latter defeated the brown and white men by a score of 35 to oon the tiger gridiron large as the score may seem it does not des cribe the game by any me*ans nor does it compare the teams abilities as to straight foot-ball most of the ground gained was earned through the forward pass and shift play by princeton while the plung ing of trenkman the orange and black full-back gained considerable and was responsible for two touch downs princeton worked the forward pass successfully four times out of seven attempts and by this means gained over the length of the field as a total lehigh attempted the forward pass twelve times and was successful five times by which sev enty-five yards were gained the work of baker pendleton who scored three touchdowns and f trenkman who crossed the line twice was best while pazzetti hoban and keady played particu larly well for lehigh early in the first quarter the ball was fumbled by lehigh and was recovered by e trenkman fol lowing this lehigh was penalized fifteen yards which placed the ball in princeton's hands on lehigh's ten-yard line f trenkman then placed the pig-skin over the line on a plunge pazzetti received the secon-d kick off for lehigh two rushes and a pretty forward pass from pazzetti to vela netted two first downs on the next play a penalty inflicted on princeton gave lehigh another first down five more yards were al lowed lehigh for princeton's being off-side but on the next play an attempted forward pass left the ball in princeton's hands thus ending the first quarter of the game at the beginning of the second quarter flick was substituted for crichton princeton in two plays one of which was a pretty end run obtained a first down here a for ward pass was spoiled and prince ton kicked a high punt to pazzetti who was tackled immediately on re ceipt of the ball after failing to gain pazzetti kicked to princeton who also after failing to gain at tempted a place-kick from the forty-yard line unfortunately for the tigers the ball struck the left goal-post and was siezed by keady on the second play following this pazzetti made one of the prettiest runs of the game gaining forty the power of the will was the subject of the talk by rev rob ert johnston of trinity episcopal church bethlehem given at the y m c a meeting on sunday even ing in outlining his subject the speaker frequently gave illustra tions and quotations which added materially to its forcefulness one of the greatest agents said rev johnston in bringing about the great spiritual regenera tion which is springing up all over the country is the will-power of the individual applying his subject to things which were very familiar to his listeners he illustrated the strong part a man's will-power plays in his studying successfully he can by a series of slight con centrations form the study habit not that of a grind but that of a student and get more from his work owing to the interest he takes in it . lack of will-power promotes lack of concentration in addition to overcoming bad habits and side stepping improper temptations the will-power also proves its value to cultivate a will one must have some object or ambition in view which necessitates the map ping out of a campaign as it were which may mean the sacrifice of many pleasures or doing something continued on supplement the brown and while lehigh university bethlehem pa
