was won with the fair ones at fall house party as an inspiration and chances look favorable for a brown gnd white victory to morrow to date the franklin and marshall batsmen have had lit tle opportunity to display their wares and little is known of the baseball ability of the lan caster aggregation the southern trip although decidedly disastrous as far as victories were concerned gave the team invaluable experience this was quite apparent last saturday against the scarlet of rutgers fielding errors and the lack of co-ordinated batting was responsible for the loss of the game but a vast improve ment was apparent since the first tilt of the season against muhlenberg only the unfavor able weather wednesday pre vented the team from showing this improvement in a schedul ed return match with the car dinal and gray at muhlenberg this steady improvement has been more and more apparent as the season has progressed and the pitching staff especially has shown to a more decided ad vantage what is most notice ably lacking at the present time is a smooth fielding team me diocre fielding and poor sup port of the pitchers has been responsible for the loss of sev eral games the necessity for a stronger batting order altho not as evident as in the initial game still gives coach johnson much concern tomorrow's line-up is not certain but it is probable that the following men will first

music and an enthusiastic spirit of rejoicing among the members of the class the attendance was prac tically one hundred percent in spite of the efforts of the soph omores the class assembled in the ballroom of the hotel promptly at 6:30 for a meal which could hardly be surpassed the menu consisted of sardine canape cream of asparagus roast ca pon with browned potatoes and green beans waldorf salad and ice cream and cake after cv eryone had finished the repast president oiler called on pro fessor bradley stoughton head of the department of metal lurgy as the first speaker pro fessor stoughton chose as his subject girls he spoke of the uplifting power which a girl of the right sort can have over any man she raises his mind by giving him interesting things to do interesting things to read and to think about the civilization of a country can al ways be measured by the posi tion of the women the high er their level is the higher the level of the civilization of the country after professor stoughton's speech oiler called on a few of the guests for a few words fred trafford spoke on the dif ficulties of his position with the sophomores on one side and the freshmen on the other dean mcconn when called upon 1 , cautioned the members of the class to adjust them selves at the beginning of their second year to the conditions they have found since entering college if they have not already done so he said that they should all go into extra-curri cular activities if they have not already done so but he warned them against going into too many as they have been the cause of very many fellows flunking out of college bosey reiter talked about the direc tions which the impulses that come to everybody can take the first way is in a sudden outburst of anger which is us ually regretted a second way is to be hidden under the sur face and then break out into poor channels the third and the only good way is to take it and turn it into good channels soon if this is done habits will be formed which will make a good clean mind and body we need good men to carry on the strength of the race so continued on page four during the past week tau beta pi the honorary engineer ing

his address with a re cital of the circumstances sur rounding the gift of mr frank packard to the university as an introduction to the main body of the speech he described the startling experiment of keeping a crotan fly in an at mosphere of hydrogen for over an hour with apparently no affect a fact which was at to tal variance with all scientific theories previously existing and which was performed in the general electric research laboratory this he used as an illustration of the persis tence of outworn and fallacious beliefs in the minds of men idols of the mind as francis bacon termed them the presi dent then made a plea for abso lute open-mindedness in all fields of thought prof stoughton as the next speaker delivered a brief but trenchant speech his two main themes were the leader ship expected of the men who have shown themselves worthy of election to tau beta pi and the duty incumbent upon all professional men of the world of keeping the industries of the world clear of the dangers which threaten them and to strive constantly towards ele vating them to the highest pitch of efficiency his address was illustrated by two quota tions from the writings of

concerning the ban quet chairs and state of grace of his audience prof beaver reviewed briefly the economic condition of china attempted to unravel the present military situation and concluded by calling attention to the need for modern economic improvements continued on page four considering the excitement before the event the sophomore class did very well in regard to the success and numbers that attended their banquet from late sunday night until quite late monday afternoon things looked dark for the second year men the frosh started early to tie up the sophs and there were numerous fights in which the overwhelming num bers of the frosh seemed to make victory certain for them in taylor hall the frosh jail there were at least eighty soph omores tied up and there were almost as many more visiting in the country or on their way out in the company of the then dominant frosh the plans for the convention of the intercollegiate newspa per association of the middle atlantic states

lehigh has a less-imposing record having but one victory and two defeats to its credit however the brown and white team is im proving steadily as evidenced by its strong fight with prince ton last saturday in its last game the suicide squad was minus the services of oddy at goal and baker and enscoe on the attack baker will be avail able for tomorrow's game but injuries will keep oddy and enscoe on the sidelines it was quite noticeable that the brown and white attack was working more smoothly against princeton than against n y u a few new ideas have been introduced this week and they will have a chance to prove their worth against rut gers house party and its bevy of feminiity should prove an added incentive to the stick wielders notice the senior class program and invitation
