These tunes, writ-. ten by students here at the College, will include. "My Stars," "rm. All Agog," '"Talkie' Through My Hat," "Road of Dreams," and others. With the usual stag line definitely eliminated because of Student Board's ruling that no stags will be admitted, there should 'be more dancing space at this datice than at any of the simi lar affairs of the past. Commenting on this - drastic measure which re stricts admittance to couples only, J. Briggs Pruitt '36, president of Stu dent Board, said: "We arc trying to popularize these all-college dances. There is no rea son why, with the cooperation of the student body, that these events can not be made into desirable dances. The old designation of "rat-race" will have no basis, for future descriptions of Student Union dances. A patrol of ten campus cops will be employed to carry out•the "no-stag" rule. In an endeavor to find the best ac oustic possibilities of Recreation hall, a difficult tusk without the use of drapes and a false ceiling, the band will be placed in the west end of the building.

ESTABLISHED PRICE FIVE CENTS Local Squad Favored; Higgins Emphasizes Offensive Play. Smith, Owens, Donato Kept Out by Injuries By PHIL HEISLER The Nittany Lions will write anoth ir page in the history of one of the most unusual college series in the :wintry when they encounter Vic Han .on's reputedly strong Orange eleven n Syracuse tomorrow. Satisfied by past performances :hat the line will prove as impreg mble as ever, Coach Bob Higgins has nen concentrating drills this week in developing a much needed fast drensive backfield in an attempt to ,ring the play out into the open and ) . resent more scoring plays. Among the peculiarities in the ..'enn Stale-Syracuse football seties is .he fact that neither team has scored sore than two touchdowns on the Aber in any one game. The series Jegan in 1922 and the two teams lave met continuously since that time. nien Syracuse won last year, 16-td-O, .t was the largest total ever amas .ed by one team. Of the thirteen ;limes played, the Lions managed to :ome out on top in only two of them, .hrec tilts were tic, and Syracuse won sight. State Has Edge Since both teams are slowed down :onsiderably because of injuries, an ,ther close battle should result, with State having a slight edge. Cooper be back in full swing, toting the but Smith, Owens, and Donato sill be unable to play due to injuries. With praise heaped upon the team :or its apparently successful game vith „I!itt last .saturday, Coach Hig ;ins'finds it necessaryto' aConically emind the players that "We lost that ;atm.? There is a possibility that he old story of ','on the rebound" may se changed to one of "overconfidence." State Lineup The probable starting State line-up vill see several changes. Miller, who .as captured for himself the repute,. :ion of a star defensive end, will hold lown the one wing position, while Art Fry Will take the other. Captain Bob Weber and De Marino will take the cockle positions. Wismer and Zochwo iki will play guards, with Cherundolo it center. In the backfield, Rabbit Wear will all signals, with O'Hora and An .rews playing the halfback positions. 2ooper will be back to punt and fill he fullback position. Johnny Economos is suffering from a slight injury that will keep him out of the starting wall, but he will un- Joubtedly see plenty of action in the same. Syracuse, although considered weak :r than last year, still remains un defeated and presents a team of no mean ability. Outstanding for the Orange is a passing combination reminiscent of the Lions' Sigel and Slusser. Roy Reekmack is on the tossing end while Jumping Joe Min savage, a fixture at left end, receives. Syracuse Ling-up The same Orange line-up started every game this season and will start against the Lions. Buchwald and Minsavuge at ends; Webster and la sed: at tackles; Jontos and Perrault at guards; and Shale, at center. In the backfield are Nolan, Rezkmack, Buylock, and Albanese.
