robinson pastor of the first presbyterian church of bethlehem mr robinson is a man who has been very active in the various civic movements in the city and is well known to lehigh students before whom he has fre quently spoken in his talk last sunday mr robinson said in part : the doing of right loving of right and transacting our busi ness in a right way will make a nation strong from the bible we have righteousness exalteth a nation ' we are dwelling in a grand and awful time the day is not far distant when there will be no more kings emperors czars and kaisers there is a reconstruction period coming not only abroad where things must be physically built up but in this land where hings are being shaken jftp also ' ' i have gotten a new outlook on things and the man who comes back from abroad will have a new outlook on tilings ' ' today it is for you and for me to recognized the power that is in go.d many have said i will not believe in a god who brought about this awful war ' god did not bring about this war he permitted it ' ' the first thing for you and me is to realize that we come under a law of god and to recognize and understand this law be gave us christ his son and it is up to us to recognize in christ our patron and example this is an age of efficiency and to be efficient there are three things we must do first we must recog nize one thing and concentrate on that people too often try to do many things well st paul recog nized the doctrine of mastery over one thing when he said ' this one thing i do " the second point is to do not only one thing well but to work in unison with another one man should work with another as two cogs in a wheel in the army we have the infantry and artillery and if these work together properly the battle is won a spirit of co operation is essential mr wilson said make the world safe for democracy but we must do another thing make de moracy safe for the world russia is a fine example of demoracy gone to seed ' ' ' ' the third point is consecration consecrate our talents and services to god to do your duty where ever you are these are the things whichh will make you and me strong and fit for the duties which are to devolve upon us ' ' supply bureau reopens band to be formed after outplaying their oppon ents the strong league island naval team for the better part of three periods the varsity was defeated 14 to 3 saturday on tay lor field the earlier part of the contest showed the brown and white to good advantage and although wysocki and savaria were both out of the game a better team ap peared on the field than the one that was defeated by rutgers the week before in fact the visitors did not have a ghost of a chance until the second half when a blocked punt and a sixty-yard run netted the league islanders their two tallies lehigh s lone count came in the second period when dowd dropped the ball between the goal posts from the twenty-five yard line it was only due to misjudgment that the brown and white did not score more in the initial half twice when the ball was in scoring distance long forward passes were attempted resulting in the ball go ing over the goal line the play of the varsity when they had the ball in midfield was dazzling beautiful forwards were executed together with line plunges netted yards of gain however when the ball came near the visitors eroal line the final punch was lacking webb was given his first chance to show his worth in the backfield and his line plunging was the out standing feature of the game he also handled the starting end of the air route for gaining ground in a masterful manner his punting however was of a mediocre caliber saxman and spagna both played unusually good games in the first period the ball was never out of the navy's territory on the kickoff navy fumbled and badhanu recovered the ball on the thirty-yard line twice the varsity were in scoring distance but could not get it over on either cocasion it was at the start of the second period after two passes were un successful that dowd registered the field goal he kicked from the 25-yard line the ball going low but bounced over the cross-piece the second half started well for lehigh and for the greater part of the time the bal hovered in mid field near the end of the quarter mlotter blocked one of webb's punts and the ball was carried to the varsity's 10-yard line the line held well for three downs but on the fourth the philadelphians broke through scoring the first touchdown of the game lehigb tried hard to come back and soon had the ball in navy's territory but lost the ball on downs to ward the end of the game webb punted short and stone caught the ball and scooted down the field 60 yards for the second tally since the marines disbanded a number of their star players were in the navy line-up including goldstein budd and crosetto who played the entire game and owens who was substituted in the last period continued on fourth page three lehigh men have

before the lafayette games but went out of existence after the game of 1916 when plans are completed the men in the s a t c who play instruments will be notified and urged to come out on monday after several days suspension of activity the umiver sity supply bureau opened its doors the reason for the tem porary closing of the bureau was the illness of the bursar mr ash baugh fior a time the rumor was cur rent that the supply bureau had closed its doors in order to give place to a military canteen this rumor has not been substantiated by headquarters mr okeson captain wan atta and ' ' bosie ' ' reiter were the prin cipal speakers at an athletic rally held on the lower field wednes day oct 30 the following thoughts were brought out by the speakers : football has always been the most popular sport at lehigh and lehigh has put out many good teams in the old days when college spirit ran high the brown and white showed up well against such opponents as yale princeton army and cornell this year the team has not had the proper backing that it deserves the de feat at rutgers should not be dis heartening but instead the student body should realize that they are not giving the team enough atten tion the big game of the season is approaching and lehigh men in the service the world over want to know what is going to be done will we beat lafayette there should be no question about it and from now on that is the main object of every lehigh man we have excellent material and tom keady is rounding the team into good shape but the team can t do it all every man in college must do his bit back up the team with his whole heart and soul and we will beat lafayette in the first quarter the main point of interest was the fumble by moravian on the 25 yd line when hackman snatched the ball following the rally the second team played moravian college and defeated them 27 to 0 the game was rather loosely played continued on fourth page the brown and white lehigh university y.m.c.a held
