course tonight chorus progressing other sections taken meet should be fast glee club list probably the most brilliant event on the social calendar for the house party will be the sophomore cotillion dance to be held friday evening in the gymnasium dancing will be continuous from nine o'clock till two o'clock with syncopa tion furnished by polk's pirates and the great white fleet or chestra the success of the dance is assured the sophomore cotillion has always been one of the foremost social events at lehigh ranking in importance with the junior prom and the senior hop this year pains have been taken to make the cotillion even a great er success than it has been in previous years if this could be possible since the members of the cot illion club have just been elect ed they have not yet had time to organize so the general house-party committee has made all the arrangements for this dance permission has been giv en to the freshmen to attend the cotillion as they have not had sufficient time to arrange an affair of their own this breaks a precedent of former years which reserved the cotil lion for the three upper classes con on page 4 col 3 in previous years all social events have been held in drown hall but realizing that it was inadequate for a dance of this the second lehigh valley football classic will be staged in taylor stadium on saturday afternoon when the brown and white warriors clash with the representatives of muhlenberg college muhlenberg went to easton on september 26 and gave lafayette the scare of their lives by holding them to a 20-14 victory so the coming game promises to be far from the easy game which some have imagined it will be the last of the three local classics of course is the lehigh-lafayette strug gle which will take place in tay lor stadium on november 21 just what the outcome of the lehigh-muhlenberg game will be is largely a matter of con jecture but there is no doubt that the spectators who witness the game will see a real fight when the two rival teams oppose each other muhlenberg is pin ning its faith in nick borelli star back and is confident of taking home the bacon although even they realize that will not be the easiest job they have ev er undertaken on the other hand lehigh is just as deter mined to keep that choice piece of meat right here in bethle hem and thereby hangs the struggle although lehigh's defeat of rutgers last saturday was sweet it was also expensive for harmon guard received an injury to his arm which will con on page 3 col 2 grid schedule for 26almostcomplete alpha kappa psi held

will take place was gleaned from action taken by the board of control on mon day by which it was decided to have the cheering section in section f and g in the south stands these are the same sec tions that have been in use for this purpose throughout the season for the past several years the cheering section has always been moved down at least to h and g and the fact that sections will remain un changed should meet with the approval of the students it is likely that the first choice seats for students will be in one of the adjoining sections but this has not as yet been definitely decided other action taken by the board at this meeting was the ratification of two games for the football scrubs one will be with kutztown normal school at home on november 14 and the other will be with allentown prep away on november 20 a committee was appointed to determine practical methods for the adminstration of the newly acquired steel field after it will have been taken over the per sonnel of

as wilbur scholar for this year the local authorities have been busy during the past few weeks arranging a football sche dule for the fall of 1926 the results of these efforts seem to indicate that lehigh will have one of the most attractive sche dules ever arranged for a brown and white team of course at this early date the de finite schedule cannot be finally announced but it has progressed somewhat beyond the tentative stage in that several of the games are assured and others depend principally upon details four of the teams which are fixtures in every brown and white schedule will again be in cluded they are gettysburg muhlenberg rutgers and la fayette the first three to be played at home swarthmore is being consid ered as an early season game be fore the gettysburg game but it
