the new force were of no greater value than the students who policed the last game they made no attempt to keep the spectators off the side lines the game being stopped for several minutes to clear the sides lines the usual course of entering the stadium by the fences was fol lowed by numerous townsmen without the slightest hindrance during the half the children ot the town staged their usual play ground activities on the field it would be a great treat for the student body to see an efficient force maintain order and a clear field throughout a game the brown and white ma chine after the slump of last week came back to the form they had exhibited in the pre vious game though lewin was the star of the game it was to a large extent due to the support given him by his team mates mellinger and burke on the for ward passes and chuck hess on the off tackle plays were con tributing factors to the score prior stephens and greer played good games and were re sponsible for putting the ball in a position for lewin to score his first field goal though rutgers did not show as much team work and co-or dination as the brown and white eleven it was nevertheless not a one man team benkert ter rill and chandler at times prov ed dangerous to the home team hazel was the oustanding star for the scarlet and black aggre gation and it was his playing th a t stopped many a plunge thru the line he scored two place ments and a goal from touch down for rutgers after lewin's second drop kick which equalled the work of homer hazel the big player shook hands with honey and congratulated him in mid-field honey lewin who was sent injto the game while the second period was still young scored all the thirteen joints by drop-kicking two field goals out of two tries one from the fifteen yard line the other from the thirty-four yard line in addi tion he scored the only lehigh touchdown in the game a nd his accurate toe added the extra point hazel the husky scarlet full back starred for the opponents and with benkert and chandler was responsible for most of the rutgers gain hazel kicked two field goals out of six attempts by placement one from the thir ty-five yard line the other from the twenty yard line benkert scored a touchdown and hazel added the point after touchdown the first half of the game was a field goal contest between ha zel and lewin the latter came out the winner with an average of 1.000 while the former kick ed 0.333 hazel's first two at continued on page 4 col 1 before a colorful crowd neigh boring close to ten thousand the lehigh and rutgers elevens fought one of the most spectac ular and thrilling games seen in taylor stadium last saturday afternoon which ended in a 13 13 draw both teams were even ly matched first one and then the other taking the offensive gave the spectators a thrill which they will not soon forget honey lewin was the star ot the game scoring all of the brown and white's thirteen points after the closing whis tle he was borne to the field house on the shoulders of a surg ing throng of lehigh rooters this was the first time in the memory of seniors that a le high player was carried trium phantly off taylor field early in the afternoon the crowds began to gather to wit ness the game hundreds of cars were lined about the campus roads and sections of bethlehem immediately surrounding the stadium the congestion was very bad in the approaches to the stadium even at a compara tively early hour before the game many cars bearing new jersey and new york licenses told of the caravans from rut gers there is always more or less confusion resulting from improper traffic handling at le high games but the increased number that turned out from other sections of the country made the state of affairs partic ularly acute this was no doubt the moat important home game of the present season the game was surprisingly free from rough ness neither team being penal ized on this account only two penalties occurred in the game both happened when rutgers was near the lehigh go a l line and the scarlet team on a shift play from an unbalanced line drew a lehigh man off-side though the tension during the game was high the spirit and sportsmanship of the , crowds was at its best the only thing marring the game was the eag er crowds surging on the side lines during the second half de spite the activities of the too few policemen the rivalry has been growing between the two colleges and fine spirit displayed saturday lead some of the spectators who have followed the games in past years to hope that in the near future a triangular competition be tween rutgers lafayette and lehigh may come into being one of the innovations of the game was the new special police force these men were clad in light blue uniforms and were supplied by the pinkerton de tective agency of new york there were also plain clothes men supplied by the same source outside of the fact that the uniforms were very hand mr frank gamel of lowa addressed the freshmen at pack er hall on friday morning october 24 mr gamel has been in this vicinity for about a week delivering talks on the problems of a boy one of the most noteworthy of mr gamel's points was that of having no objective in view he illustrated this point with a good story about driving fast but not knowing where one is going mr gamel put a cro3s the theme of his talk very well by the word work he says that the aristocracy of the world is not made up of the people who live from the profits of the work er but the working classes themselves the world does not owe one a ilving but one owes the world the best and finest that one can put into it to make it a bet f or place for everyone else in this age the greatest thing to do to help the world along is to specialize in a certain line mr gamel proved this point by an other illustration about a partic ular place that he has visited where the same man was the bar ber butcher confectioner bak er and in f a ct this gentleman dabbled in everything that he knew anything about as a re sult he knew very little about any another thing that all college men should do is to grow big by growing big mentally a per son can do much more for hu manity than by being a small person anyone can become big by work the only reason that some persons never get past the small stage is because they a re afraid of work don't try to cover too much area because if a person does that he will be so thin in every place that he will not be noticed much the main difference be tween a river and a swamp is just this the river is deep has a current and h a s an objective where the swamp has no cur rent is a menace and a nuis ance and has no objective in view don't be a swamp one hundred years ago in lancaster ohio the town board would not sanction the laying of a railroad because they reasoned that the lord didn't intend peo ple to travel at the terrific speed of fifteen miles an hour or he would have m a de us so that we could go at that speed alone mr john mills of the western electric company gave a very interesting lecture in the physics building at four o'clock on thursday afternoon the lecture room was filled with students and members of the faculty a nd those who failed to attend the lecture missed a treat mr mills is giving his lecture at many of the technical schools throughout the country , he