players refrain from going out on the

to use no other club on the greens.

Freshmen will be permitted to at

the early fall social functions, at least
In the matter of high grade music
which Is to be furnished by the well
known Wright's orchestra of Columbus.
Lane Wing there wore several cam

at that time the Student Tribunal set

Freshmen Can Attend
Chairman Armbruster, of the Tri

would be no objection to freshmen at
tending the Evergreens benefit on the
night of the twenty-eighth, which is
the evening preceding the opening of
the Penn State football season. They
may escort young ladies-to and (tom
the dance but must not take more than
the necessary amount of time in do

the representative of the club, plenty
of good material appeared and the

At the suggestion of Director Grant,
a new procedure was followed out this
year in the trials in that they includ

it is expected that the talent of the
organization will be brought to oven a

It is "Dutch's" plan to give every man
an opportunity in scrimmage to show

nice are by any means picked, but that
by shifting the men around from one
team to another an opportunity will
be given to select the men who do the
best work.
Quarterbacks
Ono of the biggest problems to be
solved Is the selection of a quarter

The names of several yearlings were
turned In for infraction of customs,
but the Tribunal desired to mete out
