college dance last sat urday was not what could be called a success it is most re gretable that the college body will not support these social functions the students self aid bureau is purely a collegiate body and merits the hearty co operation of each student there will be no more dances given by this bureau unless some spirit can be aroused and the support of the students obtain ed the cause is , certainly a worthy one the proceeds cov ered only a small part of the ex penses every dollar which the university had to spend for the dance takes that much away from the worthy work to which this money is devoted it is hoped that another col lege dance will be attempted in the near future although the present trial dance was not as successful as might have been hoped the honeyboys from easton did their best to make the dance a success as the few who at tended will agree it is to be regretted that such good music was appreciated by so few faculty club's fine meeting on

neer-in-chief of the united states navy in harmony with the fact that friday was " navy day the admiral chose as his topic*"the necessity of keeping the united states navy intact his speech was very interesting especially to the engineering students who were made to realize the opportunities for service that any type of engi neer may find in the navy admiral robinson's address was backed by a long and vari ed experience in the service of the u s navy as was stated in a fitting introduction made by president richards the admiral opened his speech by expressing his pleas j ure at dr richards introduc-j lion and he stated that he would adhere strictly to facts so that upon conclusion of his topic the students might draw their own conclusions in regard to the point he wished to bring out he went on to say in advance of his main topic that the ser vice of our professors that of devoting themselves to the mold ing of character in the youth of the day and that of inspiring men is the nearest to a divine thing that one can materially come later if not now the respect of the student for the professor will be unlimited an engineer as defined by admiral robinson is a man who with available facilities accomplishes the needs of others without waste the engineer's life is one of absolute service his work may be called applied common sense the speaker il lustrated this point by the lever transportation com munication and so forth are all founded on the performance of engineers and in the case of the engineer as is the case of every profession when one gets old and looks back upon life he asks have i been worth while if you live if you do ; if you've helped others — you have been worth while declar ed the admiral and if on the whole your conscience says you have donei more evil than good to humanity — humanity has not benefited by your life you're a failure the speaker went on to say that there is room for every type of engineer in the navy the ship is a complete city

margin in the defeat of muhlen berg by a 13^3 score last satur day afternoon at taylor field the first few minutes of play showed muhlenberg at her best with lewis and witt driving toward the lehigh goal within the 20 xard line lehigh's defens ive stiffened however and slem mer of muhlenberg was substi tuted to kick a field goal at no • other point in the game did muhlenberg offer the same threat that was evidenced in this initial drive greer and storer were very successful in gaining ground by means of tackle and off-tackle plays and this double threat finally resulted in placing the ball within scoring distance lewin on the receiving end of a long pass from storer crossed the line for the first six points the second half was marked by an effort to perfect the aerial attack of both teams forced by a penalty to kick from their very goal line lewis pnt for muh lenberg was blocked by mac gulrick storer scored after the ball had been advanced by greer in two successive line plunges the remainder of the game was featured by lehigh's sav age attack and muhlenberg's desperate and plucky resistance injuries were frequent captain springsteen being carried from the field in the last

offensive work storer greer and jacobs deserve men tion on lehigh's part while witt and lewis bore the brunt for muhleaberg defensively for le high the honors must be divided evenly with special mention of springsteen hendershott and hoffman while for muhlenberg black dorang and hartman de serve great credit it is interesting to note that lehigh was a total of eight first downs better than the muhlen berg team they forfeited the greater part of this advantage by losing seventy-five yards in penalties game in detail lewis kicked to walker who received on the.2o-yard line and returned the ball 5 yards a lose by greer 2 gains by storer and a lehigh offside forced storer to punt tp witt who received on his own 23-yard line lewis witt and conw-ay advanced the ball steadily and a twelve

from her own 20-yard line greet and storer gained 30 yards in four plays a fumble for an eight yard loss and an in complete pass forced storer to punt to witt after a single un successful try to gain
