means radical are of interest to undergraduates are mainly as follows : a forward pass will be deemed incomplete unless it is actually caught by a player be.fore it touch es the ground this means that merely touching the ball does not make the pass complete as hereto fore penalties to be inflicted under the rules relating to forward passes are to be measured from the place of the preceding down instead of from the place from which the pass was made if the ball strikes an official it will not be counted as dead but play will go on without inter mission the intermission between the first two quarters and between the last two quarters has been shorten ed from three to two minutes this practically gives time merely to car ry the ball from one side of the field to the other as goals still have to be changed between quarters as they were last year the rule prohibiting the blocking or tackling of a man receiving a forward pass until he had taken at least one step in any direction has been modified because the officials were unable to enforce it last year the player receiving the pass is still to be uninterfered with but he can be blocked or tackled before he takes a step only three men are allowed to walk up and down the side lines on each side of the field it is always of interest to the un dergraduates as well as to fellow alumni to learn of the activity and success of lehigh graduates and through the kindness of prof f p mckibben head of the civil engineering department who took an extensive trip during the sum mer recess we have received some news concerning j c barber 95 now located in alaska which is best told in prof mckibben's own words : during a recent trip to alaska it afforded me great pleasure to meet mr j c barber c.e l u 95 in the interesting town of ket ehican and it was of course grat ifying to see him in charge of sev eral important industries of that place it could almost be said that mr barber has captured all the hon ors that are worth while for he is intimately connected with the management and operation of the ketchican water-power plant the electric-lighting system the water works and telephone systems and he is superintendent of a copper mine near ketchican on an island is the interesting indian village of metlakahtla where for 55 years mr duncan an englishman has lived among the alaskan indians and has transformed them from savages to civilized human beings who have pleasant homes good schools a good church and some canning factories of considerable size mr duncan has planned all the buildings of the town and the indians have executed the plans un der his supervision prof stewart a delegate y m c a some men have the idea that the bible is a collection of myths others who have given the matter little if any thought are willing to express the opinion that it has no practical place in a man's life still others believe that it has been tried out and has failed to make good the scientific way to approach anything is to withhold judgment until there has been some valid evi dence collected why not apply the same rule here mr j robin son of the presbyterian church in liethlehem who has made a care ful study of the bible for years will issue with the above attitudes and produce some evidence on sunday night in drown hall at 6.30 p m it will be a short snappy meeting over at 7.10 the question is a big one get some evidence be fore saying what you believe prof john l stewart of the de partment of economics and histo ry represented lehigh at the annual meeting of the american export association held monday

was booked for a beating on wednes day but the ease with which the team piled up the score the team work and the individual dash and brilliancy of the backfield were es pecially gratifying and augurs well for the most successful football season in years if comparisons are any criterion it may be men tioned that lebanon valley was trimmed 24-0 two years ago by the home team lehigh made only three fumbles in spite of the fact that the game was played in a steady drizzle and two of these were recovered the ball was lost but once on downs while lebanon valley registered one down during the game
