responsible po sitions that they were unable to at tend this annual festive gathering letters have been sent to the class secretaries of all the classes from 1869 to 1918 and to date more than half of them have responded agreeing to hold the respective class reunions on june 28 the plans for the lehigh memorial were also stated the memorial is to be dedicated to the services and sacrifices of the le high alumni and undergraduate bodies during the great war the building is to be a useful as well as architecturally beautiful build ing it is to be planned so that it shall strikingly present the marv ellous record of lehigh s sons and at the same time be put to such a use that it will be frequented by many people in order that they see and realize the great part le high has played in the war not merely with the armies in the field but also in the industries which played a vital part in the conduct of the war it has been proposed to have a great entrance hall or rotunda lighted from above and a gallery on the second floor level the cen ter of the rotunda is to be occu pied by a statue symbolical of the services of lehigh v/hile the names of the men in the service and their deeds are to be recorded in bas reliefs and on bronze tablets ad joining this room hung with the trophies of war is to be a room dedicated to those whose services were confined to laboratories and shipyard and various other purely technical lines in order to turn the building to some use which will make it a much-frequented place it was sug gested to have in it the administra tion offices and faculty rooms

basketball wednesday night the game especially the first half was undoubtedly one of the fastest seen on the local floor be sides being , marked with all the aggressiveness and fight of a lehigh-lafayette contest lafayette opened up scoring when bobbe shot a basket within the first few seconds of play but their hopes of a run were short lived for gardy immediately rolled one off the palm of his hand into the ring and started what might be termed a lehigh reign of terror every lehigh man started off with a bang and put up a game that la fayette could hardly see let alone stop the lehigh offensive was down the floor dropping in basket after basket that would have been difficult in practice shooting what was most remarkable however was that they missed very seldom during the first half straub caged two one of them being a one hander over his head donovan got four while gardy and savaria rang in two apiece while the lehigh offensive was running wild the defensive put up an air-tight game frain covered anderson so completely the first half that he was unable to get a basket and it was not until the sec ond half that the lafayette best bet managed to stick in his one and only two pointer in the meantime straub sat very tight on bobbe shutting him out with only one goal for the first half when the half-way mark was reached the score stood 22-6 le having outplayed lafayette in every department of the game the scoring of the second half started when straub tipped one in after an unsuccessful try at a foul by donovan the play of the second half was not as fast as the first but as basketball games go it was speedy nevertheless within the first ten minutes lafayette had all the chances in the world to score but they could not make good until finally they did kick up a lit tle and score a few points the remainder of the second half was alternate spurts by lafayette and basket-netting plays by lehigh keating of lafayette dropped in a pretty goal for the last score of the game bringing the final standing 36-23 throughout the entire game every man on the lehigh team out played his oponent and it was hard to pick a star although mention should be given to donovan for his seven field goals the line-up lehigh positions lafayette donovan forward . anderson savaria forward . . keating gardy center reese frain guard bobbe straub guard king continued on