opened the lecture with an animated moving picture dia gram of an electric telephone cir cuit which showed exactly how the sound waves are transferred by the electric a l current his picture displayed a device where by a chart was plotted by means of light reflected by a prismatic mirror onto a screen the curves which resulted showed the va riations and relations existing between simple and complex sound waves mr mills then went into a talk on the choice oi a vocation he s a id the first re quisite is to eliminate attractions or prejudices which have arisen in the persons mind from the mere name of the career con sidered then by means of several dia grams he classified the varioua fields of endeavor into which college graduates might enter in a non-technic a l branch there are only four possible fields they deal with ideas things men or symbols he then show ed the very marked similarity be tween construction work and manufacturing although in the popular mind these fields are thought to be widely separated mr mills proved that the essen tial characteristics of the work are the s a me in each field in each field men and raw materials and capital are the factors that enter into the consideration continued on page 4 col 7 in the technical field the sub divisions a re many but these may roughly be classified into two groups the first group is that in which the engineer has an immense amount of technical detail and a small amount of su pervising work that is he is responsible for a large amount of technicality and has a small body of assistants uncle him in the second group the engineer has a large amount of supervis ing work and is responsible for a small amount of technical de tail that is he has a large corps of assistants and his technical work is small the speaker said that there are only three things which urge a man to make a suc cess of his career they are economics ambition and inter est in workmanship the lectur er then asked the assembly to decide in their own minds the relative importance of the va rious factors above the impor tance which each individual there never has been and there never will be as bosie reiter would say another smok er before a rutgers game as was held friday night midst smoke corn cob pipes bursts of music and more smoke all le high swore to defeat the worthy foe on the morrow from the first lusty yell until the last weary step of the cross city par ade lehigh spirits ran rampant bill springsteen w a s the first man to dope out the rutgers bat tle and he decared that it would be a game in which lehigh was matched against a one man team this modern hercules was none other than homer ha zel the two hundred a nd thirty pound backfield man of rutgers just as the brown and white stopped robertson of carnegie tech last year hazel must be stopped this year art cusick then revived the password of the lafayette game two years ago they shall not pass as coach of the freshman team he re minded the crowd of the fresh man-blair academy game to take place at the same time coach baldwin then proceed ed to spread the gloom he con tinued his usual policy of dispel ling overconfidence and made the statement that lehigh students should not expect too much from their team as their chances of winning were small due to in juries to so many of his men the hardest fight a brown and white te a m ever put up was all he could promise coach bald win then announced that there was to be a meeting of all the officials of both teams im mediately preceding the game in an effort to make the game as clean as possible the keynote of his whole talk was do not expect too much but pr a y for it just the same the secretary of the y m c a was the next man on the floor and mr trafford gave a clever little speech pleading for good sportmanship on the next day bozie reiter was the last man to take the floor and he pro ceeded to give an inspiring lec ture on psychology the back bone of his stirring talk was a plea for lehigh men to retain the three best things in college life namely the love of fight self assertion and the tender ness of emotion bosie received his usual comments from the gallery as bis eloquence cut its way through the clouds of smoke throughout the evening the entertaining features were a fencing exhibition between elliott 26 and austin 25 a wrestling match between poliska 26 and lewis 27 and a three round boxing bout be tween weinstein 26 and cohen 27 saturday the frosh gridmen returned home from blairstown new jersey with a well-earned and clearly gained 33-10 victory to their credit it was all the more a triumph for the year lings because of the record blair academy had previously made this season in defeating every team it had met the defeat of blair academy showed clearly the rapid development the freshmen squ a d has made in the hands of co a ch cusick as blair was one of the most formidable opponents that the freshmen had to deal with the marked improvement of the team in every department of the game as shown by their playing on saturday demonstrated beyond doubt that the frosh have a team of great possibilities the game w a s hotly contested but the frosh team soon found its opponents weak spots and made the most of them the yearlings piled up a total of thirty-three points before the final whistle blew the strong freshman offensive was probab ly the deciding factor of the game although scrap john son's squad was at times good in this department of the game the bl a ir outfit however was rather weak in the defensive and this combined with the smashing drives of the frosh gridmen enabled the frosh to bring home the bacon in the first half the freshmen scored three touchdowns and in the second two while the blair team made a placement kick in the first half of the game and carried the ball over for a touch down in the second half mul aney kicked the try for point three times for the freshmen a nd scored each time the back field consisting of hanz buck and mulaney starred by their masterly handling of the plays mulaney especially made some wonderful runs and scored three touchdowns hanz the quarter back scored the other two le high touchdowns one of the best features of the game was the fact that none of the fresh man team received any injuries judging from the freshman football squad as it stands now and from the work it has been doing there is in it promising varsity material for the future ; material which will have receiv ed valuable training by the time the freshman football season has ended the lehigh lineup

work-outs during the past week in preparation for this meet the entire lehigh squad went over to lafayette on friday and went over the course although the time records made were not revealed the coach seemed to be quite pleased with the results unfortunately captain porter h a s developed chicken pox and will be unable to run however in friday's trials several mem bers of the squad who have not run hitherto proved to be very promising material so his place will be well filled the lafay ette course is six and three tenths miles long and is quite difficult but this should not cause the lehigh harriers any difficulties out of the ordinary as they are accustomed to a long hard course on saturday following the la fayette meet the lehigh team will compete with muhlenberg the meet will be held
