accomplish- ments and the hopeful outlook for the present year.
"This," he said, "the eighty-eighth year of Alfred's career, has auspicious- ly begun with the largest total, larg- est freshman and largest senior classes since her founding. It has been un- decided whether to accept the board's suggestion that the registration be limited to 300. To date, the present enrollment is about 335. The only limit seems to be the ability of the buildings to adequately care for the students.
An assembly hall and gymnasium are the most urgent needs but Fire- mens Hall has been donated for the use of college assemblies and this dif- ficulty thereby temporarily remidied."
Pres. Davis spoke of the honor done Alfred and former dean Titsworth by his selection as president of Washing- ton College also of Alfred's official placement in the list of standard A class colleges.
The splendid co-operation of the stu- dents with the student senate and fac- ulty was especially commended and I a future like-attitude was earnestly requested.

COACH FERGUSON'S MEN FACE SYRACUSE National Championship Within
Reach
CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD IN READINESS FOR COMING
ORDEAL
Alfredl's great oppoi^unity ,comes next Saturday when the Purple Cross Country team meets Syracuse, last year's intercollegiate champions, at Syracuse. A victory over them will place Alfred above all other colleges in that sport and even a defeat by a close score will give her heretofore unattainable prestige. But then, no one in Alfred is expecting a defeat and all eyes are looking for but one thing—victory.
With "Doc" Ferguson out of town with the football team on last Friday there were no time trials but the men practiced as usual under Captain Na- vin. Secret football practice this week forestalls "Doc's plan of holding an exhibition run on Wednesday. But
"Doc" seems confident that only an accident will prevent the Purple har- riers from coming home with the col- legiate championship over their shoulders.
But little is known of the individual members of the Syracuse team, but that as a whole it is the best in the country there is no doubt. It is up to Alfred to displace them. She can do it with the support of every stu- dent in the college and that the team has this support, it can feel assured.
That the confidence of the students is not misplaced will be shown when the team shows its heels to the Syra- cuse runners next Saturday.
BUCKNELL SCORES TRIUMPH OVER A. U.
Weight Does the Trick OPPONENTS HEAVILY PENALIZED
Facing superior weight, the Alfred team went down to defeat at the hands of Bucknell at Lewisburg, last Satur- day, Oct. 6, by the overwhelming score of 47-0 which was a touch down more than last year's score. In spite of the fact that the purple and gold held Colgate to a small score two weeks ago, they failed to live up to the standard established at that time.
Alfred made but two first downs against the heavier team, one on a forward pass and one as a result of an end run by L. McConnell. The Buck- nell team was held for downs at two different times and lost the ball on fumbles, which were costly coming at the time. The game was marked by penalties against Bucknell while Alfred had none called against her.
Game by quarters:
The game started with Afred kick-!
ing toward the west goal to the Blue and Gold's 5 yard.line. The ball was carried back to the 20 yard mark from which Bucknell made two first downs and then were forced to punt.
Alfred punted in turn, Bucknell re- ceiving • the ball on the Purple's 55 yard line. After making 3 first downs, Jenkins, full back of the opposing team, carried the ball over the goal for the first touchdown of the game.
The try for the extra point failed.
The Bucknell team chose to kick and Alfred received the ball on their own goal line. From here they were forced to punt, advancing the ball to the center of the'field. In spite of a 15 yard penalty the Blue and Gold advanced to Alfred's 2 yard line from which, after several tries, Hall carried
the ball over for the second score.
Jenkins this time made the additional point.
The game started with Alfred kick- ing, and Bucknell after making two first downs were forced to give the ball to Alfred. The quarter ended with Alfred in possession of the ball on their own 30 yard line.
Second quarter:
Failing to gain ground Gardner punted to Bucknell's 30 yard line.
Here the Pennsylvania eleven again began their goalward march and by means of forward passes crossed the Alfred goal line again. Henning drop- kicked for the extra point.
Alfred received the ball and ran It back to their 30 yard mark. A poor punt gave Bucknell the ball on the Purple's 45 yard line and after mak- ing one first down, the opponents fumbled the ball and D. McConnell re- covered it. Again Alfred failed to make their yardage and punted. The Blue and Gold took the ball on A.
U.'s 35 yard line, advanced it to the 5 yard mark and Hall carried the ball over. Henning again dropkicked the goal.
Bucknell kicked, the ball being downed on Alfred's 15 yard mark. L.
McConnell carried the ball 15 yards making one first down. Then an in- tercepted pass gave Bucknell the ball again. As a result of two completed forward passes, Johnson carried the oval across for another score. A completed forward pass gave B. U.
the extra point.

