three great influ ences the first was the intense su perstition of the people the sec ond was roman militarism and atheism and the third was the ex treme ritualism of the jewish peo ple these conflicting conditions caused great mental stuggles for saul he later witnessed the ston ii.'g of the christian martyrs stephen saul was now convinced of the course he should follow con vinced against his will he rebelled but on his wav to damascus his spirit was broken and peace soon t'.ok the place of the earlier con flicts the speaker rapidly touched upon saul's conversion and later efforts to establish christian churches which were apparently very unsuccessful mr grant has traveled exten sively in palestine and other places of biblical interest the fellows greatly appreciated his address mr clayton cooper addressed the students at the regular associa tion meeting on sunday evening february 5 he is at the head of the bible study movement for colleges in north america in his opening remarks he gave an account of the work at the lead ing colleges in the country thirty thousand students are engaged in this work — almost double the en rollment of a year age no branch of college work is of more importance to a student than a study of the bible the reasons as mr cooper gave them are two fold first it is an essential part of a student's education to have an intelligent knowledge of the bible ihis becomes especially necessary in literary studies to appreciate the many biblical allusions second it is vital in the formation of charac iter as such a conscientious study of the bible reveals the weak places in one's life it enables the student to know his inner self \ general secretary edmonds an nounced that there were two hun aren men in bible stud at lehigh as a result of mr cooper's very forceful talk the policy of the asso ciation will be to add another hun dred in a few days to this great movement prof r w blake lectured in easton last friday afternoon vol xn lehigh university south bethlehem pa tuesday february 7 1905 y m c a two addresses made the brown and white no 32 the new laboratory yale defeats lehigh score 28=21 scrappy and rough game the third of a series of nine bas ket ball games which was played in the gymnasium on saturday night between yale and the home team vias marked by brilliant work on lehigh's part in the first half and much rough playing by both teams rockwell as guard using his fam ous foot ball tactics in blocking le high's throws lehigh was handicapped by the fact that the game fell at the end of examination week despite the fact that regular practices were lield during this week the men were not able to be in as regular attend ance a 9 usual consequently the en durance of the team was not up to its usual standard in addition to this one of the forwards trout man had been ill for a week before the game and his playing although xcellent,naturally suffered as a re sult of it at the beginning of the first half lehigh started with a rush and suc ceeded in scoring three points be fore y'-de first caged the ball the game now promised to be an excit ing one and the playing soon aroused considerable enthusiasm in the large audience lehigh's pass ing during the first half was short and snappy while yale's long pas 5 was of little avail berg and pierce played exceptionally well noticabl in the careful goal throwing anh mcmullen troutman and ander son kept the new haven boys well covered throughout the first half giving them little chance for field throws the attempts at goals from fouls were many as a result of the rough playing but the number of pcints made by barber and pierce was few at the end of the first half the score was lehigh 13 ; yale 9 when the teams came on the floor for the second half it was no ticed that carter had taken rock well's place as guard hyatt going to centre during the half hyatt played the best game of the evening and succeeded in adding many points to the yale score the use of the long pass by the new haven team while not successful at first now seemed to put the lehigh boys at a disadvantage and the yale team was able to reduce lehigh's lead notwithstanding the excellent offen sive play of pierce and troutman i rough playing on both sides caused many fouls and gave free throws to both teams nearly every one of which was converted into a point for the yale score it is a no ticable fact that the game vhich 1 yale played against pennsylvania was similar in all of its stages to the game of saturday night the ability to score on the part of the lehigh team was sufficiently dem onstrated in the first half but en durance like that of the yale team was lacking in our men as may be inferred from the final score of yale 2s lehigh 21 line-up : yale lehigh
