instructors rev wm reed will address y m c a the upper field is the scene of great activity these days with the soccer and lacrosse squads both practicing 1 there dlaily as both squads need space to manieouver in to advantage it has been agreed that the soccer squad will have ex clusive use of the playing field on monday wednesday and friday and soon these days all the soccer men should be on hand the practice is confined at pres en to trying shots at the goal and then a short scrimmage as yet no effort is being made to develop combination play before that can be attempted there is a lot of kick ing around needed in order that the men may become accustomed to hamdilin'g the ball and themselves but no doubt in the near future tentative line-ups will be picked 1 and tried as the game with girard college is not so very distant and to have a winning soccer team it is necessary as it is in every sport that the men play well together there seem to be any amount of strong kickers en hand who will develop into ; dependable backs in time good line iraterial is as yet scarce and will take a lot of devel oping however judging from the large muimjber out a strong team should easily be built up in time to win its first game cross country trials tomorrow afternoon the lacrosse squad is making en couraging progress for the fall practice over fifty men have re ported to gapt maurer and many of these are practicing daily due to the fact that many of last year's varsity men have been lost by graduation there are many open ings on the team which must be filled this furnishes an

leister mcnulty pumph rey rodgers schwarzbach un derwood and vanbilliard the alpha rho chapter of pi delta epsilon the honorary fra ternity was instituted at lehigh university late last june owing to the fact that this was after the close of the college year the great majority of the student body is ignorant of the purpose of pi delta epsilon and the existence of a chapter at lehigh pi delta epsilon is a national honorary journalistic fraternity founded at syracuse university in 1909 the alpha rhio chapter re ceived the 16th charter granted this fraternity corresponds more nearly to phi beta kappa or to tau beta pi than to any other or ganization in the university it is an honorary society to which a limited number of the deserving upper classmen will be elected an nually from the lehigh brown & white lehigh burr and epi tome boards there will be no distinction made between fratern ity and non fraternity men two year's memibershiip indicating meri torious service on one of the above boards will be the sole qualification pi delta epsilom will not form a new living group nior will it re quire a great outlay of time on the part of its members short month ly meetings addresses etc togeth er with the few duties imlposed by the national organization will com prise the greater part of the activ ity the chief justification for the exist enice of the society will be as in phi beta kappa or tau beta pi the increased interest manifest ed and the resulting benefits deriv ed from the added attention to the activity for which the honor of election is conferred in this case a high journalistic rather than a high scholastic standing is the de termining factor for which the hon or is awarded the results of the establishment of this chapter will be as follows it will develop better team work among the publications ; it will centralize the journalistic power of the university so that it can be used mare efficiently to mold uni versity opinion to conduct cam paigns or in any other capacity where unity is necessary ; it can very well be used as a press club for the purpose of securing pub licity and obtaining deserved recog nition for lehigh activities ath letic or otherwise ; it will create greater incentive and therefore draw more and better competitors for positions on the various boards the net effect wil be marked im provement in all publications j a gardy

21 is busily engaged arranging trips for the clubs having several attractive engagements in view the university band at a meet ing held during the practice hour last thursday decided to extend its activities to include the r o t c a large number of the band members already belong to the unit and this number has now grown to about 35 the remainder of the band signified their willingness to play for the r o t c whenever the presence of a band at reviews and the like is desired regardless of the fact that they are not mem bers of the unit the band under this arrangement will be provided with uniforms more instruments and music by the government this does not alter the band's status as the university band in the least when playing at games smokers and other college func tions the present uniform of gob hats sweaters and white trousers will be worn as usual the only change effected by the band's de cision is that the r o t c will be able to boast of as complete an out fit as the best of lehigh's competi tors in that line although the mark reached by the band this year ini point of num bers and quality of music is un questionably high there is still plenty of room for more good ma terial if all the musicians in col lege get behind the band its future as a permanent organization is as sured arcadia to back all freshman rules council meets swimmers notice although the game tomorrow af ternoon with the university of ro chester football team is not consid ered a hard battle for the lehigh warriors tom keady has put the whole team through a number of good scrimmages in order that they will be in the best of shape for the game on tuesday afternoon at dusk whlen the brown anld white toilers were preparing to leave the field tom surprised them by tell ing them ito don their head gears for scrimmages it did not last long but it was a gruelling fight and lasted into the fast-coming darkness gulick and larkin have been holding down the end jobs pretty regularly and by their good work it is judged that that they will be in the start of saturday's game cus ick's work at tackle shows that he has about recovered from his in jured leg and will be in 1 good shape to enter with bob good at the tackles mccarthy and maginnes have been working nicely at the guard positions and will be the se lections for these two responsible positions goldman and w spring steen have been alternating thru most of the practices this week at center and the man to fill this po sition is still in doubt most like ly goldman will be picked as a re sult of bis splendid work in last saturday's contest with rutgers mike wilson followed the first team a good deal and it is likely that he wild be inserted in the game af ter it gets under way the backfield has been shuffled about a good deal during the past week and a selection will foe hard to make harry rote who featured in the rutgers game by ms splend id 45-yard run for a touchdown has been handling the team in fine style and has made a big impression by his long runs capt herriegton has been used at right halfback for the greater part of the time and will enter the game at this position the other two positions are not quite so certain as there have been a number of exchanges between henzleman savaria lingle and goleman the two latter men are rather light and will most likely be used for open field running while savaria and henzleman wil'l entef the game for the main purpose of line plunging the team representing 1 the uni versity of rochester will be some what handicapped by the loss of their captain and the poor condition of one or two of their first-string men but coach sullivan gives promise of bringing a fairly strong team to bethlehem the lineup which will be used will be almost the same one that held the cornell eleven to two touchdowns and scored a six-pointer for rochester merson will take the place of capt harris at fullback continued on page three in comparing the teams by their weights it is found that the ro chester line outweighs the lehigh forward's by only a small margin at the last arcadia meeting which was held thursday night of last week there were brought up several violations of the freshman rules the question was thoroughly discussed and the outcome is that the arcadia is going to back up all the rules of the university and see that all violations of the rules are brought up and the offenders pun ished all men who desire to go out for positions as plungers and divers on the swimming team will report to coach mahoney in the gym next monday at 4 p m for preliminary workouts freshman football the freshman football team is being organized in preparation for playing games with several neigh boring 1 high schools practice is held every afternoon on the upper field and all freshmen are urged to come out in order to make the team a successful one oni monday the inter-fraternity council held a very brief meeting the holding o<f a big dance after the lafayette game was discussed in all probability such a dance will be held no other new business was taken up civil society plans for first gathering on next thursday night oct 21 at 7 30 p m the civil engineering society will hold its first meeting in fritz laboratory as yet no definite program has been arranged for the evening but in all probability president drinker will give a short talk prof fogg head of the naval engineering de partment and prof chapman of the same department as well as sev eral other members of the civil and naval staffs will have something worth while to say prof fuller will make some tests son g simull formerly of the re of materials laboratory and in the hydraulic lab so as to give the lower classmen who as yet have had no opportunity to see this ap paratus work an idea as to how such tests are made in addition to the regular pro gram it will be necessary to elect some new officers to replace those men who have not returned to col lege as in previous years a guessing contest will be held with prizes as the award's for the successful con testarils the contest however will not be similar to those of preced ing meets but something quite dif ferent of course there will be the usual smokes and cobs as well as a royal good time for those who attend all men in the civil and naval depart ments are urged to be present this includes the men in the entering class who will be very welcome and who should take advantage of this opportunity to meet the older men interested in the same fields bethlehem pa friday october 15 1920 rifle club about to
