representatives of alumni fac ulty and student body to meet tomorrow four discussions to take place on well-known subjects of interest to consider all phases held sunday afternoons alumni entertain club members return engagement promised bethlehem concert soon the combined musical clubs having completed an extreme ly successful trip to york are looking forward to their exhibi tion here in bethlehem this will probably take place in the early part of may the recently completed trip to york has shown a number of interesting facts in regard to this year's aggregation in past seasons the musical clubs have achieved only a mild degree of success in fact they have sel dom passed the bounds of medi ocrity if an appearance con tained a bit of lively or original material it was lost in a mass of talentless work and the genius received no credit for his brilliancy in short the mass of the students taking for granted that they could not turn out a really fine production grew to expect very little any students having seen the previous pro ductions would indeed have been astonished had they seen what the alumni did at york the performance shown at this city redeemed the fallacies of all the previous years and the ex hibition was proclaimed a huge success by all who attended in the first place all who saw it proclaimed it a huge success favorably criticized from all sides the members of the clubs were greatly encouraged they were feted and shown the greatest attention during their stay at york the members of the alumni there treated them with the greatest consideration in addition they gave them tan gible evidence of their apprecia tion by a return engagement next year this combined club composed of the glee club and the mando lin club is rejuvenated many new and intensely original acts have been prepared manager h t litke 24 announces that the bethlehem performance will probably be given at the south side high school the actual date has not been set but it is proposed to give it in the eariy part of may faculty dance tonight the lehigh basketball team finished one of the most suc cessful seasons in the history of this sport at lehigh early in the season a most powerful and aggressive quin tette was whipped into shape by coach jim baldwin with captain buddy lingle assum ing the duties as the brown and white cage leader successes from the start and continued well on into the season befefre the army five stopped their headlong advance nine straight victories were claimed before the defeat at the hands of the west point team victories fol lowed this defeat lafayette being thoroughly trounced with swarthmore sharing the same fate rutgers however revenged her first defeat by winning her second game then gettysburg and lafayette fell victims to the prowess of the brown and white tossers in the final matches of the season losing but two games to the army and rutgers out of fif teen is in enviable record for any team and especially with our old rival lafayette listed twice among the loosers in these fif teen games lehigh totaled the high score of 49s points against the 364 points of her opponents this excellent score shows the point-winning power that the team possessed the initial game was that with moravian college this team was out-distanced early in the contest and at the end of the second half the score wal 49-19 this first victory was soon followed by a similar feat with seton hall the final score being 32-23 in the next game more resistance was met stev ens held the lehigh team close throughout the contest but the latter secured a third victory the score board reading 17-131 albright was then defeated by an overwhelming score of 43-19 villanova followed in the wake of the other teams being de feated 32-19 muhlenberg made every effort to win but could not competes successfully with the brown and white team so she was conquered 27-22 the undefeat ed team scored its 7th victory continued on page 2 column s wrestlers meet m i t away brown and white squad stiffened by washburn and levitz's return lehigh has a slight edge on saturday march bth the lehigh wrestling team will be the guests of the massachusetts institute of technology this dual meet will mark the initial appearance of coach sheridan's huskies at cambridge and for this reason he is very anxious that the team make a good show ing the m i t grapplers who have always been a very strong team will again present a very formidable aggregation against the brown and white in the early part of the season the m i t team suffered an over whelming defeat at the hands of yale and later on in the season i were decisively defeated by i navy m i t has however de feated boston y m c a brown and harvard on a bas is of comparative scores com paring with yale and navy the lehigh team has a slight edge ion the massachusetts team cap tain hereford in the 158 pound class is probably their greatest j threat it will be remembered that eddie coxe of lehigh j last year's inter-collegiate 158 i pound champion had a very hard j time getting a time advantage over this man in the inter-col j legiates last year from all ac-j i counts he seems to be the logi-i cftl man for the 158-pound title this season the brown and white mat men have been hai'd at work the past week in preparation for this meet the final line up is i not as yet known but it will be changed somewhat from that which faced state last saturday washburn who has been absent from the