the season and though played against a fast team was more in the nature of a practice match for the perm state game perm state is the first match lehigh has had out of town and it demonstrates the fast advancement the soccer league has undergone at lehigh from practically a standing start last year the game will be without doubt fast and witnessed by a large crowd among which it is hoped will be a large supply of lehigh rooters in going up by cars the men are being treated with some thing of an innovation and one which is looked forward to with pleasure they will stay over night at perm state and return saturday night after the game in the same manner upper classmen notice volunteer ticket-takers from the two upper classes are wanted for the lafayette game all men who will offer

pennsylvania day game will be played on friday before large crowd of visitors lehigh will go up to perm state to play one of the hardest games of the season state has an excellent record so far this season having been defeated but once and that at the hands of harvard they de feated the university of pennsyl vania team by a score of 13 to 3 the nearest comparison that can be made is the fact that perm state defeated g-ettysburg by the score of 27 to 12 whereas lehigh de feated the same team two weeks later by a score of 29 to 0 state however put up a very strong fight against harvard and this together with the fact that the game will be played on the opponents gridiron puts the two teams on about the same level to quote coach keady the team has an even chance of winning ' ' all of the regulars with the ex ception of chenoweth will be back in the game on friday halsted's ankle has improved so that he will be again found at full back ma girmess will be shifted to left half back with jim keady at his ac customed place at right half back cahall will again be found at quar terback the two veteran ends green and sawtelle will hold down their usual positions either captain tate of ostrum will be found at left tackle as it is not known as yet whether tate's in juries from the muhlenberg game will allow him to play grumbach and pons will probably take care of the guard positions with scruggs at the snap-back position richards at right tackle will com plete the line-up the opinion at state may be judged from the following dispatch to the public ledger the lehigh game is now the chief source of worry for the coaches and the team will be driven hard in the short time left in prep aration for this contest the players will be given a great deal of work in blocking drop-kicks be cause of cahalps ability in drop ping the ball over the cross-bars in this they will be materially helped by the work done last week in preparation for the game yester day at cambridge the coaches consider the le high game the most difficult of the season to prepare for the brown and white backs play a terrific line-plunging game and this makes it almost imperative that the secondary defense play close to the line of scrimmage on the other hand the ability of cahall in hurl ing forward passes and the fre quency with which the lehigh eleven uses the forward passes continued ox third page last thursday evening the busi ness ad club held its first meeting of the year the object of the meet ing was to nominate officers for the ensuing year and to formulate plans for future meetings j e

by vaccination sanitary conditions would be folly to inoculate en tire community and ignore sanitation mr stanley j thomas of the department of biology in a state ment prepared for the brown and white points out the decided ad vantages of anti-typhoid inocula tion the remarkable indifference to a disease ranking fourth in our mortality tobies is difficult to understand not only has the vac cine been recognized by the army but by engineers and contractors as well mr thomas article follows on july the second the british war office gave out the following brief but very significant statement concerning typhoid fever in the army in flanders : in the british expeditionary force in france there have been 827 cases of typhoid fever and 127 deaths up to may 27th of this number 508 cases were persons who had not been inoculated with antityphoid serum ten per cent of these died there were only 22 deaths among the 308 men inoculated and who in spite of this precaution con tracted disease when we con sider the impossibility of even fair sanitary conditions in the modern method of trench fighting we must admit that a remarkable victory has been won over this dread disease — the disease that killed nearly ten times as many american soldiers as perished from spanish bullets in 1898 in the boer war two years later the british loss through ty phoid fever was 8022 while 7702 men were killed in battle or died df wounds thus in ten years time typhoid has been eliminated as a serious obstacle in the path of the modern fighting machine the reason for this can be at tributed if not entirely at least in a major part to antityphoid vac cine it has been demonstrater that water is not an important cause for the spread of typhoid in camps and that while flies undoubtedly serve as carriers in the summer personal contact especially through the medium of food is the chief source of military epidemics with ty phoid fever as widely dissemi nated as it is in europe at the present time the chances are that if an army corps were assembled in any section and kept in a camp the sanitary conditions of which were perfect one or more cases would develop and a corps once infected would because of temporary or chronic carriers continue to produce new cases consider then the very meager sanitary con ditions possible in trench fighting where men must eat and sleep ankle deep in mud and filth and what the results must be were it not for this prophylactic measure of vaccination when we realize the fact that small pox vaccination was known to be an effective preventative of that disease over one hundred years ago and also that one attack of typhoid fever almost invariably gives permanent immunity against subsequent attacks we must be sur prised that antityphoid vaccine was unheard of until the beginning of the twentieth century in 1906 continued on fourth page the brown and white board will be photographed at 1 p m to morrow at mccaa's studio lehigh's first and second string backfields completely shatter visitors defense many spectacular plays cahall runs 85 yards to a-touch down green drop kicks goal gettysburg's strength was not up to expectations and lehigh had little difficulty in defeating them on taylor field on saturday the brown and white team rolled up a score of 29 and held the soldiers scoreless without any trouble great interest was centered in sat urday's game because perm state could defeat gettysburg by a score of 27 to 12 only and followers of the lehigh team expected to form an idea of state's strength by com parative scores coach keady s eleven played a smashing game and performed bril liantly except in a few cases where their playing was marred ly fumb ling lehigh s aggressive strength was not materially diminished by frequent substitutions showing that coach keady can in an emer gency place second string men on the field who can be depended upon not only to keep up the team's strength but to increase it tl c lehigh team lost the ball four times on fumbles but gettys burg retaliated twice and one of their fumbles directly resulted in lehigh s first score when boland scooped up the ball and ran twenty five yards for a touchdown in the middle of the first period lehigh was penalized to the extent of 55 yards while gettysburg lost only 20 with passes the brown and white eleven was successful four times out of seventeen tries all were good for more than twenty yards the soldiers worked only one out of five tries and it gained but a single yard lehigh earned 20 first downs to gettysburg's two and each gained three more by penalties cahall for lehigh played a won derful game at quarterback during the three periods he was in the game his running back of kicks end runs and heady work outshone the efforts of all on the field twice he circled the ends for gains of 50 yards each and at other times gained 20 15 or 10 yards at the same place just at the end of the third period he received stoney's punt on the bounce on lehigh s 15 yard line and dodged through the entire team for 85 yards and a touchdown maginnes played his usual good game at fullback smash ing gettysburg's line at will for gains of 3to 10 yards heuer and boland both performed well the latter obtaining lehigh s first score in the first period when he picked up hoar's fumble on gettysburg's 25-yard line and crossed over the goal line for gettysburg hoar and;earley played the best games the latter showing up particularly well in his line plunging in the last period despite the fact that the game w 7 as cleanly played eowe hoar and captain mccollough of gettys burg were injured and forced to retire fred green completely surprised the crowd in the last period when he dropped back from the line and kicked a beautiful drop-kick goal from gettysburg's 25-yard line hallowell who replaced cahall at continued on second page the first annual inter-depart ment first aid meet of the bethle hem steel company will be held
