the first half without scoring le high scored four goals in five min utes to end the half up to this point the game looked as if it would be hotly contested throughout but after mayer eluded the stevens defense and caged the first ball it became a comparatively easy mat ter to score many more points ste vens made her only tally after about eighteen minutes of playing in the second half much dissatisfaction was express ed about the referee who seemed not to be well acquainted with the game and who constantly penalized both sides at one time in the sec ond half lehigh had only seven men playing against eleven stevens men stevens attack could not often get past the defense of lehigh and when they did they threw the ball away by poor passing the pass ing however was good as a whole and

there being two double plays two home runs and five two-base hits the ninth inning proved to be the most exciting of the game with two men on the bases keady con nected with the sphere for a home run thus saving the team from de feat for in bucknell's last chance at bat they scored five runs before being retired the adverse weather conditions were undoubtedly responsible for the numerous errors

student-body in the chapel fri day morning on the panama ca nal the lecturer was very inter esting and gave the story of the canal from its conception to the present time it was in 1878 that walker a jamaican engineer first surveyed the isthmus and not many years af ter that the french took up the pro ject delesseps whose fame was made on the suez canal was a pro moter rather than an engineer and this was the chief reason for the non-success of the french and the consequent undertaking of the task in 1904 by the united states the government of panama received from our country for the canal zone 49 miles in length and 10 miles in width the sums of ten millions for the right of way and 250,000 annually as rental colon and panama however remaining under their control so it will be seen that the united states does not own the zone but simply rents it this is an important point in the question now before the coun try as to the exemption of the a merican vessels from tolls an other important question is that of fortifying the canal those in fa vor of non-fortification cite the su ez canal as a point it not being directly fortified however as mr wyndham pointed out to en ter the suez canal vessels must pass gibraltar the strongest forti fication in the world and from the other end the fortifications con trolled by england along the red sea concerning the engineering work itself mr wyndham mentioned on ly the most spectacular and interest ing points the world's largest arti ficial lake is included in the project now almost completed it covers 164 square miles and acts as a res ervoir for the canal as well as a waterway r h o a o'keef e 3b 2 0 4 2 bell lb 1 1 13 0 machardy 2b 3 2 1 5 wright c 1 2 5 1 keady p 1 3 1 2 albrecht l.f 0 0 1 1 tapking r.f 1 2 0 0 price c.f
