the remark that no man can do any sort of work well unless he is interest ed in the work at hand or has a great liking for that work for this reason any man who finds his work distasteful should cast

physics lecture room the meeting was started promptly at 7:30 when dr elias klein presented the speaker of the evening mr harris c palmer mr palmer gave a very inter esting talk on the piezo-elec trical effects in crystals even though the subject was a very technical one con on page 3 col 3 he started off by saying that there is a certain family of crys tals which includes such sub stances as quartz and rochelle salts that have a peculiar prop erty of oscillation which has proven of great value to the ra dio industry when theses crys tals are cut down to a certain phila lehigh club to hold pep meet plan to have special train for phila alumni to come to game although fighting with the old lehigh fighting spirit which has been noticeably lacking at the last few games lehigh was nev ertheless forced to taste its third consecutive defeat of the season last saturday when vil lanova scored a touchdown and at the same time prevented le high from scoring the final score was 6-0 an indication of the fact that the game was un usually hard-fought from start to finish villanova has a team this year that has been greatly un der-rated by most critics coach stuhldreher notre dame all american quarterback last year has developed a team that has just the proper speed punch and co-ordination and in addi tion he has given them a set of plays that are as deceptive as they are snappy it was a patch ed up lehigh team that bucked up against this well-oiled villa nova machine and came away with a 6-0 defeat after they had failed by inches to score a touchdown in the first quarter ; the defeat was far from being an overwhelming defeat for le high when the brown and white trotted on the field captain merrill won the toss and elect ed to defend the east goal and to kick off to villanova for the first few minutes neither side seemed to have any advan tage until after an exchange of punts in which lehigh had the decided advantage with the wind at their backs the brown and white began a march tow ard the goal line starting on the villanova twenty-five yard line the brown and white drove through the line and a forward pass from o'callahan to cannon brought the ball to the villanova ten yard line and after three more line bucks the ball was on the one-yard line with one down to put it over con on page 2 col 4 stephens went back for a des perate plunge through the line and the ball was over the referee signalled a touchdown and the lehigh stands were ju bilant but upon discussion the referee reversed his decision the calm and serenity of old south mountain was rudely broken by a huge gathering of loyal sons of lehigh last friday evening shadowy figures mov ing here and there steadily in creasing in number till by 7:30 the greater part of the student body was assembled around the flagpole the air was charged with that peculiar static known as college spirit head cheerleader winchester then started things going by leading a rousing cheer for that team which was given with such a vigor as to cause the window panes of packer hall to rattle then the band struck up the strains of every body takes their hat off to le high after this the band led the march to the upper field which was illuminated by the lurid glare of a huge bonfire the materials for said bonfire were furnished by the members of the class of 29 the side of the bank overlooking the soccer field was dotted with myriads of human figures it was indeed an inspiring sight to see this vast mass of humanity outlined in the firelight more cheering was then in or der and the rocks of old south mountain fairly rang with the echoes the band then played hail to lehigh the words be ing carried by hundreds of voic es next came sons of lehigh there was lots of pep and spir it in evidence but it was obvi ous that the men did not know the words so well it is to be hoped that this fault will be remedied by the night of the la fayette smoker then came a short but inspir ing address from pat paz zetti given with that intense feeling characteristic of all pat's speeches he said that the eleven or twenty-two men on the football squad can't beat lafayette alone it is only by the support of the entire student body that a victory will be pos sible it is up to them to con vince the team that they are with them to the finish judg ing from the response given pat when he asked if we were

nesday afternoon november 18 on the muhlenberg college ath letic field this game was orig inally scheduled for october 31 as a preliminary to the lehigh muhlenberg varsity game but due to the soggy condition of the turf it was thought advis able to postpone the game to a later date so as to keep the field in the best shape possible for the varsity contest con on page 4 col 3 the muhlenberg contest gives the brown and white year lings one more chance to win a game this season saturday's 35-0 defeat at the hands of the lafayette frosh marked their fourth straight reverse this sea son

score of 1-0 very few spec tators were on hand to see the contest because of the other ac tivities going on at the same time the football team of un iversity of pennsylvania was playing an important game and the varsity soccer team was in action on the lower soccer field this did not prevent the players from exhibiting some of the prettiest snappiest toe work seen this season lehigh won the toss and took advantage of a strong wind blowing from the west by means of short fast passes the red and blue boot ers were able to keep the ball in brown and white territory for a large portion of the first quar ter the lehigh backfield was impregnable and although the ball was sifted through it a few times the stellar work of haw kins at goal prevented a score after the first quarter the le high eleven reversed the tables and kept the ball in motion dan gerously near to the enemy goal posts several shots at goal were missed by a large margin at times with no one but the goal keeper to prevent a possible marker the lehigh line faltered and the crisis was averted the brown and white fullbacks dix on and collins put up a stone wall defense and their long straight boots gave back the ball to
