many graduates prominent in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering board of trustees approves reports junior class stages enthusiastic smoker tall freshmen short freshmen fat freshmen thin freshmen in fact all freshmen and all scared they sat in the chairs in the read ing room of drown hall meditat ing on their sins and wishing they were someplace else for tonight the sophomore council that aug ust body of inquisitors was to pass judgment upon the . mand show them the error of their ways the murderer waiting for the jury's verdict could rest even easier than these law breakers because he may appeal to a higher court but only heaven itself is higher than the sophomore council this night it seemed that many had been called and from the sanguine remarks of the group meeting in an adjoining room all were to be choosen — for what — to give the campus a laugh no such a thing would be un heard of — choosen to act as object lessons to brother frosh on the dire penalties that might ensue should they forget even for a minute that the ywere freshmen a door opens smith the wheels of justice have started and smith vanishes into that room from whose bourne no traveler re turns — unscathed such entities as jones ironbottom or whatever names these freshmen have sink back in seats pass hands over moist brows and heave momentary sighs of relief — tough on poor old smit ty but somebody had to be first — hope they're not too hard on him how little they know the lustful appetite of the mighty soph a number of voices reaches the reading room inside the prosecut ing attorney is speaking name robert thomas smith say sir y-yes sir a whispered conference is held and then " accused of stepping on the grass and not saying hello what have you to say for yourself i-i-i was just '' shut up that's no ex cuse another whispered confer ence is held but there reaches the ears of figetting smith such words as haircut — sign on his " who wouldn't shiver if he were to hear that smith y-yes sir starting tomorrow you will " but the details are too awful to re peat even here the door opens again and jones ironbottom etc sit up as smith trying to look unconcerned makes a bee-line for his coat deaf to such queries as how was it did it hurt what'd they ?" iron bottom bellows forth a voice that drowns out all possibility of an answer you're next and the second course is ushered in to provide meat and drink for the hungry ogres engineers club meets monday a strong brown and white team flushed with last week's victory and confident of its strength is de termined to repel the invasion of the pennsylvania military college gridmen tomorrow afternoon in taylor stadium at two thirty al though a spirit of optimism is evi dent in the lehigh camp the men are not over-confident in spite of the fact that accord ing to all football dope p m c should not offer any too great op position to the home team there has been no let down in austy tate's intensive training program and scrimmages have been daily oc currences as usual the men are in splendid physical condition and two of the injured players are back in uniform again both porky flynn who was out with a sprain ed ankle and f stewart who frac tured a collarbone in the early part of the season reported for practice on tuesday austy was well pleased with the showing made by the team last saturday and it is likely that the same line-up with the exception of the ends will start against p m c that started against st john's the two flank men will probably be charley pur vis and frank rushong both of whom played excellent games last week p m c defeated in first game the reports from the chester camp indicate that coach si paux tis has put his p m c gridmen through an intensive training per iod this week in preparation for the big battle here on saturday the showing made by the cadets last week against prospect park club was not very promising the score ending 2-0 in favor of the prospect club fumbles were frequent and the line was slow on their feet but the coaches have been busy rem edying these weaknesses warren p m c.'s left halfback and layler the cadet fullback fea tured the game last saturday war ren the only cadet who was effec tive against the brown and white basketball team last winter proved himself a consistent punter his kicks invariably gaining ground for his team layler crashed through the prospect line several times and seems to be the best running back on the team . another back long is the visitors captain the two teams will probably line up as follows lehigh p m

austy tate captain hyde and dexter bullard were the chief speakers of the evening austy told the class he had received many let ters from alumni in praise of the rejuvenated football squad and captain hyde spoke hopefully of the new material that is at lehigh this year through the courtesy of mr gans manager of the globe thea tre an interesting vaudeville act was staged for the crowd routine business and the present ing of several reports were the most important matters brought before the board of trustees at the regular founder's day meeting last wednesday afternoon at the beth lehem club formal approval was made of the degrees awarded wednesday morn ing reports on enrollment statis tics the summer school session new members of the faculty and scholarships and loans were pre sented the financial report for the fiscal year ending august 31 was made the balance sheet showing assets in excess of 10,000,000 in cluding endowment and plant the statement of operations showed in come and expenditures of over 1,070,000 the surplus for the year was 13,000 after setting aside 125,000 for improvements and building operations the meeting was preceded by a luncheon where william m lew is president of lafayette and christian f gauss dean of prince ton both of whom received honor ary degrees here wednesday were present as guests the eastern association for the selection of football officials of which walter r okeson of lehigh is commissioner has published a pamphlet to facilitate the study of football rules this booklet edited b yokeson has been sent to all of ficials under the regime of the eastern association the main pur pose of the work is not to give a set of rules but a condensation of all that are used a great deal football has so many laws that the average official would be in a quandry if he attempted to memor ize the entire group thus it is easily seen that ethe plan of study suggested by okey is necessary to give the field bosses some sys tem to enable them to grasp the sit uation more readily commission er okeson carefully reminds those interested that these are not a set of rules but merely a few of the more important ones to such officials as are inter ested how to study the rules okeson accomplishes his purpose by using a few key rules which he believes will help the official to draw a series of mental pictures of the complete set of regulations he does this by paraphrasing each rule in as few words as will give him this mental picture the complete text of okeson's letter preceding the pamphlet is as follows at the five interpretation meet ings this fall i attempted to give the officials a method for studying the rules which i had found to be of help to me it consists in get ting a mental picture of the essen tial part of each rule and this is done by paraphrasing each rule for yourself using just enough words to bring before your mind's eye a picture of the phases of the game which that rule covers as an ex ample i read a digest of the rules which gives to me that series of mental pictures so many men have asked for this digest that we are reproducing it herewith let me warn you that this is not a condensed set of rules nor is it something you can use instead of your rule boo it is merely an exhibit wlji£h may aid you in pre paring youjitdwn digest unless you do prepare it yourself you will prof it nothing my words mean some thing to me they may only con fuse you put the digest in your own words and then you will have something which will conjure up for you the series of pictures you wish to inscribe indelibly on your mind then study your rules care fully noting any of the minor points not covered by your original word irig and add them to the picture finally study your penalties and get them in the picture also you will find that as each game unfolds before you in a series of actual pic tures these will automatically check against your mental pictures and register as either right or wrong if something is wrong you will know the answer walter r okeson commissioner of offcials sept 26 1928 my talk at the meetings also in cluded something of the history of each rule i have not the time ta reproduce this but it will be worth while to acquaint yourself with the history of the rules perhaps i may be able to find time later on to re produce for you an outline of this history annual reception and mrs c r rich ffds will be at home to the faculty rom 8 to 11 p m on tuesday oct 16 the president's reception to he faculty is an annual affair pre-medical society the

