were not completed until this time one of the things which was essential before the university could have a clear title was that the moravian church waive a lien which it had on the property for many years the matter was brought up be fore the church authorities and they graciously agreed to waive this lien this means that the field is now the absolute posses sion of the university although the steel soccer team has the use of it for the remainder of their season another agreement which was stipulated 1 in the sale was that the employees of the steel company will have free use of the tennis courts for the next two years although an extensive use of the field by the students will not take place until the beginning of spring weather students are at liberty to avail themselves of the use of

standing at 40-22 the play from start to finish wa fast and hard-fought al though frequent interruptions from the eagle-eyed referee and numerous substitutions slowed it up considerably muhlen berg took an early and threaten ing lead scoring six points while lehigh tallied on a single foul throw however they were unable to maintain this margin especially after cdptain clymer was taken from the game on personal fouls which he con tracted within the first seven minutes of play con on page 2 col 3 the accurate tossing of zieg enfuss lanky muhlenberg cen ter who accounted for six of the first

submitted this week by the bethlehem fence company and also by a lehigh graduate of hazleton the approximate cost will be between fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars all of which it is hoped can be raised by the students themselves two other questions which were discussed at length by the fraternity were the election of student managers of sports and the use of the name of lehigh in the future by organizations on the campus such as student orchestras which are conducted by individuals and are not stu dent activities open to all men as the regular student organi zations are con on

engineer in regard to chemistry the book is just being completed and will be rea dy for use by the time the new term begins it is edited by the mcgraw-hill book company and printed by the maple press of york pa these men have long been associated with the teaching of qualitative analysis and finally came to the conclu sion that a text book written along as practical ljnes as pos sible would greatly increase the interest of the average student in this course this year's book will be sort of a preliminary edi tion that is the defects and dif ficulties as pointed out by the students themselves will be not ed and the authors will rewrite the book on those parts which need it as soon as the weak points are determined the book will also be sent out to sev eral other institutions and

the great classics of the organ were admirably played the performer showed his familiarity with the spirit and works of bach a familiarity gained through years of close association with the music of

and the first year men are learning the fine points of the game rapidly on monday the tryouts were held in the wrestling room to pick a team for the first meet muscles bulged and perspiration rolled

resistance to the quakers finally to fall victims by the close tally of 12-10 there can be no comparison between the syracuse and princeton teams however and a dogged battle may be expected from the

as compared with last week little can be said of the opponents since this meet is the first one of their season however they should furnish stiff opposition on the basis of last year's showing the men who will probably make the trip in addition to coach gulick and manager schmidt are as follows : 50 yards — raleigh and free man 100 yards — riker and rap pold 440 yards — captain harmon and enscoe
