game rutgers always has a formid able tank team and this year is no exception the only institu tion to defeat rutgers during the past three years has been the navy this and the fact that the rutgers

upon whom rutgers will depend for a victory over lehigh saturday lehigh will depend upon the same men who have so ably carried the colors during the present season to turn in a win for the brown and white on saturday con on page 3 col 6 the first meeting of the al exander hamilton club held this term on wednesday evening consisted of a reorganization of the club and a round table dis cussion on china and the pow ers led by t e robinson one of the most important steps in the reorganization was the election of officers of the club from the junior members those elected were : c l smith president f h wilhelm vice president n h smeltzer trea the swimming pool in taylor gymnasium has been closed for the remainder of the school year this decision was reach ed by president richards last tuesday after a conference with members of the faculty who are particularly interested in the condition of the pool the principal consideration leading to this action is the lack of visibility which increases to a marked degree the possibility of drowning or other accidents the large number of students now enrolled in the university and the increasing interest in swimming have made this dan ger a much greater problem than it was even a year or two ago this condition has been under consideration several times in the past year and mea sures for its relief have been attempted the lack of visibility seems to be dependent on two tactors — the dark color of the bottom and sides of the pool and the tur bidity of the water many dif ferent kinds of paint and enam el have been tried but none has been found which would not turn dark in a very short time the turbidity seems to be due to the fact that the present fil ters are unable to efficiently re move the foreign matter which is bound to accumulate in a pool used by so great a number of individuals and in an atmos phere so heavily laden with dust the lehigh pool was con structed at a time when the number of students was less than half the present enroll ment and the air was not so heavily charged with foreign matter from industrial opera tions con on page 4 col 5 last week an expert in swim ming pool construction and senior m e

famous artists of the period as the character about whom he wished to speak particularly while da vinci's claim to an en during fame is not based upon a great volume of paintings those four or five which are best known today will probably secure for him always a high rank among the artists of the renaissance prof brown re ferred during the course of his address to the more famous works of da vinci particularly to his mona lisa last supper virgin of the rocks virgin and saint anne and portrait of ce celia gallerani many of the reported stories about the artist were discount ed by prof brown who pointed out that there were no evidenc es of leonardo having been a precocious youth on the con trary prof brown claimed that the life and works of the paint er showed unmistakeable signs of neglected education the in terest which da vinci as a youth had for nature birds and horses gave him a perfect understanding of those subjects so that today his painting bat tle of the standard the

place captain bannister of the le high frosh did exceptionally well he not only took first place in the 50 yard swim but also in the 100 yard breast stroke event he was also a member of the relay team which won its race handily not only are his firsts very good but his time for the 50 yard swim is exceptionally fast and even more credit is due him when one considers that he participated in three
