pittsburgh deliv ered a lecture on thrift to a large number of students and members of the faculty in packer memorial church last friday morning mr woods is very much interested in this subject and his remarks to gether with his interesting if not amazing statistics left a lasting im pression he said in part : the income of the united states is more in pro portion 1 to its wealth than any other country in the world it could in fact buy out every other country mi the world with the exception of five or six to compare it with other countries our income for two and one-half years is equal to the wealth of germany for nine months it is equal to that of austria and for seven months that of italy so it can be een that we have a coun try with a wealth beyond concep tion however in spite of this great wealth the conditions in this coun try are not of the best there are 15 millions in abject poverty there are 18 millions who average only 433 a year one million and a quarter depend on support they are the old who are worn-out from work and who have not laid aside for hard times seven million wo man have to work among them be ing widows of improvident hus bands who are in absolute need in fact there are millions mi this country who are not sure of food and housing why is this when w 7 e are a nation of such wealth and civilization it is because we live for the present and do not store up for the future not only that but we are extravagant in one year we spend 800 millions for jewelry and 450 millions for tobacco a million a day is spent on the mov ies likewise on candy in addi tion to this we lose 900 millions yearly on bad credit and spend 300 millions interest we spend as much for liquor as england is spending on the war our fire loss which is greater than most other countries amounts to 250 millions yearly these are only expenditures that could be reduced this only goes to show where our money goes a large income does not mean a large saving the french with on ly one-sixth of our income save one-half statistics show that for the number of people to the thous and who save we are fifteenth on the list which is headed by switzer land ' recently an analysis of a thous and successful men was taken with the result that most of them had gained success only by their own efforts these men were not placed in these positions by influence of wealthy fathers but were sons of school teachers ministers and far mers who by dint of application and thrift had attained their sue thrift is not miserly or mean it does not mean denying ourselves of the pleasures of life but to lay aside a little day by day for the fu ture what we spend goes and what we save grows booker t washington defines thrift as the ability to sacrifice to pay for to morrow to the student body it has been a great satisfaction to the alumni and to all friends of le high to note the reputation lehigh has deservedly developed of giving cordial and hospitable reception to visiting teams in recent years the addition of drown memorial hall the college commons and now of our splendidly efficient athletic lay out — have increasingly put us in a position to do this and i am writ ing to urge on the student body to keep this situation carefully in mind during the matches on friday and saturday next let us be good sportsmen win or lose and give as generous a reception to our guests as w t e give hearty support to our own team henry s drinker taylor gymnasium will be the scene of the 1915 annual intercol legiate championship wrestling meet on friday and saturday of this week this event is the greatest collegiate athletic contest before the public at the present date and all eyes will be turned on south beth lehem as the stage of such an im portant meet the new gymnasium here will form a most flitting arena for the respective mat artists of cornell pennsylvania princeton columbia and lehigh to match their strength and skill last year cornell succeeded in winning the titles in the 115 125 135 145 and 158-lb classes oi which only two champions remain this year these are curbertson the 115-lb man and capt gallogly of the 158-lb class last year but who will wrestle at 175 pounds this year columbia's champion capt pendleton will a gain enter the congest for the su premacy of the 175-lb class the famous greek dorizas of perm expects to be able to retain his heavy-weight title for another year cornell the title winner of last year with a score of 24 points will enter the tournament as favorite by virtue of having won over the uni versity of pennsylvania columbia and lehigh with princeton yet to be met lehigh which came in third last year with a score of 12 points also rules strong for cham pionship honors next to cornell lehigh has made the best record in the preliminary dual meets and but for the injury to good in the 175 pound event against cornell would have defeated the ithacams sizing up cornell and lehigh it is found that lehigh has a veteran team while cornell losing three intercol legiate champions and two other men really has put two veterans on the team not counting greene in the 135-pound class who was an in teicollegiate champion two years ago lehigh has kirkhuff martin sawtelle thomas and good of last year and all have improved won derfully in the recent cornell lehigh meet kirkhuff secured a fall over culbertson the cornell 115 pound champion princeton's preliminary showing places that institution above the university of pennsylvania andcol um'bia while the fight for first places in the different events is al ways keen and of central interest the fight for second and third pla ces this year will be unusually inter esting as the points thus won may go a long way towards giving some team the ultimate championship in addition to pendleton colum bia will have another former inter collegiate champion wrestling he is cleveland who as captain at yale university won the title in the heavy-weight class he is expected to give dorizas of the university of pennsylvania a hard fight princeton also will have a former champion among her wrestlers in the person of gile who won the heavy-weight title two years ago but who this year will enter the 175 pound class he is expected to give pendletow a hard tussle for the 175 pound title of the winners of second places last year there are still in their re continued on third
