frazier of haverford lehigh again emerged victorious from a basketball tilt with ford ham played last saturday afternoon on the taylor gymnasium floor if the fordhamites came down with thoughts of sweet revenge for last year's defeat they retired a sadder and wiser team for lehigh's mar gin was 11 points the final score reading 38 to 27 as a whole the game was rather spotty with frequent flashes of fast passing and perfect shooting inter spersed with many of unsuccessful tries for goals during the first half the fordham team retained the ball the greater part of the time al though this margin was not large this advantage and the general fast style of play was offset by a fre quent calling of fouls on fordham and the fact that practically all of their tries for goal were from a distance the excellent play of hartung blocked practically every chance of the visiting team to fol low through on these long shots and recover for an additional at tempt in the second half in spite of a let-down in the fouls called on fordham they were notable once having assumed the offensive to maintain the standard of play ex hibited in the first period and of fered a rather weak resistance to lehigh's improved passing and shooting continued on page four the score-sheet shows that dur ing the first half eight personal fouls were called on the fordham five for frosh five scares bethlehem

a was held in drown hall last sunday evening with pro fessor h r bosey reiter as the speaker the topic of the meeting the college man's religion was as appropriately presented as it is timely bosey spoke in part as fol lows : — continued on page four unfortunately the idea of re ligion has been associated with an unfortunate word called theology the history of religion will show that there have been no people with the general wail one hears on every hand is that the college man has no religion there is a haziness in his mind a spirit of unbelief dis interest and opposition at the men tion of the word religion to many minds the college has become a hot bed of atheism the boy from his early life has been taught as a rule to believe one thing and when he reaches college he is taught science which as a rule sets up a state of conflict our religion is not scien tific and our science is not religion as a result a state of apathy and even hostility is evidenced all seniors who have not yet handed in their class ballots are urged to do so in the course of the next few days it is imperative that these ballots accompanied with check be in the hands of j w gar dy 23 not later than the end
