book committee can not see its way clear to in clude the name of anyone in the class book who has hot either paid the assessment or made ar rangements to pay it in the near future the failure of any body to pay the required amount would either cause the commit tee to go in the hole financial ly or else cause the committee to cut down on its space in the epitome remember the individual pho tos of

on the upper field last saturday afternoon this is the third straight victory for coach carpenter's men and proved that in one sport at least lehigh was superior to her anci ent foe from down the river it was the best game that has ever been seen here since the introduction of soccer to le high's athletic activities the crowd numbered around a thou sand and gave the team good support even though the cold weather kept the band out of action the passing of the for ward line was at the height of perfection every man playing his position well especially those on the outside of the for ward line the weather condi tions were perfect but the scene of the contest was coated with a deep layer of mud and that made the footing decidedly treacherous although the con test was bitterly waged it was not without its humorous as pects since each attempted change of direction by the play ers resulted in the skidding or spilling of one or more contest ants on the slippery earth teams evenly
