on taylor gym floor wednesday night when they met and defeated the moravian col lege team by the score of 49-19 the brown and white cagemen had been practicing diligently for the past week in order to make a good impression when the curtain rose for lehigh's 1923-1924 season being with out a paid coach at the present time captain buddy lingl assumed charge of the varsity squad and moulded them into a fast and hard fighting machine which will give its opponents much trouble both teams started off at a rapid pace but the lehigh quin tet mainly through the work of smith a new man playing side by side with captain lingle and weinstein last year's speedy guard soon out-distanced their opponents and from then on were never in danger of being passed the first half ended 28-7 in favor of the brown and white the second half started just as fast as the first had but still the team from moravian col lege found lehigh's defense im pregnable toward the end of the game the lehigh reserves were rushed into the fracas and they too gave a good account of themselves the game was fast from be ginning to end the only trouble being the many fouls which were committed by both teams men on each of the teams were forced to leave the game be cause of having four personal fouls charged against them the line-up is as follows lehigh moravian smith forward .... morgan lingle capt .. forward ... thatcher

will take the field against its old rival lafay ette this saturday on taylor field the encounter with the maroon is of double interest in asmuch as it is the final game of a successful season and of fers the opportunity for a third successive victory over lafay ette in 1921 lehigh gained a 1 to 0 win from the eastonians and repeated the triumph in 1922 this last time with a 2 to 0 score coach carpenter's team will be in good shape for the contest the only regular not in the line up being hubbard who is troubled with water on the knee roberts and hawkins are cap able goal-keepers and one or the other of them will hold down that position in hubbard's ab sence with the return of cap tain fernandez powerful main stay of the team a gain in ag gressiveness is expected fern andez was not quite able to make the trip to perm state last week but has recovered his strength to a remarkable de gree and is practically certain to play in saturday's game pineda whose absence was felt in the perm state game will also be back in the line-up in the game with lafayette last year fernandez and pineda scored the goals and the presence of these two veterans will greatly strengthen the point-gaining power of the brown and white team the season of the maroon has not been a particularly impres sive one lafayette has won from haverford 3 to 0 and has played a scoreless tie with the navy but the other encounters of the eastonians have ended disatrously perm state won from lafayette with the score of to 0 swarthmore won with o 3 to 2 count and in their last game the maroon took the small end of a 4 to 0 score with university of pennsylvania due to the importance of sat urday's game and the interest that is being shown in its out come a crowd is expected and the cheer leaders will be on

marriage is a foe to science women members of the ameri can chemical society declare and chemistry as a profession they say cannot compete suc cessfully with the allurements of a home miss m v dover who during the war served the gov ernment as an expert in ex plosives and is now an assistant professor of chemistry at the university of missouri thinks that the field is not as wide for women as for men men may marry and con tinue as chemists she says but the woman who weds must abandon chemistry if she is to maintain her home successfully in the field of industrial and en gineering chemistry of women chemists are not as suitable as men but there are exceptions to this it is in the field of research and in the health laboratories that the work of the woman chemist lies but here too if she wishes to go far she will find that years of study and endeav or are needed and the making of a home will interfere w c klein a senior in the arts and science department has inaugurated a very novel psychological test for the pur pose of determining the poetic power of the students of lehigh university the test is in three parts the first part being verses from well known poems in which extra words are given at the end of each line only one of these words is the right one and the student must pick out that one word the second part consists of verses from poems in which words have been left out and the student must put in the words which he thinks will rhyme with the rest of the verse the third part consists of verses from poems in which the words and sentences are mixed changed around and put out of place this is the hardest part of the test for it requires true poetic ability to be able to pick out the words and sentences and put them in their proper place this test was given to the b a psychology class under the direction of w c klein and professor hughes and the re sults were quite good at a meeting of the athletic committee held tuesday after noon in prof reiter's office sev eral important matters pertain ing to lehigh's football schedule of next year were decided lehigh will meet holy cross in woscester on the bth of no vember it was decided to leave the selection of a field for the lehigh-lafayette game up to the lafayette authorities but with the understanding that the game will not be played at eas ton whether the lehigh-lafayet te game in 1924 will be played in taylor stadum or on frank lin field is now entirely up to the lafayette authorities the lehigh athletic committee is strongly opposed to playing the game on march field a letter to graduate manager reeves ex plained that no matter how safe you may make stands — they are like a bad reputation it will be difficult to live the sit uation down the committee voted unanimously against play ing the game at easton next year the reasons given were first in regard to the safety of life and limb which no doubt would hurt the attendance greatly and second on account of the lack of seating capacity for our alumni and students the committee suggested play ing the game either on taylor stadium or on some neutral field preferably franklin field the university of pennsylvania authorities are very anxious to have the game staged on their field as such attraction as the lehigh-lafayette game would doubtless attract a large crowd it is estimated that more than fifty thousand would attend a much larger attendance than could be handled in taylor stadium at this meeting it was decid ed to substitute holy cross for the date originally set aside for the bucknell game on the foot ball schedule for the season of 1924 this action was taken af ter bucknell notified the beth lehem authorities that due to schedule circumstances the team would be unable to come here next season but intimitat ed that relations would be re sumed the following year car negie tech made a similar reply in meeting holy cross lehigh will meet one of the strongest of the new england elevens an additional feature is that this game will serve as dedication to the new stadium at woscester which can accommodate thirty thousand spectators the guar antee is most flattering together with the privilege of taking fif ty percent of the net gate re ceipts syracuse university invited lehigh to join its schedule but due to the fact that this was only for the 24 season it was deemed advisable to accept the holy cross date this game will be played away making a total of three games away and five home providing the ' lehigh lafayette game is played at philadelphia a telegram was received from the southern methodist univer sity of dalles texas who were willing to accept any open date on lehigh's schedule as the trip would require five days this college wanted a guarantee of 5680 and an option of fifty per cent of the gate receipts the offer however was not accepted the official receipts of the le high-lafayette game totaled over 44,000 and the expenses were 2000 lafayette received one-half of the net reqeipts statistics obtained from the dean's office show a total of 1 027 failures for the past five week period as compared with 902 failures for the preceding period of six weeks by a fail ure is meant the number of sub jects in which the students fail ed and not the number of stu dents who failed in the recent intelligence test given to the freshmen class at dartmouth a v wingram of leonia n j was the highest rating man according to an an nouncement made recently by associate dean r w husband who conducted the tests although these tests which are similar to the army war tests do not affect a
