quarter the brown and white team opened up an attack against which the visitors were absolutely powerless overwhelming defeat for lafa yette can be laid in general to ' ' too much lehigh team herrington and wysocki carried off scoring honors registering four touch downs apiece dave maginnes savaria and young scoring the re mainder of a total of twelve scored during the game the bril liancy of the lehigh backfield was only too apparent but the line was not outshadowed on defense they presented a stone wall and on of fense broke open holes large enough to drive british tanks through and formed an interference which knocked out lafayette men just as they came the only department i of the game in which lehigh did j not show up well was in registering i goals from touchdowns macdonald being the only man who had any success with them the detailed account of the most glorious athletic victory ever regis tered by a lehigh team follows : first quarter lafayette won the toss and elected

after the | smoker almost the entire student i body took part in a lively parade over the usual route through the bethlehems f w hukill president of the i senior class presided at the smoker i which was opened by a short earn est talk from george w hoban 15 captain of the 1914 football team he urged that the student body keep up college spirit all the year around and support all the i teams the lafayette game is a big occasion but we must remember that there are other teams besides the football team that needs sup port this is not the only game make your support a real thing all the time and net something worked up on occasions speaking of the coming game mr hoban said from all indications we have an edge on lafayette tomorrow we all hope that we are going to win but we do not want to be too much full of overconfidence as we did two years ago h m pat riley 10 spoke very optimistically of the outcome | of the game and ventured a predic tion as to the score prof reiter gave a character j istically stirring speech bosey impressed upon his hearers the dangers of overconfidence he pointed out the necessity of recog-l nizing the possibility of surprise : coach keady made a plea for support of the team by the student i body the question is will you fellows fight with that team and give them the encouragement they deserve ? now i want to warn you that the team needs your help not only now but all year i want and expect the student body to hang to that team as we will hang to the team down the river h h hank scovil 00 continued on second page in closing the speaker said that a survey of the situation showed that there was an abundant amount of wholesome food for all we must however reduce our con sumption of certain foods if we eliminate waste and change our food program it willbe accom plished it is imperative that the people be informed of this the educational forces are being used to do it the various state county city and township forces are help ing and the buisness organizations of the country have been appealed to estimates for this year indicate that we will have a surplus of but 248,000,000 bushels which can be sent to our allies they need 550 000,000 bushels and even if the con servative program proposed by the food administrator be followed the allies will be furnished with 150.000,000 bushels less than they need this shortage must be made up by substituted cereals the vast shortage of these funda mentals shows the serious nature of the problem the solution of which may be brought about by the three methods mentioned food is as essential to our allies as men or money the argentine wheat crop for the year is nearly 100,000,000 bushels short only 77,000,000 bu shels being produced as compared to the average crop of 177,000,000 bushels this shortage is so great that an embargo has been placed on the export of wheat a shortage of shipping makes australian and in dian wheat unavailable russian wheat cannot be obtained because of the blockade by the central powers and the wheat of bulgaria and roumania goes to these powers last year our country's wheat crop was 150,000,000 bushels short of the average and canada produced but fifty percent of her normal crop these figures show a decrease in production all around siwiuagc nj lxij-ce luiiaaiucx.il tii bwbp modities is found for this year these three for which the situation is

letic prowess among them was charlie taylor who has presented the university with a gymnasium and a stadium that is worthy of a | lehigh-lafayette contest that the student body appreciates his gift | was shown by the ovation accorded | him as he walked across the field j here and there on both sides of the | field one noted vivid patches of ! coloring that denoted the presence of many pretty girls that more than made up for the absence of ' ' old sol both colleges cheered ex ceedingly well and it is to the credit of the lafayette student body that they stood behind their team to the very end and that at the end of the game they stood up and sang their alma mater even though they were beaten by a score that has never been equaled since the two colleges started contesting for the football supremacy of the lehigh valley one of the features of the contest was the snake dance in which the whole student body took part and the large l that they formed in the middle of the field at the end of the game with a i score the size of which exceeded | the wildest hopes of every lehigh i man the student body and the alumni sang the alma mater a fitting climax to the first lehigh victory over
