              it is especially desired that all field and track men also those intending to try for either the base ball or lacrosse team should begin to attend as soon as possible as it will take a little time to learn the drill and all the time between now and spring should be used to the best advantage next week the drill will be run slowly and the movements ex plained in order that all may become accustomed to the work and do it as it should be done after next week there will be no slow drills come in next week and learn the drill and be prepared to go to work in dead earnest on monday jan 22 c w smith as each day passes the opening of the foot ball season draws nearer and although it is rather early to make predictions the out look is very promising of last year's team there are now in col lege : mcclung johnson petrikin thompson burley bray jackson and gadd making a total of eight — an excellent nucleus mcclung as a catcher is very steady and his throwing is all that could be de sired johnson was handicapped by a late start last season and if his sprained knee does not give him any trouble he will try for his old place at first base captain petrikin's usual good form leaves little to be said of his playing at third base thompson will be hard to improve upon burley was a new man last year and tried for catcher but finally went to the outfield bray was compelled to stop playing before the season was half over but was not nearly up to his form of the year before jack son's poor showing was undoubtedly due to his ill-health gadd's rec ord was phenomenal his batting average was 409 and his fielding was perfect every one will be anxious to see what he will do this season the freshmen seem to have con siderable material this year the most promising being

8 o'clock by order of the president base ball outlook a lecture for lehigh men especial attention is called to the lecture on the effect of recent glacial discoveries on the age of man to be given by professor williams to-morrow saturday evening and everyone is urged to take advantage of the privilege thus afforded to attend such lectures is not only due one's self but affords almost the only oppor tunity one has of showing his appreciation of the learning and good offices of the members of the faculty when any college or ganization undertakes to arrange such a course of lectures and when a professor spends valuable time and thought for which he receives no return save the knowledge of favors given it certainly behooves the student-body to give the little support which their mere presence will supply besides the words of a specialist like professor williams are very valuable both to those interested in the particular subject and to the student in general it is more over a mark of a broad culture to attend any lecture the subject of which is so pertinent as these are to the conversation of intelligent people popular lectures are the craze of the day and it is a most sensible craze but it would be a pity if anyone however learned he might be in his own line should become indifferent to the great thoughts which lie just outside of his own little sphere therefore let every one who can attend these lectures and thus help render lehigh as famous for the breadth of her learn ing as she already is for her thoroughness ing in the gymnasium about the first of february and will continue there until the weather permits of outdoor work the improvised cage is so poor that practice in it is harmful rather than beneficial the team will take a six days trip south during the easter vacation and will also play the usual series with princeton cornell lafayette and university of pennsylvania efforts are being made to obtain lowe of boston dashiell and throckmorton as coachers and under such overseeing the team ought to be a good one junior class meeting a special meeting of the class of 95 was held in dr coppee's lecture room at 11.30 tuesday morning for the purpose of electing an historian deciding on the amount of class dues for the term and of making arrangements for the class supper j e shero was elected historian by acclamation the constitution which states that elections of officers shall take place only at regular meetings being laid aside it was decided that the day for regular class meetings should be tuesday instead of thursday as has been the custom previously it was then agreed that the class supper should take place during lent and a committee was appoin ted to report as to the most suitable date a committee was also appointed to petition dr coppe'e to give his shakespearian lectures during the term as he has done for the past few years to the pleasure and instruction of the large audiences which have always attended them fifty cents a month was agreed upon as the amount for the class dues and then came the warmest discussion of the meeting — whether every man in the class was entitled to vote or only those who had paid their class dues some claimed that many could not afford to pay every month ; but if they were allowed to vote they would pay as much as they could and in propor tion to their means would do as much for class as those who paid regularly others declared that by so doing no credit was given to the men who had paid all their class dues for two and a half years and no induce ment was offered for paying dues at all when the question was put it was decided by a large majority that every man in the class should be allowed to vote " the melancholy days have come the saddest of the year for football's o'er and tis too soon for baseball to appear independent gymna sium class on monday of this week we started in the gymnasium a class which all students of the univer sity are invited to
