deeper insight into the nature of the warfare which is being waged in europe at the present time mr steinmetz who is president of the aero club of pennsylvania and a member of various technical committees related to problems of national defense is particularly well fitted to talk upon aeronautical subjects so that the part of his lecture dealing with the aircraft engaged in the present war was the roost interesting his accounts of terrestial and submarine devices was equally instructive so that all who heard him obtained a clear idea of the varied devices which will determine the winner of the great war mr steinmetz opened his lecture with an appeal to the audience to aid in the success of the second liberty loan and them proceeded directly to the main part of the lecture the birth of flight was in troduced by an illustration of the evolution of the bird from the flop ping mud lizards of the prehistoric ages the changing of their scaly body protection into primary feath ers broadened by centuries of growth and formed by the necessity of need as the monsters jumped from hole to slough and yearned to skim from tree top to nearby crag was brought out by the lecturer the

years between the two teams warner's pitt team downed the brown and white warriors satur day afternoon october 13 at forbes field pittsburgh by a 41-0 score the first big intersec tional college football game of the year the pitt - lehigh contest created a great amount of interest in the western part of the state and the game was witnessed by 8,000 spectators the range of the score does not in any way show the va riety of football displayed the same wonderful attack which has carried the pitt team to twenty one consecutive victories in the past two years was superior to lehigh s defense and the brown and white team was forced to accept defeat the battle was hard fought from start to finish with lehigh fighting to the end miller the diminutive pitt quar terback cast gloom over the lehigh team with the first kick-off run ning 95 yards down the field for a touch down — a play that very sel dom occurs in football and which is bound to have a discouraging effect on the opposition halsted kicked off the ball sail ing high to the pitt 10-yard line and bounding back to the six-yard line on the run miller gathered in the ball and started up the cen ter of the field turning to the left as the lehigh forwards bore down upon him and outrunning the en tire team with carlson and goug ler as interference met herring ton on the 18-yard line here buzz made a game attempt to stop him but the three pitt men were too much herrington being thrown out by the interference after momentarily stopping miller and the latter ran over the goal line unmolestd neither herrington nor miller had to do anything other then or dinary in planning their attacks for the plays were largely of a simple nature there was little forward passing and pitt depend ed largely upon a criss-cross play with the guard carrying the ball around end for consistent gains the interference of the pitt team at all times was a marvel to the spectators for the pitt backs re peatedly circled the ends with per fect interference the outstanding features of the game from the lehigh point of view was the playing of wysocki mcdonald savaria a maginnes and herrington many times after passing through the lehigh defence the pitt backs were dumpted by herrington preventing a clear field for a touchdown for pitt aside from the general good work of the line mcclaren and gougler played the most consistent games the game had one great draw back it was long drawn out by minor injuries penalties and fre quent fumbling of the ball pitt being the big offender in all three departments the fumbling was inexcusable as the field was fairly fast and the ball dry the game by quarters first captain carlson of the continued on sixth page the final outcome of the tennis tournament has been somewhat de layed by the bad
