which bids fair to make it one of the most success ful in her history and with a little steadying up of individual work the prospects of winning the inter-col legiate championship are bright on tuesday afternoon of last week she defeated hobart by a score 6f 11 to o and did it in so decisive a manner that at no time was her own goal in any great danger and most of the playing was done in the visitors territory in the game with pennsylvania yesterday there was a marked im provement in team work and had it not beeii for the slippery condi tion of the field which marred to a great extent both team and indi vidual work there would have been a much better opportunity to esti mate the true condition of the team pennsylvania's playing was charac terized by an almost total absence of team work and thus the individ ual work ot her men counted for but little messrs erwin and de schweinitz both bethlehem boys did good work for penna . for le high excellent work was done on both attack and defense symington and lattig doing perhaps the best all around work on the attack while every man on the defense played a hard steady game morris played a good game at center and the work of digby and martin was of its usual excellent character abbott was a little weak on catching at times but otherwise he was all that could be desired and played all around his opponent the game began at 3.30 p m and the ball had been in play about four minutes when lattig tipped to digby who scored penna tried for goal and failed then lehigh ob tained possession of the ball and failed to score penna making a nice stop lattig scored after some clever team work symington tipped to abbott who shot a goal at a difficult angle then after some lively passing symington tried foi goal but was stopped by van valkenberg penna tried for goal but was neatly blocked by fleming symington scored on a pass from morris then occurred some ragged shin nying on both sides in which de schweinitz opportunely scored for penna on a scoop when our goal was left . undefended some very pretty work followed in which morris figured prominently and succeeded in scoring end of first half lehigh 5 ; penna 1 in the beginning of the second half the ball went right down the field in order and after the best team work of the game martin continued on fourth page dear sir editor the brown and wijttt i have studied with interest the communications in regard to the new scheme for athletic clues and must say i can see no good argu ment against it though in my opin ion the fee should be not less than ten dollars for i believe that sum would be just as readily paid and is not too much considering the fact that it covers admission to all games some parents and a few others who do not understand the situa tion may object to the idea of a fixed charge for this purpose on the grounds that athletics already have taken too prominent a place in college affairs but i don't think that we need hesitate on account of this the failure to collect dues by the old method was due i am sure in very few instances to the inability of students to meet this little extra expense but simply to thoughtlessness and a habit of evading everything of this kind not absolutely obligatory as for the claim that to adopt such a plan is to admit that there are no men at lehigh who can stir up the undergraduates to sup port athletics well if that is true i still believe it better to obtain the means of support by force as it were than to drop athletics entirely or to continue at the rear of the procession while never an athlete myself i am always deeply inter ested in lehigh's welfare in this direction and have often wondered at the preseverahce and pluck of managers captains and teams handicapped as they have been trusting that the plan will be adopted in the near future v e masson -♦-•-♦ dr joseph w richards lectured on recent progress in the alum inium industries before the frank lin institute last night dr

formation first occurred to the men who were accustomed to meet every saturday night to discuss the beer and sandwiches at the different college . resorts this saturday night club included the brightest men in college and they were in the habit of having as their guests the actors then appearing in the bethlehems these glimpses of bohemia became very popular and the club soon assumed undue pro portions one night when the club was having one of its usual jolly meetings the idea occurred to charles belmont davis that it would be a good plan to change it into a regular dramatic organiza tion scheme met with the approval of all and that night the mustard and cheese was born the club gets its peculiar name from the fact that eno r m ops amounts oi mustard and cheese con sumed were believed to be the foundation on which the wit and humor of the meetings were built a historian of that date rather scoffingly remarks that " oysters and shells would have been a more appropriate name the first play given was one written by richard harding davis called " mary the child of mis fortune it was a burlesque on the modern melodrama and was cleverly played ' when the curtain fell that night the actors were called out and the mustard and cheese had scored its first success this first success has been followed up year by year until the mustard and cheese performance occupies a prominent place in the after-lenten festivities of the bethlehems its name has become a synonym for bright plays and able acting the night of the club's annual appear ance is a marked one not because of the interest taken in the college but because the people have learned to expect a breezy up-to-date per formance the play to be given this year is " a modern ananias by j a fraser jr the cast has worked hard and the management feels safe in saying that the production will be in every respect equal to those of previous years lehigh's baseball team returned wednesday after a week's trip through the south having played six games and winning four of them this is a great improve ment over last year's record when all the games were lost the work of the team is to be commended as last year's team was composed of old players while six new men have played on this year's trip the weakness in batting has almost entirely disappeared and when the men become steadier in their field work there is little reason to doubt coach carr's ability to turn out a championship team georgetown i 5 ; lehigh 3 lehigh the first game of the trip played at washington april n resulted in an easy victory for georgetown our team seemed to be suffering from " stage fright as the error column shows and in the first two innings georgetown succeeded in making eight runs too great a lead to be overcome the features of the game were the brilliant work in the field of moran and o'hara for georgetown and a beautiful one-handed running catch by james for lehigh the score n rho a e pomeroy 3b 10 0 13 james c
