for fort monroe y m c a holds meetings on lawn wednesday october the ninth brought one of the biggest changes that lehigh has ever experienced the spanish influenza germ had reached bethlehem earlier in the week and the authorities in charge figured that it would be much safer to have all the men quartered on the campus thus at five o'clock of the afternoon named above an armed guard was strung around the grounds and from that time on no person has been allowed to leave or enter the grounds without a proper pass the afternoon of october the ninth was indeed a tumultuous one all the students who lived off the campus had to do their moving then and there a continuous line of automobiles trucks wagons and even pushcarts and wheelbarrows were seen slowly wending their way up the mountain to the fra ternity houses and the dormitories by that night all the students were as comfortably quartered as could be expected the housing facilities on the campus though were taxed to the limit and many rows of cots were placed in the game room of the gymnasium djrown memorial hall was dis mantled during this same after noon and converted into an emer gency hospital all oases of sick ness were transfered to this build ing so that the men might have the proper care and also in order to segregate the sick men to prevent the spread of the influenza the y m c a was without a home for a night but soon opened its doors again in saucon hall never before had the students ap preciated what the y could do for one here one could purchase stamps mail his packages and re ceive his mail the room was also well supplied with reading matter and a victrola thus by the energy of the y m c a staff the students were not materialy inconvenienced by the loss of drown hall the supply bureau battled manfully to keep its doors open and has succeeded to date although mr ashbaugh's customers have to climb in through the window at the side of the building reminding one of getting into a speak easy the epidemic itself has been under control for over a week with a steady decline of cases five deaths have occurred amongst the student body this death rate is very low when one considers the number of men now quartered here and the comparatively high death rate throughout this section of the country it is expected that the quaran tine will be lifted sometime during this week if the situation continues to improve as it has been doing for the last few days it would have been lifted before if the disease had not broken out in town how ever the health authorities are optomistic about matters claim ing the peak had been reached several days ago petersen made major section a of the lehigh s a t c unit demonstrated its superiority in baseball over section b in the first two games of the scheduled five-game series between the two sections the first game of the series played on taylor feld on friday october 11 resulted in a 12-10 victory for section a in a seven-inning contest the second game played monday october 14 on taylor field was an even more decisive victory for section a by an 8-0 score although only four innings could be played due to the late hour of starting the game both of the games were loosely played but furnished some good sport and incidentally served to give a good line on the new base ball material in college of the new men who made their first ap pearance on a lehigh diamond dowd at shortstop and kopf at second base showed up as the most promising material the section b team also disclosed a sterling infielder in the person of kline a former international league player the box scores of the two games follow first game section b two-base hits clark archer three-base hit : kline struck out : by markle 10 by pfeiffer 3 ; by powles 1 base on

its opening game from the league island marines a week ago saturday on taylor field the score being 6 to 0 the only score of the game came in the first five minutes of play when dowd the phenomenal quar ter from springfield mass high school caught a forward pass from wysocki and ran the remaining distance to the goal line without be ing caught after this the marines braced and only once again was their goal line in danger the marine team outweighed the home team but could not seem to make any gains through the brown and white line that amounted to any thing the lehigh team played a sur prisingly good game collectively and individually some of the new men showed up well while all of the veterans made good those of the new men who look especially sweet were dowd and goldman dowd although light is fast as fast it is claimed as spiegel lafa yette s speed merchant of a few years back goldman has been de veloped into a splendid center by keady and 1 should develop as the season grows after the kickoff it took six plays to make the lone tally after this neither team accomplished much during the first quarter the sea soldiers became more alert and the varsity could do nothing with their line during the second period the game slowed up a bit and both teams took things easy it started to rain at the start of the second half and lehigh s speedy backfield found trouble irt negotiating any gains the ground became so slippery the last quarter brought forth an exchange of punts lehigh nearly scored again as the marines fumbled and savaria ran seventy yards to within ten yards of le high's goal line a forward pass was then tried and wysocki hurled the ball over the goal line and no one received the ball was put in play on the 20-yard line and the marines made some nice gains and had time been a little longer the soldiers of the sea might have scored the line-up : lehigh positions marines saxman . i l e . . . mclaughlin spagna l t lieut hern thompson l g . .
