Cards Missed At BC Game; Flashers Late Students and alumni who hoped to see the College’s recent ly-innovated flash-card system in operation at Saturday’s game with Boston College were disap pointed when the system was not used. The system had been employed at the first home game, with Vilr lanova, and several times last year, when it first was inaugu rated. Cheerleaders and hatmen, in charge of flash card operations, called off Saturday’s performance after it appeared that not enough students had taken seats in the center section of the north stands. They decided it would be better to drop the flash card procedure for the day rather than to pre sent a poor performance, accord ing to Morton Snitzer, president of the Hat Societies Council. ' Snitzer said that at the game with Nebraska this Saturday the center section of the north stands, used by sophomores and fresh men, would be filled first by the ushers apd that the other sections of the lower classmen’s stands would remain closed, until this section is filled. This procedure will make certain use of the flash cards for the .annual homecoming game, he said.
