vermont nine on taylor field in the first home game of the season since the opening of the season lehigh has nosed out the veteran fordham university nine by the score of 3 to 1 but was downed by the princeton tigers on the lat ter's home grounds to the tune of 7 to 1 as this makes one game won and one lost a great deal of interest is centered on the outcome of to-morrow's contest against the green mountain boys the vermont nine comes to le high with two victories to its credit having easily defeated muhlenberg college and university of mary land teams the west point bats men however defeated vermont by the close score of 5 to 4 the vermont ball team is a strong hard-hitting aggregation composed of veterans and should furnish a real test for the brown and white tossers reed c ; lees p ; adams lb ; donovan 2b ; johnson 3b ; hen schen ss ; hess if ; rote cf . ; and rogers rf the lehigh nine despite the fact that it has been handicapped in practicing due to the heavy wet grounds is prepared to give the green mountain team a hard battle a slight shift will be necessary in the battery as harwi will not be able to occupy the position behind the bat coach keady has not as yet made a definite selection for the line-up to-morrow but the team which in all probability will oppose vermont is as follows : — the vermont aggregation will probably line up as follows : — tryon c ; burns p ; mcginnis lb ; chevalier 2b harris 3b douglass rf ; carney cf ; and burns if the game is scheduled to start on taylor field promptly at four o'clock senior class banquet at hotel allen on a field that was heavy and slow as a result of recent rains le high nosed out the rutgers twelve by a 3 to 1 score at new bruns wick last saturday afternoon ex cept for a few flashes of real la crosse the game was poorly played from start to finish both teams ex hibiting little speed and poor field work the brown and white stick vvielders displayed better form than the jersey collegians the latter twelve resorting to slashing tactics that netted nothing throughout the game rutgers adherents went wild with enthusiasm when the home team carried the ball into lehigh terri tory after the initial face-off with the play centered in front of their goal the lehigh defense seemed powerless to take the ball from their opponents kutzleb stopped a few shots but the rutgers attack recov ered the rubber sphere each time and endeavored to tally bush fi nally carried the ball out of danger and up to the lehigh attack but rutgers soon had the play centered in the vicinity of the brown and white goal and in a few minutes kelly batted the ball into the net from directly ki front of the crease from the second face-off lebigh secured the advantage and managed to worry the home defense after a short scrimmage in rutgers terri tory during which several well directed shots were stopped by cook the ball was slipped past the former and red strauch raised his stick high in the air a la ox ford • rutgers weakened by body checking started slashing tactics and for the remainder of the half the game was loosely played hock er towards the end of the period sent another counter into the net that put the brown and white one goal to the good tired from the heavy field both teams appeared listless in their play during the second half the ball was on the ground much of the time and several of the scrimmages bordered on comedy from the view point of the spectators as several mud bouts resulted from the at tempts to recover the ball from soft spots during which the ball be came embedded in the turf the play sallied from one territory to another each defense breaking up rallies by opposing attacks and both goal keepers stopping excellent shots strauch registered lehigh's continued on page

york university pitchers and in the le high tilt adams was found for thirteen hits the tigers hit the ball hard in the lehigh game with the same spirit manifested against bowdoin ani new york university of the thirteen hits garnered from adams who made his varsity debut for the brown and white five were good for doubles as against fordham on wednes day the brown and white batsmen opened hostilities first and in the third inning scored the first run of the game rote drew a walk off townsend and followed by pilfer ing second for the only stolen base of the game donovan fanned but adams rapped out a long single to center scoring rote after this lone tally the brown and white failed to score only two more hits being allowed by townsend princeton came back in the sec ond half of the

spring vacation dr a d thaeler gave a talk which fittingly marked the temporary close of the meetings dr thaeler is president of the nazareth hall military academy previous to the address raymond k griffiths a new york soloist rendered several delightful vocal numbers among others he sang my garden by lillian hughes this song is of a new school of music and has recently come into use as religious music dr thaeler chose as his subject a man's honesty to himself he opened by saying that honesty pervades the business and social world to-day in spite of the fact that many deny it however the supreme need is honesty to one's self continued the speaker he referred above all to spiritual hon esty in defining spiritual things he said that spiritual matters are matters pertaining to the highest level of a man's life he emphatically denounced the geologist scientist or minister who shuts himself away from the world and studies his subject from one small book and tries to make its theories apply to the entire world such a man is not honest with himself he continued by saying that spir itual theories are deduced in a man ner analogous to theories obtained from laboratory experiment the theories are put to test and tried to see if they work also spiritual honesty is the honesty of action ; in other words to be honest with our selves we must practice what we preach dr thaeler closed his talk by stating that when we realize that god rules the universe and that his spirit pervades everything we are then in a position to model our lives with honesty to ourselves the meeting was presided over by e f deturk 22 no an nouncement was made concerning a speaker for the next meeting af ter spring vacation dr rufus m jones of haver ford college gave an unusual lec ture on the submerged life of the individual last friday morn ing in the packer memorial chapel the well-known educator presented his subject in a pleasing and effect ive manner which made the talk extremely interesting dr jones took as his main theme the sub-conscious mind and explain ed how most of our life is hidden from our conscious selves it is very necessary that a person know his capabilities and talents so that he may put himself to the greatest service to himself and others an unusual comparison was made between people and icebergs dr jones stated that sixteen-seven teenths of an iceberg is hidden un der the water and that the same proportion of a person's life is hid den from him in his sub-conscious mind it is a well-known fact that people constantly perceive more than they are able to remember and that often a slight intimation will bring a flood of memory concern ing the incident the sub-conscious mind grasps details which are not knowingly remembered and will not be recalled unless something occurs to bring them to mind an interesting discussion was given on the various moods and their innumerable causes which in many cases are caused by some slight or insignificant remark or action dr jones talked very in structively on the subject of dreams he said that a dream was usually the result of some observation made by the sub-conscious mind of the person in question the reason why a person will dream of something he never saw or heard of before to his knowledge is due to this action of the sub-conscious mind dr jones concluded his lecture with an interesting ' discussion on second nature there will be an important meet ing of the cyanide club at the ho tel wyandotte at 6:30 p m on wednesday nominations of new members will be held at this meet ing and some important issues dis cussed * brown and white bethlehem pa tuesday april 11 1922 lehigh r o t c unit to be inspected soon vermont batsmen next opponents
