usual interest was shown by the fair juliets at fern sem while the customary serenading was in progress during the last lap of the p-rade at the rutgers game the lehigh band showed up well as it strove to hold its own against the bethle hem steel co band hired for the occasion by a rutgers alumnus to inspire the five trainroads of rutgers rooters among its achieve ments at the game the band can count the impetus it gave to the spirit of the lehigh rooters when the latter swayed and swung their caps in unison as everybody takes his hat off to lehigh was struck up * although hot provided with uniforms the band succeeded in producing a pleasing effect on saturday when each member was distinguishable by his white mid dy hat some of the latter did not fit as if made especially for their wearers but this was not noticeable to any degree several crack players are numbered among its members the trombone section in particular hav ing several men who have done pro fessional playing the

the in clement weather the number at tending the affair was not as large as expected but there was a com fortable attendance so that the floor was not as crowded as is often the case the music

permission from the ar cadia they floated a flag bearing the numerals one-nine-two-three from the college flag-pole presented to the col lege by the class of 1878 respectfully edward j lapp president pro tern for the class of 1923 continued on third page in spite of unfavorable weather conditions the tennis tournament has proceeded and nearly all of the first round matches have been played the surprise of the first round was the winning of mattson fighting like demons during every minute of play the brown and white pigskin artists surpass ed the fondest hopes for revenge of their enthusiastic backers when they sent coach sanford s famous rutgers eleven back to new bruns wick without having crossed our goal line while lehigh succeeded in getting the ball over three times for a total of 19 points the game was one of the most spectacular and hard fought con tests that has ever been staged on taylor field and was witnessed by an unusually large early season crowd a large delegation of rutgers f olio wers ,,, headed by the tmhifrhgm steel band were on hand to urge their big red team to what was looked upon by them be fore the game as an almost certain victory on the other hand two sections were packed with the lehigh cheer ing section which showed more spirit than has been evidenced in several years and the benefit de rived by this fighting spirit was in great evidence in the team as they played to a man entirely through the game with a fight that can't help but win football games it is impossible to pick one in dividual star for the brown and white because every man on the team played a spectacular game in his respective position continued on third page one of the main factors in le high s defensive strength was the remarkable playing of coach keady s stellar ends wilson and larkin they were down the field in the backfield coach keady was forced to make several sub stitutions henzelman simend inger and douglas started the game but on the third play of the game simendinger whose sensa tional work was one of the main factors of the game last saturday received a dislocated shoulder and w r ill probabiy be out of the game for at least a month rote who made his first appearance this sea son also received a serious injury to his right cheek bone only a few minutes after he had replaced smith he had just finished mak ing a spectacular 25-yard end run and on the next play received the kick which forced him to retire from the game liston who re placed rote in the third period brought the stands to their feet time and time again by his wonder ful broken field running and line plunging and on three successive plays he carried the ball from mid field over the line for the second touchdown henzelman also play ed a brilliant gome in the backfield and his forw t ard pass to wilson was responsible for the first scoring and near the end of the last quarter he carried the ball over himself by a series of line plunges those present at the y m c a meeeting last sunday evening had the pleasure of hearing an address on world conditions of tintfely in terest and at the same time of com ing in contact with a man of strong and pleasing personality j lovell murray who is connected with the student volunteer movement miss gladys lees a capable vocalist from virginia rendered several selections which met with the ap proval of those present frank walters 23 cellist and carl bern er pianist accompanied miss lees mr murray whom a large num ber of lehigh men have met on previous occasions dealt with var ious phases of world problems aris ing in large part in consequence of the world war he spoke of the advance of democracy and showed its close linking with the christian ideals he stated that although reconstruction in france and neighboring countries has been carried sa with amazing vigor other countries equally destitute in consequence of the drain on their man-power are not so fortunate in reaching the ear of american civil ization he referred in detail to india where he has been engaged for some time in missionary work and on whose conditions he is an authority he declared that mil lions are clamoring for christian teachers in india citing several in stances to prove his point the conditions in india as a direct re sult of the inconceivably monstrous caste system are beyond descrip tion mr murray declared and india's people want christian teachers to show them the way to better or at least bearable social conditions ; they are being disap pointed ; there are not enough men to carry on the work the door of opportunity is now open and the college men of america are being appealed to to go abroad and help the progress of democracy and civilization by teaching these peo ple the rudiments and ideals of christianity around which these more modern social conceptions are woven mr murray clinched his appeal with the following can we safely afford to send our best resources our best leaders and engineers into foreign fields as we are now doing in many instances develop the gigantic latent powers of the chinese the indians and others so that they will be capable of competing with us industrially and warring with us perchance with the same scientific skill now know to the western world — can we safely do these things without at the same time instilling into those peoples christianity so that their ambitions may be in the same plane and harmony with ours continued on third page after the meeting mr murray met various members of the living groups as previously arranged by postals sent out to fraternities and dormitories to discuss sending le high's quota of men to the inter national convention of the student volunteer movement to be held this year in dcs moines a repre sentative number were not present one of the most successful smokers ever presented at lehigh was held friday evening when the student body got together to work up the necessary pep for the clash with rutgers on the follow ing day the musical athletic and oratorical talents of the college all contributed their share of the entertainment m b tate 20 acted as master of ceremonies and introduced george beck 03 of the chemistry department as the first speaker mr beck is known as one of le high s most active alumni and his talk carried a big message to all undergraduates . he spoke of col lege spirit and attributed the lack of it in the men to either laziness jseliimiixies'h or iiiaifieiexice a man of this attitude does not deserve to have his team win beck said that the outcome of the rutgers game depended entirely on the support of the grand stand and that le high would lose unless the men stuck behind the team for every gain and every loss a wrestling match followed this talk between two 145-pound men e loeser 21 and 0 wuerz 20 it lasted through a six-minute period and gave both men ample opportunity to show that they are veterans at the game f a bart lett gym instructor acted as referee late in the evening e booth 20 refereed another six-minute match in the 125-pound class be tween j bertolet 21 and j rein hardt 20 this was also a very clever exhibition no smoker would be complete without a talk from okey he reviewed the history of college foot ball and especially lehigh football the first college to play football in the united states was rutgers which organized a team fifty 1 years ago on the other hand the game was not begun at lehigh until the eighties lehigh permanently es tablished a team in 1884 when lafayette was beaten by a score of 10-4 okey then told the men what they were to expect from rutgers under such an able coach as foster sanford and reminded them of last year's game when rutgers trounced us to the tune of 39-0 he stated that he would con sider lehigh s season successful if this stain of last year were wiped out okey left the floor in a riot of cheers continued on third page ' ' bosey ' ' reiter was reserved for the last and gave another of his famous talks on the • ' spirit of the bayonet bosey named speed and tenacity as two requisites for success but stated that they are both worthless if not accompanied by the spirit of fight the team had the first two requisites but the third would be lacking if the sup porters would not supply it at the rutgers game and the day would there will be a meeting of those men who are not represented by any living group
