by the lehigh university board of control of athletics were of an important nature the board very graciously granted a postponement to perm of the game scheduled for next year the request for postponement was made by the university of pennsylvania because of the of fer by chicago for a position on their schedule the only possible opening for such an en counter was october 22 the date set

is greatly encouraged by the prospects of a successful season although only two of last year's varsity men are avail able this season — reed inter collegiate 115 pound champion and heilman of the 135

number of men who can qualify for this divi sion a continued lack of heavy weights during the season would make it necessary that 175 pound men meet unlimited weight opponents at a decided weight handicap or else that the unlimited bouts be forfeited by lack of anyone to wrestle this would necessitate the winning of four of the six remaining bouts in a dual meet to insure a brown and white victory which in itself would be a diffi cult task for any mat team up to date about eighty var sity aspirants have signed up and between fifty and sixty hopeful freshmen are devoting their afternoons to acquiring mat lore from billy sheridan who has his hands full trying to instill some of his skill into the candidates continued on page two the first varsity meet of the schedule is on january 15

the deans and presidents of scores of colleges and other prominent men interested in the workings of the inter-fraternity council the officers of the conference were chairman jones illin ois secretary porton stan ford treasurer pierce lowa state r j purdy 28 was lehigh's delegate several points of great inter est were brought up in the dis cussions that took place a survey of the different rushing systems throughout the entire nation showed the deferred rushing system a failure the report claimed that the lehigh method of rushing was the best in the country another inter esting fact was that in most colleges and universities the majority of fraternities attain an average in scholastic achieve ment as high and in some cas es higher as the non-fraternity groups however this is not true at

varsity squad will be lost by graduation of this number three are back field men and the rest line men practically the entire line will be lost including captain littell thum harmon crane wilson and martin however only two first string backs will graduate hayes and ford hence the coaching staff will face the problem of starting the season with an inexperienc ed line and a veteran backfield however with burke holtz clark and alderman back the ends at least should be well taken care of and j levitz waldman bruenning scholl and kirkpatrick should form the nucleus for a fairly strong line
