Due to Policies, Declares Pollock "The blame of Pennsylvania s losing football team belongs to the policy-makers of the Univer- sity—the top men of the admini- strative offices and the trustees— because they went along with major schedules booked In a pre- vious administration," said Ed Pollock in his Philadelphia Bul- letin Sports column yesterday. Pollock continued, "They don't want to break contracts and I'm not suggesting that they do. In 1930. when the late Thomas S I Gates installed the athletic plan, he talked opponents Into per- mitting the University to fulfill contracts in later seasons after periods of readjustment." Pollock believes that this can still be done for 1955 to stop an- other losing season. They would be able to fit in the postponed games, starting in 1956, during the two open dates that the team carries. "The policy-makers are also to blame," said Pollock, "in they agreed to limited football scholarships at a time when the team faced a strong schedule." Pollock contends that unless something is done, not only will the attendance decrease but the team will get progressively worse. This is because the players will never gain confidence in Steve Sebo's new system unless the system proves itself by the team winning some games. The more they lose the less confidence they will have in their coach and the calibre of their playing will sure- ly suffer.

Smith would have been so generous if she knew that the hooks which -he thought would be honored and made available to the world are to be relegated to an insignificant corner of the campus, and are, aftei a period of inaccessibility, to be made available only in a limited manner and by appointment.

It is too late mm to keep the books where thej always have been, in the Provost's old office. I hat tradition is gone. Hut is it too late for the administration to see to it that the library officials, who are operating Ofl I Starvation budget, and doii. i | job IS possibl] the] can, receive the money they need to emplm a full-time curator who will see to it that the books are properly and at all time-

I ible ' We think that it is not too late. And we think that arrangements should be

made as soon a- possible to provide respectable and dignified housing for the Smith Collection. This we owe to ourselves, to the collection,

and to the Smith family which has been to generous to us.

Just About

THIRTY by Ed Fabricius

Another weekend goes by and Pennsyl- vania chalks up defeat number live. It's

Srettv hard to remember when things have een so bad on Franklin Field before. Those

defeats really can't be blamed on the coaches or players. It's no fun to get out there on that Held every Saturday with the odds slaiked so high against you. We've never heard of Pennsylvania football being at such a low ebb in modern times.

We realise that football is at the cross- roads here but at the rate we're going it's

going to be tough for Pennsyh to compete In the Ivy Group. Yale and Brown who never provided much op,

for Pennsylvania in recent years can no longer be looked at in that light.

The type of defeats that Pennsylvania lieen taking is doing nobody any good

even il we are at the crossroads or in a transition period. It seems like our policy has gone from one extreme to the other. At one time it was "Victory With Honor" and now we're having "Defeat With Honor." Or is it such an honor to get shellacked week- end after weekend?

Tilings don't look much brighter for next season either. It's going to be difficult for Pern, to support I he rest of it's athletic program at this rate because no one will enjoy coming to see Pennsylvania play and as a result the gate will suffer.

Sure, this shouldn't be the primary pur- of inter-collegiate football but the

fact is it does support many other sports at Pennsylvania. Has a way been setup

so that we do not have to worry about los- ing at the football gate so that our other

letic teams will not sufTia This brings us to our intercollegiate ath-

letic program as a whole. One big trouble is in declining student interest towards ath- letics at Pennsylvania.

■ year there was a definite decrease in attendance at the basketball gi rj yet

isylvanla had a fine team. This decline in attendance seemed to center around the students, lewer and fewer were purchasing tickets for the games.

The next move was to move baseball from River Field to Franklin Field because il felt that the students would support the sport if it were much closer on campus. Student attitude was that I' >ej were glad to have baseball back on Franklin Field. But, what happened during the season? The baseball team was lucky to play before one hundred people in one game and at another at least fifty made an appearance.

The same thing seems to go for students trying out for athletic teams. Why is it that the freshman football team had only around forty candidates for its team while another Ivy Group institution could boast of over one hundred candidates?

There are many other examples among them the number of students that support

Pennsylvania s Walt Hynoski snags a pan in the Navy secondary for a four yard gain in the fourth period of Saturday's game.

Pennsylvania's minor sports program. The minor sports teams play before very few students during their season.

This is something that should not be for- gotten. Student interest is not only declin- ing in athletics but also in many other phases of University life. We can remem- ber when Daily Pennsylvanian smokers were jam packed but yet last year interest was so low that many of the paper's members were worried about the number of students available to run the paper.

Intercollegiate athletics has many impor- tant values to any institution. It creates fibre, spirit and sinew in a student body. It also provides an outlet for energies and loyalties of the alumni. Among other things it does is provide a means to demonstrate leadership in a community such as Penn- sylvania in Delaware Valley.

ese and many more are reasons for having a good sound intercollegiate and intramural athletic program. One way that we feel that lack of student interest can be

a broader, longer and more stringent physical education program. In this way many students will have increased interest to participate in competitive sports. It cannot be denied that sound minds come out of a sound body.

This is something that should be re- examined here at the I'niversity. Our inter- collegiate athletic program should be put on a sounder basis, student interest in such things should be increased and with this we feel that there will be a strong harmonv between the undergraduates, alumni and administrators.

Organization. Since it is very unlikely that

the Soviets would allow inspec- tors freedom of movement within the USSR, Beloff was "profoundly skeptical" that any settlement would be made on disarmament.

He said the present technologi- cal advances of Russia and the United States made a major war unthinkable. All participating nations would be ruined.

The amosphere of propaganda to mislead the Russian people many conceal an actual misun- derstanding of U. S. policy. Bel- off cited the Soviet underestima- tion of the effect the Korean War would have on the rest of the world.

Any plans of expansion must be based on the budget, he stressed. The USSR took advan- tage of destruction wrought by Germany and Japan to seize eastern Europe and China after World War II

Beloff, a graduate of Corpus Chrlsti College of Oxford Uni- versity, is the author of "Soviet Foreign Policy in the Far East" and "The Foreign Policy of So- viet Russia."

Preceedine the lecture Beloff was the guest on "University of the Air," a local television pro- gram conducted by Dr. D. Lincoln Harter, political science depart- ment. On the panel were Joanne Steinberg and A. Richard Kas- clan.

Beloff was the guest of honor at a luncheon held in Houston Hall at 1 p.m.
