society's meet last thursday discus athletic policy with student and faculty representatives hope for improvement a e forstall 83 r s taylor 95 and s p felix are the three men that have been appointed by president c w hudson of the alumni association to act as the alumni members on the joint committee of nine whicn is to consider the question of lehigh's athletic policy and how it may be improved although none of these members have yet definitely accepted it is ex pected that they all will unless business demands their immedi ate attention none of the above mentioned men were present when the large committee of thirty men met last friday yet they are well qualified for the duty on hand since all the men selected have been actively con nected either directly or indi rectly with the university since their graduation these men together with the faculty members — dr neil carothers prof palmer and dean mecoon and the student members — j m degnan jr 24 r e underwood 24 and g w hopkins 24 will meet in the arcadia room of drown hall wednesday march 26 this meeting is however only tenta tive since it may be possible that one or more of the alumni representatives will be unable to be present at this date while the faculty and student mem bers could be present at almost any date set by dr richards this meeting is called by dr richards to get the committee started it is quite probable that he will act as temporary chair man and after outlining the purposes of the meeting leave the committee act as they s^se fit it is probable that there will be more than one meeting as it is unlikely that this weighty matter may be disposed of in so short a time this however re mains up to the committee rifle team has completed half of its schedule the r o t c rifle team has so far this year been progres sing very well in the six match es that they have shot they have been the victor four times so far they have been matched with cornell v p i univer sity of washington university

april the fifth but there are five more be fore that time notice the annual election of the y m c a officers will take place this friday morning at the col lege meeting in addition to these elections the meeting has been called for the purpose of holding other college elections of importance the nominations for officers were made last thursday night at a meeting of the senior mem-j bers of the

by defeating the columbia freshman by the de cisive score of 80 to 3 in the six of the seven bouts won by the lehigh yearlings all were won by a fall over their oppon ents the only bout which the ! new yorkers were able to win i was in the 175 pound class and this ended in a referee's decis lion coach gihon's team showed i much aggressiveness and the i first four bouts were each ob tained in less than three min utes reed in the 115-pound class who has not been defeated this season displayed excellent form when he pinned mcdonald of columbia to the mat in one minute and 28 seconds both men were fast and showed good form however reed was super jior and chalked up his fall ofj i the year out of six trys kent next showed the way to his columbia opponent obtain ing a fall over gale in 2 min utes and 27 seconds this bout was also very fast and hotly contested lewis in the 135-pound class was the next to win for lehigh freshmen when he threw fitch fn 2 minutes and 36 seconds i brown also got the better of his opponent in the short space of 1 minute and 47 seconds it only took a few seconds for him to cany his man to the mat but gruger was very tactful and managed to get out of a very difficult hold although he was not as successful the next time ynd was pinned the 158-pound bout was the most exciting of the afternoon and it was only possible for kell er to throw la courciere after i 9 minutes and 29 seconds both men showed strength and work ed from the top at one time or another however keller was able to gain an advantageous hold and threw his man just be fore the final bell columbia got their only score in the 175-pound class when acting captain sesit got a re feree decision over evans with a time advantage of 9 minutes and 40 seconds evans put up a hard fight and several times kept the columbia man from throwing him the final bout in the heavy weight class was also veiy short and peppy and jacobs did not lose any time carrying johns ton to the mat he gave his ad ! versary much punishment be fore he was able to pin his shoulders to the mat the sum mary follows 115-pound class — reed lehigh threw mcdonald columbia with half nelson and reverse chancery time

scarlet-clad tankmen of rutgers retained their laurels when they again won premier honors of the eastern collegiate swimming association with a score of 41 points at the fifth annual individual champion ships of this association which v.ere held at new brunswick on saturday johns-hopkins suc ceeded in gaining second hon ors with a total score of 33 points ; lehigh placed third with 13 points to its credit and swarthmore succeeded in gar nering 10 points for fourth posi tion in the standings the team championship was established by the series of dual meets held throughout the season and the standings resulting from thes meets are identical to those se cured in the meet on saturday the winners won four first places while the runners-up won three and the brown and white tankmen secured one first place when raleigh finished first in the 150-yard back stroke swarthmore failed to garner a first place there were several outstand ing stars of the meet foremost of these was welsh of johns hopkins who led in the individ ual scoring with ten points to his credit in securing these points he placed first in boub the 50 and 100 yard dashes in the century which was the hardest fought and closest race of the day welsh broke the former record of 58 seconds by three-fifths of a second in ac complishing this feat he was forced to defeat the former rec ord holder foster of rutgers which he did after one of th^j closest races ever staged in the new brunswick pool winning by an almost superhuman ef fort at the finish galbraith the rutgers captain earned six points for his team when he gave the most perfect exhibi tion of diving and thus remain ing as champion in this event besides the five points gained in the dive the scarlet leader >~ earned an additional point as a result of placing fourth in the 150-yard back stroke von stan ley also of rutgers retained his laurels in the plunge whent he touched the end of the 75 foot pool in both his trials while requiring less than the allotted time of one minute ballentine pool was the scene of much excitement in most of the sprints and the setting for many well-executed dives it was unfortunate for lehlgh that the relayers should be dis qualified because of beating the touch as the brown and white had a good lead up to that point the principal point scorers for lehigh were raleigh and trav is who succeeded in capturing first and second places in the 150 yard backstroke in the fancy diving astarita and childs had an off-day owing partly to the tenseness of the occasion and partly to the spring-board to which lehigh's men had difficulty in getting ac customed the 200-yard breast stroke was a popular meet for fast time but the best that le high put forth obtained third place summary 100-yard sprint won by welsh johns

