              fellows let's toss up our hats and give three cheers here at last is a demonstration of good old le high spirit a lot of undergradu ates doing some real hard and tiresome work and for pure love i am speaking of those men who are now working night and day to get up a minstrel show for the benefit of the athletic association every one who saw the minstrel show last year said it was good the show this year will certainly be an improvement on that for the reason that the same men with one year's experience are at its head now fellows these men are working hard and they are going to give us a good show they won't get one red cent for their trouble and it is doubtful if they even get thanks that is the spirit we have been asking for let's show them that if we can't sing and crack jokes we can at least do some tall yelling let us all get down on the front rows and have a rousing cheer and then a few good okl-time songs on our own hook let's go there to have a good time and to make the thing a success we can do it and we will do it won't we fellows ? jackson tells me that they want more voices in the chorus so if you can sing a little bit you ought to make a point of showing up at the sigma phi house on thursday night or of seeing jackson as soon as possible this is just an elegant time to get off that fence let's get off on the right side the show is to be given on the night of election day and the returns will be read from the stage we will have a good time and the pleasure of doing our part in shoving a good thing along enthusiast ' saturday's football

professors mi instructors numbers 423 yesterday's lecture in political economy was a further discussion of the monroe doctrine continued from the preceding week this doctrine was contained in presi dent monroe's message to congress on dec 1 1824 and its object was to prevent spain aided by the holy alliance from reconquering her lost provinces in south america these provinces had taken advantage of the time when napoleon was invading spain to set up republican forms of gov ernment separating themselves from the mother country the holy alliance a combina tion of monarchical governments of the continent agreed to assist spain in reconquering these coun tries england who was interested on account of her trade interests suggested the idea to the ameri can minister which appeared in monroe's message as stated above the so called monroe doctrine has been much misunderstood and mis quoted it contains no hint of our placing ourselves in the position of a guardian or champion to the other american republics and its sole purpose was to prevent the growtii in this hemisphere of any european power which would be inimical to our government the doctrine in 1824 was successful but has never been adopted as international law and . u ince that time has never been used in our diplomatic relations with another country indeed time alter time it has been set aside and ignored com pletely in 1826 the refusal of the united states to form any alliance with the south american republics at the time of the panama conference practically gave it a death blow again in 1829 the united states helped to restore england to possession of the faulkland islands which argentine republic had seized as belonging to her at the time of our civil war when emperor na poleon the third was trying to establish a french monarchy in mexico no mention was made of the monroe doctrine in all the negotiations whish were carried on napoleon was finally com pelled to withdraw but we simply claimed that the setting up of a monarchical government on our border was a menace to our free institutions at the boundary controversy between england and venezuela secretary obey attempted to apply the monroe doctrine but england claimed that as it was originally made at her suggestion against the rest of the powers of europe it did not apply to her in his next lecture professor stewart will consider the monroe doctrine in its relation to the late spanish-american war metallurgist foot ball team the junior metallurgists met monday at 12.80 and organized a football team lukens was elected captain ;

tuesday evening was not all that could be desired the defensive work of the team was good the scrub being unable to make any material gains through the varsity line the offensive work of the team however was poor fumbling between the center and quarter-back prevented the varsity from scoring in several instances the numerous changes which have been made in the varsity's line up has had a demoralizing tendency carman was out tues day evening and will probably play tackle butler taking his olcl place at guard captain chamber lain has been successful at half back and will probably be kept there scovil 1900 taking his place at left end dornin at full back is kicking nicely and after a little practice will fill the position very creditably with these changes it is hoped the make-up of the team is fixed the most important games of the season are now at hand and it is necessary that there should be a strong scrub out to give the var sity a hard practice every evening to this end let every one who has any ability at all come out on the field from now on and a strong scrub will thus be assured tomorrow we play our second game of the season on our home grounds with bucknell who de feated us last year by the score of 28-20 there are only two more games to be played on our grounds and the entire college should turn out tomorrow and give the team its hearty support the line-up of the teams will probably be as follows : lehigh positions bucknell scovil c m left end reirmer gledhill left tackle rowe becerra left guard humestou mccarthy renter ammerman butler right guard thomas carman right tackle cober keys right end ward james quarter-back garner chamberlain left half-back . . . stauton wilson rght half-back wey mouth dornin full-back prichard minstrel show no a
