Blue Key, for years a" sort of reposi torY for all juniors who had-friends or brothers who had friends or broth ers, had officially adopted a constitu tion. .By the terms of this document the membership was limited to a paltry thirty-six, and.thesewere to be select ed according to a very complex sys tem of points. For example, a pros pective member was awarded a point if he :had a sneaking parr in two Players' productions, likewise a point was to be credited to him if he stood in the first tenth of his class. All this, everyone agreed, was just dandy, because it would prevent any nasty tales about politics or favorit ism from .arising. Wasn't it quite obvious that under such an arrange ment only the "best" men would be STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY; OCTOBER 4; 1935 Alumni Secretary Announces Plans For Homecoming Lehigh Football Game To Feature Annual Homecoming.

Hetzel Visits I.ehigh President_ Ralph D. lietzel repre sented the College Wednesday at the inauguration of Clement C. Williams as president of Lehigh University. And then came elections last spring and more elections this fall. It wris soon apparent that there were faults in the constitution. For example, there might be as many as half a dozen men whose records should be looked into in order to de termine which of them had compiled the highest total. Of course, this would be a long and arduous process, involving minutes of time. And so the people who run Blue' Key decided, wisely, that this was too much, work. They couldn't be bothered.' Wednesday night additional elec tions to the society were held. For the second time the points totaled by those to be elected were neither compiled nor considered. At least no one can - accuse our Blue Key of sticking to the "horse and buggy" daze.

ESTABLISHED PRICE FIVE CENTS Full Squad Likely To Play Against Flying Dutchmen Cooper, Donato, Knapp Kornick Will Start In Backfield. Opponents Have Heavy Team; Boast 1 Victory By WALT FREUNSCH Lebanon Valley has never beaten the Lions in the nineteen meetings on the gridiron thus far. When State takes New Beaver Field against them 'tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock, there is every reason to believe that the re sult will not put a victory in the log of the Flying Dutchmen. Despite the ' fact that half a dozen regulars are on the bench the team will be in fine shape generally, and everyone should see action in the season's opener. Only two men seem to have their positions cinched. although a 'tents ' tive starting line-up has been announ ced by Head Coach Bob Higgins. Frankie Smith at end and Captain Bob Weber at tackle are certain. starters. Joe Krupa or Bob Morini will probably get the other wing post, with Park, Orlando, and Salisbury in reserve. Boy Schuyler or Dan Deillarino will get the other tackle position, with Johnny Economos and Francis Wilmer or Harry Latorre at the guard positions.' Chuck Cherun dolo or Chick Enders are possibili ties for the pivot post; .althoughthe an edge.. Kornick To Call Signals In the backfield. Coach Higgins will rely on Mike Kornick as signal caller, being convinced that his shift of Kornick from a half position will be juitified, since it adds a ball car rier to the quartet. Sammy Donato and Lefty Knapn will start in the halfback postsrirn?.e Bill Cooper will most likely play fullback and handle the burden of the punting. Among those on the bench for in juries are Fritz Owens, who has a nasty bone bruise that keeps him frdm running with his usual aban don; Lou Barth, still ailing; and Tom Silvano with a bad leg, although he may be called into service if • neces sary. Carl Waugaman's leg hasn't healed sufficiently; Red O'Hora is back in shape, although it probably would be best if he could have an other week of rest; and Art Fry may get in for a few minutes, only if nec essary, since he has just recovered from his hospital siege. Flying Dutchmen Big Joe Bedenk, chief scout of the State coaching staff, reports that Lebanon Valley is big this year, if nothing else, and they have the slight advantage of having played one game already, a 19-to-S victory over Kutztown. The line k reputedly heavy from end to end. Lebanon Valley's tentative line-up will probably be Sponaugle and Las cari, ends; F. Rozrnan and Captain Bartolet, tackles; G. Davies and Kni ley, guards; Kroske, center; Tindall, quarterback; Sheeslcy and lialmer, halfbacks; and Lutz, fullback. The Lions' avowed intentions arc to go from the whistle at top speed, piling up a lead in short order, that experiments may be carried out by frequent substitutions. A light drill of possibly un hour to night will climax the week's grind. A defensive session was held yesterday afternoon in an attempt to plug any existing holes in the defense. Kick ing in the game tomorrow will prob ably be divided between Cooper and Wayne Vonarx, on the basis of this past week's showing. Garden Design Chosen For Horticulture Show A modernistic design for a model garden, submitted by Harold W.
