              hess football coach baltimore journalist has had wide experience in field a black flag black looks and black clouds — the lafayette game displayed all these but the black flag was the most obvious just as lafayette made her first touchdown up went a black inky banner on the staff ap parently atop the visitors stands it whipped and fluttered in the uncertain chilly breeze in seem ing defiance to the brown and white lehigh emblem just why lafayette boasting of maroon and white should fly a black flag was an unanswered question to many a spectator questions searching and ar gument in english and other lan guages have nevertheless given a solution the black flag is the emblem of the windiski betezsne pomagajocse drustos — believe it or not it was merely a coinci dence that the flag was raised during the game this is a win dish-hungarian organization en tirely harmless names are misleading and so are black flags art exhibition here dec 2 = 21 h e warner alumni feted

editorial association be formed to bring to the front the student influence which is prominent both in europe and in the orient especially in jap an and china he says educated youth must someday control the world and the college newspaper with international editorial exchange of views is one way to make the student influence a world-wide unit victory sweeter than sweet to brown and white supporters as the tradition-hunted underdog of the most under variety however lehigh's hopes were fastened on a fast light backfield lafayette was confident in its powerful line but the speedy backs of lehigh behind an inspired lehigh line beat lafay ette a desperate hard-fighting la fayette in the wild hysterical jubilation last saturday evening lehigh folk were acclaiming high among the heroes of the combat art davido witz senior quarterback of scran ton and tom nora sprinting left halfback who both scored touch downs and tommy ayre substi tute center who blocked cook's try for a goal from placement in the fading minutes of the final period never has there been seen in tay lor stadium such a joyous outburst of enthusiasm as that displayed by the lehigh students after the time keeper's whistle ended the final quarter and the game for lehigh the season has been the most suc cessful for many a year and lehigh students are already confident that their team can repeat no paper dec 3

celebrating successes or in some cases defeats and looking forward to next year when they will defeat their traditional rivals somewhere in this favored foot ball land on the day of traditional clashes there may be a more joyous celebration over a victory than there was in taylor stadium on saturday but this is extremely doubtful through the last ten successive seasons in this football feud which started in the lehigh valley nearly half a century ago lafayette has beaten its cherished neighborhood foe without great difficulty year after year and with a relentless monotony that would have broken the spirit of all but the lehigh men who waited and hoped and prayed for victory but last saturday after noon lehigh had its day and the single point margin of triumph could not have been traded in beth lehem for ten tons of gold lehigh went into battle saturday davidowitz scoring first lehigh touchdown the american smelting and re fining company and the nichols copper company were

conference with the best business brains and executive ability of the nation is be ing widely commended both in the united states and abroad this mobilization of the representatives of great industries and enormous capital will insure to the country a period of immediate and substantial activity in the commercial field in the opinion of the heads of corpor ations bankers and leaders of trade everywhere the hoover conference has been termed the country's most striking exhibition of team work since the world war."by this wise and timely move the president has revealed his knowledge and aptitude for the ex ecutive office of this great nation h ecalled captains of industry to gether met them daily at the white house not to lecture them but to learn their opinions and to get their advice on economic matters * ♦ ♦ henry ford has done his bit to wards re-establishing national con fidence in american business im mediately after the conference in washington he announced that all employees of the ford industries would receive a substantial wage increase mr ford has thus defin itely revealed his feeling as regards our national economic stability and furthermore he has put it into prac tice when one stops to consider how few the thousands of ford workers are compared to the 120 millions of people in this country this act ap parently dwindles in significance but the psychology of this move is far more powerful than its actual concrete benefits whether or not any other corporations increase their wage rates ford's courageous ac tion is bound to exert a tremendous influence the actual beneficiaries will return a good share of their in creased earnings through the chan nels of trade more than that they will be living proof that our nation al commercial and economic stabil ity is secure they will breathe a spirit of optimism and they will be personal advocates of the cause among the laboring classes and the laboring classes form just as im portant a factor in american indus trial life as do the corporation ex ecutives economic experts and wealthy stock operatives this ac tion of the flivver king possesses greater value in its intangible effects than in its more concrete results it constitutes an extremely noble ges ture * * ♦ evidently despairing of ever emul ating his famous ancestor king richard 111 who shouted in shakes peare's immortal lines a horse a horse my kingdom for a horse the prince of wales has forsaken equine sports although the heir apparent attempted nobly to over come an aversion of four legged beasts the journals record that he was only partially successful and then only part of the time long regarded as the authoratative atten tive moulder of masculine modes a world-wide retinue copied the prince's well-dressed shadow but perhaps even he has overstepped his powers recently the prince advocated knitting as a pastime he presented a london civic association with sev eral woolen articles that he had composed he stated that he found real enjoyment in this avocation and that he was acquiring the habit there may be an appeal in the con stant inter-change of soft woolen strands in the regular surge of a high spirited rocking chair and in trre clang of steel on steel as the knitting shafts collide under the im petus of royal fingers but if so americans have not yet discovered them fear is prevalent here t+iat western admirers of the prince will continue to be unhorsed as reg ularly as usual in spite of the in evitable maelstrom of criticism which inevitably follow their deser tion of

