president of the senior class epitome prizes announced in view of the great rivalry which exists between the two lower class es both sophomores and freshmen have turned out in creditably large numbers for the baseball track and football teams for the last few years the freshmen have trimmed the sophomores and gained the right to banish both black socks and i ties and the freshman cap on sun days from all appearances the freshmen this year have as good a chance to repeat this trick as in other years and the games will most probably be closely contested and very interesting in their track material the 17 men have excep tionally good runners but it must be remembered that the sopho mores have practically their entire veteran team and that team last year was an unusual combination also in baseball the freshmen have a promising team quite up to the standard of the sophs in football however they are slightly handicap ped on account of lack of weight the sports will he held on wed nesday afternoon october bth at 2 o'clock having been postponed from saturday afternoon october l ili on account of the football game with the carlisle indians the men in charge of the different teams ur gently request all lower classmen who have any ability in one or more of the three sports to report as soon as possible since there remain only a few days of practice before the day set little organization has yet been made as only preliminary practice dominated the first part of the week in the course of a few days teams will be selected from the available material and a more systematic preparation will be made the cap tains have not been appointed hut this matter will be adjusted soon the sophomores have not turned out to date in as large numbers as the freshmen and but little has keen done in any of the sports in track it is expected that last year's lean llurke carlson wylie mudge benson and fair will be on hand in baseball he same condi tion is found those who are ex pected

back field one of best in college ranks and line is work ing well the contest on taylor field to morrow afternoon with the carlisle indians promises to be one of the best games of the season although the indians have practically a new team and have not the renowned thorpe and powell in the lineup they will present an eleven which will be coached up to the highest point during the week coach warner has been putting into prac tice many new plays designed for the lehigh game and hardly a day has passed in which the men have not been put through a hard scrim mage up to date the redskins have been victorious over lebanon valley albright and west virginia wesleyan large scores did not feature any of these games but it was shown that the indians had a strong team welch and guyon two of the back-field men proved themselves to be fast and clever players their long runs closely re sembling those of their former mate thorpe the indians appa rently lack place-kickers which in present-day football means a great handicap the scores of games al ready played by them are as fol lows : — indians 26 lebanon valley 0 indians 25 ; albright 0 indians 25 ; west virginia wes leyan 0 the brown and white team is in excellent shape all of the men who participated in the albright game with the exception of fisher were on hand monday afternoon the practice monday afternoon was light and • the varsity did not en ter into any scrimmage tuesday afternoon assistant coach pazzet ti took charge of the back field men and punters the backs being rehearsed in catching punts and the kickers in getting their punts off more speedily the postponement of the western maryland game de prived the team of a tryout but the afternoon was well utilized in a blachbrand talk and with a discus sion of the new rules with a line which showed last saturday thai i1 could hold like a stone wall and with a back-field which stands out as nc of the best in college ranks only a victory can be forecasted as

of publications the following extracts are publish ed and give a good idea of what disinterested parties think of the book extracts from reviews of frank lin macnutt and charles cal culus there is a movement among teachers to drop formality and ver biage in the exposition of what they have to teach and to address their pupils plainly and directly as they would in a matter of business or sport the examples are few at present but they are sufficiently nu merous to suggest that new ideas as to teaching are spreading at any rate in science a brilliant instance is an elementar ', i eatise on cal culus by william s franklin bar ry macnutt and rollin l charles of lehigh university the authors south bethlehem pa in which the higher branches of mathematics are explained in a manner so at tractive that not only students with the needed elementary grounding will be drawn to study them but others will be tempted to acquire the simple mathematical foundation that will enable them to follow the authors demonstrations they ex plain briefly and clearly on what simple bases the various lines of mathematical speculation rest the many uses they serve in science and practical life and bring their utility home by practical problems relating to everyday life the book will ap peal especially to students in tech nical schools those who wish to pursue any side of the subject fur ther are referred to the best books available it is not a case of try ing to make mathematics easy but of making the main principles in telligible — from the n y sun june 28 1913 in this work the authors have shown their sympathy with the stu dent of calculus by presenting its essential topics in an admirable and commendable manner they have abandoned the orthodox setting and with educational discretion have presented their material in such a form thai il is a living and respon sive reality vitally interesting from coxtiwki ox i'orirni iwcic glee club there will be preliminary tryouts of new men for and a
