writes report without authority that frank carideo former notre dame all-american football star has not even been asked to suc ceed austin a tate as gridiron mentor at lehigh was the emphatic statement of university authorities yesterday after philadelphia news papers had published stories to the contrary what is believed to be the real story behind this rumor was given a lehigh official by the editor of a local paper the editor dismissed one of his subordinates explains the official and the subordinate to get even tried to capture the editor's job as local representative for one of the national press associations by ex panding an unfounded rumor the version thus given was however not verified the stories as they appear state that carideo now head football coach at the university of missouri has already signed a contract to direct the lehigh team next fall no authority given he is supposed to have the assis tance of the three men at present helping coach tate no authority for the story is given nelson a kellogg director of athletics could not say how the rcrmor spread but his denial of its truth was a flat no speaking before the members of the lehigh home club last night he expanded on the curt state ment the last time i saw carideo he said was in 1932 he had been working under me at purdue as an assistant coach and was just leav ing to take a coaching job at the university of missouri i haven't even corresponded with him since then >* , president makes statement c r richards president of the university commenting on the carideo story said that even if a change in the athletic staff were contemplated it would not be publi cized during the gridiron season whenever there is any authen tic news concerning lehigh athlet ics it will come either from the of fice of the director of athletics or from my office the president stat ed anything emanating from oth er sources is to be doubted the carideo story almost paral lels that of a year ago when some unknown person circulated the im pending succession of alonzo stagg to the lehigh football throne speaker tells students of blast furnace prac tice in illustrated lec ture at meeting monday slag by-prod uct of pig iron used in making concrete blast furnace practice was the subject of an illustrated lecture giv en by a h fosdick superinten dent of blast furnaces at the beth lehem steel company at the meet ing of the metallurgical society last evening in williams hall mr fosdick explained with the aid of slides the structure opera tion and uses of blast furnaces in the making of pig-iron and the uses of by-products such as gas according to mr fosdick the blast furnace plays an important part in the production of pig-iron the furnaces at the bethlehem steel company are tall structures of steel with a lining of brick the hearth diameter jraries from twenty to twenty-four feet the height of the furnace is approximately ninety-two feet reviews popular idea the average man considers the operation of a blast furnace no more than the introducing of iron ore coke limestone and air in the top of the furnace and the extrac tion of pig-iron gas and slag at the bottom there are many things to con sider before this operation can take place the relative amounts of ore coke limestone and the pressure of the hot air blast must be taken into account the quality of the ore is of great importance in the ex traction process if the pressure is not regulated the furnace slips or blows off a thick cloud of dirt and smoke this tends to spoil the finished product and is usually the result of rushing the action of the blast mr fos dick stated cites new uses continuing his talk mr fosdick cited some of the new uses for slag formerly a waste product this res idue was until about ten years ago absolutely useless now it is used for making concrete as road ma terial and for slag roofing a prod uct known as slag wool is slag spun into strips and forms the ba sis for wall-boards and interior flooring the most important by-product of the furnace is the gas he con cluded this contains carbon diox ide carbon monoxide hydrogen and nitrogen it is washed to clean it from dust dried and used to heat the stoves for the hot air blast and for running machinery in the plant at present the steel com pany is confining itself to the pro duction of gas in preference to pig iron due to the lack of market for the iron mustard and cheese buys lighting unit house-party leaves campus wrecked soft sleepy stillness supplants songs librarian talks on south american literature group elects

floyd w parsons e m 02 technical writer and magazine editor opened his ad dress before the members of the lehigh home club the visiting le high football squad and the coach ing staff last night at the elk's club in allentown he expressed a feeling of anti pathy for the every-man-for-him self attitude which has character ized american social intercourse and decided that a conformation to more altruistic principles is needed among people epitomizing the past decade of american history mr parsons said it has been the golden age of mechanical achievement but the stone age of economical develop ment approves nra policy he is entirely in sympathy with the nra regarding it he de clared the ultimate aim of pres ident roosevelt's endeavors is to bring about regional economical planning under centralized control and that is what the present de velopments are leading up to besides mr parsons w r oke son secretary and treasurer of the university nelson a kellogg di rector of athletics austin tate head football coach and h r rei ter professor of physical educa tion spoke at the meeting director kellogg limited his ad dress mostly to a denial of the ru mor spread recently to the
