play last saturday the freshman team met its first opponent bethlehem prep and was defeated by a score of 6 to 0 their defensive work was very good but their offensive playing was not as good as it might have been this is accounted for by their having had no scrimmage and very little signal practice the prep played both good offen sive and defensive football they were unable however to cross their opponents goal-line two place kicks one in the third and one in the fourth period's were the only points scored the freshman line slightly out weighed the prep line but their back-field was lighter the prep men were faster in starting for they had had more practice togeth er and the man carrying the ball knew where his interference was going in the first quarter prep kicked off to the freshmen who ran the ball to the middle of the field where it stayed for the first two periods the freshmen kicked off at the be ginning of the third period and prep rushed the ball to the thirty yard line by a series of line bucks and end runs by smith grady and christman miller then called for a place-kick and christman put the ball over the goal scoring three points for prep the freshmen again kicked off and at the end of the third period the ball was in mid-field prep then ran the ball to the twenty-five-yard line and christman made another placement prep then kicked and the fresh men ran the ball to the twenty-five yard lime on a fumble schultz got the ball for freshmen on the twenty yard line and they were slowly advancing toward the goal when time was called grady smith and

more than 30 frosh on packer avenue the 1918 class had every thing their own way and not one freshman remained untied within 15 minutes from this time on the sophs ruled the town at 5 o'clock when the men of 1918 gathered on packer aye fully 100 were pres ent to await the coming of the freshmen but none appeared those who had not been tied up had from all appearances forgotten that there was such a

of play and there after no scoring was done by either side at no time in the game were the visitors dangerously near le high's goal-line the playing of maginnes was of high order time after time he skirted the ends or plunged through center for long and short gains the prettiest play of the game was an open-field run of sixty yards for a touchdown by billy cahall the indian team was built up around calac the sturdy fullback of the visitors lehigh lost no time in getting their scoring machine working af ter the indians had been forced to kick in the beginning of the first quarter keady

sterling qualities in le high's founder judge f m trexler of the pennsylvania superior court makes able address in choosing superior court judge frank m trexler of allentown to deliver the fo mder's day address last saturday lehigh made no mis take out of the life of asa pack er he drew those outstanding quali ties which separate great men from those of lesser rank the student representation was by no means large the exercises were begun by the chaplain with a hymn and prayer t edgar shields played giga by corelli-noble judge trexler was introduced by dr drinker and said in part : more than a generation has pass ed since the death of asa packer and each year on founder's day lehigh university honors his mem ory by appropriate service's it can never repay the debt of gratitude it owes him and without this annual recognition of its benevolent foun der there would be a sense of bei efits forgotten and of a duty unper formed as we have gathered here we may with profit contemplate the life of such a man and his biogra phy may well be made a subject of careful study it is well to remind this generation of the important part performed by asa packer in the development of this state for he took a prominent part in the po litical and legislative activities of the state and nation and by his largeness contributed munificently to the educational advancement of the country some one has said that almost as important as the ac tual achievements of the great is the example they set and the inspi ration they give to those who come after them the path of the just is as a shining light shining more and more unto the perfect day these great brothers of ours still speak to us from their graves and beckon us on in the paths which they have trod their example is still with us to guide us to influence and to direct us for nobility of character is a perpetual bequest liv ing from age to age and constantly tending to reproduce its like the names and memories of great men are the dowry of a nation and their example lives a continued stimu lant and encouragement for him who has the soul to adopt it the first attribute of asa pack er to which i allude is his capacity for work i need not refer ivith any particularity to his career the details of his life have been repeat edly put in print and are readily ac cessible it is sufficient in this con nection to say that he was early thrown upon his own resources and at 17 left home to go out into the great world which lay before him by hard work he achieved success college men of this country play an important part in its activities statistics show this fact no doubt when asa packer founded this ins titution he had in mind the large in fluence that would radiate from this place and the power that the young men leaving this institution 1 would have by reason of the training re ceived here in this connection lu ther's words are apt : the prosper ity of a country depends not in the abundance of its revenues nor on the strength of its fortifications nor oni the beauty of its public build ings but it consists in the number continued on third page the brown and white lehigh university bethlehem pa tuesday october 5
