for the visitors and succeeded in caging five shots the only double-deckers garnered by lafayette there was no outstandi ng man on the lehigh five every man on the floor played his best and gave everything he had in an effort to break the jinix which has been following the brown and white teams for the past several years the game ended with the score standing at 20 to 17 lehigh lafayette i

pittsburgh mermen by the score of 41 to 30 the meet was full of thrills and surprises and was anybody's meet until the last event was completed the brown and white men put up a val iant struggle and in many respects showed the best form of the year the relay team came through with a win for the first time of the year the pitt team emerged victors in five of the eight events but this re sult does not show the real strength of the lehigh team as a better turn or a better take-off in several events would have just reversed this score kistler of pittsburgh was the high scorer of the meet by virtue of hie capturing g fe?s a second and a third place he won the 50-yard back-stroke took a second place in the fancy dive and finished third in the 100-yard breast-stroke for second honors steele and carr of pitt were tied each with a first and a second place to his record steele won the 50-yard dash and finished second in the 50-yard back stroke while carr finished first in the 100-yard swim and captured second honors in the 50-yard dash harmon of lehigh besides swim ming anchor man on the winruing relay team handily won the 220 yard swim against butts and bright of pittsburgh he also finished third in the 50-yard dash but he was disqualified for running into a pittsburgh swimmer childs won first place in the fancy dive event which was the only other first place captured by lehigh in the meet the first event of the meet was the 200-yard relay which was won by lehigh shaeffer lehigh's lead off man secured a 2-foot lead over carr of pitt shields managed to just about maintain this lead against kistlen the pitt speed king then atwood although starting with a very poor dive clinched the race by adding several more feet to le high's lead harmon the lehigh anchor man was able to just keep ahead of steele of pittsburgh and thus win lehigh's first relay of the year childs lebigh's only entrant in the fancy dive event came through with a win by defeating kistler and lacey of pitt childs's dives were all nearly perfect with the exception of the first voluntary dive a run ning one-half gainor in which he fell down due to a poor spring from the board neither kistler nor la cey showed the excellent form of childs but both gave a very credi table exhibition the judge of this event was mr r s taylor and he awarded first place to childs second place to kistler and third place to lacey continued on page four captain underwood of lehigh had an off day in the plunge the best he could do being 56 feet thus the cornell yeanling matnien met the brown and white freshmen on saturday afttrmxm although the cornell wrestlers fought hard to take a victory back to ithaca at the end of the meet to their chagrin were on the short end of a 16 to 15 score a hard close-fought battle and 1 very exciting to say the least lehigh's victory was brought about by falls from poliska and ander son the rest of the men put up a hard fight but were against oppo nents who were their betters coach sheridan was greatly disappointed at the lack of interest the freshmen showed in giving no opposition for the 115-pound class and also the unlimited class no one came out for the unlimited class till thurs day afternoon and the man who came then had to wrestle with no coaching or experience whatsoever this is somewhat discouraging to the team when the material is around but has no interest in the work thie next meet will be with the allewtown y m c a the date is uncertain yet but it will probably be some time in the near future in order that this meet be a greater victory than before coach sheri dan urges all men to come out and help the team along with a little continued on page four there will be a regular meeting of the varsity club on thursday evening

is superintendent of the metallurgy department of the british national physical laboratory the meeting closed by a general discussion 1 and an opportunity for students and others present to ask questions which was liberally ex ercised dr rosenhain opened his talk by speaking of the effect of heating and quenching of metals and 1 alloys upon the structure of the metal and of the deplorable lack of method used mi both this and 1 foreign coun tries by industrial experimenters he stated that as yet nothing better than guess-work methods had been developed and showed the pressing need 1 of systematized experimenta tion by industrial concerns he also spoke of the same condition as re gards alloys many of which could be improved by study of the laws which govern alloying a field which has scarcely been touched alloys of steel sometimes harden by being allowed to stand several days after quenching although subjected 1 to no treatment during that time the freshman basketball team lost a hard game on saturday to the york collegiate institute pass ers by the score of 35 to 15 the game was played at york before a crowd estimated to be between 900 and 1000 people the home team were fast
