what does modern youth think of established customs and institutions of today according to c g ditt mer professor of sociology at new york university the idea of a re volt of youth 1 exists mainly in the minds of our elders and has little basis for fact the results of a questionnaire given to 75 women and 75 men at new york university summer school show the following as the beliefs of the majority 1 we are hampered in self-ex pression 2 we do not chafe un der the present social regulation of our conduct with members of the opposite sex 3 not every man in america who really has the stuff in him can get to the top 4 most people who are poor are not poor because they are made of poor stuff to begin with 5 the idea that there is plenty of room at the top of the ladder be cause there are so few who are ca pable of climbing it is false 6 there is plenty of room at the top because so few are given the adequate chance to climb 7 this country does not have too much poverty in proportion to its wealth 8 america is not a nation of mon ey grubbers and does not lack high er spiritual values 9 organized religion is not so far behind the times that it consti tutes a drag on society 10 our democracy has not been a failure 11 politicians are a bunch of grafters 12 the present crime wave is due to political corruption and police protection 13 the eighteenth amendment is not a step in the right direction it is not a noble experiment 14 it is very nearly impossible to indict a million dollars 15 real justice can be made possible by the present le gal procedure our present system is not behind the times 16 news papers are guilty of coloring the news they pander to interests and do not give us all the news that is fit to print by a break in the form of a bad pass after the philadelphians gained a touchdown in the last minutes of the first half art davidowitz even ed the score for lehigh in the third period by a 65-yard dash but the brown and white was set behind again by a field goal propelled from the toe of walter masters perm ace in the last quarter a great fight by the lehigh war riors in the third period thrilled the stands when the solid brown and white forward wall held the penn sylvania backs for four downs on the 3-yard line davidowitz's long dash through almost the entire perm team was by far the outstanding feat of the game his work on the defense equalled his ground gaining ability constantly threatening to over throw the red and blue throughout the game and displaying a brand of football that has rarely been equalled by any lehigh team in the past decade the brown and white gridders battling against heavy odds held a powerful perm machine to a 10-7 score at franklin field last saturday the game was witnessed by a throng of 30,000 madly cheering enthusiasts regardless of the score the game will live in lehigh football history for it has been a long time since a team bearing the brown and white has shown such a combined array of defensive and offensive strength and at the same time such indomit able gameness the disappointing feature of the game was the fact that the perm victory was secured o d k pledges four new

plays lehigh decided to kick and ware booted the pigskin to the opponents 25 yard line perm unable to make a decisive gain promptly returned the kick and the period became lit tle more than a punting duel with neither side profiting much for more than two-thirds of the per iod the ball remained in the quak er territory until a fine boot by gentle rolled out on the lehigh 30 yard line hall got in several tackles that clowned gentle and carlsen far behind their own line and on the punts had the perm safety man nailed as soon as he touched the ball perm stars enter game at the beginning of the second period perm was in possession of the ball in the center of the field and started a rally that was short lived a series of end runs brought the ball to the brown and white 30-yard line but the line tightened and perm lost the ball after an unsuccessful attempt to gain ware ripped off a 54-yard kick and put the ball well out of danger at this point masters and opekum en tered the game for

masters playing the safety position was nailed on his own 35-yard line gette got away for a 20-yard trip around end and masters imme diately followed with a run that placed the ball on lehigh's 13-yard line for a first down once again the line proved its power and gameness by forcing masters to try a placement that was com pletely smothered and lehigh took the ball on the 20-yard line ware kicked at once and after unsuccess ful attempts at gain gentle return ed the kick here davvy madejiis one bad play of the game by miss ing the kick being nailed on his own 20-yard line before he could get under way then came the break that resulted in perm's vic tory with two minutes of the half left it appeared that no scoring would result on lehigh first play after the punt davvy was unable to handle a bad pass from center and the ball bounded into the air maigi crashing through tackle nabbed the ball before it touched the ground and after standing dead in his tracks for a moment raced across the line with the ball for a touch down none of the players seemed to realize what was happening and no attempt was made to stop the burly quaker tackle the score was ruled legal by the