the logging bus iness and cut down a lot of trees where the packard laboratory is now under construction in order to furnish some of the fraternity fire-places with wood this good deed of pooch's was thwarted by the university police who main tained a day and night vigil over the wood pile , now pooch has gone into the coppee hall selected for bulletin board a large bulletin board will be erected in front of coppee hall to take place of the main bul letin board formerly located in front of the library the post ing of notices has always been a more or less disturbing factor to the faculty in the late 90's the students took all the chalk from prof w l wilson's black boards and printed or scrawled the announcements on the flag stones and steps of packer hall to announce a college meeting the walk was literally covered with white chalk the frequent college meetings prompted the purchase of a brown and white flag to be raised on the flag pole as an announcement of a college meeting

would concede that lafayette is as good an institution as his alma mater and i suspect that if a careful canvass of lafay ette were made there would be prac tically unanimity in the opinion that you are sadly lacking in good judgment and we would not have it otherwise he went on to say that this very loyalty family loyal alty is a danger to the peace and happiness of the world no less than the elements of arrogance and pet ty national loyalty is a danger to the peace and happiness of the world no less than the elements of arrogance and petty sectionalism breed hatred and contempt dr lewis

spite of the fact that accord ing to all football dope p m c should not offer any too great op position to the home team there has been no let down in austy tate's intensive training program and

and f stewart who frac tured a collarbone in the early part of the season reported for practice on tuesday austy was well pleased with the showing made by the team last saturday and it is likely that the same line-up with the exception of the ends will start against p m c that started against st john's the two flank men will probably be charley pur vis and frank rushong both of whom played excellent games last week p m c defeated in first game the reports from the chester camp indicate that coach si paux tis has put his p m c gridmen through an intensive training per iod this week in preparation for the big battle here on saturday the showing made by the cadets last week against prospect park club was not very promising the score ending 2-0 in favor of the prospect club fumbles

lew is president of lafayette and christian f gauss dean of prince ton both of whom received honor ary degrees here wednesday were present as guests the eastern association for the selection of football officials of which walter r okeson of lehigh is commissioner has published a pamphlet to facilitate the study of football rules this booklet edited b yokeson has been sent to all of ficials under the regime of the eastern association the main pur pose of the work is not to give a set of rules but a condensation of all that are used a great deal football has so many laws that the average official would be in a quandry if he attempted to memor ize the entire group thus it is easily seen that ethe plan of study suggested by okey is necessary to give the field bosses some sys tem to enable them to grasp the sit uation more readily commission er okeson carefully reminds those interested that these are not a set of rules but merely a few of the more important ones to such officials as are inter ested how to study the rules okeson accomplishes his purpose by using a few key rules which he believes will help the official to draw a series of mental pictures of the complete set of regulations he does this by paraphrasing each rule in as few words as will give him this mental picture the complete text of okeson's letter preceding the pamphlet is as follows at the five interpretation meet ings this fall i attempted to give the officials a method for studying the rules which i had found to be of help to me it consists in get ting a mental picture of the essen tial part of each rule and this is done by paraphrasing each rule for yourself using just enough words to bring before your mind's eye a picture of the phases of the game which that rule covers as an ex ample i read a digest of the rules which gives to me that series of mental pictures so many men have asked for this digest that we are reproducing it herewith let me warn you that this is not a condensed set of rules nor is it something you can use instead of your rule boo it is merely an exhibit wlji£h may aid you in pre paring youjitdwn digest unless you do prepare it yourself you will prof it nothing my words mean some thing to me they may only con fuse you put the digest in your own words and then you will have something which will conjure up for you the series of pictures you wish to inscribe indelibly on your mind then study your rules care fully noting any of the minor points not covered by your original word irig and add them to the picture finally study your penalties and get them in the picture also you will find that as each game unfolds before you in a series of actual pic tures these will automatically check against your mental pictures and register as either right or wrong if something is wrong you will know the answer walter r okeson commissioner of offcials sept 26 1928 my talk at the meetings also in cluded something of the history of each rule i have not the time ta reproduce this but it will be worth while to acquaint yourself with the history of the rules perhaps i may be able to find time later on to re produce for you an outline of this history annual reception and mrs c r rich ffds will be at home to the faculty rom 8 to 11 p m on tuesday oct 16 the president's reception to he faculty is an annual affair pre-medical society the
