first and only tally the work of garrett the perkiomen pitcher was the fea ture of the game his airtight pitching forced lehigh to be content with only four scatter ed hits an error made by one of his teammates was all that saved the freshmen from suf fering a shut-out line-up : lehigh runs lehigh 1 ; perkiomen 9 hits lehigh 4 ; perkiomen 11 . base on balls off wilson 2 ; hesse 1 ; garrett 2 wild pitch hesse two base hit ob erholtzer home runs umholtz connell struck out by wilson 2 hesse 1 ; roe 3 garrett 2 heavy slugging coupled with masterful pitching by their star hurler enabled villanova

victory was the outstanding lehigh achievement score was 8-1 annual meeting last thursday night in the physics lecture room the en gineers club of the lehigh valley section of the american chemical society held its monthly meeting which was combined with the regular meeting of the lehigh univer sity chemical society the main part of the meeting was devoted to a lecture by mr ful weiler of phila with the sub ject coal processing the main object of coal pro cessing as the lecturer point ed out is the production of gas and the various types of pro ducers necessary for this were shown by mr fulweiler point ing out the relative advantages and disadvantages of each he showed a table giving the per centages of gas tar ammonia etc produced from different grades of coal at different tem peratures the relative merits of high and low temperature were discussed from the stand point of the products desired efficiency and economy that there is a real distinction be tween the last two is shown by the fact that low temperature processing which is very effi cient and gets the highest pos sible yield of by-products is industrially uneconomical since there is very little if any mar ket for the products of that process there is a large fu ture in that field however high temperature processing since the market for its products is well developed is more econo mical although less efficient con on page 2 col 3 a very important point brought out was the produc tion of gasoline from coal this has been done successfully in germany by means of a hydro genation process using a cata

of railroad engineering at le high gave a very interesting address on the history of devel opment of that branch of engin eering his talk was very in teresting and was greatly en joyed by the members of the club the principal part of the talk was as follows at one time engineering was divided into military and civil military being the older but there is a probability that min ing came first which would make civil engineering the old the romans in caesar's time about 50 b c built roads con necting their conquered coun tries with their own remains of these roads are found in many parts of europe and in england some of these roads are still in use but it is a ques tion as to whether they were built primarily for military or commercial purposes civil engineering is a very broad title and is connected with all construction even mil itary and is becoming more and more divided into special ties such as surveying railroad location and construction high ways bridges dams water sup ply etc the
