call for lacrosse candidates a short practice was held on the up per field and many of the men showed up well for the first prac tice of the year there are quite a few men out who did not come out for lacrosse last year on ac count of having too much work and it can be seen that some of these men have quite a little la crosse ability so that the prospects for this year's team are somewhat brighter than they were a few weeks ago when it was made known that some of last year's men intended to leave college quite a few of the candidates are of the freshman class and it is thought that some good material can be picked from this class as some of the men have had quite a little ex perience in playing the game as was shown by the stick work used on the field in practice of last year's team lehigh still retains the following men : — ■ cap tain jay speed hartdegen ray nor buck and perkins dunn 12 captain of the 1911 lacrosse team has returned to college and his presence will greatly

continued on second page m e meet tiie 1914 epitome will be in many ways a notable departure from the publications of former years the greatest change lies in the combination with the senior class book this year no separate class book will be published and the material that usually appeared in that book will be given a place at the head of the list of classes about ninety pages will be devoted to the senior class here will be printed individual photographs of each member of the class with a short sketch of each man and a list of his college honors at the end of this a number of pictures will appear the class ballot and other material which has hereto fore been published in the class book the next most notable change is that the book is of a different size from previous years having a somewhat larger page the size which has been adopted is the stan dard one in which almost all col lege publications appear the change was made with the idea of setting a new standard one in which a page of printed matter would make up more easily in recognition of the successful foot-ball season of last fall the foot-ball section is being featured individual pictures of the various players will be printed together with a short sketch of the man an effort has been made to secure a greater number of pictures of foot ball games ; and quite a nmber of pictures have been obtained a new arrangement of the book has been adopted throughout and it is the hope of the board that the book will prove an agreeable sur prise to the student-body in view of the fact that a larger book is being issued and to defray the in creased cost of publication the price has been raised from a dollar and a half to two dollars an effort is also being made to place the future epitome boards
