continued on page four so great has been the inter est in this annual affair that the officials were compelled to divide the schools into two divi sions class a having a stu dent body of 250 or more while class b schools have less than 250 twenty-five schools have signified their intentions of competing by sending in 268 entries the increased growth is easily typified by comparing the 28 entries which represent ed both classes last year with the 40 that class a has list the first meeting of the new arcadia was held in drown hall monday evening at which time organization of the new body was effected and several matters of importance were brought up the most impor tant thing which came before the meeting was an appeal for aid to the suffering people of the flooded areas in the missip pi valley the matter was left to a committee appointed to make the collections with the heads of living groups responsible for his own group no set amount was agreed upon but it was de cided that fifty cents would be a fair donation for the average student it doesn't seem that this cause requires much ad vertising as it is recognized as the greatest tragedy that has continued on page six tennis team

day for lehigh university's track and field team for it is scheduled to journey down the river to easton for a clash with lafayette on march field at eight o'clock not only will this meet determine the track feud between the arch rivals for 1927 but it will bring to close the so-far unsuccessful dual meet seasons of each so that a victory for either would be significant lehigh rooters are anxious to see a repetition of last year's 70-56 victory the first over the maroon in eleven years to venture a prediction of the outcome of a meeting be tween the brown and the mar oon in any sporting event is always hazardous but it seems relatively safe to prophesy a win for coach morris kanaly in tomorrow's competition comparative scores with rut gers middle three cham pions by virtue of victories ov er both the easton and beth lehem aggregations favor the brown and white lehigh lost the season's opener to the rari tanians 70 1-2 to 55 1-2 but the team showed marked im provement in

scarlet men continued on page six the lehigh lacrosse team left this afternoon for annapolis to engage the middies tomorrow in what promises to be a really interesting game of lacrosse last saturday while the brown and white were van quishing the tough stevens team navy was meeting defeat at the hands of johns hopkins this latter defeat came as a surprise to the sport fans who are acquainted with the mar vellously strong lacrosse teams that the naval academy is wont to develop this year the navy has a good bunch of stick-wielders as usual they always seem to be in the best of condition and practically tireless as they romp back and forth the whole length of the field the le high defense will have to be wary tomorrow if they hope to keep the navy attack in check however the victory last week has given the brown and white team a world of con fidence and they fully expect to accomplish big things at an napolis several strenuous practices have been in order this week the twelve has found itself and promises to give the navy bunch one of the toughest battles of their car eer the line-up will probably be g ottey p kirkpatrick c p concilio f d phyfe s d raleigh t d buck c burke t a

to track activities captain john walter gisriel jr has been credited with a new le high record in the shot put as a result of an outstanding performance in the swarth more dual meet here on may 4 the brown and white re port of the meet in the is sue dated may 6 simply stat ed that in defeating baker in the shot put the lehigh captain came dangerously close to the university rec ord his winning toss was 38 feet 11 inches which proxi mates the record put made by bailey 14 which is listed in the trophy room at 40 feet 1-2 inch howev er after gisriel had com pleted the regulation six throws and been declared the victor he announced his in tention to try to eclipse the thirteen-year old standard cal accomplished his pur pose when he put the six teen-pound iron ball 40 feet 1 1-2 inches coach kanaly has accepted the new mark but official action on the part of the board of control is necessary before the tower ing senior is awarded a ma jor-sport letter this is the second of bailey's records that captain gisriel has dis placed and he therefore mer its recognition as the fore most brown and white weight man of all time last year cal set a new record of 130 feet 5 1-8 inches in the discus throw interfraternity council meets with the lehigh-lafayette baseball feud in the offing the brown and white batsmen are out to repeat their victory of last year in the former con flict lehigh won the series by winning two out of the three games after dropping the first game this year the maroon nine looms up as one of the most formidable teams that le high has met this season la fayette has just finished a winning streak of six consec utive victories having lost their last game to the strong navy team when they went down to defeat with a score of 4-7 , the maroon has also to its advantage a victory over rutgers to whom lehigh lost earlier in the season the last few games which the brown and white team has played have shown a decided improvement on their part a very creditable showing was made against the strong penn sylvania nine while perm has since then handed rutgers a stiff defeat by the high score > of 11-2 without a doubt le high is playing a 100 per cent better game than earlier in the season which lowers lafay ette's apparent superiority in having beaten teams that have defeated lehigh continued on page six in the persons of captain grube kirkleski and mcgar vey bell and koch lafayette has five of last year's letter men back on the team the first three of whom are football men and heavy sluggers with the bat heavy and consistent hitting seems to be lafayette's main feature and they play it to good advantage as is evi denced by their high scores re gardless of this however the contest to be staged this sat urday will probably result in only a one or two run favor for either side as is the usual out executives for next year selected last wednes day senior honorary pledges members last sunday evening the combined musical clubs re turned from their tour of three of the larger cities of new jer sey including patterson east orange and newark the trip was successful from every point of view the reception received each night was unusual and

the appearance of a formal affair that evening the members of the club were entertained at the homes of many of the residents of east orange continued on page six the climax of the trip was reached saturday evening when the clubs played to an audience of 1500 people in the ball room of the mosque theatre the concert went over exceptional ly well and in view of this fact the manager of the
