              the president touched on chapel attendance saying in substance that every man ought to go to chapel on sunday morning if for no other reason than to get his mind off his college work and give the day up to rest the trustees of the university thought it ad visable to abolish compulsory chapel on sunday so that no pen alty will be attached for non attendance but nevertheless every man is expected to hand in a chapel slip stating whether or not he attended chapel on the pre ceding sunday dr drown commended the sophomore class in abstaining from the customary rush at the opening of the university and hoped that they would continue to conduct themselves as well dr drown in closing his speech announced that president taylor of yassar college would make the usual address on founder's day he will speak on some political subject of the day all seniors and freshmen will occupy their usual seats in the transept while the juniors and sophomores will seat themselves in the nave of the chapel football lehigh 0 princeton 43 lehigh played princeton at princeton n j on saturday and was defeated by the score of 43 to 0 princeton clearly outclassed the visitors and played a game un usually fast and snappy for the first game of the year their in terference worked in excellent shape their fumbling occurred very seldom and their tackling through out was of the highest order le high's form was not up to the ex pectations the light line was utterly unable to sustain the at tacks of princeton's heavy rushes and on the offence lehigh backs were too slow in starting to make any headway before the princeton line was upon them it was how ever due to princeton's immense advantage in weight that the vic tory was so decisive the game began at 3.05 o'clock the ball in princeton's possession holderness received the ball on the kick-off and carried it back twenty yards before being downed lehigh tried line bucks but was repulsed for three downs and the ball went to princeton thirty yards were made by a run around right end and five more were made by a line buck by kelly wheeler was shoved over for a touchdown but fumbled the ball in the scrim mage where baird fell upon it baird kicked the goal holt se cured the ball on the next kick-oft and immediately passed it to ban nard who made several yards be fore being downed kelly made forty yards around right end and followed it up with five through the centre by short line bucks the ball was quickly carried to lehigh's goal line where holt carried it over no goal lehigh again kicked off and rushes by princeton's backs quickly carried the ball down the field near the goal lehigh rallied and held for four downs but was unable to make the necessary gains and holderness was forced to kick princeton obtained the ball and by rushes carried it over in five min utes time the goal was kicked the next touchdown was made by wheeler three minutes later the goal was missed and time was called with the ball in the centre of the field the second half was very much a repetition of the first princeton gained through the line and around the ends lehigh when the ball was in her possession tried the kicking game holderness punted very well under the circumstances but wheeler's returns were equally as good and the lehigh backs could not catch the ball as did the princeton men the game was called at 4.30 the final score being 43 to 0 the line-up was as fol lows : baseball election at a recent meeting of the mem bers of the baseball team e w grace was elected captain to suc ceed j w gannon who
