men of philadelphia bishop darst spoke in part as follows at the present time men are asking questions in regard to god and religion which were never asked before this is one of the most noticeable effects of the war on the lives of men in answering these questions it may be said that certain things are fundamental and that man will stand firm if they stand on them one of these is the eternal word of god the bible we rauct realize that it can lose much that we once considered es sential we must also realize that all churches are built on one foundation christ and that they are simply separated by narrow walls the college man is to play an important role in the future of our country he must hold up the light and blaze the way after this great conflict is over it rests with him as to whether religion and the church is to pass back to its old place after the war is over or is to hold its position in the foreground of men's minds freshmen close season with victory annual dinner

i asked a man going to camp meade if he had any chanices ; for a commission he replied without any rancor or jealousy that the commissions go usually to college men that shows a vital truth that you have done wisely in re maining to finish your course as president wilson ably expressed it we must not seek the service that will give us most pleasure but that which will do the country the most good

36-11 the team work of the 1920 team was of the very highest order and upon defensive work they were all to the good and kutztown scores were few and far between on the other hand the team play of the high school team was slow and the freshmen had little trouble in breaking it up about the only attempts they made to score were on long floor shots and a great majority of these failed in fact their score can be summed up in foul shots the playing of savaria hipkins and johnson was a feature of the game while lescher played a good game for the high school team the line-up and score : freshmen

a true criterion of the respective strength of the two teams except ing for the first few minutes of play lafayette was always on the defensive and had very few oppor tunities to score lehigh on the other hand was continually shoot ing at the basket and many times the ball would roll out by the nar rowest of margins lehigh s foul i shooting was very inaccurate and lafayette was quick to take ad vantage of this fact lafayette's shooting on the other hand was | very accurate and they made the most of their opportunities capt anderson scoring nine fouls out of ten tries anderson who is reported to be the premier college basketball j player of the season was easily lafayette's greatest asset his work however was completely eclipsed by that of wysocki and donovan the former in particu lar gave a most brilliant exhibition of defensive and offensive work in addition to very close guarding he was successful in caging the ball four times and was credited with assists in eight others donovan also played exceptionally well on the offensive and contributed ten points to lehigh s total stra üb's playing also merits much praise while hess showed up well on the defense but had little

continued on fourth page prof march's discussion of present day literary ideals proves interesting at the regular y m c a meet ing held last sunday evening professor f a march of the eng lish department at lafayette col lege gave an interesting address mr march spoke on the value of literature principally and also on the meaning of a liar especially in its broad sense in part mr march's talk fol lows : years ago a humble illiterate tinker john bunyan by name un schooled but for what education he had gotten from life wrote one of the greatest books of the world — a book circulated more widely per haps than any book except the bible — a book found as well as the bible on the shelves of peasants and poor people of all nations perhaps you have read the book especially if you are interested in religious problems yet the aver age young man has not read pil grim's progress but even if he has not read it he recognizes the characters here represented since they are so true to life he recog nizes vanity fair g-iant despair and christian in these days of speed and of rapid writing there are many books that are read more readily than the real advantageous works of literal m perhaps the young man has not read bunyan s epic on paradise lost or stevenson's faerie queen or perhaps he has not even read dickens or thack eray ; yet he knows about these things — everyone knows something about these men they know them because their characters are real and true to life though john bunyan is not read today he deserves to be read — lie is not only a real man but he is also a humorist his works con tain much real humor in pil grim's progress the interesting episodes are the little talks that ' christian ' has along the way brianz asks the question concern ing the minister who is in charge of a small country parish as to whether if he is offered a higher salary he should change to the other church under the restriction that he change and modify his preaching also the question of the tradesman who has little trade whether if he could get more trade he should join the church for that purpose then brianz's asso ciates answer yes to both these questions but upon being pre sented to christian he rebukes these men and denounces them as hypocrites liars lizards and thieves all through his book bunyan emphasizes the importance of the opposition to lying and to false hoods he presents such charac ters as liar and facing both ways this evil of lying and falsehood is shown up in bunyan s production and is explained as a great evil the old quaker feeling of truth-telling is still prominent in some places it was thought that it was false to say you to one per son because you referred to more than one person and thou to one therefore it was sinful to use the word that did not express what was meant there are different kinds of falsehoods the deceit of a doctor toward his patients by telling them how well they are getting along when actually they are

