40-15 points their bril liant exhibition in a drizzling rain on a four and one-half mile course was a credit to the school and a similar victory tomorrow is a safe bet the time of carr merkel and

price of fifty cents students notice military training has proved to be one of the most popular courses at lehigh the enrollment up to wednesday reaching 312 or about one third the total enrollment of the university this is believed to be the largest volunteer r 0 t c unit in the country with the student officers and non-coms ap pointed the work has progressed rapidly and the companies have already shown considerable pro ficiency at drill since the receipt of the letter from the commandant of the fourth naval district which was published in last tuesday's brown and white it has been possible to enroll members of the naval re serve on the condition that they re quest their discharge from the navy at present there are seven teen students taking training with the o-.t.-.c lygt vhft 3 3nck the law cap pit ir tiie an it h . cause they are members of the re serve of some branch of the service or because they are not american citizens the requisition for uniforms will be sent into headquarters this week after getting all the measurements it was necessary for the supply sergeant to go over the entire list and pick out the num ber of articles wanted of each size this is a task w t hich has taken a great amount of time the total value of this equipment which is to be ordered is in the neighborhood of 30,000 although the drill is held at one time for all members of the unit the time being wednesday from 3 to 4 it is of course impossible to hold the other two hours of lec tures at stated periods for all mem bers this is because every class and course in college is represented in the r o t c and it would be obviously impossible to find two free periods a week for them to use as the two lecture periods the total enrollment is therefore split into many smaller groups to whom colonel lang gives the first lecture of the week on monday tuesday or wednesday according to the period arranged and the second lecture is given on the three last days of the week provision has been made for rainy wednesdays since the men are not yet equipped with uniforms or overcoats and when such days occur and it is impossible to drill a lecture is given to the whole group the first quiz on the work covered to date was given this week and colonel lang reports that the marks were for the most part very high the subjects covered so far in the lectures have related mainly to drill and formations the next topic will be scouting and patrol ling its importance best methods of concealment and the like this division of military science is as is seen in the late war of vital im portance to troops engaging in battle and should be of interest to the students instructor bartlett of physi cal education is going to organize a fencing club he thinks that the men in the university should pay some attention to skilled arts in the training of the body and plans are rapidly being completed for various new forms of exercise the instruction intended in this class will cover all classes of the fencing art such as broad-sword foil and bayonet fencing the in tention at present is to make it more or less of an athletic social club its membership not being compulsory and only a number that can be efficiently taught being admitted continued on fourth page there are numerous men in col lege who are well drilled in the art and who are desirous of going on with this invigorating exercise it is the intention of the mus tard and cheese club to make this year's production an all-lehigh one that i it will endeavor to produce a play preferably of the musical comedy type the libretto and music of which will be written by members of the student body any man in college who is talented in either playwriting or in com posing music should consult either e w estes 20 president or r l wilson 21 manager of the club it is the duty of everyone gifted in these directions to turn out and help put this plan through successfully continubd on fourth page last year the club presented cheating cheaters the new york success and although it was a pronounced hit it did not gain for the club the same recognition accorded to the production of other college dramatic clubs such as the ' â–  mask and wig ' ' of pennsylvania which produces entirely original plays written as well as acted by students hence it is very desir able that lehigh follow in the f oot far from being discouraged over last saturday's setback at the hands of glenn warner s panthers the brown and white gridiron warriors have put in a full week of stiff practice and are all set for the contest with perm state to morrow the squad composed of thirty men left for state at 8:30 this morning accompanied by the soc cer and cross country teams they will stay at belief onte all night and leave by machines on saturday morning to reach their destination a large number of students and local supporters will follow the team to state in machines as the plans for running a special train fell through on account of lack of support many will also make the trip by train leaving tonight so it is expected that the brown and white will not be without rooters t 4.x 4 * 4 lu ul : c ctshs gll-iio 3 fzo'ci&mj r ; the brisk weather of the past week has been ideal for football and coach keady with the help of assistant coaches murphy costello j keady and d maginnes have spent most of the time available for practice in bolstering up the weak spots which were noticeable in the pitt contest several new shifts and plays have been perfected and the forward pass which proved so effective against the panthers will in all probability be used to a great extent the injured list is slowly de creasing in numbers and henzel man who has been out since the new york aggie game is again out for practice and may play part of tomorrow's contest but as his elbow is still in a weakened condi tion it is not likely that keady will use him unless it is absolutely necessary douglas is still unable to use his ankle for running and his loss will be keenly felt capt mac donald also may not get into the battle as he is still troubled with a bad ankle continued on third pages perm state has an exceedingly strong combination this season and created considerable press comment by defeating pennsylvania last saturday coach bezdek has a wealth of good material this year and his team is composed almost entirely of veterans for the brown and white to score a victory over state would mean that the sting of last week's defeat would be entirely wiped out and will again place them among the east's leading college elevens the blue and white has an exceedingly fast backfield and wey and hess will probably be the most dangerous men in this department the former being a clever open field runner and the latter does most of the kicking larkin and wilson will be opposed by huggins and brown at ends and judging from the per formance of the lehigh pair in games so far this season they will give a good account of themselves the brown and white line though slightly outweighed by that of state is far from being outclassed by them and can be counted on to for the past two weeks the inter fraternity steward s association has been busy organizing and form ing the constitution that is now in the hands of all the fraternities in lehigh all the fraternities have heard the constitution and to date the following have ratified it as it now stands : phi delta theta delta phi sigma phi epsilon phi sigma kappa chi phi pi lambda phi delta tau delta theta xi beta theta pi kappa sigma on november 3 the following officers were elected for
