pennsylvania league discusses many important issues at annual meeting brown and white quintet have little trouble to beat gothamites lehigh outpoints fordham five brooks elected vice-pres hess is the high scorer wine who on their own initia tive formulated these rules are entitled to much credit for an excellent piece of constructive legislation among the advantages of these rules are the following 1 the freshman regula tion traditional at lehigh are recognized and a method is pro vided for their systematic and effective enforcement in the dormitories by the elected rep resentatives of the dormitory students as a matter of fact the regulations will undoubted ly be more strictly enforced un der this systematic plan than they ever have been by the harsher but irregular methods of the past 2 the freshmen on their side aie protected by having their duties and rights defined and posted on the bulletin boards this is only fair to the freshmen 3 the penalties provided under the name constructive punishment instead of joeing mere horseplay or worse arc designed to be of real benefit either to the other students in the dormitories or to the fresh man himself or to both the punishments are probably in a way more severe than the old ones but they do not involve physical danger mental strain or personal indignity 4 most important of all the new rules provide that fresh man offences shall be reported to the elected and responsible section officer and the penalties imposed and enforced by him the working of such a plan means a training for the dormi tory students in the recognition and support of regular govern ment — in other words a train ing in good government ; where as the worst feature of the old method was that it fostered the idea and habit of a violent ir regular administration of jus tice in the spirit and method of vigilantes or lynching mobs it was intolerable that a training in such undemocratic un-am contmucd on page 3 column t a very large and enthusiastic crowd filled the basketball court of taylor gymnasium last sat urday evening to witness the lehigh varsity wrestling team decisively defeat the princeton grapplers by the score of 29 to 0 in every one of the fast bouts in this first meet of the season the members of the team came out victorious although several did so only by a narrow margin however the condition of the home team seemed to give them the advantage without excep tion and the final count showed that the victors had earned four wins by falls and three by de cisions this initial showing of the team was most encouraging to coach sheridan billy has turned out several champion ship teams for lehigh and judg ing from saturday's perform ance it would seem that this year's brown and white team is on the right road reynolds started off the vic tories by obtaining a fall over robinson of the orange and black team in two minutes and thirty-seven seconds this was a fast bout and was only won by reynolds quickness lang a newcomer to the wrestling squad handed a surprise by get ting a referee's decision over owen captain of the princeton team both gave all the fight that was in them but lang was able to get a few minutes ad vantage over the princetonian captain warriner of the brown and white won his bout by pin ning the shoulders of lewis to the mat in five minutes he was aggressive from the start when the probable outcome was plain ly seen by far the most exciting bout of the evening was between rogers lehigh and buttry princeton both men are wrest lers of no mean ability and they were so evenly matched that at the end of the ten minute per iod referee post declared the bout a draw following the next event rogers and buttry again battled roger's superior phy sical skill began to show itself frosh basketball five beats wyoming sem frosh grapplers defeat blair academy due to the inclemency of the weather during the months of january and february major patch has formulated a winter schedule to take the place of out door drill along the following lines a company reports to packer hall b company to the chemistry lecture room c com pany to the physics lecture room and d company to christ mas hall each wednesday at 4 p m here the companies are brok en up into small groups and giv en instruction by cadet officers and non-commissioned officers under the supervision of the commissioned officers of the military department the ob ject of the plan is twofold the subjects in which instruction is given are those that will facili tate getting the unit in good shape for the spring drill and more time can be used in polish ing off the rough spots due to the winters we encoun ter here we have a great deal less drill than do the southern colleges who can remain out of doors nearly the entire winter with this in view the military department believes that tnis handicap can be overcome to the same extent by the above meth od this of course will give le high a better chance of making distinguished again when the war department board inspects the unit next spring another object of the military department in instituting the group system is to give the cad et officers and non-commission ed officers the responsibility of instructing their respective groups this will bring into play what initiative they possess and will foster leadership which is so essential to them whether they remain in the military ser vice or take up civil pursuits here they will have a chance to handle men which they will be compelled to do when they leave college and take up their profes sional duties the following is the schedule for the next four drill periods and in case the weather is still too bad to get out of doors it will be lengthened jan 23 — close order drill feb 13 — close order drill feb 20 — extended order drill and combat formations feb 27 — parades and re views have you voted on box peace plan where will the lehigh-lafay ette football game the
