to be regulated innovation of coach gulick to be introduced this month many entrants expected next meeting march 11 of lehigh's basketball season remains but a memory and a rather pleasing memory because the greater part of the games were successful home games the opening of the sea son was played december 10 with moravian college team the game was well played and thrilling in all departments but lehigh completely outclassed the moravians as could be ob served by the overwhelming score the second game was played at princeton on the thirteenth at which time the princeton five demonstrated its right to make a bid for the intercolle giate title lack of practice rendered the lehigh offensive rather weak against the strong orange and black defensive the loss of gallagher and hess in the second half tended to de moralize the team but as a whole it played a fighting game to the last whistle the seton hall game played on december 17 was little more than a chance to iron out the de fects of the preceding games and a good stiff scrimmage it was the old fighting com bination of hess smith gallag her weinstein and schaub that led the university of toronto on to defeat to the tune of 48-26 the canadians put up a wonder ful battle but nothing to com pare with the startling improve ment in the floor work of the lehigh five on jan 10 lehigh defeat con on page 4 col 1 at the regular weekly meet ing of the lion's club of beth lehem on tuesday afternoon at the hotel bethlehem prof fry of the department of physics of lehigh university delivered a talk on radio the lecture was illustrated mainly with sketches and orig inal drawings illustrating the different hook-ups etc the be ginning of the talk dealt with the underlying principles of ra dio and prof fry explained very clearly how the waves bearing messages were sent from the transmitting to the re ceiving stations damped and unmaped waves were next tak en up with a diagram showing the difference in form of the wave motion the principle of the vacuum tube was then treated upon by the lecturer by means of a small instrument and an accom panying graph he demonstrat ed the superposition of the mod ulated waves on the carrier waves it is the modulation which being rectified and changed to audio frequency pro duces the message either voice or music by way of an illustration of radio transmission prof fry performed the well known ex periment in physics by which two similar tuning forks are made to vibrate by setting only one of them in motion the other is induced to vibrate by the beats of air set up by the transmitting fork in the case of radio the sending fork coy con on page 4 col 5 varsity track men begin light work with the close of the recent basketball season coach jim baldwin has concentrated his efforts on the baseball squad from the way things look pros pects are that lehigh will be represented by a first-class nine for the hard schedule ahead be ginning last monday last year's squad with the addition of a few new men have been work ing out every day in the gym as yet it is too cold to permit outdoor practice but as soon as the weather gets warmer a gen eral call for candidates will be given and a large turnout is hoped for in spite of the fact that all but one of last year's letter men are back coach baldwin's big problem this year will be to find a first baseman to replace freddy rog ers freddy's graduation left vacant the only position on last year's team and if a man can be found to fill his shoes at the initial sack everything points to a very successful season con on page 4 col 4 prior and captain adams constitute the star battery and unless the former is moved to first base this pair can be coun ted on to baffle the strongest hitting teams lehigh will meet this season other promising candiates for the receiving end are nevins lewin and batz all of whom have seen considerable experience behind the bat in the box with adams will be pete dußois walker and weston dußois and adams bore the brunt of the pitching last year while walker and weston were on hand to relieve them toward the end of the season weston showed up exceedingly well and

eastern colleges lehigh has begun a new field of activity in the recently cre ated lecture service for high schools and preparatory schools it has been felt that one of am erica's chief educational needs is to create more intimate con tacts between the high schools and preparatory schools on the one hand and the college or uni versity on the other for the pur pose of dealing more effectively with certain common problems not the least important of which is the clarifying of the point of view of students desiring to en ter college this lecture service is pure ly educational in purpose there are no charges except for the travelling expenses of the lee turer to and from lehigh this free lecture service to high schools and preparatory schools lehigh has established as a part of its greater lehigh program which commits it to a policy of wide public service throughout the country the lectures now available are lessons from the gridiron professor howard r reiter in this day of social re