announced to those few people in bethlehem and vicin it who did not already know that victory was finally won for the first time in 11 years at the end of the game placards appeared announcing the bonfire and from that time until the bon fire was ignited and even then stu dents worked gathering ftogether the needed materials then while the flames leaped in the air im promtu songs and cheers went heavenward in vociferous signs of gratitude the band led an impromtu par ade after the game over the same route that it had followed the night before friday night's parade was policed and directed by members of arcadia in contrast with the par ade last year when property along the route was either seized or de stroyed this year's march was an exhibition of orderliness it was pre ceded

supporters see fighting team nose out maroon to end 1 1 year losing streak on taylor field saturday 1 point margin gained by blocked placements brown and white scores twice in first half — stops leopard attack several times in thrilling goal line stands it's been done it's been done i for three days bonfires cheers paint and wild celebrations have proclaimed this fact but lehigh students are still trying to make themselves believe that it is true that after 1 1 years of expectant hopes and bitter disappointments their football team finally triumphed over the lafayette leopard but if the memory of those thrilling minutes in taylor field last saturday is not to be trusted the score 13-12 stands as conclusive if narrow proof of the victory which lehigh teams have sought since 1918 future history will some day list this game as the twenty-fourth lehigh victory in a sixty-three game series but to those lehigh men who swarmed on the field after the last nervous minute it will always live as a game apart even more brilliant than the other games which have made this series the longest in gridiron history each eleven scored two touchdowns but the game went to lehigh simply because art davidowitz kicked a perfect place ment over the crossbar after he had crossed the line for his team's first six-pointer the lehigh line smothered the first at tempt of alan cook leopard tackle to boot the extra point and saved the game for lehigh by partially blocking cook's try for the tying point after the second lafayette score in the fourth period the magnificent defensive work of jim fritts at fullback enabled the lehigh eleven to hold lafayette in her own terri tory throughout most of the first half when lehigh tallied both of her touchdowns fritts repeatedly dived over the line to nail woodfin and wilcox at the line of scrimmage and received an ovation when he was replaced by van blarcom near the end of the first half tubby miller playing his final game for the brown and white smashed through the leopard line and smeared the lafayette backs when the powerful leopard attack seemed sure to send lehigh down to her twelfth straight defeat mclernon and many showed their usual good form davidowitz led attack art davidowitz whose play at times was erratic draws a large share of the glory for lehigh's vic tory the scranton ■ quarterback scored seven points and chose his plays cannily when lehigh was given the opportunity to score it was davvy who tossed the 20-yard pass to tom nora which resulted in lehigh's second touchdown at ware did the kicking after pinck ney was removed with an injury and punted the ball into lafayette's territory several times staving off the vicious leopard advances woodfin socplow and tellier were the usual type of fast hard hitting backs and in the last two periods socolow slipped through the lehigh line at will until an in jury forced him to leave the game edraney sherwood and cook stood out on the maroon line play ing strong defensive games as well as opening up great holes in the le high defense although the first half was largely lehigh's the leopard rose up on his hind legs in the last two periods and had the brown and white eleven fighting with its back to the wall lehigh outplays maroon in the first period austy tate's eleven outplayed the maroon-jer seyed team completely davidowitz kicked off to lafayette after hold ing the maroons in their own ter ritory lehigh received the ball at midfield on a poor kick over the sideline by woodfin the brown and white tried several plays at the line but failed to make a first down and pinkney kicked the punt was well directed and left lafayette in a dangerous position when the ball rolled out of bounds inside the 10 yard line woodfin kicked to the 40-yard line where davvy was naif ed in his tracks pinkney shot a pass to davvy v who tore down to the maroon's 15-yard line with the lehigh stands screaming for a score davvy and fritts made eight yards on the next two plays lehigh came out of the next huddle with davvy in position for an off tackle shot and running low the lehigh quarterback made the seven yards to the goal line for the first time since honey lewin put lehigh in the lead over lafayette with a field goal in the game of 1924 a lehigh eleven had scored before the leo pards davvy succeeded in the try for the extra point lehigh kicked off and tellier was downed on the 30-yard line la fayette tried a triple pass with an ejid run which netted five yards four more yards were gained with the same play around the other end woodfin crashed through guard for the first down but here the lehigh defense stiffened and the maroon was forced to kick davidowitz ran the ball back to his own 40-yard continued on page three tuesday
