well this season and since their sea son started before christmas they have the advantage of longer experience over some of the brown and white wrestlers the visitors weak point has proved to be in the heavyweight classes and it is there that they expect to rub from lehigh with such men as levitz and burke defending the home team in the heavyweight and 175 pound class the new yorkers will have to be in topnotch condition to make any headway coach sheridan is expecting the team to come through with a very creditable showing and everything indicates that they will at the time of the writing

impossible to do any thing until all the members have been selected when the n'ne members have been ap pointd president charles russ richards will it is presumed call these groups together and act as

this discussion an editorial which appeared in the new york times of tuesday is very interesting this is based on the report on athletics re cently published by the car negie foundation for the ad vancement of teaching it is en titled balanced athletics and is quoted below that the tendency in colleges to enshrine athletics and look upon gate receipts as a measure of prestige is an evil
