league meets tomorrow night the band will stage its first dance of the season at drown hall the students are not buying the tickets as fast as they might yet it is expected that when the time comes they will come across the success or failure of the project depends on the student body for it is not expected that many of the town folks will attend it is to be run as a regular col lege dance except that the band will have the entire operation in their hands there has been some mis givings about this on the part of some of the students but it can be assured that they will be entirely satisfied the men have worked hard and long in preparation for this and having an able leader as they do there is no reason whatever why the people should not be en tirely satisfied the band is an organization en tirely different from any other in college for they have no seasons in which to appear it is all during the year on account of this it has been thought well to offer some small inducement to get men for as the case now stands the whole thing is unstable so in the near future the band is to have a banquet which will here after be a yearly affair the proceeds of the dance to help defray ex penses with this object in view ii is hoped that the whole-hearted support of the student body will be received for it is only one more step to miake a real something of the l u band

with a very good average the best work was done by capt rath bone who bowled 180 and 190 dur continued on page four after the warm weather of the past week baseball practice has been going forward rapidly getting into shape a squad of about 100 men re ported at the first practice last week and this week the first cut reduced the number to about 35 another cut later will probably be made to get the squad down to vvorking size the diamond has about dried up and practice has been going on there for several days about all that is being done so far is batting prac tice and the pitchers are working oat the kinks in their arms the prospects this year are for a team nearly up to the average of last year's the graduation of mat bag and johnson and wilson leav ing school left several big gaps to be filled to occupy the vacant po sitions coach keady has the squad of last year and some fairly good new material to select from fortunately the infield of last year is intact savaria donovan rote and yap being available for infield duty with these men for a starter and with several new men out a strong infield should result among the most promising of the squad out are allen simpson rog ers boynton piersal reefe carey and bryan for the outfield several men from last year's team are available the absence of matbag who was proba bly the best outfielder in collegiate ranks last year will of course be felt larkin and thompson of last ytar's team are on hand and sa varia may be shifted to an outfield post other men out are white etssemer cusick magioines cou s-ms morgan and mcßride for mound duty the mainstay w ill probably be lees who won the most games on last year's team pfeiffer another old veteran is on hand while new men out are numstley conroy and roth from these men must be developed the pitching staff and if any of the new men come through this department will be well taken care of herrington who caught most of the games two years ago will prob r bly be the mainstay of the catching staff but some promising material is on hand to help him ouit sny der on the squad for several years read sebring and mackenzie are also out if several good men can be picked from this new material the baseball team should be up to the standard of other years however it will probably be several weeks before a real line can be had on the team the first game of the year is scheduled with the university oi 1 ermont for april 2d on the home grounds while it is several years since the wjeather permitted the opening games to be played weather conditions this year indicate an early start candidates who have come out for assistant manager to date are lock decker boyd wallace for stall beitzell buckley balderson cullahan reddington and sprague the annual meeting of the

this year they are : perm state yale penn sylvania cornell columbia prince ton and lehigh the perm state teoim winners of the title last year seem to be heading straight for the sane honor this year for their rec ord against the teams which will oppose them today and tomorrow is ciear of defeats with the excep tion of the navy which team is not entered in the interco'llegiates this season penini state defeated every team they have come up against cornell and lehigh are probably the best teams after state lehigh has won from west virginia perm columbia and springfield while they have lost to brown cornell and perm state cornell defeated lehigh brown columbia and brooklyn poly losing to perm and perm state included among perm's victories have been cornell colum bia west virginia and princeton having been defeated by lehigh and the navy from this resume it is evident that wrestling records have been pretty inconsistent this year and the intercollegiates will be largely a matter of stamina and fight am of the teams except state who has a slight edge are well matched and the meets today and saturday will be keenly con tested the lehigh representatives who vill go to the mat for intercollegiate honors are schwarzbach myers gihons capt bertolet loeser roy and carlisle of these captain bertolet is lehigh's best bet he has not lost a bout this year and re membering that he won from the state 145-poumder his chances are pretty good if he is sufficiently re covered from his late illness berto j let should be one of the winners this year loeser another of the best men on the brown and white squad will have as his most formidable oppo nent capt ashby of perm the ! quaker 158-pounder is regarded as lore of the best men in his class i arid has just a little edge on the | blown and white man meyers . i in the 125-pound class is expected to give a good account of himself i a also is schwarzbach in the light .; weight department gihon will prob i.ably have little chance against i ! capt detas of state who was inter jciljegiate champion last year car lisle the heavyweight will go into the meet weighing only about 18c continued on page four frosh to play perkiomen
