officers elected the biology of sewage disposal is subject of discussion ably defending its side of the question resolved that censor ship of the representative arts should be abolished the lehigh team met the temple debators in a no-decision contest last night in coppee hall lehigh defending the affirmative side attempted to prove that the need for censorship is over empha sized that censorship defea f s its own purpose and that education should be substituted for censor ship lehigh's team composed of e f underwood w m brown revere beasley and david marks who delivered the rebuttal showed better form than they displayed at the syracuse meet temple wi'h the ease and assur ance of finished debators gave the following reasons for the retention of censorship that censorship does not restrict genius that all ad vanced nations of the world favor censorship and tliat censorship is our main safeguard against the placing of improper books in the hands of the young the temple debators in the order of speaking were charles collins george par sons and william ranon who also delivered the rebuttal mr ranon was a member of the team that de bated against oxford last year at temple r j s pigott one of the fore most power plant designers in the country addressed the lehigh stu dent section of the american so ciety of mechanical engineers last evening starting with the old re ciprocating engines of ten years ago and continuing to the ul tra modern mercury vapor system of the future mr pigott traced the steps of the attempt of the mechan ical engineers to increase the over all efficiencies of the steam plant and the development of cheaper power he explained the efforts of eu ropean engineers in the realm of high pressures ad the corresponding high temperatures and mode speci fically in the use of the benson boiler which uses steam at a pres sure which exceeds the critical or in other words that pressure of the steam at which it liquifies this boiler is an unusual and daring de sign in that the pressures used were unheard of a few years ago mr piggqtt contrasted powder coal stoker and hand fired installa tions as compared to initial costs maintenance and the life of the plans he compared the advisabil ity of location in determining the particular installation as regards cheap cost of fuel and labor this address was filled with ref erences to the power plants in stalled by the lecturer tomorrow mr piggott will inspect the new packard laboratory m.i.t physicist speaks monday musical clubs play at globe captain andy lehr will con clude his collegiate wrestling car eer this week when he leads le high's first undefeated wrestling team in the intercollegiates as a member of the freshman team four years ago andy won every one of his bouts

student possessions left in health office if bacteriologists had entered the field of sewage disposal earlier the many problems of rapid dispo sal would have been solved long ago as it was the civil engineers working on the problem managed to do a fair job without knowing the character of the bacteria and or ganisms with which they worked in this manner dr william ru dolfs chief of the new jersey de partment of sewage disposal speak ing at the civil engineering so ciety meet last night attacked his subject of the biology of sew age disposal , professor miller read a report to the a s c e saying that the lo cal society had decided to honor the highest ranking senior civil en gineer by remitting his initiation fee and the first two year's dues as a junior member of a s c e arts & science plan submitted this year's championship wrestl ing meet is unprecedented in that there are six of the seven individ ual champions from last year ready to defend their titles the 135 pound class is the only one in which there is not a defending title holder due to the graduation of dick lewis sensational lehigh welterweight in 1928 five of these wrestlers captain their respective teams in the 115 pound division josef son the barrel-chested little wrestl er from cornell is aiming to win his second title josefson and ed dy mcgovern brown and white star in 1928 grappled for first hon ors last year the cornell cham pion will have to overcome such op position as steele of perm state and phillips of lehigh to gain an other title captain wilson of perm state is defending the 125 pound crown it will be remember ed that wilson threw mike palm of lehigh in last year's title bout after which considerable verbal comment was directed at the ref yale shifts positions since there has been much shift ing of the competitors for the 135 154 and 158 pound positions at yale this year captain dodd will undoubtedly wrestle in the 135 pound class dodd is at present 145 pound champion and is a strong possibility for the 135 pound title win graham of princeton 158 pounder enters this meet as one of the most prominent wrestlers in the association during the last three years prior to his meeting with miller former yale champion in a dual meet last year graham had been undefeated for six seasons in the intercollegiates at princeton last winter graham turned the tables and forced miller to taste de feat for the first time in seven years of wrestling graham is a favor ite to repeat this year lehr meets stafford captain andy lehr of lehigh defends his title for the brown and white lehr has been defeated twice in the last two seasons both times by stafford of cornell in du al meets stafford was wrestling out of his class on each occasion johnson also of cornell was beat en by the lehigh captain in last year's intercollegiates and will compete for the title again this year the heavyweight title is held by captain stafford of cornell staf ford was runner-up in the 190 pound class for the united states olympic team last summer being a long and rangy wrestler his reach in arms and legs give him a decided advantage over shorter op ponents triad allowed to hold dance perm state is the only team of the seven mat aggregations that are guests of lehigh this week-end that has had an undefeated season the other six have records that are cov ered with many scars in the way of defeats perm state has had little trouble in winning the dual meets cornell is the only college that gave the nittany lions a scrap perm state defeated f navy 19-6 cornell 15-12 syracuse 27-0 and western re serve 39-0 lafayette bowed 30-0 and ohio u 30-6 captain wilson 125 pound intercollegiate cham pion in 1928 has won every bout steele 115 pound has lost only to josefson of cornell eisenman

decisions to his cerdit in campbell 158 pound er the nittany lions have another undefeated wrestler in the heavy weights perm state has not been so fortunate most of the bouts lost in the dual meets were lost in the 175 and unlimited classes stafford drops to 175 although cornell had excellent prospects at the beginning of the season coach o'connell's men have had only a moderately success ful season the ithacans have won two out of five dual meets engaged in this year o'connell had cap tain stafford 175 pound intercolle giate champion in the unlimited di vision in 1928 josefson 115 pound intercollegiate champion last year and johnson 158 pounder and runner up in the 175 pound class at princeton in 1928 as the nucleus of his team lipshitz 135 troudsel 125 and mcconnell 145 have wrestled very creditably this year for new men the 158 pound class proved to be the hard place to fill and in an attempt to strength en this berth johnson is wrestling 158 instead of 175 captain staf ford has moved down to the 175 pound class leaving the heavy weight division for wakeman or gow both of whom are football men of little experience this change leaves cornell very strong in the 115 158