ALFRED TO BATTLE OLD RIVAL
Purple Warriors Out for St. Bonaventure's Scalp
TEAM HANDICAPPED BY INJURIES
The next game listed on Alfred Uni- versity's schedule for this year, and probably one of the most exciting con- flicts of the season, will take place on October 13, when the Varsity en- gages its old rival, St. Bonavent.ure, on the Forness Field at Olean. Fol- lowing last Saturday's defeat at the hands of Bucknell, the squad will put in a strenuous week of training in preparation for the coming event.
Last year, St. Bonaventure won over over the Purple and Gold by a one- point margin in a hard fought battle on the home field. This year, the eleven is determined to redeem itself and then some.
The fact that A. U.'s old opponents defeated Hamilton in a 19-7 score last week indicates that they will put up a lively opposition and all realize that when the shadow of the pigskin falls upon their goal posts the Purple grid- sters will have well earned their vic- tory. Lucca, who played end last season, now manages the team from the position of quarter and does it well. Green, St. Bona's left half back, made two of the touchdowns in the Hamilton game and proved to be a valuable ground gainer. .Last year's full back, McAndrews, will punt for the opposing eleven and all who saw
him perform here will agree that he can "deliver the goods."
Due to injuries received at the Buck- nell game, it is doubtful whether D.
McConnell, E. Campbell, Witter and Chamberlain will start the game. The line-up given is merely tentative and depends upon the rapidity with which the men recover from injuries which, at present, are more or less serious.

DIRECTOR BINNS DISCUSSES CERAMIC VOCATIONS IN
FACULTY MEETING Engineering Problems Outlined
In a University Faculty meeting last Tuesday evening, October 2, at the home of President Davis, Director Binns; delivered an instructive and comprehensive lecture on the subject,
"Ceramics As a Vocation." At a time when the Ceramic Engineering and Ceramic Art courses play so large and important a part of the University schedule, this discussion was of de- cided value.
By way of explanation, the speaker introduced his remarks by giving a definition of the term, "Ceramics."
"Keramos," he stated, "is an old Greek word whose original meaning has been traced back to a Sanskrit root meaning burned stuff. It first came to be used as referring to pottery but now applies to all substances built up of earthy material and made ser- viceable by fire." Having answered the first question that may have been asked by any person uninformed in Ceramics, Prof. Binns launched in- to the details of his subject only an outline of which, will be given here.
Commercial Ceramic products are divided' into the following classes:
Bricks and other structural wares, completely fused substances as glass, other structural material such as lime, Portland cement and plaster, abra- sines, and chemical porcelain. These classifications were further subdivid- ed and a brief outline of methods em- ployed in their manufacture, was given in each case.
For example, bricks may be of many varieties: common for backing up walls, chimneys and all work not re- quiring a well appearing face; face brick which may be either smooth or rough and of almost any desired color;
paving brick for streets and roads;
radial for chimneys and refractory for Continued on page two
BUCKNELL SCORES TRIUMPH OVER A. U.
Continued rrom page one Gardner again kicked off but after one play the half ended with Bucknell in possession of the pigskin on their 10 yard line. Score 34-0.
Third quarter:
Bucknell received the ball and car- ried it back to their 45 yard line.
After advancing to Alfred's 25 yard line, intercepted a forward pass. Again intercepted a forward pass. Again Al- fred failed to gain ground and punted Alfred failed to gain ground and punted to the center of the field. From here Bucknell, by means of passes, again made a score. A dropkick gained the extra point for the Blue and Gold.
Alfred received and advanced 30 yards. Here they punted and lost the ba;ll but regained possession of it when Campbell intercepted a forward pass. They again lost the ball when Foster intercepted a pass. Bucknell made a first down through the line, one by means of a forward pass and the lost the ball when Alfred held on their 20 yard line. Here the quarter ended. Score 41-0.
Fourth quarter:
Alfred was again forced to punt but gained possession of the ball when the Bucknell man failed to catch the punt. After making a first down fol- lowing Alfred's punt, Johnson got away with an end run and ran 40 yards for the final touchdown of the game. The try for point failed.
Bucknell kicked and Alfred ran the ball back to 25 yard line. Here, Buck- nell was penalized 15 yards for clip- ping from the rear. During the re- mainder of the quarter, the ball chang- ed hands several times being in the possession of Alfred when the game ended. Summary:

