its first game of the season which was played saturday afternoon on the newly-dedicated memorial field of gettysburg college le high found itself continuously pressed to wrest a 7-7 tie from the aggressive battlefield team except in the fourth quarter lehigh was excelled throughout the game in every department save that of punting where she held a decided advantage while gettysburg kept the brown and white on the defense during the first half the super ior punting of hess and hayes enabled lehigh to hold its stub born opponents in check so successfully was this advantage worked that gettysburg never got within lehigh's thirty yard line with the ball until late in the second quarter when an in tercepted pass gave gettysburg the ball following up its break by a series of forward passes and line plunges gettys burg was able to send stumpf across for the first score less than two minutes before the half ended it was not until the fourth quarter that lehigh displayed anything like its traditional fighting spirit but when that spirit was finally aroused get tysburg crumbled before the re lentlessness of the brown and white advance as salt dissolves in water taking the ball on a punt on its own twenty-one yard line lehigh marched seventy eight yards on five successive first downs to its own two and fill board vacancies band opens season on founder's day early printers art a great pep meeting was held last thursday at 11 30 at the flag-pole on the campus le high spirit entered into the cheers and speeches and songs in a way that augurs well for the opening of the football sea son the main purpose was to give the term a rousing send off and to get as many men as possible to go to gettysburg for the game the arcadia conducted the meeting with bell in charge scooty mccance started things off with a couple of le high songs and then coach wendell was asked to speak wendell's remarks were char acteristically short and to the point he said in part that the team is light this year and will need more speed and spirit than before this spirit is necessary and it is up to the men behind the team to furnish this backing but at the same time he prom ises that the student body will have ample reason to be proud v of the team and its captain hoddy merrill hoddy spoke next and made a short plea for whole liearted support of the team and spoke of how hard it will be to play four games away from the home field w r okeson gave the us ual okey speech he made a magnificent appeal to the men of lehigh to make football their major interest this fall to go but for the team if possible and to live breathe and dream football as okey put it as he said sometimes the man who is green to the game is welcom ed more than the man who has played before because the inex perienced player has nothing to unlearn under wendell's sys tem every man has the chance he deserves if ever this is to be lehigh's year against lafay ette with both schools creating n new teams out of the student body and with every lehigh man urging the team to victory lehigh should come through the winner this year con on page 5 col 6 two new yells the 4 l yell and the sing yell were

incunabula and oth er early printed books as an opening for the new college year nine incunabulum volumes printed from 1472 to 1500 are displayed they are thomas aquinas 1472 julius solinus 1473

first book print ed in europe the mazarin bible 1455 it is a beautiful piece of printing with rubrication in green and red one of the most beautiful although exhibiting better form than last year the booters representing the brown and white squad were forced to take the bitter dose of defeat last saturday when they lined up against the bethlehem wan derers on the upper field in addition to their change of form the collegians did what they have been unable to do in each of the five previous encounters with the wanderers they smeared the whitewash streak which the wanderers have been applying consistently when they scored twice in the third period the final result was four to two as is typical of their style of play the visitors started with a rush and tallied early in the in itial canto they added one more encounter in each of the final three quarters with a shut out staring them in the face coach carpenter's proteges rallied and scored their markers in the third period when ul mer who had been substituted for hague netted a pretty kick from the corner and nevins made a penalty kick con on page 3 col 5 the homesters were outclass ed throughout and had it not been for the great work of nevins the score would have been larger capt mercur and his men were on the defensive at all times schmaltz roehl and young were outstanding factors for the victory of their team following a week of regular practice the lehigh band is get ting well into shape all con siderations of equipment have by now been settled and the various parts of the band have been selected and arranged to give the best effect a good deal of shifting has taken place par ticularly in the ranks of the saxophone players since there are plenty of these and not enough of other reed instru ment players so far two new marches have been rehearsed captain an derson and the southerner george d long the leader of the organization has arrange ments of the alma mater and the touchdown song for the band which have also been prac ticed the first appearance of the band will be on founder's day when it will play the alma mat er and a few marches it will of course be on hand at the game on saturday cross-country is gradually getting under way due to the ac tive efforts of coach kanaly and manager freeman but the team is badly handicapped thru lack of varsity material and lack of managerial candidates without a decided increase in the number of varsity candi dates the veterans can never have sufficient competition to de velop the best possible team to represent lehigh in the season's meets the schedule this fall is an unusually hard one and in cludes several good trips so that anyone who makes the team will be amply rewarded managerial candidates are al so desired to report as soon as possible to manager freeman there are only three men in the competition at present the squad has been working but the past week in two separ ate units the new men have working out under the direction of coach kanaly
