scholarships are renewed discussion groups which were held last wednesday night did not meet in all the groups which they had been scheduled for because of the difficulty of securing leaders all groups should be meeting by next week when the leaders will have been secured the book which is being used is the call of a world task by j lovell murray this book has been used with much success in the var ious camps throughout the country last fall the first chapter which was the subject for discussion last wednesday deals with the call for reality in religious life this first chapter is divided into two main parts which emphasize the contents of the chapter as given in its title the first of these parts is headed a summons to peni tent recognition that there has been something amiss with christ ian civilization and the second one is called a summons to let our religion freely express itself in both thought and life ' ' these two parts show very strongly the need for the real true christian to recognize the fact that for some reason or other christian ity as we see it in the civilized na tions of the world has been wrong somewhere the problem then is to find the trouble and to do this we as christians must not only profess christianity but act it in our words and deeds men must make christianity real spelled with a capital r it is not christianity if this is not so we must do something more than go to church once a week and read the bible occasionally for even though we do this it may be only from habit or for appearance and then it loses all its significance

nes beck mattson koslakiewiecz manager morris lawrence of the baseball team announced tuesday that harry s adams of philadel phia has been engaged to umpire the opening game of the season with new york university on sat urday april 5 adams is no stranger to bethlehem fans as he umpired the lehigh-lafayette series in 1916 and again in 1917 and has also officiated in other games on taylor field the selec tion of adams as the official is in line with the policy of the athletic committee at lehigh to engage in the future officials who are in no way connected with the university for this reason it was deemed in advisable to again engage the ser vices of j e keady the popular local umpire and former star le high athlete who umpired the games during the 1918 season seniors notice the senior

the lehigh team is prepared for the intercollegiate champion ship bouts at state college on fri day and saturday march 28 and 29 the week has been one of in tensive training for all the men and they are in the pink of condition bevier and loeser have had to work especially hard to make weight the team left thursday afternoon and will arrive at state early friday morning giving the team ample time to rest before the opening bouts in the evening it certainly seems that the championships will be hard fought and that it will be a fight interest ing to the audience in all classes perm state and lehigh are possibly the favorites among the six colleges in competition cornell columbia princeton and pennsylvania are not in position to do a lot accord ing to the dopsters it is uncertain and there is hardly a choice between lehigh and state each having beaten the other state is trying to add to her effi ciency by training several men to a class lower than they have wrestled in the dual meets but this may be a bad plan for them be cause of the weakening effect of losing so much weight black has trained from heavyweight to 175 pound class and so manley will probably meet him things are in lehigh s favor nevertheless as manley has shown up excellently this week bertolet to win his championship may possibly have to meet mills of state an old man of two years ago and one who knows the game but with bertolet s ag gressiveness a year or so more ex perience can be offset childs will wrestle in reynold's place on the team pete has severely strained his shoulder and it is im posible for him to wrestle childs is a fighter and will give good ac count of himself cornell is the dark horse of the meet she has fought no dual meets this year and all that is known is her past record cornell has always been good and she may be looked to as having a dangerous man in her list cornell's team will probably be 115-pound class r ackerly 125 pound class c e ackerly 135 pound class haym.es 145-pound class tuttle 158-pound class mc bride 175-pound class noon an ; heavyweight caminez or comstock but at present it looks as though the championship team will be either lehigh or state and which to pick is a hard task for the best dopster with a good knowledge of all the teams it may be swung to cither s favor if another college should produce a dark horse in any class and so the interest of the meet lies surrely,in its doubtfulness every student is wanted in the college picture this picture will be taken at noon on monday april 7 at the flagpole the faculty should also remember this date and be at the flagpole coach sheridan of the lehigh matmen has given a list of pro posed changes in inter-collegiate wrestling rules to manager de vout who will present the list be fore the meeting of the inter collegiate wrestling association held at state during the present championship meet ' billy " through his long experience in coaching college wrestlers has given some very constructive criti cism on the present rules and in each case points out a remedy that shows his true ability his aim has been to protect college wrest lers in health and also make the game more interesting to the on looker the proposed changes which will be bro.ught up at the meeting of the inter-collegiate wrestling associa tion are in coach s ot>i m y r j port following : proposed changes in inter collegiate wrestling rules the rules of inter-collegiate wrestling as presently constituted need revision on several vital points and the following changes would be to the interest not only of the game but to the participant as well 1 a change in the rule which permits a one-pound overweight at weighing in for instance a man can weigh in at 116 pounds for the 115 pound class at which weight that man cannot claim to be 115-pound champion if he has never made that weight 2 a most vital weakness of all is the presnt practice of allowing men to weigh in eight hours in ad vance of dual meets and champion ships this eight-hour leeway can and is being abused to the detri ment of the health of many wrest lers who take part in the meet par ticularly the championships by en couraging men to train down as much as fifteen and twenty pounds in many instances because wrest lers and coaches feel that men can gain as much as eight and ten pounds in eight hours and there fore have an advantage over a man who is naturally of required weight this rule should be changed so that no more than two hours is al lowed before weighing in ; a rule of this kind would prevent men from going through what is nothing more or less than torture and self denial that has no equal in any line of athletic endeavor and the future health of the wrestler would be safe-guarded against his own im mature judgment or that of any coach whose main ambition is to win regardless of the health of the men in his charge continued on third page 3 the rule that allows men to stall through nine minutes on their feet ought to be changed to read that in the event of no man having an advantage in the first five minutes the refree should stop the bout and toss a coin as he does at dr w n schwarze of bethle hem will be the speaker at the y m c a meeting next sunday dr schwarze is a professor at mora vian college school director of bethlehem and a very interesting speaker who will appeal to every one mr
