point in one of the im portant contests of the season the last two gamesi with buck nell and the new york aggies re spectively indicate that the team has struck a winning stride al though the opposition in the last game was somewhat weak the score rolled up was impressive and the team work displayed was very good donovan is back in form again as a field goal shot his eleven goals being a feature of the game and he will start at one of the forward positions the other forward position lies between maurer and rote with the chances favoring the selection of rote whose illness prevented him from being started in the game on last saturday hess has been con tinuing his good work at the center position his floor work being excel lent while the records show him to be second in point of field goals tli p frnmrl 1 nncfi+jn-ns will riyahq'wii be filled as usual by captain straub j and simendinger their playing saturday was good as may be judged from the fact that lehigh s opponents scored only three field goals an unusually low total the army basketball team this year presents a strong line-up as usual they have won the greater number of their games so far this season having defeated several strong teams the strength of the west point aggregation appears to lie to a con siderable extent in the guard po sitions and as this part of the le high team is also strong a low scoring game should result while no basis for comparison exists on games played by the two teams this year the game is expected to be closely contested the game will take place in the ! afternoon but it is improbable that many of the lehigh sup porters will be able to make the trip on account of examinations the probable line-up : lehigh positions army | donovan f johnson rote f blaik hess c whitson straub g . . . pfeiffer simendinger . . . g daniel lehigh alumnus heads local legion post mr c n wyant principal of bishopthorpe manor and a gradu ate of the university of virginia was the main speaker at the sun day evening y m c a meeting mr wyant has spoken at lehigh on other occasions and those who have heard him before and at this time remember him as an intensely interesting talker although not a lehigh man he follows lehigh ac tivities closely and his interest was reflected in the topic he chose to speak on ' ' once a lehigh man al ways a gentleman ' ' his talk in part was as follows : the freshman handbook or bible as it is called is a fine innova tion in my day we had no such things it gives all the necessary information to the green freshman and also some good advice and i mottos one of the latter is my subject ' once a lehigh man always a g^nitlfiiaa-nj after reading this i over one immediately asks oneself is lehigh different in this respect from other colleges is this motto true or is it simply an ideal i i have come to the latter conclusion ; it is an ideal that the college is striving to attain ' ' this university was founded as the fulfillment of an ideal and a vision it meant for poor boys the chance to get a higher education does 1 it besides this make men honorable andi upright in other words gentlemen not in the old sense of the words as loafers but gentlemen as understood at the present day each successful institution has one or more outstanding features about it the university of vir ginia for example has been noted for its honor system no man after thoroughly understanding the system and getting the spirit of the university would think of cheating before his fellows it is a college tradition ' • there has been a noticeable im provement in the spirit of lehigh in the last ten years better fresh mar classes have been coming each year the honor system is working better today than ever before the arcadia has a higher standard all this i have noticed myself there fore it looks as though the college was coming nearer and nearer to its goal of ' once a lehigh man always a gentleman r o t c movies notice the new york aggies turned out to be the weakest aggregation seen here in basket ball this year and with very little effort the brown and white five swamped the visitors in taylor gym last saturday by a score of 51 to 9 a fair sized crowd was on hand to see the game which was devoid of thrills except for the spectacular goal shooting of tim donovan who caged eleven field goals before coach murphy ran in his second team the aggie team was greatly weakened by the loss of two of their varsity owing to sickness but if they had been able to present an entire first string line-up it is doubtful if they would have been able to give the brown and white quintette much of a battle nichols the visitors center who also was seen is i in t niu'kiiclu vvnen lie ag gies played here in football last fall was their only redeeming feature and he was in almost every play and caged the only three field goals that were made by the new yorkers his foul shooting was very inaccurate as the best he could do was to cage three out of ten attempts coach murphy started the regu lar varsity five with the exception that maurer was at forward in place of harry rote who was not in uniform on acount of slight ill ness in the first half donovan tossed in seven field goals while hess caged three straub two and maurer one the aggies totalled only six points in this periods as a result of nichols two field goals and two fouls score 30-6 after five minutes of play in the second period the second team com posed of white and kopf for wards ; lees center and frain and kennedy guards was sent in and their work was equally as good as the regulars from both the stand point of goal shooting and team work lees at center showed up exceptionally well and caged three field goals in the fifteen minuets he played the summary follows : new york position lehigh donnelly f donovan vairro f maurer nichols c hess tuthil g . . . simendinger wenger g straub goals : donovan 11 ; hess 3 ; lees 3 ; straub 2 ; kopf 2 ; maur er white nichols 3

two 20-minute halves colonel lang lectured to the members of the rifle club and his r 0 t c classes monday morn ing on the use of the rifle he ex plained its various uses and the most important points he brought out are as follows : : you must know what a rifle is capable of doing and you must practice in order to learn practice is absolutely essential after that you must consider the trigger and in squeezing it with the index fing er it must be done in a firm man ner continuing we come to the sights they are the front and rear sights and both should be soft velvety black in color in order to avoid blurring in sighting when you have begun to shoot you should take the same kind of sight each time and that is one of the main points in rifle practice the ad vantage of the peep sight over the open sight is due to the fact that it is easier to center the top of the front sight in the peep hole and thus get the same amount of front sight each time ' ' then he explained the project ory or the path of the bullet and the various forces acting upon it in its flight in order to sight prop erly you must have the front and rear sights and target in the same line he concluded his lecture by
