              tomorrow lehigh takes a long journey to west point where an other surprise would be just about right according to the dope machine the result figures out as follows : the army defeated rutgers 18-0 and princeton de feated rutgers 37-0 we tied princeton 6-6 and hence should beat the army 19-0 it is true that in the football market army stock rose last saturday on account of the yale score 6-0 here the machine works again : yale lost 6-0 and yale beat syracuse 12-0 lafayette beat syracuse 10-0 and ursinus 3-0 w t e beat ursinus 5-0 and that only gives the army a 6 point lead but even at that these mid-week practices don't always go as smoothly as possible so tak ing an average of the dopes we should win by 10 points the army also played vermont the first game for both teams and the score was 12-0 in favor of the army their line-up has been changed so much that no player seems sure of his place or else the abundance of material is such that no choice is necessary gillespie left end and dean full back seem to be the stars the kicking department con sists of dean for goals from touch downs and arnold a guard for placements the team here has developed wonderfully and has accumulated a great deal of cooperation so when the fellows go to the station to see the team off they may feel sure that in that team are eleven men who will do or die and win lose or draw they will do their best the probable army line-up and weights are as follows : left end gillespie 153 lbs left tackle devore 199 lbs left guard arnold 186 lbs center sibert 160 lbs right guard huston 189 lbs right tackle littlejohn 188 lbs right end hoge 158 lbs quarter back hyatt capt 165 lbs right half-back browne 165 lbs left half-back milburn 152 lbs full back dean 170 lbs the fritz and coxe

it was to me a most inspiriting and enjoyable experience to take in so pleasant a lehigh function away out here on the pacific coast and to again realize that lehigh spirit and loyalty are strong wherever le high men are found and that le high men — wherever they are up hold the reputation of the univer sity and are loyal to the traditions and standards of our alma mater henry sturgis drinker back the big brown team from the chicago heights star of october 12th comes the inter esting clipping appearing below concerning the success of w l jacoby 92 as president of the in ter-ocean steel

superintendent on saturday evening last w l jacoby president of the inter-ocean steel company gave a dinner to the officers and heads of departments of the organization three private rooms of the union league club of chicago were used for the purpose the dinner was in the nature of a farewell to the men who have been associated with mr jacoby in the building up of the company which on october 1 passed into the hands of the railway steel spring company of new york the twenty four guests sat at one large round table decorated in the center with an immense basket of american beauty roses the re mainder of the table being covered with oak leaves while the dinner was being ser ved informal talks were indulged in after the coffee the party en joyed cards for two hours then came the extremely serious part of the evening — mr jacoby s talk to his guests in well-chosen words he paid tribute to those who had assisted him in actually placing into commission a steel plant of such magnitude in less than one year from the time ground was broken he referred to the fact that tires were shipped to customers from the very first turning of the machinery he further mentioned that although the inter-ocean was the infant concern with three strong competitors the business of the company through contracts with railroads represented over 25 per cent of the locomotive tire business of the country he touched a very tender chord in the guests assem bled when he stated that all had been more to him than associates — they were his friends as the poet wrote : the span of life isn't lcng enough nor wide enough the sea nor broad enough this weary world to part my friends from me thus mr jacoby described his feelings in parting with his friends in the inter-ocean steel company one and all have always looked up on mr jacoby as their true friend and as such he has always treated them the drown hall meeting on sun day evening will be addressed by bishop talbot a man well known to all lehigh students as an able and forceful speaker a man who always has a message for his hear ers there should be a large crowd to hear the bishop because he is a speaker who knows exactly how to drive
