on saturday even ing the lehigh basketball quintet was forced to bow their heads in defeat to the university of roches ter the score of 18 to 15 indi cates to some extent just how closely the game was contested but it does not show that the brown and white outpointed their oppo nents in the number of goals made from the field with seven to their credit as compared to six for roch ester it was rochester's game by virtue of the fact that the new yorkers throughout the entire game committed but one foul while they were given 13 free shots at the goal of which six were con verted into as many points ac cording to the rochester chronicle and democrat lehigh fighting every inch of the way was de feated but not disgraced it was rochester who scored first when woodams shot a basket soon after the game began a few min utes later with s score tied at 4 4 both lehigh and rochester struggled for fully five minutes without a score then rochester forged ahead when harper scored three goals in as many minutes while dynan was able to score but once for lehigh the first half ended with the score at 12-7 in favor of rochester in the second period the brown and white five scored four baskets from the floor and rochester but one captain hale of rochester was too closely guarded by brewster to permit of much individual work and on the whole the lehigh de fense gave him trouble it was hale who was largely responsible for lehigh s defeat last year and there is no small consolation in the fact that the lehigh forward pre vented him from adding any points to his team's score for rochester harper was most ly in the limelight particularly in the first half in the final period however ketcham the lehigh guard took his measure and pre vented further scoring from the field by his opponent dynan played most brilliantly for lehigh scoring eight of le high's 15 points brewster and ketcham too deserve mention for their close defensive game lehigh as a whole measured higher than rochester in breaking up the drib bling game and as a team too had reached a finer point of develop ment than rochester in the sec ond half lehigh led the line-up : continued on fourth page berks county club

christian association of north america his subject was chris tian leadership china's urgent need mr chuan said : china is at the dawn of an extraordinary age she is achieving victories in science industry education etc with her great population and her unlimited national resources nothing will be too difficult for her but there is a doubt if this will make her strong to make china effective so that she may take her place as a great na tion strong christian leadership is needed china in coming in contact with other nations is not only con fronted with her own weaknesses but with the undesirable elements of foreign influence — her own weakness of opium given her by great britain and of a monarchic form of government the foreign temptations of smoking drinking materialism and many others a good many of the chinese stu dents think that industries will be the salvation of china but this alone will not be sufficient china does not want monopolies which will cheat the people she wants cap tains of industries who will help their employees china needs strong leaders confucianism alone is not strong enough though it has many vital principles to which china has owed its existence for many cen turies it lacks one essential and that is the dynamic force which forces people to do things this one essential which confucianism lacks is the heart of christianity china needs christianity not in name but in reality for the last half century china has had unsatisfactory diplomatic relations in the north russia is pressing china in the northeast japan in the east germany and in the south great britain from all these countries she has not re ceived fair treatment in order to meet this situation it has long been realized that china needs a strong army and navy but when we look to the situation at present in eu rope we hesitate about miiltary ef ficiency strong leaders are needed for the army and navy who will fight only for cause and justice men are needed who will distin guish between right and wrong leaders are needed in military af fairs with christ-like principles to carry on warfare it is the chinese students in this country who are preparing to be the future leaders in china there are at present about 1500 chinese students in this country they are responsible for the future of china but there is also a responsibility on the institutions where they
