see what material lehigh has this year and none who saw that game can deny that all pros pects are very promising cahall who this year will probably take pazzetti's place fully lived up to his reputation as a fast all-round man his excellent judgment of punts and of forward passes bids fair to give him a name in one or more of the games which follow the vet erans showed up well and all new men showed that they intended to make last year's regulars hustle for their positions western maryland comes here to-morrow with a strong team and indications point to a more well matched battle than

association delivered an address on july 23 at the forestry conference held at lake sunapee n h in the course of his talk dr drinker said : — the doctrine that forest fires and unwise taxation are the chief enemies of forest growth are no . longer preachments only to the so called theorist the lesson has been taken to heart by our people and in correspondence that during the last year i have had the privi lege of conducting with the state authorities of all the fortv-eisrht states of our country i have been greatly impressed with the universal interest that has been awakened and is spreading in the subject no less than thirty-four of our forty-eight states have taken active practical state action in forestry it is then the imperative duty of forest lovers and lumbermen in these states which have awakened or are awakening to the gravity and importance of the forestry sit uation in our country to not only locally meet and confer and ex change views as w r e are doing here but by active missionary work do all possible to stimulate action throughout our land in localities still dormant to the call — to urge the institution of forestry commis sions — and the passage of proper lire protective measures and forest taxation laws and the making of adequate appropriation for forest protection and forest fire fighting we may well congratulate our selves on the progress of education in forestry to-day there are no less than twenty-three institutions of higher learning in our country with courses leading to a degree in forestry ten more with courses cov ering one or more years in forestry and thirty-four with short courses in forestry we have some twenty seven well organized national and interstate and state forestry and conservation associations and some t b i r t y - fi v e associations organ ized for timber protection and allied con servation purposes surely with all this forest lov ers in america may well feel that the day has come when the nation is realizing the importance of the lessons that foresters and conserva tionists have been seeking to spread and the day of intelligent forestry support is here notice . there will be an epitome board meeting in

the hour by means of four large charts representing respectively the skeleton and the muscular nervous and circulatory systems of the human body the charts being conveniently arranged in the front of the ro m the lecturer dwelt mainly upon the care of the body its nourish ment development and the preven tion and cure of disease speaking on the diseases he stated the fact that practically all of our sickness results from a lack of proper care of the body and that the cause of illness can usually be traced to the individual himself hereditary dis eases are scarce and their percent age of the total is small compared with that of those contracted by contagion this latter evil is by far the more dangerous and the one against which great precautions should be taken public drinking cups the common use of towels and soap etc contribute largely to the spreading of disease illness through contagion is due to a small plant-life known as bacteria and it is the killing of these germs which leads to the prevention or cure of the malady to this end then it is necessary to seek medical aid as soon as symptoms are discovered in order that the bacteria which al ready exist there may be either ex terminated or reduced to a harm less minimum among other evils dr estes mentioned the quack doctor and patent medicines many young men have received the im pression thai they have been cured through these means when in re 7 ality the germs still exist in their systems and have in many instan ces lain contaminated their friends and associates dr estes talk and the advice connected with it

son with a victory over albright on saturday in the presence of an un usually large crowd of supporters the brown and white team romp ed away with their opponents the score of 64 to 0 telling how one sided the game was albright's warriors looked good when they trotted out on taylor field but af ter the first few minutes of play they never had a chance to score albright was outplayed in every de partment of the game and the fact that they did not get an earned first down and her players were invaria bly tackled for losses indicates the visitors weakness lehigh's line up on the other hand presented a team of veterans almost in mid season form the many substi tutes given tryouts did almost as well as the varsity the forward pass was used fre quently by both sides but only with varying success in the third quar ter a beautiful forward pass by ca hall to 11 oban netted fifty yards and paved the way for a touchdown fumbling and offside playing were too prevalent in the game the lat ter netting lehigh a penalty of fif ty yards and albright thirty-five flick hoban crichton thomas and keady all showed up well as ground-gainers and kuhn p icked out the holes in fine shape saw telle made fast time in getting down under cahall's punts which did credit to the quarterback's toe av eraging about forty yards lehigh's line played a strong game it was impossible for albright to gain any ground with line plunging and the ends proved equally strong the secondary defense closed in to the support of the ends to such good effect that many of the visitors at tempts to skirt the end resulted in loss the nearest that albright came to scoring was in the second period when on a punt and lioban's pen alty pownall missed a field goal from the thirty-yard line captain yost broke through the left of le high's line several times and broke up the play before it was fairly started benfer substituting for collins did good work in the back ficld pownall was fast and made heroic attempts to get around the ends but had no interference to help him continued on second pagg keady crossed the line for the first score of the season within four minutes of the time when green received the initial kick-off from pownall flick doing most of the gaining to the goal line i oban failed to kick goal caliali kicked no 3 the brown and white lehigh university bethlehem pa tuesday
