speaks the regular sunday evening y m c a meeting was addressed by professor w b kunkel of yale university he spoke on the measures of success and his speech is in part as follows college men are constantly thinking about the various measures of success but very few realize that success is always measured by some standard also that the ejuestion of ultimate suc cess depends upon whether or not this standard is upheld and never allowed to fall like everything else in life it may be viewed from various angles and we find that success may be divided or classified under four heads the first of which is that measure of power the second m based upon popularity the thirjl upon reputation and the fourth and most important is that measure presented by christ his measure through service for he repeatedly i said ' whosoever will become great must be a minister or a servant among the people " professor michael doresius of the university of pennsylvania will give an illustrated address at the

man university dance strongman at this time with the lafayette line drawn in and while the spectators were intent upon what seemed to be another lineup lunge to net one yard for a first down rote played a masterly trick on a delayed pass he eased off right end for 20 yards and a touch down while the two teams piled up on the scrimmage line with the lafayette forwards after douglas this was one of the prettiest plays of the game and showed a remark able piece of strategy on rote's part the south side of the stands went wild as only football crowds can and the teams lined up for kick-off again after rote had failed to kick goal the ball was kept well into lafayette's teritory dur ing the remainder of the quarter and until within three minutes of the game's end when lafayette opened up an aerial attack that carried them into lehigh territory and on twoi long passes the last of which was fully expected by the lehigh defense and the teams seat iereu'*t>7tn^tfr the pigskin 35 yards into dumoe s hands and he scampered across the goal line after knocking out the diminutive rote the only man in his path the pass was one of those lucky affairs that fall into right hands for from the time it left weldon si arm the ball was anybody's and in a final attempt to turn defeat into victory weldon and dumoe pulled the trick the game was hard fought lafayette first felt the heavy hand when wolbert was carried off the field unconscious savaria left a little later though he was able to drag himself off hauser was car ried from the field in the third quarter the playing of harry rote stands out pre-eminently from a lehigh standpoint he spilled lafayette backs several times after they had dribbled through the le high line ran the team in a mas terly fashion and contributed le high's touchdown wysocki si mendinger and douglas also shone brightly both lines played a tight game the lehigh aerial attack failed the lafayette air route was more stable and resulted in nearly all lafayette s-gains though capt weldon lehecka and hauser pulled off several long runs wel don playing his last game for the miaroon and white was a disap pointment during the first half as far as offensive work was con cerned he found himself in the second half however and covered himself with lafayette glory dur ing the remainder of the game first quarter booth kicked off to bedner win was downed on the 25-yard line larkin threw hauser for a five yard loss lehecka went around right end for five yards weldcn made three yards around left end before being downed by booth weldon punted to herrington on the 20-yard line and buzz brought it back 30 yards on a beautiful run around left end be for being downed by sigel wy continued on second page in one of the most exciting and what was to thousands of alumni students and local supporters one of the most heart-rending finishes ever staged in a lehigh-lafayette game the easton team defeated lehigh eleven saturday by a 10^6 score after rote had placed the brown and white team in the lead by a masterly planned touchdown a few minutes before in the last few minutes and in semi-darkness dumoe lafayette * right end snatched a long pass from weldon out of the air an crossed the lehighl goal line in a i^=y^m-ttitt giving ibv iߣih*mp and white team victory out of what looked like defeat a few minutes before the game started at a few minutes past two o'clock before a crowd of 15,000 people who occu pied every seat in taylor field and packed the temporary fence con structed behind the goal posts at the east end of the field it is prob able that such a struggle has never before been seen on taylor field lafayette presented a slightly superior attack though the great amount of ground gained by the easton eleven can be attributed to the air route rather than straight football sutherland's eleven com pleting seven which netted them about 150 yards of eight attempts at forward passes by the lehigh team four were intercepted by weldon there were errors of judgment in attack by both teams but all in all the contest was one of real football the first quarter developed into a punting duel between wteldon and herrington weldon got off the better punts but these were off set by the manner in which the le high forwards got down the field under herrington's kicks nailing sigel in his tracks toward the close of the quarter lehigh launched an attack after recover ing a punt on the 20 yard line with wysocki and simendinger carrying the ball the leather was soon on the two-yard line and with the fourth down wysocki made a mighty effort to shove it over but was denied on the six-inch line weldon kicking out on the first down the kick was poor and le high started another drive from the 20-yard line only to fail on the two-yard line weldon scored lafayette's field goal in the second quarter on a placement from the 40-yard line the lehigh touchdown come in the third period rote had inter cepted one of weldon s passes and promptly began an attack through the lafayette line which was good for three and four yards each down douglas was the lehigh friday evening's smoker was favored by the greatest number ot pep

field the lafayette band ar rived and took its position on the north side at various times throughout the duration of the game the musicians of the two rival institutions rendered selec tions although the fact is conceded by many that lehigh's renditions were more frequent and in some cases showed a better balance as regards numbers the two bands were about on a par the outstanding feature of the lafayette band was the base-drum mer whose antics amused many and had a tendency to make them forget the rest of the maroon co horts continued on fourth page at the close of the game after a series of
