displayed the best passing game they have shown this year in defeating seton hall they outplay ed a team coming here with a rec ord of twelve victories out of thir teen starts lehigh passed well shot accu rately and on the whole played a game that left little to be desired the shooting of snyder and lingle brought the lehigh backers to their feet and the guarding of henschen and hartung compelled the visitors to rely on shots from the center of the floor captain lees played an excellent defensive game and his foul shooting was very good continued on page four lehigh started with a rush hardly had the game begun when henschen shot a pretty basket after a clever pass from lingle soon after snyder caged one after a se ries of passes then before the se ton hall passers could get started snyder had caged two more the visitors seemed unable to reach their basket and with the score 11 to 0 donavan finally scored for se ton hall from the center of the floor after twelve minutes of play the wrestling team will meet its strongest opponent to-morrow when it opposes the navy grapplers at annapolis the navy team has had a really wonderful record to date having won twenty seven of the twenty-eight bouts in the four matches in which they have taken part the last fourteen were won in succession in a single day seven of them being against the virginia military institute lehigh will not present her strongest line-up against the mid shipmen as shoemaker will be un able to wrestle due to the injury he sustained last saturday his place will be filled by either balderson or rogers who are the only ones re maining in that class the other doubtful classes are the 125-pound in which olcott and garber are the candidates the 135-pcjstnd in which gihon opposes thompson and the heavy-weight in which roth is chal lenging moorehouse coach billy sheridan has been drilling his men in offensive tactics during the past week as it is in this department tl«n most of the men are weakest it is understood that the coach believes his men do not get the jump on their opponents as often as should be and it is for this reason that he is laying particular stress on the offensive game the lehigh line-up will be as follows : — 115 — schwarzbach 125 — olcott or garber 135 — thompson or gihon 145 — balderson or rogers 158 — coxe 175 — carlisle heavy-weight — moorehouse or roth dr v s babasinian to address y m c a on wednesday afternoon the sophomore basketball team man aged to nose out the freshman dribblers in a fast and closely-con tested game by a score of 28 to 27 the two teams were very evenly matched and the lead passed from one side to the other many times during the match x at half time the squads were separated by only one point and at no time during the game except at the start of the first half was there a difference of more than three points in the score at the beginning of the game the lack of team work among the soph omores was apparent and the frosh were able to quickly roll up 11 points however the second-year men soon cut down this lead and from then on it was nip and tuck high scoring honors were won by c m roberts of the frosh who accounted for six double deckers hoagland coming second with five two-pointers the frosh used many substitutes and played well showing the results of coach bartlett's instruction genshart and hoagland starred for the sopho mores the summary : — sophs frosh uortz c . p e roberts ( ienshart .... f martin hoagland f . cm roberts buck g dußoise minster g groner scoring field goals c m roberts 6 hoagland 5

mermen will endeavor to repeat last satur day's performance this week when they take on the swarthmore col legians the philadelphians have a good fast aggregation this year but the defeat handed rutgers last week by coach lukens's swimmers makes lehigh the favorite to cop the laurels crownover former gi rard college star and now a fresh man at the main line institution seems to be the main threat of the visitors but harmon showing the form displayed last week should make him hustle the garnet swimmer holds several distance ti tles in and about philadelphia and is conceded to be one of the best distance men in this part of the country in all probability he will attempt to repeat the feat of gei bel the rutgers flash of winning three events coach lukens will likely start the same team which faced rutgers the meet gives promise of being fast from start to finish and sev eral more pool records are expect ed to go to the boards under wood the big plunger will attempt to better his mark of 69 feet made last week while harmon will en deavor to clip a second or so from the present records in the 100 and 220-yard swims astarita and childs will take care of the diving and stand an excellent chance of repeating last saturday's victories regad will pair up with under wood in the plunge event gang were and captain vannort stand an excellent chance of copping the breast-stroke and back-stroke re spectively the meet will start at 2 o'clock sharp in order to allow everyone to see the basketball game with the swarthmore team at 3 : 30 o'clock lehigh very prominent at electrical show swarthmore will be the opponents of the lehigh five to-morrow after noon in the taylor gymnasium at 3:30 o'clock immediately follow ing the swimming meet with the garnet mermen this will be the fourteenth game of the season and after the showing on wednesday night against seton hall much is expected of the lehigh team lit tle is known of the swarthmore team except that they have had a very unsuccessful season as com pared to other years only one reg ular captain yarnall who is the leading light of the aggregation re mains from last year's varsity al though several of the men have been playing with the scrubs for a number of years swarthmore was defeated by ursinus several weeks ago and this gives some idea of the playing strength of the teams as lehigh was victorious over ur sinus early in the season the lehigh team has been weak ened by the loss of harper and springsteen who have both been out of the line-up because of inju ries harper suffered an injury to his foot in the rutgers game but is expected to be able to get in the game to-morrow springsteen has been ill but reported for practice on thursday and will assume his post at guard against swarthmore during the illness of coach fish er captain lees has been taking care of the squad and it has pro gressed in fine shape coach fisher will probably not be at the game to-morrow and captain lees will continue his supervision until he returns it is likely that the same line-up will be used as started against se ton hall last wednesday night snyder and lingle worked perfect ly at forward while henschen and hartung did excellent work at guard if springsteen is in good enough condition however he may replace hartung and pair up with henschen at guard captain lees will act in the pivot position as usual

ple per square mile than any other country except belgium which shows an enormous increase in pop ulation it was pointed out then that war would result from such a population with such a limited space to hold them and with only one-sixth of the country adaptable for agriculture to get rid of part of the population japan must ex tend her industrial activities on the asiatic continent mr getz stated that the three reasons causing the greatest trouble in japan are 1 the excess population 2 for bidden to migrate to the western continent 3 only one-sixth of the land is adaptable for agricul ture war in a nation will cease when the sore spots of that nation are cured he said that the people of japan should be treated with open-mindedness and fairness and that she should be given not what she wants