A list of common ceramic products falling under the other larger classifi- cations, may serve to enlighten those persons who may labor under the de- lusion that bricks are the only pro- ducts included

PRES. DAVIS DELIVERS ANNUAL ASSEMBLY ADDRESS
Continued from page one Pres. Davis particularly stressed the movement which is being agitated throughout the country for more hon- or courses and the system used in England where they are particularly in favor. An honor course is one which allows the student more oppor- tunity for individual efforts in his chosen fieia and excuses him from much preparation that is required.
Reed and Swarthmore colleges lead in the movement for the incorporation of these systems and have strictly in- stalled them to some extent. Alfred has opportunities for honor studies and it is hoped that more students will avail themselves of them.
STUDENT SENATE NOTES The regular meeting erf the Senate
total output of the ceramic plantss of the country closely approximates $350,- 000,000 annually. This includes pro- ducts which may also be considered as pertaining to industrial chemical processes but which overlap into the Ceramic field so as to be closely al- lied with the production of pottery products. A detailed description of each process is impossible here and even a brief resume of methods em- ployed in the finishing of each dis- tinct line of product would become tiresome but a general survey of the average plant conditions and an ex- planation of the most important es- sentials may well be considered. The construction of the plants themselves dtpends largely upon the locality and the prevailing atmospheric conditions.
If in a warm climate, proper housing for raw materials can be arranged with much less expense than in a cold sec- tion where warmth must be provided for. It is needless to say that the kilns themselves must be placed un- der a tight roof. In simpler plants such as those designed for the manu- facture of ordinary bricks the store- house may be merely a rough shed with better accommodations for the machinery. It is also of great ad- vantage, because of the expense of shipping both raw and manufactured materials and fuel, to locate the plant as near the clay beds as possible. The raw materials are delivered either in cars ready for use or are shipped in and stored in readiness for more complicated mixtures than brick.
These clay stuffs must be continual- ly tested and checked to insure a reasonable uniformity in the finished product. The compounding of these mixtures is often done by workmen who have no knowledge at all of the science of the operation but who merely weigh out definite proportions of a designated substance (and per- haps the scales are set and masked), add to it a like amount of another and dump it into a bin. Test processes are worked out in the laboratory and only the managers, engineers and a few trusted employees furnish the brains for the working of the plant.
To give those unfamiliar with manu- facturers' problems, an insight into inner factory machinery, consider the vast number of details and the count- less cog wheelsi which must mesh per- fectly to insure smooth and continu- ous operation and elimination of losses to the greatest extent. Selection and conditioning of materials, compound- ing of formulae, perfection of me- chanical details of power machinery, transportation, heating, lighting, test- ing, and experimenting to say nothing of the actual work of placing the finished articles on the market to- gether with accounting and other office routine all go to show ths great field open for Ceramic Engineers.
SQ far, the discussion has been con- fined almost entirely to the engineer- ing end of the industry but this fact was called to order by Pres. Eaton,
Tuesday, Oct. 2, 1923.

