basketeers for the first lehigh victory over a point quintet 30-21 a fusilade of double-deckers in the opening half proved to be a sufficient margin of triumph the brown and white team identical with the one which swamped haverford began in a whirlwind fashion previously determined to successfully hur dle one of their hardest games on the schedule not content with more than doubling the score at half time captain billmeyer's men prevented the losers from chalking up a single point until fourteen minutes had elapsed while holding the opposition scoreless lehigh forged into a 12-0 lead as a result of brilliant passing and accurate shooting many levin and levine were bulwarks in this offense with the entire team impregnable on the defense holding the army to four baskets this was one more than they annexed in the final half draper substituting for flood and finishing as the star of his team tallied the initial field goal spurred on by this feeble beginning army worked the ball through the nets for three additional two-pointers and a couple of fouls the half ended with many repeating his performance of the haverford game that of sending a long shot for a beautiful core continued on

lecturer of last week mr fred w smith of the world alliance for friendship among the nations in the address delivered at the south side high school last thursday the twelfth the solution of these prob lems was reached in a rounda bout though distinctly edifying way the speaker first gained the confidence of his audience by addressing them not in the time honored fashion as the most intelligent group of young men that he had seen anywhere but a common ordinary lot of dubs such as i could meet any where such frankness was appealing and the audience strained for every word which followed mr smith then qualified his statement by congratulating the student body first because it was identified with a well known institution and secondly because they were part of a great psychology throughout the world living in a time of great intellectual survival he also extended felicitations to his hearers for having the longest holiday they would enjoy for many years to come education as the lecturer pointed out is rapidly increas ing in scope and intensity throughout the world walsh the historian announces that there is a world-wide field for education greater than at any time since the 13th century in the united states an exam ination of the intended legacies of wealthy men indicates that more money will be spent : on education in the next twenty five years than has been spent for the century and a quarter preceding this age all the larger universities of the coun try are turning away twice as many students as they can ac commodate ten times the ca pacity of the university of mos
