held down due only to mc governs superiority and ex perience mcgovern will be out of the sport until after mid years due to a slight arm in jury in the 125-pound class palm managed to win out over al

maroon exciting meet not decid ed until final event making score 33-26 holt stars that lehigh tennis stars past and present occupy an en viable position among the ten nis luminaries of the country is evidenced by the ratings they have received in the lists of the national and middle states con testants for the last three years the triumvirate of stars mercur sullivan and seligson have been ' gathering laurels both for themselves and lehigh for some time past fritz mercur the oldest of the three in respect to tennis experience was middle atlantic states in tercollegiate champion in 1925 when this competition was or iginated ; since then his vic tories throughout the east have been manifold for the 1926 season he was rated as 18th among the national stars and his rating in the middle states region for the season just pass ed was that of sth in the singles and paired with wallace john son first in the doubles the official national ratings have not yet been published but william t tiyen in his selec tion of the 12 greatest players of the past year mentions mer cur as number ten so that it is reasonable to assume that he will undoubtedly be among the first 15 in the official list neil sullivan captain-elect of the 1928 lehigh team graduat ed unexpectedly on founder's day last october this was a severe blow to the very excel lent prospects of the team for the coming season because he had in the past two years held an enviable position among in tercollegiate stars in 1926 he was rated as third in the na tional intercollegiate lists yield ing place only to holman and chandler western stars and being first among the collegiate players here in the east for the 1927 season he was listed by coach dell of princeton as 6th high man in eastern col legiate circles and was officially rated as 11th in the middle states since his graduation neil has turned his attention to squash racquets and has al ready begun to assume a prom inent position in this sport which is closely allied to his favorite julius seligson the last of the trio has yet to represent le high in varsity competition but will be eligible for the 1928 team last year he was a freshman and although twice national indoor junior cham pion he was unable to compete with the varsity his attempt at a third national junior in door championship was frus trated during the christmas va cation when after overwhelm ing all opponents until the final round a former schoolmate frank shields of new york defeated him paired with shields he had little difficulty in running through all opposition to his first national junior in door doubles title during the most recent season he was eas tern new york turf champion and also the champion of brook lyn the finish of the detroit invitation tournament found him at the top of the list and he was runner-up in the men's championship of new york these and other excellent show ings caused him to be rated 7th in the eastern states division as recently published notice with this issue the brown and white suspends publica tion until after mid-terms at a meeting of the mathe matics journal and research society held at eleven o'clock tuesday in room 31 packer hall professor j b reynolds presented a paper on chains the meeting was well attended by members of the faculty es pecially those in the department of mathematics which was fully represented the contents of professor reynold's paper dealt with the derivation of a formula per taining to the motion of chain on wire with this formula as a basis professor reynolds was able to calculate eleven separ ate and distinct results which previously it had been neces sary to compute independently during the second term the mathematics journal and re search club will meet on alter nate thursdays at eleven the purpose of the society is to pro mote original research and read ing in mathematics and the papers and discussions to which its meetings will be d evoted will be of particular interest to members of the faculty and the more advanced students of mathematics the cyanide club is once again busily engaged in its pro gram of attempting to create better understanding and more friendly feeling between lehigh and those colleges which it meets in athletic competition all visiting teams have been met and entertained thus far it has meant the expenditure of quite a bit of time and energy as yet no definite line of pro cedure has been determined at the next regular meeting of the society in february the man agers of the various sports will be invited to take part in a gen eral discussion of a definite line of proceedure which the club may carry out cyanide will have a corner of jack petriken's office in drown hall in which the files of the society will be kept each of the twenty members will have a card upon which will be placed his assignments for the coming year all correspon dence from visiting teams will also be filed in the office in this way the club will have a definite headquarters where students may get in touch with any of its members at this time the constitution of the society is being revised to a considerable extent prog ress is also noted on the blank form that is to be sent to all visiting teams the form will ask for information regarding the plans of the teams the num ber of men the names of their fraternities if any and such items it will be a case of lehigh versus lafayette again tomor row night in taylor gymna sium for both the varsity and freshman quintets of the time honored rivals are scheduled to do battle although the year ling game will be interesting it will be the varsity clash that will attract the capacity crowd which is expected captain billmeyer and his teammates must account for a victory to satiate the desires of their cohorts for only the pres ent seniors can recall a defeat at the hands of lafayette in the court game coach jim baldwin's team took the first game of the 1924-1925 series but dropped the second game with the down the river boys 29-19 and a question remained as to which was the better team to prevent a recurrence of the situation three games were played in each of the fol lowing two seasons lehigh fives have reigned supreme in this period decisive scores re main on the record books as evi dence of this fact so the re sult of the coming tilt means either a break in the string of brown and white victories or a continuation of the number of successive wins to seven mike miller lafayette's coach will bring a strong but inconsistent team to bethlehem included in the starting line-up are three lettermen and two sophomores of whose individ ual ability there is no question leisenring houser and mcguire are figures well known to ath letic followers at lehigh the former is a good shot houser football end is big and fast and deadly under the basket mcguire the captain is play ing his third season for lafay ette and is the type of guard who has an affinity for the man assigned to him lipetz will be remembered as the diminu tive but quick and clever for ward of last year's frosh five and sherwood as the husky cen ter with the uncanny eye he played football this fall and now is first-string guard in basket ball foremost among the ma roon reserves is the huge grid iron leader atkinson who has been regular center for the past two seasons then there are this football players chimenti and sarni who substituted at guards last year and messinger and reaser forwards who have played against the bethlehem collegians before terwilliger phillips clouser and kelly com plete the squad but it is the eastonian's rec ord that makes a choice of the possible winner difficult re vealing unexpected strength la fayette began the season in an impressive manner after break ing even in the first two games with drexel and western mary landc successive victories fol lowed on foreign floors over two major opponents navy and princeton then lafayette con tinued its brilliant streak by swamping moravian 64-23 in the memorial gym at easton suddenly the fate of miller's proteges changed and a row of defeats followed despite the fact that the leopards were playing on their home floor rutgers veteran team finished on top in a close game and the quintet from little upsala college of east orange n j which had held yale leaders of the eas tern intercollegiate league to a 19-14 score outscored the leopards by four points city continued on page four on saturday night as prelim inary to the varsity game the freshman basketball team will meet the lafayette freshmen at seven o'clock in the lower gym this is the first game for the freshman quintet since the holidays and the second since the season opened the first re sulting in a defeat by a close margin at the hands of the freeland mining and mechani cal school since freshman basketball was first organized at lehigh no team has lost at home to the lafayette year lings so that the team should come through with a victory if this precedent means anything last year's home game was won in the very last minute of play on a field goal by many after a game which was anybody's un til the very last moment since the last game there have been a great many changes in the team so that aside from the fact that there will be sev eral new faces in the line-up it is not definitely known just who will start the game how ever mcelroy lohmeyer dav is stewart decker and nem etz will undoubtedly see ser vice during the game schaub has an injured foot and so it is doubtful if he will be able to play this is the first of the series with the lafayette frosh the next game taking place at easton after mid-years cash prizes will be awarded for the best editorials published in college journals during the academic year 1927-28