VARSIY "A" CLUB BRANCHES OUT
Continued from pajre one Meet which will take place this month.
The third, now in the process of pub- lication, was written by Thomas C.
Kasper, coach of football and basket- ball and Russell S. Ferguson, the track and cross country coach on the subject of "Football Fundamentals and Conditioning." Coach Kasper, in his section of the booklet, gives concise directions of such essentials as: fall- ing on the ball, picking up the ball, carrying the ball, catching punts, catching forward passes, forward pass- ing, tackling, the offensive lineman and the defensive lineman. "Doc"
sets forth a few "boiled-down" but inclusive and easily understood rules concerning the preliminary condition- ing of the player. These publications are sent to high school principals and coaches and to a mailing list compiled from entrees in last year's interscho- lastic as well as ay others who evince an interest by sending in a written re- quest for a book. In general, the
"propoganda" will be distributed with- in a radius of two hundred miles of Alfred.
The "A" Club is practically in its infancy and yet it has shown by work already accomplished, that its strug- gle for existence will not be in vain.
So far, the student body has not been solicited for aid. However, it is only fair to expect that when such a re- quest is made every man and woman on the registration lists will be glad to boost.

Have you ever, on an October after- noon, turned your steps toward the peak of some distant hill to look down into the beautiful valley that shelters \ your Alma Mater? Have you ever gazed with pride upon the red roofs, under whose protection you have spent many weary hours attempting to discover and fathom the mysteries ; of the nature-world about you, and j compared the scene with any other you have before witnessed? If you have not, you have yet to experience
"one of the greatest pleasures of your life. Scurries of blazing autumn leaves whirled along entirely at the mercy of the breeze. The ground, once green, now strewn with the glossy brown pine needles and the bare boughs above sighing mournfully as some inquisitive red squirrel, startled at your approach, abandons his industry and seeks refuge just above your head. Br'er rabbit, Ms sleek coat already grown noticeably thicker, racing madly past and on down over the brow of the hill lest he become the prey of the prowling hunter. A thousand mysterious little noises which may be rustling leaves, the grating of one dried and wither- ed blackberry stalk over another or a belated furbearer so busily at work behind you supplementing his meagre wiintelj's s'upply thatj, even- though you turn to watch him, he toils on without interruption. As your attention is finally directed far- ther down into the valley where lies the little college town, you marvel that you have not long ago discovered the beaties that have today held you spellbound and as the sun melts into the western horizon you shout in sheer joy at being alive and reluct- antly turn your steps homeward. Have you ever tried it?

Speaking in his usual thoughtful and sympathetic manner, Dean Main ad- dressed this year's first joint meet- ing of the Christian Associations in the underclass parlors of the Brick, last Sunday eveinng. He took for the plan of his talk the initial let- ters of the association's names, arrang- ing them in the order Y. A. C. W. M.
to signify youth, association, Christi- anity, women, men.
The social relations of manhood and womanhood formed the keynote of Dean Main's talk. "May the day never come when men shall cease to realize that women are entitled to certain privileges that are not ac- corded to men," he said.

MiSS SCHEERER'S PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
Galeton High School fought to a score-I less tie in a rather listless encounter! pe n n e r last Friday afternoon on the Alfred!
field. Neither team displayed any | Ainsworth brilliant football and fumbles and off i
sides were frequent. The Frosh fail- ed to show any of the brilliancy which had characterized their practices against the Varsity. Galeton had a I much more concerted driving power I and came within scoring distance on several occasions only to be stopped by the Yearling defense which stif- fened only at such times. The Fresh- men had practically no offensive power and made but few first downs while the Galeton backs made many good gains through the line.
Galeton uncorked several good for- ward passes while the Frosh com- pleted but one which proved of little value as the first half ended immedi- ately afterwards. Perone, '27, made several line bucks through center which gained ground but the ball was lost on some misdirected attack
soon after. Galeton's cross bucks and j been popular on the London and New end runs kept the first year men York stages. Last year his "Loyal- Popular Play of Galsworthy To Be
Read
Miss Maud Scheerer, who is to give a dramatic recital in Alfred, Saturday evening, October 20, will read the gripping tragi-comedy of Galsworthy,
"The Skin Game."
Galsworthy is justly considered by many critics as Enland's foremost liv- ing dramatist. His plays have long
guessing, and only in the shadow of their own goal posts did they show any real football.
For the Frosh, Frank displayed some brilliant defensive work which stopped many a line buck. Perone at quarter made a few good gains but did not run the team in the masterly fashion of the week preceding. Fritz at end and Reinbreck and Rockey at tackles did some good defensive work.

