ed here in the spring of 1923 by the arcadia and has been repeated twice since on these occasions the general approval of the purpose and spirit shown was such that it has been de cided to set aside a day for this purpose each year con on page 3 col 1 ) the program has not as yet been decided but the speakers will be men who know lehigh and lehigh men every effort the saturday which has been set aside for this event will be on the one day of the year when the dads will be wel comed officially by both the faculty and the student body alike the committee of the arcadia is planning to make this day one of the biggest ev ents in the entire year patronized by more than four hundred students and their friends the founder's day hop proved to be one of the most successful early-season dances ever held in drown hall the unexpectedly large atten dance may be attributed in part at least to the fact that no classes were held on foun der's day so that lessons could be relegated to an insignificant place for this one evening then too the lifting of the ban under which the frosh had been living was another benefit but whatever causes may have con tributed to increasing the crowd it was the fine character of the entertainment itself which won those who were present con on page 3 col 5 many more elaborate func tions have secured a less fav orable verdict at the hands of a particular patronage

with the bruins marks the third successive hard tus<]e in one of the hardest schedules that the bethlehem gridders have ever undertaken the provi dence collegians will show an offensive much superior to ei ther of the teams encountered thus far this season by cap tain littell and his men since the game with gettys burg last saturday lehigh foot ball stock has taken the looked for rise because of the fact that the brown and white im proved so much over the exhi bition witnessed in the stadium when st john's was encoun tered the supporters of the team are hopefully expecting the same relative improvement prior to the brown game last saturday the team showed something of the fighting spir it which must carry them through a hard season but the punch that takes the ball over the last few yards was lacking the students are looking for the team to acquire the power which will give them a fight ing chance against the power ful brown eleven as shown by brown's game con on page 3 col 2

nected with lacrosse at lehigh as an assistant coach con on page 3 col 6 as lacrosse is a major sport at lehigh there is every reason to believe that an unlimited training for the lacrosse men of 1927
