contested and received resounding applause from the many spectators crowding the | balcony and the sides of the j tank the record of 69.5 ft j held by captain underwood 23 of the 1923 team for the plunge was broken by yon stanley of rutgers when he plunged 71.5 ft doc underwood whoi traveled from new york to see ' the meet was present and took a lively interest in all the events especially in the plunge at i which time he as"ked captain ! astarita for the privilege of al ! lowing yon stanley to make a j third try to increase his record ; the diving was an excellent ex \ hibition of form the excellence of jim riley's coaching was evident in : the first event which was the 200-yd relay warner of rut gers won two first places and ; wa"s the high for lehigh's opponents while raleigh of the brown and white team clinch ed the only first place which was ' the 100-yd back stroke cap-j tain galbraith veteran rutgers i diver and a member of the olympic team gave a pretty ex j hibition in fancy diving how i ever the winning of this event ! was not an easy matter for cap astarita gave a masterful dis play and showed excellent form losing out by a very small mar j gin the 200-lb plungers of rutgers had no difficulty in cap \ ping the first and second place the first event was the relay which wa.s won by rutgers and \ which broke the previous rec j ord raleigh who swam anchor for lehigh had hardly a chance to make up the lead that was made by the first three rutgers men the fast time of 1.45 4-5 the result which eclipsed all former time in the next event galbraith won the first place by a slight margin captain gal braith and captain astarita were in rare condition and gave ! a wonderful diving display both showed good form and were closely matched childs showed great ability and came in a close j third galbraith is a veteran of four seasons and before enter ing rutgers had the privilege of being chosen to accompany the olympic team as one of the divers of the swimming team the 50-yd event was another closely contested match ros setti and travis were swimming i abreast till the last few feet and rossetti gained the edge a few i inches in advance of travis j foster of rutgers came in a close third in the 220-yd event reed and parsons a second and third place for the brown and white while warner high scor er for rutgers won the match | with a time of 2.38 flat lehigh's plungers could not compete with yon stanley who broke the pool record when he plunged 71.5 feet the best that delong could do for lehigh i was 58 feet the 240-lb weight of vonstanley carried him j through the water at a fast rate on the first plunge when he made the record on the second plunge he made 68 feet after which he was allowed a third j try to beat his first plunge but he failed to do so the 200-yd back stroke look ed like a lehigh victory for pilat lead for about three lourths of the distance potts continued on paye 4 column 2 manager boyle wants every veteran and

moth-eaten several matters of interest were discussed in a recent meet ing of the arcadia the stu dent's self aid bureau was the subject under considera tion and then houseparty plans were discussed the alumni committee on athletics were represented at ihe arcadia meeting the com mittee explained that the men who are receiving the benefits of the student's self aid bureau were not in the opinion of this organization giving sulficient attention to their work it was decided that some measure should be taken to stir the men into renewed action and a spe cial committee was appointed to handle the matter and to inves tigate methods for proceeding one of the new proposals is to have the bureau handled by the students themselves rather than the alumni committee on ath ietics as heretofore report of the matter will be presented at the next meeting taylor stadium favored for le high-lafayette gamo'but negotiations not closed the decision as to the location of the lehigh-lafayette grid classic is still hanging fire al though taylor stadium is strongly favored as the site for the 1924 game negotiations have not been definitely closed at the regular monthly meet ing on monday february 11 the athletic committee of lehigh university voted to go on rec ord as being opposed to build ing any more temporary stands than those pressed into use for the 1923 game but agreed on additional facilities such as more and better police protection the committee also agreed to give 1,000 more seats between the goal lines on the south side of the field and to allow lafay ette all complimentaries asked for from this action it is evidem that lafayette has been serious ly considering accepting the courtesy of the use of tayior stadium heretofore the seats on the south side were reserved exclusively by lehigh but since it is lafayette's year to enter tain the additional concessions were agreed to this action of the athletic committee will be submitted to the lafayette au thorities for consideration and if accepted taylor stadium will be the scene of the 1924 football clash between the traditional rivals chemicals met on thursday noted bethlehem steel company engineer talked on familiar subject letter from lynn read the past week-end has been a very busy one for the mustard and cheese club wednesday thursday friday and saturday nights have been occupied with preliminary try-outs for the chorus and cast on wednesday night those who desired to try out for the chorus strutted their stuff to the leadership of perry piersol and other dance leaders the competitors were judged by the members of the club and singled out according to quality and adaptability thursday night fred dorton read over briefly the first act of the show for the purpose of illustrating the parts in this act names were then taken for the various parts and try-outs held before the club members and the remaining competitors the cho rus and cast try-outs were in corporated on friday night and further