forty-five men were on the ield the afternoon did not prove to be such perfect foot ball weather as has prevailed lately for it was quite warm and it seemed to react upon the men with the exception of the place kick no new plays were instituted during the signal practice ; it was simply to perfect the old forma tions the forward passes seemed to work better in practice although later in the scrimmage they did not show much improvement the teams were then lined up and the varsity backs were put to work catching punts the line endeavor ing to block them after the teams changed sides heard

the varsity scored again desh carrying the ball across the line after a blocked kick as a whole the work of the after noon was far from satisfactory possibly the weather accounted for the sluggishness of the team but it could not account for its weakness in tackling brumbaugh and bakewell were kept out of the scrimmage through minor injuries a talk lasting an hour was given in the physical

as chaplain of lehigh university but there should be but few who have not heard of his charming character and his powerful influence over the student body before he severed his connections with lehigh he be came president of hobart prob ably no man has been better liked than he by any student body and his strong personality combined with his great ability as a preacher won for him many friends not con nected with the university it is then with great pleasure that the y m c a announces that mr stewardson is again to appear at lehigh he will speak in the chapel at 4.00 o'clock on sunday afternoon . it is safe to say that ho man who had known mr steward son personally would fail to go and hear him and therefore we feel warranted in making an especial appeal to the members of the uni versity to go to the chapel at 4.00 o'clock on sunday and give to our old chaplain the warm welcome he might so justly expect the mining and geological so ciety opened very auspiciously on wednesday evening with

visited this region in 1907 with prof j d irving and so was able to give a lot of valuable information on this district the report issued by the government is rather unrelia ble and makes several misleading statements he gave an account of some of the difficulties between two rival development companies and the extent of the work each had done in railroad construction oil is found in considerable amount and also a great deal of a rather low grade bituminous coal its calorific power is very much lower than pocahontus coals but fuel is scarce and expensive in alaska and these