the chem ical society last thursday night dr frazer's subject was catal ysis and was delivered in the chemical lecture room before a very large audience dr frazer's mention of his war work proved very interest ing his work during the warj was to devise some means of protecting the army and navy gunners against the injurious effects of carbon-monoxide gas his protective measures of course would apply more par ticularly to the navy gunners due to the greater risk they in curred by being in poorly vent ilated gun turrets this was done by finding a catalyst that would change the carbon-monox ide gas to carbon-dioxide and then cause the latter gas to bei absorbed by lime or soda or any other absorbant for carbon-diox ide only after a great number of years was a practical method discovered professor frazer's talk on war work really consti tuted a small part of his lec ture the remainder pertaining to catalysis in a technical w r ay dr frazer illustrated his talk with experiments and described some of those he did during the war professor frazer is very well qualified to speak on this sub-j ject as he is an analist of note and has done research work that has won him international fame for over six years he was chief of research in the labora tory of the bureau of mines at pittsburgh nomination of officers for next year also took place and the following men were nomin | ated :

lehigh university wrest ling team closed a successful season by overwhelming the columbia team before a record crowd on saturday evening in taylor gymnasium the brown and white grapplers succeeded in getting three falls and twp referee decisions on time advan tage while the visitors were only able to score one fall making the final score stand 21-5 in lehigh's favor the visitors ex erted themselves to the last ounce of strength but they fail ed to subdue the ambitious hus kies of coach billy sheri dan's group it is intersting to note that on saturday the freshman and varsity teams together netted eight falls which is a commendable record for any college or university captain warriner fittingly closed his excellent wrestling career by throwing brennan the columbia entrant he was in rare form and altogether too aggressive for his opponent burke and levitz were also high scorers getting falls in a short wrestling period the heavy ! weight bout was quickly decid ed by levitz when he pinned aulich's shoulders to the mat in thirty-seven seconds rogers j and reynolds both won their | match by referee's decision on i time advantage rogers madaj his last appearance as a lehigh mat man and tried hard for z fall but was not successful porte the only scorer for col j umbia was able to throw wil \ liamson for a fall in the last for i ty-five seconds of the bout the j 125-lb bout was declared a draw by the referee since both men had nearly the same time advantage in the 115-lb class reynolds found barrencher a bit hard to get at but after 6 minutes of sparring he sent him to the mat and held him for a 40 second time advantage for this short period the lehigh representa tive had the upper hand but barrencher succeeded in regain ing his fet and again they spar j red for holds they remained on their feet for the balance of the time limit and after the gong sounded the referee awarded the bout to reynolds on a 40 second time advantage chiarello opposed best of le high in the 125-lb class the two remained on their feet for several minutes when both went to the mat chiarello held best j for 2 minutes 4 seconds after which the lehigh grappler re versed the tables and held hte opponent for 2 minutes 28 sec onds the bout was in best's favor but the referee gave the decision as a draw this was best's initial appearance on the floor this season as a lehigh mat man and he showed himself an aggressive grappler captain warriner found him self opposed by quite an elusive person but he was not clever enough for the lehigh doughty captain the lehigh leader gave an excellent exhibition in his last bout as a lehigh wrestler he was aggressive from the start and was continually push ing brennan finally with but 2 seconds to go the lehigh cap tain got a bar-chancery on his opponent and nicely placed him on his back for a fall warriner worked hard for a fall and in securing it it gave him a pleas ing climax to his wrestling ca reer at lehigh rogers put up one of his characteristic game fights in his 145-lb bout with edelman of columbia like warriner it was his last appearance as a repre sentative of the brown & white wrestling team and like the le j at a

know in this field with which he is intimately con nected the lecture was quite long and covered the field min utely the continual encroachments of the electric over the steam locomotives has been a subject of much controversy but the general conception seems to be that the electric are superior to ihose employing steam mr basford pointed out that under equal operating conditions and similar power and structural details the steam locomotives would not be overshadowed by the electric furthermore he cited instances to prove his as sertions electric locomotive are designed by the manufac turers without any restrictions being imposed on them hen an order is placed with a firm lor steam locomotives the line placing the order requires them to be made according to certain fixed specifications this allows no departures from standard practice and because of this few improvements are made if greater power is desired instead of attempting to secure greater efficiency the less ambitious method of simply ordering more locomotives is followed elec tric locomotives have been de signed with due regard for ac celeration and torque while these factors have received slight