changes made there is still a chande for competitors to obtain parts in the chorus or in the cast and the directors are looking for a wealth of material in order to select the best and to make the competition worth while any one who is capable of singing or of impersonating a young lady and a girl is wanted to fill the parts of that character a letter has been received from billy lynn director of last year's show saying that his time for directing the show this year would be limited so that the club may have to go without his services part of the time this will be a set-back to the club since it was billy's en deavors that put last year's show across however while he is at the job he will probably make up for the times he will be absent by the end of this week final try-outs will have been completed for both ca3t and chorus and actual work will be gin in a short while faculty acts on cheating in examinations line-up about the same tomorrow night the brown and white basket ball team will meet the swarthmore quintet in taylor gymnasium after playing in three hard games in succession and emerging vic torious in two of them tomor row night's game should serve as a breathing spell for the l2 high cagemen as the visitors have not had a very impressive record to date last year lehigh conquered the little quakers by a single point after an extra period game on the latter's court there is little reason to expect such a hard game this year unless the visitors have shown considerable improve ment over the form they exhi bited so far this season the garnet squad has _. had rather a disastrous season to date having had but one victory to their credit this was when they conquered franklin and marshall to the tune of 20 to 13 on the other hand the garnet clad passers have held some powerful teams to close scores early in january west point de feated them 31 to 24 but swarthmore remained within a few points of the army up until the last minutes of play on the comparative scores of lehigh and swarthmore against the ca dets swarthmore would seem to have the advantage taking villanova as a basis of com parison lehigh has a decided advantage since the brown and white passers defeated villan ova by a decisive score while the latter defeated swarthmore 21 to 17 besides the defeats men tioned swarthmore has been conquered by wesleyan leb anon valley princeton and the university o f pennsylvania when defeated by perm the garnet quintet was handed the worst defeat ever suffered in welghtman hall captain wood and evans both guards seem to have been the leading play ers of coach kelchner's cagers and even though playing at guard they have scored as con sistently as the other members of the team the probable line up will be : lehigh swatrhmora hess forward shane

barracks the home court of the lafayette basket ball team lehigh scored a well earned victory over her old riv als by the score of 33-26 the brown and white five was not accustomed to the type of court as is at easton and was there for under a great handicap in the beginning of the game the new gymnasium at lafayette was supposed to be dedicated on this date but work on it has not yet been completed the varsity teams of both in stitutions took the floor right after the lehigh frosh defeated the lafayette yearlings in a well played game by the score of 21 20 the difference in the feeling between the games played by the frosh and the varsity could almost be felt in the air the first half of the big game was a sucession of thrills from beginning to end both teams passed well and when a player would get through the oppon ent's defense he was almost sure to get the goal the half ended with the maroon quintet leading 17-15 the playing of chuck hess for lehigh in this half was the outstanding per formance of the night the second half was even faster and harder fought than the first the teams would get the lead one minute and lose it the next however lehigh's spurt in the final minutes of play gave them a victory of 33 26 incidentally this was the first lehigh victory on lafay ette's home court in four years hess lehigh's sterling for ward played his best game of the year for the team and his sev enteen points went a long way in defeating lafayette wein stein and gallagher scored eight and six points respectively while the floor work of captain lingle and springsteen's

the date for the house party has been set for april 24th 25th and 26th a petition has been presented to the faculty to this effect and final action is expect ed next week this is the movie life ing to gravity of the offense penalties inflicted vary accord a statement prepared in the office of the dean regarding the various actions of the commit tee on discipline reveals the fol lowing facts as a direct result of the final examinations six men have been brought before the committee on discipline for infraction of the university rule against cheating in written exercises the committee feels that in lay ing the facts before the under graduate body they are pursu ing the logical method of appris ing the college of certain mat ters of general interest natur ally the names of the six men will be withheld the following penalties were imposed : one man was dismiss ed for a period of one year one man for the period of one term and four men were dropped from the course in which they cheated and received no credit for their previous work in that particular course additional cases independent of the final examination exercises were pas sed upon with the following re sults one man was dropped from the course and all credit withheld for presenting a report that was not his own work and one man was dismissed from college for one term for having given false testimony to the committee on discipline there are two points that are of particular interest in the statement printed above first the faculty comittee is not quib bling in matters that are derog continuea on page 