standards set at the lehigh lacrosse team dropped its first game of the year to the exceptionally strong and fast navy team when the brown and white lined up against the future admirals at annapolis on saturday al tho the naval academy team took the game by the one-sid ed score of 8-1 the willow bearers from lehigh had the distinction of being the first team to score against the mid dies this year only last week the navy trampled lafayette by a 23-0 score so an 8-1 count is no disgrace the navy team depended up on team-work and good pass ing rather than on individual playing for its points they displayed a very strong attack especially in the first half and they also possessed a defense which was practically inpene trable it was not until late in the second half that wid dowfield was able to get thru and score a goal for lehigh con on page 4 col 3 there was never much doubt about the result of the game the navy started to score early in the first half and at the end of the first per iod the score stood 5-0 the brown and white team put up an unexpectedly strong defense during the entire game how ever which kept the seamen from running up a much larger score many substitutions were made both in the first and in the second halves as both professor esty lectures frosh lehigh trounces rutgers in b b sewage disposal discussed by c e's lehigh tennis men lose to navy sewerage

should re ceive a large attendance the mustard and cheese club completed a successful season with their return from a tour of philadelphia and newark on last friday morn ing the 1926 season was re markable not only for its un usually good production but be cause of the fact that it was the first season in which two performances were given in bethlehem and also the first season in which a tour includ ing two cities was made wednesday morning at ten o'clock the entire organization of mustard and cheese left for philadelphia about seventy five men were needed to put on the performance there includ ing the stage manager and his seven assistants who preceded the rest of the travelers by sev eral hours a special car was added to the train and an ex tra baggage car was used for the stage properties costumes etc upon arriving in phila the entire troupe was installed in the hotel sylvania where they made away with a meal of huge proportions and were divided into groups and assign ed rooms in the hotel a re hearsal was the next thing in order and this was held in the ball room of the bellevue strat ford in spite of the recent date of the closing of mask and wig one of the most famous of col lege dramatic organizations mustard and cheese had no trouble in entertaining the no toriously particular and effete immediately after the rehear sal preparations were made for the performance which was al so given at the bellevue strat ford the men had all been through the ordeal of a perfor mance on two previous occa sions and the experience gain ed was sufficient to insure the successful performance which became a reality when the cur tain went up at 8:30 con on page 4 col 5 tennis team to meet penn wed tigers humble frosh batsmen princeton outhits outgen erals plebes in easy victory perm's strong team offers stiff opposition in mid week meet the brown and white tennis team suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of na vy last saturday losing by the close score of 5-4 the margin of victory was so close as to cast no discredit on the home team for navy has a well bal anced squad lehigh won two of the six singles and two of the three doubles and was evi dently handicapped in that they were not in as good condition as the navy team this may be accounted for by the fact that the weather dur ing the past week was so poor that only about one day was fit for the brown and white men to secure practice the team was somewhat shaken up for this meet and the order was radically chang ed although the personnel of the team remained unchanged the biggest upset of the day was the victory of lyman over sullivan the lehigh ace this match was a big surprise and the lehigh man was decidedly off his game however he stag ed a comeback in the doubles and paired with mcfadden easily won out mcfadden and miller playing number two and three respectively were both defeated although miller's scores were close trumbull in the number four position and doty playing number five scored lehigh's only victories in the singles as liversidge was defeated in the sixth position while this showing was not so good it was only because of the slightly erratic play of the brown and white men due to the lack of practice that caused this result con on page 3 col 7 in the doubles lehigh met with greater success it is rather a coincidence that each lehigh man had a hand in win the student branch of the a s c e held their regular monthly meeting on friday evening april 23 in the phy sics lecture room the meet ing was opened at 8:00 p m by president shepperd

the water bu reau of the city of easton mr andrews talk was on the design and installation of a sewerage system in the city of easton probably the most important problem that confronts a grow ing village is the proper dis posal of waste commonly known as sewerage proper disposal of this waste is essen tial to the health of the com munity for many years this problem was taken care of in the lehigh valley by simply digging cisterns and draining all the waste matter into them this was made possible by the geological formations in this region which is essentially limestone and abounds in caves and caverns hence in such cities as allentown bethlehem and easton it was only neces sary to sink a cistern into one of these caverns and drain all waste matter underground but of later years the rapid growth of these cities made such means of waste disposal con on page 3 col 3 the lehigh freshman base ball club journeyed to prince ton last saturday and received a drubbing from the home

the subject of electrical engineering at the freshman orientation lecture last thurs day professor esty gave a brief scope of what is going on in the electrical field in his talk he told how the principal industries of electrical engin eering are very much subdivid ed into a great many branches and applications and that each one of them was developing so rapidly that it was impossible for them to keep up with the demand several hundreds of high school students were also present at the lecture besides the freshmen engineers the speaker at the outset of his talk gave a definition of electrical engineering he cit ed a number of the fields open to electrical engineers today he tofiched on the matter of electrical communication giv ing among many examples the telegraph the wireless and the radio telephone the man ufacture design construction testing and operation of elec trical machinery were also cited it was stated that in gen eral the field consisted in ev ery transmission of energy and its utilization in form of mo tors and other various appli cations the field is very prog ressive and is growing by leaps and bounds as things are ( dev eloping day by day since 1910 the output of electrical stations has grown six-fold and the to tal output for stations last year is estimated at sixty billion kil owatt-hours the central sta tion industry is way below the saturation point of public de mand and will continue to be so as has been estimated for 1 5 con on page 4 col 6 in a loosely played game the lehigh baseball team mauled the rutgers nine by a 15-5 score dietrich starting his first game for the brown and white was very effective until the final frame when with a fifteen run lead he eased up and the new brunswick team scored five runs the lehigh sluggers pound ed wolff for fourteen singles which came at opportune times these timely bingles coupled with ten errors proved to be the decisive margin in the last three innings the brown and white batsmen scored thir teen of their fifteen runs three bases on balls and an infield error in the fourth in ning was sufficient to score le high's first run in the follow ing frame a run was scored by hayes who singled and then ad vanced on a passed ball and an error in the last three in nings lehigh scored practically at will as base hit after base hit rang out rutgers scored on a base on balls two singles and two home runs but this last minute rally proved to be futile mullaney covering the initial sack was the outstanding player for le high and thru his effective playing many of rutgers scor ing attempts were repelled dietrich was an enigma to the scarlet batters the summary — lehigh con on page 3 col 2 bethlehem pa tuesday april 27 1926 mustard & cheese scores success on trip stage is set
