been assured of the best music avail able on saturday there will be a baseball game with muhlen berg following the ball game there will very likely be a tea dance at drown hall that con on page 4 col

mus tard and cheese show of this number two will be alternates in case any of the others should be unable to perform six men will have girl's parts in the cho rus they are clayton geo robinson white keterer klep and rankin the other men to take the male parts are bartoo morrison purdy brill straub and kesselman under the able direction of jimmy morris these men have learned many intricate and un usual steps which will greatly add to the effectiveness of their parts they will be dressed in the brilliant costumes of swiss peasants while in another scene they will be russian serfs these men should particular ly be commended for the active interest in the progress of the show their part necessitates many hours of hard work which are essential that they may mas ter the difficult dances coach french was well pleas ed with the aptitude with which these men grasped the new steps he demonstrated to them on his recent visit director morris unhesitatingly declares that this year's chorus is the best the mustard and cheese has ever had owing to previous engage ments in new york mr french has been obliged to cancel his contract with the mustard and cheese club tho his loss will be keenly felt the club is indebt ed to him for enabling them to obtain another coach at such short notice mr french prom ised that he would send a man who thoroughly understood this type of dramatics to take his place the new coach will ar rive today and take up the de velopment of the show at once in a thorough manner as yet there have been no con on page 4 col 2 coach baldwin gave his base ball squad a heavy batting prac tice wednesday afternoon on the lower field generally con tact with the ball was in evi dence but the hurlers did not open up with any great deal of smoke of stuff on the ball two teams were lined up with dietrich and prior and wilken son and strong as batteries there seems to be an abundance of material from which to select a combination that will work well together permanently it may be some time before the coach makes a cut in the squad continued on page three the regular monthly meeting of the senior honorary society the sword and crescent which was held at the delta tau delta house on monday evening brought about a general and prolonged discussion of the new athletic by-law the rule was recently added to the athletic satutes by the board of control after a short business session over which acting-president j croll presided the new by law was brought up for consid eration this additional rule simply states that under no cir cumstances may any other ath letic contest be sponsored by any of the lehigh managers when a lehigh-lafayette base ball game is scheduled for that day it does not matter wheth er the baseball game is to be played at easton or bethlehem in the ensuing season two of the annual lehigh-lafayette classical diamond struggles come in the final weeks of may for this reason no lacrosse games will be played at bethle hem during that month the two baseball dates deprived the lacrosse manager from schedul ing a home game on either of those days to many this seems a rank injustice not only to the lacrosse squad but also to the students townspeople and other devotees of lehigh's major spring sport con on page 4 col 5 the members of the sword and crescent plan to do all in their power to secure a change in this seemingly inefficient rul ing however no hope for a ratification of this by-law may be had this year it would be useless as it is already too late in the season to make any im portant or radical changes in any of the schedules another important topic came up for considerable com ment should a freshman man ager receive his letter hitherto no manager ofa frosh team has been awarded with the co veted l regardless of the amount of work which he has accomplished or how successful the huge and spacious audi torium of drown hall will pre sent a colorful scene this eve ning when the faculty dance is staged there this affair which is one of the main social events of the faculty club will far sur pass all other activities given by that organization the commit tee which has been working dili gently to make this affair a suc cess promises that the dance will be the best ever with loads of novelties to keep everybody guessing the dance will be a closed one only members of the faculty and their immediate families being invited plans have been made to accommodate approxi mately seventy-five couples as con on page 4 col 3 . the arcadia has definitely set aside saturday may 9 as le high's official dad's day the cooperation of president rich ards and dean mcconn is guar anteed and it is hoped that the program will set a precedent to be repeated each year the purpose of the plan is to bring the fathers of the under graduates together and to enter tain them in real undergraduate fashion so that they may see how things are done at lehigh and so that the greater lehigh spirit may be introduced first hand to the homes of the under graduate body the need for a dad's day has con on page 4 col 3 percy wendell one of the most outstanding football coaches of america who has been
