foul shot and two goals into a very short time the smaller schaub was the sensation of the eve ning with his clever shooting and was easily high point man lehigh started in the game with a fast attack with c schaub smith and weinstein doing the scoring and fifteen points were amassed before rutgers found that they too had a goal rob erts opened their scoring by shooting in a long one but at best

the faculty cast aside their usual dignity for the evening and entered into the spirit of the affair with a heartiness that would hve done credit to a class of freshmen so it was in most respects a typical lehigh func tion with the exception of the usual stags who were conspic uous by their absence one of the special features of the evening was a dance in which cards were distributed among the men and women the men's cards had on them the name of the moving picture ac tor they were supposed to be and the name of the actress who was to be their partner for the dance while the women's cards had the name of the actress she was supposed to be and the name of the actor who was to be her partner consequently there was much confusion and con on page 3 col 6 lieut benjamin h rigg of the united

speaker of the oc casion at the college meeting of last week on the 1 4th in addi tion to tilden's speech there was a slight discussion of college af fairs and announcements bell mentioned several topics which the arcadia has been dis cussing the first had to do with the first college sing of the year which was held on sun day afternoon ; the second had to do with campus traffic reg ulations this has become ne cessary since as bell said the number of men tearing around the campus in ten-dollar fords at thirty-five an hour is such as to make fatal accidents a daily possibility since the brakes on many of these automobiles are faulty if not fictitious the plan as outlined by the arcadia is to make every car owner con nected with the university car ry a tag or license issued by the arcadia and have all traffic vi olations of a serious nature re ported to a committee consisting of three representatives two from the student body and one from the faculty this com mittee would be empowered to revoke licenses and impose fines the plan is still tentative the most important question discussed was the faculty col lection of class dues and the ar cadia fees with the consent of the student body of course a con on page 4 col 2 the first college sing of the year was held in drown hall sunday afternoon under the au spices of the y m c a and embellmed with fooj furnish ed by the
