test of the brown and white eleven with the exception of a few minor bruises the lehigh squad is in good condition the men came out of the rutgers game with a determina tion to get pitt and be

and forcing its opponents to kick on several occasions the score at the end of the first half was two touchdowns to none one of these resulted in the first min ute of play while the other came just as the half was about to close the second half lehigh was completely outplayed and twenty points were scored in this time by all manner of methods on the kick off wysoeki booted the sphere to the ten

recent issue of the brown xlnd white concerning fraternity life the following letter is printed the position of the war department concerning fra ternities is made clear by this letter war department committee on education and special training /. college life and college fraternities 1 the war has vitally affected the college life of the country to provide that the country will not want for trained and educated men during the war and in the period of reconstruction there after the colleges of the country were invited to co-operate with the war department in training for positions of leadership in the army the student soldiers assign ed to them the students army training corps has therefore been established under the plan for the students army training corps it is evident that the student personnel of collegiate institutions having a unit of the corps will for the period of the present emergency consist almost entirely of members of said corps the plan contemplates that members of this corps who were twenty years of age when they registered will remain at the institutions at which enrolled about three months those who were nineteen about six months those who were eighteen about nine months and that new increments will be provided to fill the vacancies as they occur thus assuring by reason of a continu ally shifting personnel the great est good to the greatest number and the prompt supply of trained men when needed as the mem bers'of the students army train ing corps will occupy the status of soldiers on active duty subject as such to military discipline at all times and quartered together in military barracks the effect of the plan will be to alter the whole character of the educational insti tutions — to transform them from colleges in the meaning that a v v has acquired — into an integral part of the military establishment whereas heretofore college life was made up of many different phases — educational athletic and social — it will now consist only of intensive military and academic training appreciating that fraternity ac tivity is an important factor in the collegiate institutions of the country as they exist today and realizing that it will be funda mentally affected by the new sys tem of education and training the war department desires to make clear its position in this regard the war department considering that fraternity activities and mili tary discipline are incompatible in the very nature of things feels that it is to the best interests of the service that the operations of fraternities in institutions where units of the students army train ing corps are established be sus pended for the period of the pres ent emergency it further feels that the best interests of the fra ternities themselves require such suspension considering that the continued on third page a pleasant three-quarters of an hour was spent by those who at tended the y m c a meeting last sunday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock the meeting took place on the lawn near the vestry door of the chapel and was well attend ed by the men of sections a and b of the s a t c the speaker was prof m j luch of the facul ty who gave a short talk choosing as his subject the relation of the war to christianity the meeting opened with the singing of several hymns from the y m c a service hymn-book chosen by members of the audi ence the singing was led by an orchestra of three pieces and all joined heartily under the individ ual leadership of mr frey in his talk prof luch said in part all of us at the present time are living in a state of unrest in a state which is more or less un settled and the cause of this is the thought which is uppermost in the minds of most of us the war in view of this fact that it is the uppermost thought in our minds and although it is a thing which has perhaps been often discussed before i want to try and show you the relation between this subject and christianity can we hope that out of this war will come a condition which will be better for christianity may we suppose that when this war is over there will be counted as one-of the results of it a lasting betterment of christianity ? when we think of the pain the waste and the slaughter of the last four years is it any wonder that some people say that after 19 cen turies christianity has been shown to be a failure it seems to some men that christianity does not go very deep when such thoughts come in order to convince ourselves that such things can not be in vain and in order not to think of god as not human we must think that a new period is approaching we are passing through a change when the sun set on the night of july 31 1914 it went down on a day never to return a period of life which is gone this period w t hich is past was the period when any nation could view its own aims and without any regard whatso ever walk iron-heeled over an other in the period to come in the future that is going to be an impossibility those were doings of a medieval time it must be rendered impossible for any person to say i want that and go ahead and get it without any regard to others that peri od is gone and is never to return if we can achieve that feeling of nationality that there are national rights even among weaker nations the cost is not to great we won der why all this bloodshed is neces sary to achieve this end and we find the answer in the fact that all big things have come at great cost continued on third page we cannot but help feel that the outcome ultimately will be something which lies directly in the ideal of christianity itself the ideal which is represented by you men in the y m c a and other organizations which help the soldier it seems to me that the roster of studies underwent a change starting

var sity 39 to 0 on the neilson field new brunswick last saturday lehigh outweighed and out classed battled stubbornly and it was not until the third quarter when several of the brown and white men were incapacitated that coach sanford s men suc ceeded in scoring rutgers has perhaps the heavi est team in college ranks today and looks as good as any team in the country therefore lehigh s showing should not be judged by the score alone sanford has a heavy line a star backfield and two . all american men besides other material which will in all probability be all-american selec tions this season the most remarkable player in the gamp was the scarlet left end robeson towering head and shoulders above any man on the field the giant who is really there weighs two hundred and forty pounds stripped once he got loose there was no stopping to the dark skinned gentleman on one occasion he received a forward on lehigh s 30 yard line and starting to romp down the field brushed aside four lehigh men in succes sion who tackled him and who but for his size would have downed him easily on the defense the negro is also good although due to the meagre number of times that lehigh carried the ball could not show all his prowess next to robeson kelley the half-back on the sanford machine showed up well time after time he broke through the lehigh line skirted around the end or stepped through a broken field for gains of all kinds of distances he was responsible for two scores of the game for lehigh spagna and saxman played hard steady games the backfield did well on the defensive but could not get going when it came to advancing the ball but three first downs were secured by lehigh the whol game two of these being due to forwards which were successful while the other re sulted from a penalty imposed on rutgers for holding ooach san ford's team had sev eral formations which were origi nal and although very near the limit were worth yards of ground one of these was a for mation used when receiving a kiekoff the whole team masses together and runs down the field the man with the ball is protected by a pocket and can only be cut down from behind although wysocki's kick offs averaged 40 yards it was seldom that the ball was not run back to the opponents ' 40 yard line onside kicks were also executed in such a manner that considerable ground was gained lehigh took the offense at the beginning and the first half out side of two bad occasions was com the brown and white lehigh university classes start half hour earlier bethlehem pa wednesday october 30 1918 y.m.c.a
