drown hall on sunday evening the speaker dr charles i hurrey addres sed an enthusiastic audience on student activities around the world as dr hurrey was a speaker at chapel last year he was not unknown to the stu dents and the turnout was larg er than usual the speaker by virtue of his office as secretary cf the world-wide christian students league had recently returned from an extended tour during which he had visited pal estine the balkan states france germany italy spain ynd portugal since dr hur rey is a keen observer he was able to give many interesting facts and his comments on for eign students and their activi ties were stimulating and in structive those who attended the meeting were impressed with the fact that dr hurrey was well worth hearing although the attendance at these sunday evening gather ings is satisfactory yet a larg er audience could easily be ac commodated and if more stu dents turned out they would find that they had spent a prof itable hour and a half lehigh's rivals down to two seniors urged to hand in ballots schedule lafayette and brown only re maining opponents on heavy committee anxious to have them filled out and returned at once photos very important this saturday will find an en tirely new group of football war riors at taylor stadium in the form of alfred college eleven this small quaker school is sit uated at alfred new york and has an enrollment of about 450 students the team will arrive here on friday night and will stop at the hotel bethlehem the coach of the alfred team is a former notre dame star and the adherents of the game will be given a rare treat when they see the notre dame system at work all of the various shifts which have been so carefully practiced and perfected at notre dame will no doubt be used by alfred thus far alfred has not had a very successful season they have defeated buffalo 16 6 and westminster 7-0 they have lost to colgate 14-0 buck nell 47-0 st bonaventure 15-0 niagara university 26-13 and to thiel 13-7 with the whole team in good physical condition after the hard fought bucknell game lehigh will enter the game as the fav orites in the backfield coach baldwin will probably start his strong quartette composed of jack storer poss greer savage jacobs and honey lewin in the line the brown and white will no doubt have either yeager or harmon at left guard because of the illness of the two first-string guards red henderschott and pep lewis the rest of the stonewall defense will probably be the same as the one that started against bucknell the teams will probably line-up as follows lehigh alfred walker cr sanford l b fulmer mcgoldrick or l t gardner merrill yeager or harmon l g couch roth c fraser hoffman r g anderson springsteen r t chamberlain burke r e mcconnell lewin or hess

dayton and bring his first eleven to taylor stad ium as spectators of the alfred game dayton has only been able to gain one victory this season this was against transylvania when dayton won 35 to 0 all of her opponents have been weak the senior class book com mittee is hard at work trying to get the senior class ballots that were issued the first of this week filled in and returned by the individual seniors at the present date very few of the ballots have been returned this is an all important duty and should be made the paramount task of every loyal man of the class of 1924 to see that his ' class book work is completed as soon as he possibly can do it not only have the ballots been failed to be made out but also ' only one or two men have made arrangements to have their i

the third game that lehigh has played in the pennsylvania state association football league in this year's series the first was with hav erford in which lehigh won the second game was with the jun ior varsity of the university of pennsylvania to whom lehigh lost in a closely contested game the cup for the championship of the pennsylvania league was won by the lehigh team last year and they are determined that it shall remain here hav ing lost one game so far it is imperative that they make a strong effort to win the remain ing ones last year on november 11 swarthmore and lehigh met in the league series that is an other reason why the brown and white team is determined to win this year in that game we were defeated 2 to 1 inci dentally it was one of the rough est games in which a lehigh soccer team has participated in for some time more than forty fouls were called on swarth more players during the two halves baird who was then playing at right halfback was repeatedly warned by the ref eree to stop his rough tactics walters a lehigh forward was apparently the objective of their attack he was continually knocked off his feet during the play fernandez scored the sin gle goal for lehigh on a pass from mercur in spite of the methods used by the swarth more t'am they had consider able difficulty in remaining on the long end of the score the probable line-up for swarth more will

printing of the book was signed this week it will be done by the read-taylor press it is the same business house which did the work on the 1923 epi tome as their work was very satisfactory last year

sired they also have the con tract for the year book at rut gers the engraving will be done by the canton engraving and electrotyping company at canton ohio many novel features are to be incorporated in the epitome for 1924 salient among these are the cover and section of views the cover this year will be of real leather a genuine leather cover will be an innovation as that of last year's was only im itation leather this should prove a valuable factor in im proving the general appearance of the book the other notable addition is a new section of views which will be in the book it will be composed of scenes about the campus if present plans are realized it will occupy about twelve pages this will be of special aid to those who have i.ever been to lehigh and will help them to realize the natural beauty of the university's sur roundings if those in charge of the work on the epitome carry out their plans the edition for 1924 will be decidedly superior to any previous editions seven