mat for the past week due to injuries is again in tip top shape and will wrestle in | the 125-pound class j reyn ■ olds the varsity 115-pound man ! has been out due to a torn liga ment received in the cornell meet and it is very doubtful whether he will be in shape to make the trip j e campbell or j f campbell will wrestle in the 115-pound class levitz jthe varsity heavy weight is again in condition and will wres-l tie in the unlimited class with the addition of washburn and levitz coach sheridan hopes that the team will make a much better showing than it did against either cornell or perm state dean wins beauty contest freshman wrestlers leave for cornell on saturday afternoon at 2.30 the brown and white natators will act as hosts to the garnet clad mermen from swarthmore this will be the last appearance of the lehigh swimmers in a dual meet this season and they are determined to finish on the long end of the score in prev ious meets the lehigh tankmen have been victorious in two out of six but they have shown de cided improvement in form in the past two weeks and if their be taken as a criterion a vic tory tomoitow may be expected in martin who is both captain and manager swarthmore has a swimmer of high calibre and one who has had at least one victory to his credit in every meet except the one with the army in this meet he was nosed out of first place in the 220 yard swim by a matter of inch es in the meet against catholic university he won two first places finishing first in both the century and the furlong it is likely that he will swim in two races tomorrow one of which is certain to be his favorite the 220-yard swim the performances of the le high swimmers compare rather favorably with those of the swarthmore tankmcn there have been several colleges which have been met by both aggrega tions and in every instance the lehigh team has turned in the better record in comparison with that of the little quakers swarthmore has but one victory to its credit and that was ovet the catholic university swim mers whom lehigh defeated last saturday in this meet le high's margin of victory was two points greater than that of swarthmore but since both le high and swarthmore won by overwhelming scores such a small margin is hardly indica tive of any superiority on the other hand army defeated le high by a small margin of 10 points while they conquered swarthmore by an overwhelm ing score the same comparison holds good for the showing of tomorrow's rivals against rut gers but to a somewhat lesser degree in addition to the de feats mentioned above swarth more met defeat at the hands of amherst and wesleyan by one sided scores the meet tomorrow will be the last dual meet for the visi continued on puye z column 6 cast and chorus for panchita selected to present pageant dean of women lucy m van cott of utah university was voted the

this evening at drown hall the committee in charge con sists of professors beaver fry lewis anderson turner and mease they have procured the lehigh six to furnish the mu sic and the commons to serve the refreshments the dance should be quite a success as it is to be a masquer ade party and each member of the faculty has been urged to bring a guest although it has been customary to hold only four dances a season it is hoped | that a fifth will be held this year due to the popularity with which they have been received by the faculty members a historical pageant of events in the history of emory and henry college and the immedi ate country surrounding the col lege is to be presented soon by the students and friends of that college during the past month the endowment campaign has been steadily carried forward and the fund has shown a steady increase the late tide of the campaign has brought out the fact that raising the sum of four millions of dollars is no small job and that a long and persistant effort will be neces sary before the desired sum is realized it is impossible for many loy al lehigh men who would glad ly contribute to the fund to do so at this time many of them are men out of college but a few years some just starting in bus iness or just acquiring a family who are not at present in a po sition to be able much as they desire to do so to contribute others are not in a condition of financial stability due to the un certain business conditions of the past year it therefore be comes a matter of having the necessary patience and every le high man will do his share the fund was swelled by the sum of 45,590 representing the gifts of many lehigh men and interests one of them comes i from an alumnus in siberia and is probably the furthest remov ed of any the

president charles richards to enable himself and members of the board of trustees to as certain the different view points of these three bodies on th(i subject though until now the subject of having a graduate manager has held the stage the trend of talk now seems to be toward the division of the pres ent athletic administration into two parts one concerning itself with the actual gymnasium work while the other with the athletic teams varsity and scrubs at present these two are merged and to many the sep aration of them seems futile in some sports where the par ticipants are picked just prev ious to the meet as in swim ming wrestling and track this division would be an hinderance rather than an aid the intramural sport idea is again coming to the front witji this new discussion and atten
