celebration of south bethlehem's semi centennial there should be thought given to the memory of the men who laid the foundations for the development of our town many men of virile strength and patriotic impulse contributed to the building up of what has become to-day this community ranking with those lead ing in industry and education in our state we at lehigh university rever ently preserve old christmas hall our original university building the corner-stone of which as the first moravian church of south bethlehem was prior to judge packer's endowment of the univer sity laid in 1863 christmas hall was purchased by judge packer for the university before its completion as a church and another site was provided by him for the church asa packer is of course the commanding figure of the past whose wonderful career from jour neyman carpenter to eminence as a great railroad builder and promoter of industry rises before us he was loyal to his state and to our valley in founding lehigh with an endowment unprecedented in lib erality at that time he gave the uni versity to our town and to the le high valley and to the army of 6000 men who have attended its halls who have gone forth to share in the upbuilding of our nation to dr henry coppee the first president lehigh owes an early im press of culture of manliness of honor and of high ideals of life as a student under him from 1867 to 1871 i enjoyed the great benefit of association with him in later days through the firm wise rule of president lamberton the univer sity grew in numbers and strength and then came president drown gentle cultured intellectual who left an abiding impress of high scholarship on our university en vironment south bethlehem may well be proud of its hospital st luke's which has grown from its small be ginning in 1872 under its able and distinguished head dr william l estes to its present position of es sential and paramount value to the community the privilege of knowing grand old john fritz was shared by many of us and my association and friend ship of many years with him is a treasured recollection he came here from the cambria iron works in 1860 on the call of the then own ers and managers of the bethlehem iron company of whom alfred hunt then president of the works ; robert h sayre elisha p wilbur and dr g b linderman were the heads all of these great men of the olden days were with the ex ception of mr hunt active and prominent in the management from the date of its founding and for many years of lehigh university there were giants in the earth in those days and a new race of mod ern giants has followed them in the steel industry of our town they laid the foundations and built well wisely and broadly — to-day we have the completing structure the move nineteen

day on eastern fields and much inter est is placed in its outcome last year yale defeated the brown and wtiite 20 to 3 only af ter an exceedingly hard battle and with an unlimited supply of fresh substitutes to date the new ha ven eleven have played two games two weeks ago the university of maine was smothered 37 to 0 by the use of lateral and forward pass es guernsey was the star by suc ceeding on every goal kick it was a brilliant season's opening last saturday yale was blanked 10 to 0 by the university of vir ginia by the latter s defensive work of breaking up the former's lateral and forward passing game and by taking advantage of the misplays this defeat was a big surprise to the yale supporters the new haven team coaches realize that this saturday's game will be a stiff one and that they must extend themselves to win during the past week's practice capt wilson has been given a rest from duty since in the opinion of the coaches he has worked too hard in the varsity eleven gates has been substituted for sheldon at left tackle and bentley for thompson at quarter-back waite a substi tute half-back last season has been filling wilson's shoes at right-half back otis guernsey at full-back has been using his toe to great ad vantage scoring field goals when within striking distance almost at will yale has six veterans who have been declared eligible since last week these men are black a guard c sheldon and j sheldon tackle and guard higgmbacken an end and scovell a half-back it is also expected that lagore the fa mous full-back will be sufficiently recovered to see service lehigh to date has made the bet ter record of the two teams two weeks ago ursinus fell before a 20 to 0 score maginmes was chiefly responsible for this victory scoring two touchdowns one after a 25 yard run last saturday the indians were twice scored upon thus losing 14 to 0 cahall made a pretty 60-yard run for the first score and later the chenoweth to keady combination raised lehigh's count coach keady realizes that yale due to her defeat by virginia last week will be primed specially for this contest but is fully confident that the brown and white eleven will put up an even better game than last year the lifting of the probation clause on grumbach has strengthened the team and he will surely be placed in the line-up le high will however be minus the services of a strong end man in kirkpatrick who unfortunately re ceived a broken ankle in practice last wednesday afternoon hal stead has not recovered sufficiently to be in condition to play the same team with the addition of grurnbaeh that has started in the two previous games will be in line continued on fourth page this evening at 8.15 the football team leaves for new york on their way to new haven where
