managerial berths in football and soccer are to be voted upon threatens to become a reality this coming friday at 11 a m the meeting hinges upon the question of whether or not the board of control rati fies the six names three for football and three for soccer that are to be placed before them this week earlier in the season the foot ball letter men selected their choices for the position of foot ball assistant manager and the letter men in soccer meet this afternoon in the trophy room of the gymnasium to vote upon their selections these men will probably be presented before the student body at the college meeting and the order in which they poll the students vote will determine the position they re ceive by way of example : the man placing first in the student vote automatically becomes as sistant manager in his junior year and subsequently manager in his senior year the candi date who polls the second high est will bjeggme manager of the freshman team and the third man will be assistant manager it is generally understood that in the soccer competition where there is no freshman team and consequently but two to be se lected the candidate gaining third place in the student vote is automatically eliminated from the competition on wednesday evening jan uary 21 the muhlenberg basket ball team will play the lehigh five at taylor gym the muh lenberg team will come to beth lehem with a very good record for up to the present time the only team that defeated them was princeton the tiger arid the moravian teams were the only two that played muhlen berg which were on the lehigh schedule in the former case coach wood's men had a better score against their opponents than had the lehigh cage five the best offensive work that is being done on the muhlenberg team is probably that of griggs the tall center he is quite an effective point scorer and will no doubt cause some trouble the defensive work of borelli and clymer has been an out standing feature in all their games while the five man defen sive system is said to have worked quite well in their games although a hard game is look ed forward to the lehigh team expects to come through with another victory the work pi the team has been of a good cal ibre and no doubt they will display good form when they meet the allentonians in their annual clash the frosh quintet lost a close game on saturday january 16 uo the wyoming seminary bas ketball squad by the score of 29 o 21 the game was played at wyoming a fast game from otart to finish th«re was prac wically no individual starring on either side the frosh in par ticular showed a fine brand of team work which at many ames surpassed the more seas oned brand of playing display ed by the wyoming cagemen although there was little of die sensational in the game it was full of interest to the last as the teams were well balanced the outcome was in doubt until the final whistle when wyoming had an eight point lead part of the freshman defeat was probably due to the fact that too many long shots at the basket were attempted during the game captain billmeyer and zerbe were badly crippled this was another unfortunate fea ture contributing to the frosh's defeat * •• it is certain that on saturday the frosh cagemen were not up to the standard of playing they set a week ago however much improvement may be expected after exams as the prsfctices from now on will be aimed at smoothing out the present de ficiencies and rough points inspiring address heard at y meeting effect of ecupse at bethlehem yearling tankmen overcome

twenty-two chap ters in the book which deal with every phase of the institution iilach chapter covers only a few pages but as each one is de voted strictly to one subject it can easily be realized

development of football at the institution it also de scribes the bach festival and alumni and class days there is quite a description of football activities at lehigh just after they were started by

trustees and of the outstanding profes sors in the history of the uni versity as soon as the word history is mentioned many people are apt to lose interest even though this book is essentially a history it is written in such a manner so as to make it very interest ing to the most profound hater of histories only a thousand copies have been printed and a few are on sale at the supply bureau in

his bout to edwards by the small margin of one minute and three seconds levitz has been suffering from a cold the past week and no doubt this was a handicap latrobe and slaven of the navy showed up especially well in the 135 and 115 pound classes respectively this was the first taste of competition for both men and they had little trouble in defeating their men latrobe won from poliska of lehigh by a fall which was incidentally the first fall scored by a navy man this year slaven took his bout from reed t>y the most de cisive time of the meet he was especially aggressive but was unable to

minutes at one stage of the bout he secured the head lock by which he has won so of ten but best managed to slip out of it the try-outs for the wrestling team were an interesting event at the gym during the past week and the amount of inter est being taken by the students in this sport was shown by the way in which the wrestling room has been crowded during these try-outs for the team sev eral of the lehigh men are showing up well and are expect ed to develop into wrestlers who will make a creditable showing during the present season the present schedule is an at tractive one and includes perm state and a home meet with yale the bout with navy at annapolis was the first meet of the year the summary of saturday's contest is 115 pounds slaven navy de feated reed by a time of 7 33 125

to capture a first place by win ning the 100 breast stroke most of the times were slow but this may be accounted for by the fact that there was not enough opposition in the vari ous events to push the lehigh natators to their best speed and they were also saving them selves for the events that fol lowed considering that this was the first meet for the lehigh swim mers and the short time they have had for practice coach hal gulick is quite optimis tic for a winning team this year due to final examinations the swimming team will lay off com petition until february 7 when they meet catholic

staged in new jersey on saturday the tenth the sec ond game was played last fri day at bethlehem on the floor of the taylor gymnasium the victory was secured by a smaller margin than the first game and in addition it was much more poorly played lehigh scored the first points of the game and ran up its to tal to a dozen before rutgers secured its initial two pointer from then on the visitors show ed greater scoring ability and ran up their total to twelve to eighteen for lehigh at the end of the first half the guarding was very close and this acted a3 a check on the play of the le high team which has been ac complishing its greatest work up until now on splendid pass ing the second half showed the rutgers team forging to the lead in the scoring when the second half was about ten min utes old they had done little but at this time e schaub was forc ed out of the game by personal fouls from then on the visi tors gradually decreased the lead by the time the final whis tle sounded they had scored ten points in the second half to eight for lehigh but luckily the lead obtained by the brown and white men in the initial half was sufficient to take the game captain hess smith and gal lagher made the majority of the points for their team the steady and dependable work of schaub and weinstein while not so self evident was really the stronghold of the team the game was filled with flashes of briliant play but the contest as a whole was not entirely all that might be desired the game was very well refereed and few things missed the attention of the officials the next game will be with

time mr malm is secretary for sherwood eddy who spoke here last year while attending the university of pennsylvania mr malm prob ably had more influence on the undergraduates than any one man has had for a long time after hearing mr malm's in spiring address it was easy to see the influence this man would have over those who are fortun ate enough to hear him often one of the outstanding facts which the speaker emphasized was that character is the basis of all human enterprise with out it an undertaking or busb ness cannot be really success ful in most cases of decay or degeneration the
