bureau has heavy bills to meet and must have the cash 11 a wilcox christian association the association meeting on sun day evening was addressed by professor stewardson who cen tered his remarks on the text : quit ye like men be strong professor stewardson said in brief : strength is always an object of admiration we strive for it for ourselves and delight to see evi dences of it in others he cited the lives of gladstone and bismarck as examples of mental strength a large number of men were at the meeting and no one could but feel well repaid for the effort of coming out gannon went around the end for fifteen yards and again through right guard for five yards by heavy line bucking the cadets carried the ball to lehigh's 15 yard line where they lost it on a fumble lehigh's efforts to gain were ineffectual and dornin kicked to the middle of the field but the ball was given to annapolis for holding in the line a couple of hard rushes carried the ball up five yards and here again lehigh beld for four downs dornin made a beautiful punt but again there was holding in the line and lehigh in spite of her strong defense found the ball in the cadets possession on her 5-yard line a mass on right guard and again on right tackle served to shove the ball over the touchdown being made by fowler and goal kicked by taussig dornin kicked oft for lehigh and gannon was downed on the 15-yard line a few short bucks and wade kicked lehigh getting the ball in midfield wilson skirted left end for twenty yards gledhill and chamberlain made three and four around right end chamberlain and dornin made 10 yaids by line bucks at the left side james followed this with 7 yards gain on a quarterback trick ross gained four on a close formation play around the right end and the ball was lehigh's on the 5-yard line chamberlain made three yards by a quick open ing through tackle and on a simi lar play the ball was fumbled but recovered by wilson who carried it over for a touchdown james kicked the goal tying the score dornin fumbled annapolis kick off but ross saved the ball dur ing the remainder of the half the ball remained near the centre of the field but in the last few minutes of play by a double pass the cadets carried the ball to lehigh's 10 yard line lehigh held and mccarthy passed the ball wild for a kick dornin however recovered it and carried it past the goal line where time was called the play during the second half was very even lehigh making up annapolis gains by superior punt ing in the middle of the half a slight dispute was caused by the ball rolling over lehigh's line on a kick the referee however de cided that it was a touchback the game ended by a trial at goal from the field by taussig from lehigh's 25-yard line but the ball went wide the lineup was : lehigh positions cadets s vi left end royall gledhill left tackle nichols scovil h left guard fischer mccarthy centre wortman butler right guard hamgan wilson right tackle bissett gearhart right end .'. jackson james quarter back taussig chamberlain . left half back gannon ross right half back fowler dornin full back wade freyer referee mr taussig of cornell umpire mr french of annapolis time two 25-minute halves football lehigh 6 u s n a 6 lehigh played her second tie game of the season saturday at annapolis the score being that g-iven above the naval cadets were confident of an easy victory and consequently were much sur prised at the steady game played by lehigh part of the difference between the score last year 28 6 and this may be accounted for by the fact that the cadets team is not as strong as it was then while lehigh proved herself decidedly stronger lehigh's line was fully as strong as the cadets frequently holding for four downs both in mid-field and when the goal was in danger at one period of the game annapolis carried the ball to le high's 10-yard line and was held for four downs on lehigh's punt out there was holding in the line and the ball was given to the cadets they succeeded in ad vancing it five yards but were again held for four downs on another attempt to punt out le high again lost the ball for holding in the line on the third attempt annapolis succeeded in forcing the ball over for their only touch down shortly after the second kick-off lehigh secured the ball in their own territory and on close formation plays for steady short gains succeeded in forcing the ball over for the last touchdown of the game the officials if partial seemed to favor the cadets every one of the half dozen decisions rendered being in their favor the lehigh backs were poor in handling kicks losing the ball repeatedly on punts with this exception the team played up to the standard shown in their first lafayette game the annapolis backs did very little fumbling but their line did not appear to be able to withstand the steady line buck ing of their opponents neither could their ends stop the plays directed at them ; in fact during the first half lehigh seemed to have considerably the better of the play in the second half lehigh weakened the ends appearing to give way before the annapolis interference dornin kicked oft to gannon who ran it back to annapolis 15-yard line on the first play fowler went through the line on a bluff kick for thirty yards short bucks carried the ball ten yards further where lehigh held tor downs and forced a kick which dornin fumbled royall falling on it on lehigh's fifteen yard line annapolis failed to gain the ball going to lehigh on downs by short rushes they ad vanced the ball fifteen yards but were held and forced to kick annapolis getting the ball in mid field mechanical engineer ing society at the regular monthly meeting of the mechanical branch of the engineering society held last fri daj evening the first paper of the year was presented by f b bradeobaugh of the senior class mr bradenbaugh discussed the ■" method of making steel tubes from solid bars " as follows : the making of tubes from solid bars presents to the engineering world a process of making tubes which when perfected will cause a revolution in the production of tubing by the old methods of roll ing sheets into a cylindrical form and welding the ends together or of first boring a hole the exact size of the inside diameter desired and then rolling the outside to a desired thickness the process of making tubing from solid bars produces tubes which are homogeneous and of uniform strength normal to the longitudinal axis this process was invented by two brothers of the name of mannisman who were owners of iron works in germany at first the outcome of the process was viewed skeptically by the engi neering world but results of tests by eminent engineers have been very satisfactory and besides the tubes have been tried in practice and have stood all that was ex pected of them the process of making tubes from solid bars of hot metal depends upon the following phe nomenon suppose a cylinder to be supported upon a horizontal axis and be left iree to rotate about this horizontal axis and at the same time being capable of trans lation along the axis now if friction wheels whose axes make an angle with the axis of the cylinder act upon the external sur face of the cylinder the cylinder will both rotate and move along the horizontal axis hence if the cylinder is a bar of metal and is held so as not to be able to shift horizontally the tendency will be to draw the metal near the surface along while the metal at the center or core will not be materially affected continued on second page upon this principle the method is based conical skew rolls at any angle are arranged in pairs there being either one two or three pairs of rolls in case of having only one pair of rolls a bench is used to properly center the tube steel ingots are heated to a very high temperature in a reheating furnace and are then brought to the conical rolls which are grooved so as to take a better hold of the bar these rolls are driven at from two hundred to three hundred revolutions per minute and hence require a large horse power to operate them in order to reduce the size of the plant the fly wheel principle is professor jackson of the univ versity of wisconsin has been gathering lately some interesting information in regard to technical education his investigations show that north of mason and dixon's line one student in every 10,000 inhabitants is taking an engineer ing course of high grade and that this proportion is double that of ten years ago the brown and white lehigh university south
