all classes this year silver cup presented in name of class of 88 for active alumni membership the postponed founder's day sports will be played tomorrow at 2 o'clock and the basketball game on wednesday of next week owing toithe fact that the mid-year exams are close at hand and the date*on which the sports were to have ben played has been put off from week to week it has been thought advisable to play them soon there has been ample time for preparation on both sides and a close contest is expected the soccer game and the tug of w r ar will take place on saturday the soccer teams will be matched pretty evenly and it is hoped that the mud that has been inches deep will either freeze or dry up before the game there will be fifteen men on a side in the tug of war and there is no reason why every man in both freshman and sophomore classes should not try to do his part in this feature the presidents of both classes appeal to all the men to support their class material is needed

program proves inter esting and delightful to those present lehigh is slated to meet the big army team at west point on sat urday afternoon seven players are to make the try and will leave here some time this afternooni to face a hard battle west point it seems is still in the early part of its schedule and although beaten by the city college of new york five last saturday they can boast of a fine team this season coach geary laconically says we'll fight ' ' and has bent all his recent efforts to that end so whatever happens the brown and white team will struggle to the last minute roy has not as yet definitely fixed in his mind the per sonnel of a varsity as the work of most every man in the squad has been rather inconsistent at some tlfflixtlcps mpt i .. will show sitch 8 brilliant flash of real playing that the final selection seems abso lutely clear and at others these same players fall into an abysmal slump that makes things seem hopeless maurer last year s crack forward is troubed considerably by an injured leg this season which accounts for his non-appear ance capt wysocki will be out of the game for a short time at least until his arm heals these losses are rather offset by the good work of the new men although comparison with the veterans is impossible coach geary will not disclose a possible line-up but pub lic opinion and private hunches predict that the seven men to make the trip will be chosen from 1 mar shall tollen frain martz ket cham straub stewart savaria wysocki and maurer a victory reunion i'or every class will be held on alumni day june 28

that lehigh will soon be able to add another spirt to her ever-growing list lehigh opened her wrestling season with a victory over allen town y m c a last wednesday in taylor gym all the bouts were very well contested two of them requiring extra periods be fore a decision was reached childs naame and bertolett made their first varsity appearance in the meet and did very creditably captain brinker of allentown met childs in the 115-pound class neither one was able to gain a de cision at the end of the nine-minute period so two extra three-minute periods were needed both men were so evenly matched that it seemed as if a decision could not be gained in these periods but childs was awarded the decision with an advantage of 1 mm 50 sec in the 125-pound class johnson of allentown scored for ailen town winning the decision with an advantage of 1 mm 15 sec over naame this tied the score 4-4 the 135-pound bout between durner and bertolett required two extra three-minute periods ber tolett seemed to hiave the advant age throughout the bout but the two extra periods made it certain foir bertolettwas awarded the final decision with a 1 mm 25 sec ad vantage with a four-point advantage for lehigh wuerz met jones in the 135-pound bout several times in this bout wuerz had holds 1 which were expected to result in a fall but jones was able to keep from being thrown wuerz was awarded the well-earned decision with a 4.35 ad vantage it seemed as though the meet was going to be won by decisions alone until hollinshead met ger nert in the 145-pound bout hol linshead was aggressive from the start and had a fall in the short time of 2 mm and 47 sec by a crotch and reversed chancery hold the 158-pound bout resulted in a decision for bergdoll over ackenly of allentown in the nine minute period bergdoll had the advantage throughout the bout but was unable to get a fall he was the most aggressive for the period and was given the decision with an advantage of 4 mm 35 sec continued on third page manley in the 175-pound bout threw leonard in 6 mm 25 sec with a bar and chancery hold giv ing lehigh the meet by a 26-4 score arts and science meet annual meeting of philadelphia alumni on wednesday prof hughes 1 gave a short talk discussing the army intelligence test which had been given to some hundred students a week before he ex plained the use made of the tests in selecting good officer material from the enlisted men and showed how columbia university may use similar teslts in its announced plan of supplementing ordinary exami nations by psychological examina tions the highest grade that could be secured in the tests was 212 and the highest score made by a lehigh man seems to be 185 this was made by a sophomore many others however came within a point or two and a few points either way isi not significant the m-ajoiity of students seem to fall within the a classy which indicates they should secure 1 superior grades in college if we are to believe the committee on education and special training of the war de partment professor hughes was at pains to show the only scientific way in which such intelligence tests can be built up and standardized and to warn against mmoh advertised schemes which exploit the name of psychology the application of reliable standards to pick the man or woman suited to receive train ing for one type of job or another is in a very elementary state though every year sees an advance in this work he spoke of the well-known biiiet scale which in its applica tion to school children is already of great reliability and service it is quite possible by means of this scale to advise concerning the pro motion of a child or his elimina tion from the ordinary school class by the application of this test assurance is better justified than was the case when we had to depend on observing the results of school training the possibility of selecting dif ferent types of intelligence by means of performance tests of dif ferent kinds was explained these however can only be given indi vidually the army test can be given to a hundred men at a time in 35 minutes but it seems to put a premium upon what we may call verbal intelligence the ability to note recall and use words inithink ing the quick response to prac tical situations and the power to understand and deal with people may be a kind of intelligence that needs few words even in thought and perhaps is often strong when the power of verbal reflection is weak lehigh took moravian college over in a basketball game wednes day night by a 43-23 score lehigh started slow and it was not until the end of the game that the team hit anything near real form the pass work as a whole was not up to the mark and the shooting was below par lehigh hit her pace occasionally and when going right the team w^as able to score in bunches but moravian always managed to break in with some &} v pass work and shots + hat kt w&r from being one sided the game picked up well about the middle of the first half and the play became more speedy when several substitutions were made coach gery made another shake r at the beginning of the second half when he replaced the team that started originally they started better than they did the first half and by fair offensive were able to get a good many shots but bad shooting kept them from roll ing up a score during the second half mora vian got in a good many flashes of pretty passing and shooting with about ten minutes to play lehigh slumped off badly and a brand new team was put on the floor although this new team came in the game cold they took to it like veterans and carried the ball down the floor asi if they were running through signals and then dropped it in for scores gtardy had his eye on the basket caging the ball four times in close succession from the floor they started a deluge of scoring in which every one figured and were still rolling them up when time was called line-up :

book meeting competition notice lehigh began her preparation for the 1919 track and relay season last week when captain g doan called far candidates both for assistant manager and for the team on account of manager baver's ill ness the assistant managers report to captain doan up to date very few men have reported as candi dates for assistant manager continued on third page the prospects for this year's track season seem very favorable since many of last year's veterans have reported besides a number of men who have returned from the service grace laffey ger lach and gelly of the freshman class have been showing up in good form the lack of coaches other than the veterans on the team handicap considerably the train ing of the excellent material in college and thus keep lehigh from
