and persuaded a neighbor to go with him they tied a brail to each end of the fence but his friend wouldn't go into the water so all that benny could do w t as to let his friend stand on shore holding

philadelphia and major b desaulles and h e lewis of bethlehem to capture the flag perm sent up practically her varsity team which finished second in the inter collegiate league last december the contest was snappy from whistle to whistle but the clever toe artists of the red and blue had odds which lehigh could not over come perm's forward line worked finely and her defense was almost impregnable lehigh worked hard against her great odds and showed occasional good spurts only three times was she successful in storm ing her opponents defense but at each opportunity lacked the punch to produce results three-fourths of the playing was done in brown and white territory and had it not been for the fine defensive work of shock ley coffin and lees the score would have been much higher

field was in good shape in marked con trast to its condition two weeks ago in the game with lafayette when the game was played on a snow and ice-covered field and toward the end in the face of a driving damp snow perm opened with a rush and got the jump on her opponents then followed a series of vicious attacks with gains through the brown and white defense before there was time for recovery baron got the ball and with no one to stop him drove a wicked one past rau shortly after webster broke through in a scrimmage and stretched the net again for perm's second goal lehigh s backs now recovered their form took a brace and got into the fray with greater determination with the result that the philadelphians were kept busy in their own territory the rest of the half the second half progressed some time before the red and blue players scored their third goal in a scrimmage to one side of the net clothier with a strong drive and from a hard angle booted the ball into the netting taking rau by surprise continued on fifth page the goal by baron in this half which proved the final one was still more spectacular being shot from a distance of thirty yards the monthly meeting 1 of

cal science at that institution dr drinker in his introduction spoke of the speaker's remarkable career as an educator and also as a diplomat prof rowe said in part : :': ' the international problems which face the present administra tion are very weighty ones unless we assume higher standards re garding these affairs we have failed in our attempt in making interna tional law binding we deserve to disappear the idea that the united states is esteemed by all countries is erroneous no one wants to see us advance unless we contribute our part to the world at large the national thought of our people cannot keep pace with the matters of today we were the iso lated power of the nineteenth cen tury and not until we change from this mistaken idea can we expect to go ahead what has this to do with the mexican situation we deal with this question in terms of certain personalities such as diaz carran za huerta villa etc instead of analyzing the conditions which ex ist there ' ' let us look a little into the his tory of mexico from 1810 to 1879 when diaz came into power the country was upset with civil strife and anarchy our country during this time forged ahead building up the great country we have while poor mexico remained stag nant political revolutions were to blame for this long period of strife which naturally prevented the de velopment of the national resources and government in 1857 a very poor constitu tion was adopted the country was not adapted for a constitution of this kind and matters were still unsettled there is only one way to overcome this strife and that is to set up a unified central govern ment to curb any uprisings diaz has been severely criti cised for his political policy he disregarded the constitution of 1857 and took for his cardinal prin ciple the thought that mexico needed development of her national resources the minds of the people were turned to this need let us look at the people of mexico they are essentially an in dian nation not less than ninety per cent have indian blood in their veins the foreign element is very small numbering only about 57 000 as compared with a total popu lation of sixteen million between 1880 and 1910 diaz who had a deep sympathy for the mass of peo ple did much for the uplift of the ignorant but he fell into a big error a few were becoming very wealthy while most of his people were existing in poverty the de velopment of wealth means the de velopment of welfare the masses engaged as agricultural laborers remained poor the mine laborers continued on fifth page the brown and white vol
