class attendance taken at cheering practice last tuesday on taylor field was as follows : se niors 1-3 men present juniors — 33 sophomores — 30 and fresh men — 114 for 27 minutes at steadily in creasing tension a section of the longest and strongest hoisting cable in the world withstood the pull of the 800,000-pound testing machine of lehigh university at a test made in the john fritz engineering lab oratory last month then when the tension was 360 tons the big steel rope snapped with a resulting show er of steel splinters that partially penetrated the board barricades erected to protect the operators this and other tests were made by the civil engineering depart ment of lehigh university in the presence of representatives of john a roebling's sons company of trenton n j the manufacturers of the cable and of the spanish american iron company which has been using the cable in the pennsylvania steel co.'s mines at mayari cuba when the section of new rope was first subjected to tension the fastenings broke before the cable itself tore and a second set of fast enings had to be attached of special importance were tests of two used portions of cable at the mines in cuba cars with a ca pacity of 50 tons are lowered by means of this cable down a steep incline plane of more than a mile the strength of the great rope af ter daily use for two months was shown to be 170 tons an unexpect edly good result in view of the rag gedness of the outer strands the roebling's sons company were represented at the tests by walter von yoigtlander and the spanish american iron company by

supporters and preparations in the way of careful signal drill are being carried briskly forward in the yale bowl as though it were the week before a big game that yale has much more to lose than lehigh is evident none are more aware of this than the new haven coaches and the decisive aggres sive way in which lehigh disposed of the indians has made them de cidedly uncomfortable an article in the new york sun of october 6th will give some idea in regard to this : — the defeat of the carlisle in dians by lehigh yale's next foot ball foe was a surprise and has given the eli coaching staff food for thought lehigh was not reck oned on as especially formidable when the schedule for capt tal bott's team was compiled and it was believed that with a gruelling game with virginia known to be strong for the purpose of bringing out yale's most exposed weakness es a somewhat easier bout with le high might follow on the succeeding saturday considering the usual roughness of the indian game all of the men are in good shape at this time and the line-up against yale will no doubt be the same as that against carlisle last saturday desmond's work at end was so good in prac tice all week that he and sawtelle will occupy the end positions good richards green scruggs and beck er compose the remainder of the line this part of the brown and white machine showed up very poorly in the indian