ties" was acclaimed the best play of the season.
"The Skin Game" was produced in New York in 1920-21 and met with equal success. The play depicts the struggle between two families for so- cial supremacy—with the inevitable clash toward the close. Galsworthy is here at his best in working up dra- matic situations. Somewhat less phil- osophical and discursive than some of the playwright's works, "The Skin showed best on the offensive while j Game" is one of his best for holding Kelly at center proved to be a de- an audience.

Miss Scheerer is undoubtedly one of the foremost dramatic readers in the Galeton i country today. To those who heard her in her recital in Alfred two years Heritick ago she needs no recommendation. A circular of her 1920-23 tour contains Purty many] very complimentary remarks about her work of which the follow- Miller ing is typical: "Miss Scheerer's un- usual dramatic ability, with her well- Kelly i nigh fascinating personality, won her audience from the first moment We Lyman

Praise of this type shows that Miss Scheerer is not an ordinary reader,

the suspense no longer I left the side of the ship and inquired why we were detained. To my surprise I learned that prohibition officers had come on board to make sure that no "fire- water" was being smuggled in.
After being detained for an hour, the tug pulled us into mid-stream where under its own power the vessel steamed slowly down the bay past Miss Liberty. My delight was short lived, however, for after a few hours the pilot was found in a paralyzed condition due to too great indulgence in his private stock. During his drunk- en condition he ran the boat on a bar where we were destined to wait until the next morning for the tide to come in and set us free.
Seasickness was to me only for weaklings. However, after the first day, for three days following, I took my place at the rail along with the rest.
The trip became rather monotonous in spite of the many forms of enter- tainment such as movies, games, dancing, etc. It was here that I sum- moned enough courage to try my ability at tripping the light fantastic.
Land in sight! Gee! I was tickled to gaze once more on the good old solid earth.
Our debarkation port was at la Havre. The customs officials search- ed us and examined our passports.
They must have been looking for some good American smokes for they were very careful to see that we had no cigars or tobacco on our persons. This ordeal I escaped easily since I am not addicted to the use of the vile weed.
"Now that we are in Paris, what shall we do?" was the first question that came to my mind. A place to eat and sleep was soon located. Our stay in the French capitol lasted three days, during which time we visited many places of interest. We all de- cided upon the architecture of the buildings and that of the old churches in particular as being the most im- pressive.
School work was a thing of minor interest but since that represented my
Friday.
Last year Belmont did not get into the game until the season was well advanced and yet handicapped as they were by lack of experience and train- ing, they defeated Bolivar and Ulysses.
They are considered in even better playing condition this year and will, no doubt, offer the yearlings a stiff opposition.

more days in "Gay Paree" and here I noticed that chaperonage of the young people was deemed necessary only in the smaller hamlets. Most of the fellows took advantage of this for who can withstand those "meet later eyes" of madamoiselle. An- other comparison which struck me as noteworthy, is the duration of the French dinners. Often times they last three hours and are always inter- spersed with sipping the clear, spark- ling, everpresent wine.
But the saddest tale I have to tell is when I bade my fair farewell. The weather did not deal us so favorable a hand on our return trip and after leaving the mainland, the Chicago rolled and tossed so that we were obliged either to.stay off the deck or hold on to ropes to keep our footing.
Our dishes in the dining hall had to be placed in cages so that we would not be accused of poaching from our neighbor's portion. Seasickness was the scourage of the ship for out of twelve persons there were left only three able to care for the others. This of course made all amusements impos- sible.
The Statue of Liberty meant to me just what she is called and I-was surely glad to take off my hat to her. "TJ. S.
is the place when a feller needs a frien.'" After going through the cus- toms we were set ashore and wended our ways to our respective domiciles.
The trip, as a whole, was one ne'er to be forgotten and its memories shall always remind me that whether or not I learned French, I discovered a treasure.