before the perm state grapplers on the latter s mat sat urday evening the score 26-5 in no way indicates the closeness of the meet which was spirited throughout and hard fought one fall for lehigh two falls and four decisions for perm state summarizes the meet booth regis tered the only score for the brown and white when he threw nolan perm state's 175-pound counter sink in quick time state's falls were tallied in the 115-pound and heavyweight classes the fact that in three of the four bouts in which the decision was given to state the lehigh man was on top at the finish shows somewhat the even match of the contestants the best wrestling of the meet was in the 125-pound class be tween acting captain bevier and detar both men had a record of not having been defeated before this meeting and a spectacular bout resulted in this as in most of the other contests the state man obtained an early advantage which was sufficient to give him the decision even though he was out classed near the end in the 115-pound class horst of state was the agressor and had reynolds in some tight places from which the latter managed to work his way out and succeeded in getting on top momentarily twice in the sixth minute horst obtained a body scissors and the fall the 125-pound class went to detar of state on decision over bevier the former was the heavier man and obtained the points by having the advantage one minute longer than bevier who had things all his own way near the end the 135-pound class between wuerz and captain long of perm state was won by the latter on ag gressiveness wuerz was nearly thrown and kept his shoulders from the mat by bridging for nearly two minutes the 145-pound class was won by terrell of perm state who was more aggressive than loeser the latter had a scissors hold on his op ponent at the end but did not have enough advantage to win the de cision the 158-pound class which went to brown of perm state on decision was much like the 145 pound match latimer of lehigh had a scissors hold and nearly threw his opponent as the time ended but lost because the state man was on top for the first five minutes the 175-pound class went to booth of lehigh on a fall in three minutes and 41 seconds it was a spirited bout for a short time until booth obtained an arm lock with which he threw his opponent i nolan in the unlimited weight class j the bout was won by the mighty czarnecki who had to grapple for more than four minutes before he | could throw his lighter opponent manley the summary 115-pound class — horst of perm state threw reynolds of lehigh with body scissors hold time 6:34 continued on fourth page mining at franklin furnace discussed by former society president the mining and geological so ciety held its monthly meeting last thursday evening in williams hall r l mccann 17 was the chief speaker at the meeting he was president of the society last year and at present is situated at frank lin furnace mines new jersey which are owned by the new jersey zinc company being situated at tliis mine he was able to explain the methods of mining the ore as no outsider could do and his talk was of such a nature that only those taking the mining engineering course could appreciate it to the full value the talk in part is as follows : the mines at franklin furnace have been worked from early times as records have shown that the mine was worked as early as 1730 and changed owners until finally the new jersey zinc company ac quired it when this company came into possession of it there arose the question of how to pro perly mine the zinc and several yearsof study were speniton finding a mining method to work the ore finally the shrinkage stope system was decided upon as the method to do this work at the least expense the ore of this mine has been found p contain over a hundred different minerals and that lead is almost completely absent analysis showing only ninety-six hundreths of a per cent 96 present the ore body lies in a highly crystalline lime stone formation and the ores are crystalline oxides of manganese iron and zincite to get the ore to the surface a large shaft was sunk into the foot wall and cross-cuts were made at different levels to this the method used is that of beginning at the bottom and mining upward the main shaft contains four compart ments two for the ore two for the men and a slight space for drain age and electric wires the levels are put into the ore bed at distances of fifty 50 feet apart vertically the depth of the ore bed is known to be about 1100 feet the headings are connected with the shaft at the different levels electric haulage is the most eceonomical on the upper levels while hand trimming is better on the lower levels the hand tram ming is done by cars of one and one-half 1 tons capacity being pushed over a one and five tenths 1.5 percent grade to the electric haulage levels the surface and spring water is pumped out of the mine by pumps placed at the bot tom of the shaft and midway be tween those and the surface the ventilation of the southern section of the mine is natural the air com ing in through the shaft and going out through the different openings the northern section is practically devoid of air in dealing with the stope system there are two kinds of stopes to consider the transversal and longi tudinal the transverse stopes are located seventeen 17 feet apart going cross-wise through the ore body while the longitudinal stopes are located one hundred 100 feet apart going in the same direction as the ore body the importance of the stope system is that it gives absolute control of the broken muck and loose ore the men have access to the stopes from the top by small shafts four feet square the loading pockets are located continued on third
