headed straight for ruination when you see those wild ties — it's just the frosh who have re cently acquired the privilege of wearing colored haberdashery the ties are pretty bad but you can't blame the frosh for he wants to show the world as loud ly as he can that he is now sophisticated saturday may 12 was the glorious day when dinks and black ties were thrown into the fire never again to grace mem bers of the class of 31 after the lacrosse game a double line of sophomores formed in the east-west direction on the low er field the frosh formed on the west end of the field and at a signal rushed through the line of sophomores more damage was done to the frosh through their own clumsiness in falling over each other than through the efforts of the sophomores at the other end of the field was a pile of wood onto which dinks and ties were thrown some kerosene and a match ap plied to the pile finished the regulations and the lowly frosh was thereby transformed into the happy sophomore between halves of the lacrosse game juniors were presented with canes marks of senility by seniors the seniors and juniors formed in two opposite lines in the middle of the field vice-president mcgovern of the senior class acting for presi dent billmeyer presented pres ident crewe of the junior class with his cane and at the same time the whole line of seniors gave canes to the juniors thus the class of 1928 theoretically passed out of the realm of the undergraduate and the class of 1929 moved up to take the burden of responsibility * which inevitably rests on the should ers of the senior class superior hitting and better pitching coupled with almost flawless fielding enabled coach bob adams varsity nine to give the prognosticated a severe jolt saturday for a hitherto in effective lehigh ball club won a close but well-earned game from the fast traveling lafayette clan at easton the final score read 4-3 in favor of the visitors because of the eastonians decisive victory in the first contest of the annual three-game series and their surprising vic tory last week over the unde feated n y u team that had previously won 12 straight the brown and white balltossers were not conceded much of a chance against the maroon but the dopesters had not bargained on the brown and white men rising to the occasion and show ing more class than they were believed to possess a team that did not seem to know how to stop a ball the week before did not know how to err saturday the entire team fielded cleanly and the infield especially dan o'leary and max schultz han dled the ball with both certain ay and despatch two great throws by dick stone from left field one of which prevented thompson from stretching a three-base hit into a homer were especial bits of classly fielding the only error com mitted by either side resulted from a sizzling liner which mort strauss found too hot to hold the game developed into a pitchers dual charlie brady lehigh's veteran southpaw proved a wise selection he out pitched his arch rival murburg the big sophomore who repelled the n y u batters for the first time this season and was credited with a well-merited vic tory each moundsman granted four passes but brady yielded only eight hits two less than the lafayette twirler brady also scored the winning run in the sixth inning when a three-bag ger by kelly proebstle drove him across the plate at bat lehigh's flashy dim inutive shortstop schultz stood head and shoulders above the other players max had a per fect day collecting four singles in four offcial trips to the rub ber and laying down a sacrifice on the other hit brady touch ed murburg for a double and strauss maintained his high bat ting average with two safe blows elections athletic awards s & c

victory against lafayette saturday aft ernoon on taylor field by a 6-2 score ever since lacrosse was begun at lafayette three years ago lehigh has defeated the rival stickmen save for the first few minutes of play le high was never seriously threat ened the brown and white play ers presenting a fast attack and a strong defense which over whelmed the maroon at the opening whistle cap tain dick stauffer secured the ball at center for lehigh but through inaccurate passing lafayette was able to assume the offense at the lehigh goal several unsuccessful attempts at a score ended as perlman la fayette star shot a goal from scrimmage the play went to the lafayette goal where the brown and white attack made several unsuccessful attempts to score at this time lehigh con tinually lost the ball to the visi tors finally tommy burke ran the ball the entire length of the field bringing it to with in scoring distance but missed the attempt for a score walt buck recovered the pellet and evened the score after the first counter lehigh kept the play consistently in lafayette territory but was unable to score again until the half was nearly over finally ned bak er accounted for the second tal ly the second half was practical ly a repetition of the first canto with lehigh continually in ene my territory where in spite of the apparent poor passing and catching irv finn scored the third lehigh goal lafayette then threatened to score but the brown and white defense held tight when lehigh recovered buck shot a long pass of about 15 yards which slipped past the lafayette goal tender hooker and landed within the cage for the fourth count garret bar too soon added another point to score perlman scored for lafayette but the rally was short-lived a fast brown and white attack ended when captain stauffer shot a pretty pass for the sixth and final count buck and burke played spectacular games for lehigh while perlman was the oustanding player for the maroon tomorrow the lehigh team will meet its biggest opponent of the season in clashing with maryland maryland defeated navy several weeks ago by a score of 3 to 2 at a time when the sailors were considered as the most promising contenders for olympic honors the men who started against lafayette on saturday will probably make the trip to maryland and ernie warlow art waldman and bartoo will he taken along as substitutes regulations on the carnegie comprehensive achi c v c m c n t examinations were modified at a faculty meeting monday aft ernoon in the faculty room alumni memorial building as follows : seniors in other cur ricula than arts and science will be compared with seniors in their own colleges and not with seniors in the university as a whole engineers will be compared only with engineers and bus iness administration students only with the men in that col lege seniors in the college of arts and science however will be compared with the entire university the rules for ex emptions from examinations will with this modification re main as before the reason for this change is that the examination in the opinion of the committee prov ed more favorable to the arts and science seniors than to the others whereas the pamphlet prepared by the carnegie foun dation led the faculty to believe that the examination would be equally favorable to all colleges percy hughes chairman of the committee has hopes that in spite of the fact that le high is an engineering school the results when compared with other schools will be favorable although the examinations favored arts men the
