obsta cle in the path of lehigh's promis ing quintet when on friday even ing they met the brown and white team in the local gymnasium the score of 41 to 19 does not indicate a walk-over although the victory at no time during the game appeared very doubtful from the first to the last loyola played a hard con sistent game with the odds against them lehigh at passing was clear ly superior to the visitors and at shooting was more fortunate mut hart and white caged several re markable shots at difficult angles loyola started well when the game was called at 7.45 and took the lead after a minute or so of play shortly afterward on cole's field goal lehigh forged ahead and was never headed the score at the end of the first half stood 27 to 12 in favor of lehigh the second half was a repetition of the first although the scoring was con siderably less green and cole were replaced by price and berg during the half muthart furthered his reputation at foul-goal shooting out of twelve attempts seven of them were successful schenrich for loyola played a star game at for ward and himself made twelve of the nineteen points credited to his team he scored six of these on foul goals out of thirteen attempts at the basket one fact that was brought out quite clearly during the game and which adds to the credit of loy ola's playing was the strength of lehigh's defense which was almost impregnable as a result of this the ball was kept in play for the most part in loyola's territory the line-up : — lehigh pos loyola crichton f schenrich white f joyce muthart c cook green g walsh cole

a very well attended meeting of the y m c a on sunday ev ening rev a d thaeler pastor of the moravian church chose for his subject giving the church a square deal his talk was force ful and to the point he gave three well-defined reasons why the church should be given a square deal or in other words should be given a chance to explain its doc trines his first reason was : that there was an indefinable something in all men that prompted them to attend church and secondly that college men who are striving with the best of intentions to become leaders a mong men should have a higher knowledge higher thinking powers to see and be able to argue with themselves that the church is do ing good rev thaeler lay stress on the church's creed which he said was most abused and con demned as unfit and improper for the advancing world he likened the creed to a bannister on a stair-case in going up the stairs in the dark one naturally tries to grip the rail as a guidance to his footsteps the creed bears the same relation to the world's prog ress he argued strongly that in order to give the church a square deal people should attend one church only and not try a differ ent one each

horse-power anthracite suction gas producer will be made in the near future this producer was purchased a few weeks ago and is expected to arrive at any time the relation between the gas pro ducer and the gas engine is some what similar to the relation be tween the steam boiler and the steam engine each transforms the chemical energy stored in coal into a suitable form for direct use in an engine the boiler delivers steam which drives a steam engine principally by direct expansion the gas pro ducer furnishes a gas which drives a gas engine by combustion in the engine cylinder the efficiency of the producer is about 75 per cent against 65 per cent for the steam boiler the interior of this producer is exposed to a pressure less than that continued on fourth page the success of the annual pro duction of the minstrel association reached a decided climax last sat urday evening when undoubtedly the best show that has been seen here in years was given in drown hall the music was excellent all
