last saturday when gettysburg journeyed here the brown and white team showed most en couraging form in comparison with the first game played at frequent intervals on saturday lehigh revealed a real fighting team and it is certain that be fore the season is much older a successful combination will result perhaps the most noticeable part of the game with gettys burg on saturday was the marked improvement of the le high team over its showing against st john's at times during the game it seemed as if the fighting power which has made the brown and white fa mous in the days of yore was returning but at the critical moments the team refused to hold this may have been due to the wonderful offense of the up-state team for they undoub tedly had a better attack than lehigh in tuckey and spang ler the visitors had two men who would do credit to a much larger school but lehigh was not outclass ed the team displayed team work fighting power and at times an offensive punch but their lack of experience in working together and their in ability to play consistently and to rise in order to meet the crises told heavily against them hayes and hand did some very good playing and were especially effective in an open field zahnow also showed up well in his initial perfor mance the line revealed im provement also although there were several weak points thru which the g-burgers gained

furnish entertainment as a pre liminary to the traditional founder's day an informal dance will be given at drown hall to which the entire stu dent body is invited in the past a dance on the evening before founder's day has been a marked success and it is hoped that with the announce ment that there will be no classes the following day this year's social event will prove to be a huge success from the standpoint of attendance and social spirit shown freshmen curfew rules are off for the evening and the yearlings are expected to be present in great numbers as a showing of their spirit and sup

last so a large attendance at tonight's affair will encourage the hold ing of dances more frequently last sunday morning compe tition opened for candidates for the editorial board of the brown and white as there were only about thirty odd men out for the competition there is still opportunity for many more men to signify their in tention of competing for the much sought honor of the as sociate editorships competition will be in full swing for a period of six weeks and therefore delay of a day or so in entering will make lit tle or no difference upon making the board everyone has an equal chance in making the assistant editorships the man aging editorship and finally the exalted position of edi tor-in-chief here is a golden opportunity for men to step into cam pus activities there are twelve positions open for fresh men and sophomores — an un usual number — thus affording ample chance for at least one hundred men to compete it has been noticed that few fra ternity men have shown their intention of writing for the brown and white perhaps it was due to the fact that the meeting was called for sunday morning at any rate compe tition is still open for everyone as was stated in a previous edition whether or not a man makes the board the exper ience so gained is invaluable previous experience is unneces sary men are taught the pre requisites of journalistic writ ing and to

of gettysburg most of her opponents of the future were having successful days in fact every team but one whom we play this year won its game saturday and in many cases they did so by very large scores in view of this fact it becomes more apparent that lehigh must soon strike its in evitable victorious stride if the season is to be a success lafayette again gave evi dence of her strength by over whelming schuylkill 47 to 0 schuylkill failed to register a single first down and was com pletely outclassed by the grid ders from easton the lafay ette defense was especially strong for they forced the vis itors back 30 yards on three at tempts when they had the ball in a position to score brown lehigh's opponent next saturday showed much improvement over the previous week by trouncing colby 35

college meeting of the year was held last thurs day in packer hall the meet ing had originally been schedul ed to take place at the flag pole but due to the rain it was changed to packer hall it was found that the hall was too small to hold the entire col lege and many students who wished to attend were unable to do so the meetings will probably have to be held in a larger auditorium in the
