sophomores and struck out six mien while boltz struck out five of the 1921 men in cluding dave pfeiffer who was put in as a pinch hitter in the fifth the sophomores showed very little efficiency in

hardest years to contend with at college the rage of influenza which congested college work and college life and then the institution of the student army corps both held back work and college activities it was un fortunate that the present student body had to contend with these fac tors but the situation was unique and could not be helped after this the college came back and things began

was staged at swarthmore last satur day afternoon lehigh winning by a score of 2to 1 the condition of the field did not allow the playing of either team to show up to a very great advantage the game was hotly contested from the beginning the winning point being obtained only five minutes before the final whistle at the very beginning of the game lehigh managed to get a lucky start being much quicker than their opponents and after the first minute of play nesselbush scored the first goal ten minutes later swarthmore returned the trick making the score a tie at which it stayed until the last five minutes of play when reynolds who was playing in tip top form during the second half scored the winning goal for lehigh by a pass from mitman the field was the heaviest field played on this season being cover ed with mud and in places with a sheet of water thus preventing any chance of fast playing on ac cuont of slipping during the first half both teams seemed evenly matched neither being able to gain any decided advantage over the other during the second half le high's attack seemed to hit their old stride and had several chances to score which the slippery field and swarthmore s goal keeper pre vented from being effected even on the heavy field the brown and white's squad showed their superi ority over swarthmore in success ful passing the playing of jenness and wey was

on thursday evening professor peck of lafa yette college gave an illustrated lecture on his mining experiences in colorado and mexico mr h b tinges 12 also gave a short talk on the bituminous industry in the east professor peck commenced his lecture by explaining that all min ing problems demand a practical application of geology and that many companies did not realize the necessity of studying the geology of the region in the silvertown and san juan districts of south west colorado a large number of failures in mining ventures oceur ed as a result of not taking the geology of the prospective region into full consideration the main points of his speech are in part as follows : one of the most important prob lems facing a mining company in this region is the problem of trans porting the ore from the mine to lower levels the only satisfactory manner of transporting the ore is hj n'irc trains and the majority of the mines have adopted this means of transportation the rock formation of this region very clearly indicates a series of volcanic flows in several places there are indications of the presence of extinct volcanoes this region is rich in gold and silver ore and although it has been worked for years without doubt there are still many undiscovered rich ore veins snow slides are common in this region and in constructing mining buildings in the mountains they have to be careful in the selection of sites they usually try to build the buildings close to the side of the mountains many of which are over twelve thousand feet high so that in case of a snow slide the snow will sweep over them mining in mexico is more dif ficult than in the united states be cause of the undeveloped character of the country the factors of the quality and accessibility of the ore many times outweighs the quantity to be found for in the majority of cases this ore has to be carried over the mountains on mules backs mexican mines have been worked for years and the early inhabitants of the country used crude methods around most of these mines can be found immense slag heaps which still contain a large percentage of ore however it must be left there because of the poor means of trans porting it to better refineries mr tinges talk on the bitumin ous industry dealt with the fact that since the anthracite fields are limited and being exhausted the coal operators are developing the bituminous coal areas unlike the drift mine operations of small owners many of whom are farmers the large corporations are using the shaft methods of mining this form of coal continued on third page during the years 1915-16 there was a large output of bituminous coal because many farmers were able to work the drift mines how ever this did not continue because has held together remarkably well and the administration of the past year is to be congratulated for their good work the future is even more bright and under the new officers lehigh's y m c a should be one of the most active of its kind ' ' raymond walters registrar of the university then spoke he dis cussed the attitude of mankind to wards religion during the past war and its effects on civilization a war is one of the biggest factors that nations as a whole have to contend with during the past it has seemed the war was a necessary evil and that when it came everbody had to grin and bear it as civilization has ad vanced and people tried to better conditions they tried to avoid war in several cases this succeeded arbitration was affected and the countries concerned apparently satisfied however this last war came so suddenly that no one thought of or had time to start arbitration and avoid it so every body got together to beat the ger mans continued on third page during such a war and under such conditions virtue truth and right are apt to be shattered it is very hard for a soldier in the trenches to live up to the highest ideals due to the great physical and mental strain of such a life where his business is to kill other men he has a hard time keeping up those ideals which go to making what is termed good character the way that the american troops stood up under the strain is re markable they did the best for their country and they tried hard to remember god a man under shellfire and seeing all the horrible and pitiful results of modern war fare is sorely tempted to think that their is no god for if there is one why should he allow such things as this to happen such were the trials that our boys had to go through and yet they stood up remarkably well for what is true lasty.m.c.a meet of the year