3 column 1 bill roper will resign his position as head coach of prince ton at the end of the 1924 foot ball season business pressure as in foster sanford's case is making this act necessary lafayette frosh suffer close defeat on barracks floor suffering their first defeat of the season the easton y m c a went down before the lehigh freshmen friday night on the easton floor by the score of 39 19 the game was fast through out and was characterized by rough playing on each side e h schuab and gualco starred for the lehigh five the lehigh frosh also came through with another and much more important win on satur day night when they defeated the lafayette freshmen by the close score of 21-20 the team was handicapped by the long and narrow court of the eas tonians at the end of the first half the score stood tie 8-8 the entire lehigh team play ed well and it would have been hard to pick out any individual star although the team did not measure up to its usual form saturday night they played a line game which was featured by good team work their labor work also showed a decided im provement and from all appear ances the lehigh men are in i mid-season form informal discussion held the chemical society of le high university held a very in teresting and instructive meet ing last thursday evening in the lecture room of the cnemical building mr t a lewis com bustion engineer of the bethle hem steel company spoke to the members of the society on practical combustion engi neering and illustrated his talk with slides and sketches bill roper to resign mr lewis stated that the three types of fuel now used were solid gaseous and liquid of these the solid fuel predom inates especially in this part of the country where anthracite is used because of the proximity of the fields in former times only the larger grades were utilized but now due to the increased costs of mining and the develop ment of suitable means of hand ling the smaller sizes are com ing into ever-widening use by means of slides and sketches the several types of gas-producers and the reactions undergone by the fuel in the various stages of the producers were shown the greater thermal efficiency gain ed by the use of the producer gas was graphically shown and explained mr lewis especially stressed the economic advantag es to be gained by the use of by product gases from the blast furnaces and the coke ovens and the great savings possible by their correct utilization in the manufacture of iron and steel after the talk by mr lewis an informal discussion was held and the meeting adjourned for refreshments including some of henry's famous coffee since the appearance of the report of the alumni committee on athletics of the alumni as sociation in the alumni bulletin and in these columns consider able discussion has been aroused over the question of whether we should have a graduate manager or not those who were interro gated on this question almost without exception were against the plan of creating the position of graduate manager the plan of physical education whereby the ideal development of ath letic teams to quote the alum ni bulletin was regarded as un attainable at the present time the system of intra-mural sports and contests which would be welcomed here was conceded to be impossible at the present time owing to lack of money to finance the proposition and the large space which would be re quired to conduct these inter class meets this was admitted by a prominent member of the faculty the summary of stu dent opinion is that the whole proposal is out of the question i-nd that it does not solve the ultimate purpose how can la fayette be consistently defeated in the various branches of sport or how to make lehigh's ath letic teams commensurate with the material available for such teams in our student body — ." from one alumnus we learn that the advantages which the board of directors believed could be secured by the graduate manager were two-fold first the graduate manager will have nothing else to do but to ar range schedules select coaches and take care of any business routine connected with the man agement of the various sports and in the football season es pecially for the lafayette game ; have charge of the distribution of tickets his duties would however be dictated by the ath letic committee and might even include the duties of the pres ent steering committee in the second place he would see that the men on the various varsity squads remained in college and kept up their scholastic work lie would also see that the self aid worked efficiently it is be lieved that the cost of installa tion of this system including a competent man for graduate manager and assistants would be in the neighborhood of seven ty-five hundred dollars one member of the athletic committee doubts if the cost of installation of a graduate man ager will make it worth while but he asks the question what does the graduate manager have to do with the quality of the teams the plan of getting re serve material is good though in an engineering school it would not work out as well as it is at west point most of the larger colleges and universities now have grad uate managers but whether they are a success depends upon the man holding the position and his ability to get his subordin ates to work smoothly with him at the present time the athletic committee seems to be handling the financial and managerial end without complaint on jan uary 1 1922 after settling all bills and contracts there was in the treasury of the athletic committee over twenty seven thousand dollars together with approximately twenty-five hun dred dollars worth of equipment the following year which was coach baldwin's first year here the lehigh-lafayette game was | played at easton the balance in the treasury january 1 1923 was almost twenty five thous and dollai-s besides four thous continved on page /,, column s • the university of illinois ■ out ; • fits its
