business and engineering men will hear pennsylvania official trafford in hospital the november number of the alumni bulletin made its appear ance on the campus last week with a complete explanation of that bomb which was dropped into the lap of intercollegiate athletics — the carnegie foundation report other outstanding articles describe lehigh's football activities thus far this year and the founder's day ex ercises in which two leaders of in dustrial research were honored the reason for the omission of lehigh's name from the list of 26 colleges ranked perfect by the re port is explained in the following article quoted directly from the re port honor awards which named from the donor source or purpose of the fund that provides them al most invariably are bestowed upon athletes and are currently regarded by many as athletic scholarships brown one scholarship lehigh one scholarship montana five scholarships princeton eight schol arships southern california two scholarships if a traditional prac tice of awarding such scholarships to athletes exists it may be in part due to the influence of alumni in urging the appointment of athletes whom they have encouraged to at tend the university princeton again the scholarship funds may have been specially earmarked by their donors for athletes brown lehigh montana southern califor nia the alumni bulletin then added that the inclusion of lehigh in this section is justified by the exis tence of one privately endowed scholarship to be given to worfliy students to be selected from time to time by the secretary of the alumni association this scholar ship was established in 1922 and has been awarded each year to a stu dent who has complied with the wishes of the donor walter r okeson secretary and treasurer of the board of trustees gave the alumni the exact detail of each lehigh football encounter this yea rin his article snappy 1929 eleven inspires lehigh hope another article of interest tells of the awarding of the

dately fred trafford secretary of the lehigh union underwent an opera tion for ulcers of the stomach yes terday afternoon at the jefferson hospital philadelphia he has been in ill health for some time and has been treated in numerous hos pitals dr bull left yesterday for his bedside no report is yet avail able concerning his condition mining with the exception of hunting and fishing is the oldest occupation and at the present its importance ranks next to that of agriculture professor howard eck feldt head of the mining depart ment told his audience last night at the second of the series of college lectures on the general topic man's conquest over nature in packard auditorium professor eck feldt spoke on how man takes what he wants from the earth the lecture was confined to the exploitation or method of working of mines mining possesses the old est technical literature of all indus tries declared the speaker in 1556 georgius agricola wrote a book on mining in latin and illus trated it with wood-cuts of the va rious methods of obtaining crush ing and dressing ores this book was recently translated by presi dent and mrs herbert hoover he said divining rod pictured several of these ancient wood cuts were shown of which one por trayed the old time method of split ting rocks by throwing cold wa ter on rocks heated with a wood fire another depicted the use of the forked hazel-wood stick or di vining rod by which the presence of ores was determined a miner would walk over the ground hold ing the stick very tightly in a hor izontal position and if any ore were to be found there the rod would be forced down to a vertical position this same method is still used in some localities to determine the place for digging a well for water although many doubt its efficiency the working of coal mines com prised a large part of the lecture and the different methods employed in hard and soft coal veins were explained the beds of hard coal are usually in a vertical or inclined position and the material must be broken loose by hand while the soft beds are more or less flat and can be mined with machinery it has become necessary to employ in numerable complex mechanical de vices to keep the cost of operation down to a minimum so that the owners may have a profit of more than a few cents a ton said pro fessor eckfeldt sulphur mining different sulphur mining is quite different from coal mining the speaker de clared a three section pipe is driv en into the sulphur beji and boiling water is forced into the ground through one of the sections he ex plained the water melts the ore which rises through the middle of the pipe and is kept in a liquid form by a current of hot air in the inner section the sulphur thus obtained is chemically pure one of the most important in ventions in mining engineering came with the perfection of the flo tation process of dressing ores or separating the usable material from the waste prof eckfeldt contin ued after the ore has been brought to the surface of the mine it is necessary to divide the part that is valuable from the other and with the coming of the new flota tion process many mines of a low producing quality can be operated profitably he said the ore is ground very fine put in a vat con taining water and pine oil and an air current injected the oil col lects around the lighter metal which is brought to the surface by air bub bles and the heavy waste material sinks to the bottom the top of the tank is then drawn off and the ore is ready for the next stage of its route to consumption by man w s thomas old time railroad er and at present assistant general freight agent of the pennsylvania railroad will speak on modern transportation before a joint meet ing of the civil engineering society and alpha kappa psi honorary business fraternity at 8 p.m thurs day nov 14 in the packard audi torium richard tull member of the civil engineering class of 1930 will also give a short talk on the work which he did last summer the meeting will be open to the student body cup once presented to chaplain has been returned to university how much mathematics is neces sary for engineering students was the topic of discussion at the fac ulty educational club's meeting ing in packard laboratory a committee was appointed with dr fort as chairman to fur ther consider this question they are to report before the next engin eering council professor j s baker director of the curriculum in electrical engin eering and prof m s stuart of the mechanical engineering department led the discussion prof tomlinson fort prof r j fogg prof h m ullmann asst prof max petersen and proffl howard eckfeldt also spoke upon the subject autos bearing pennsylvania tags must be inspected before nov 15 wrong bulbs taken beware of tigers in november bill roper's princeton teams have the reputation of rising to great heights in this eleventh month a reputation which is founded on startling comebacks in seasons past saturday afternoon in palmer sta dium an infuriated and bloodthirsty tiger eleven tore the lehigh line into tiny pieces for thirty minutes of what it had once been expected would be a bitterly contested foot ball game and scored the three touchdowns which totalled a 20-0 defeat for the tate eleven it continued to claw the lehigh line in the second thirty minutes of play but it did no more scoring the explanation of this is simple eddie wittmer fleet back for three years a jinx to lehigh football hopes played only in the first half in which he scored all three prince ton touchdowns the orange and black attack was complete with him — futile without him scarlet was a consistent ground gainer lowry and muldaur ran the ball well but the princeton team without eddie wittmer lacked the vital spark that creates touchdowns tiger march starts it was apparent from the first tiger rush that lehigh was in for a sad beating davidowitz kicked off to the princeton 5-yard line the ball nestled snugly in wittmer's arms and came to rest on the 35 yard line wittmer stepped back and then a shot at the right side of lehigh'e line down the field for 15 yards and a first down he raced another play followed in the same spot for another first down — again by wittmer the giant whyte seemed to lay the entire left side of lehigh's line on the ground by himself many substituted for hall and motion for haas which put some life into the sagging forward wall princeton was stopped on the 20 yard line after a trick lateral pass and a forward failed to work the highly rated brown and white ele ven had its first chance to live up to reputation ware hit off tackle for three yards and on second down punted to midfield where carey was downed in his tracks wittmer gets going into action again went this sup posedly weak and sluggish tiger behind perfect interference witt mer and scarlett ploughed through the tackles and outfooted the le high ends down to the 15-yard line here again the brown and white line held and the ball was lehigh's but lehigh did nothing with it ware punted again to midfield where three lehigh linesmen sent carey to the ground with no gain perhaps quarterback carey decided that wittmer was able to do all the work for on the first touchdown the amazing eddie had a hand in every play as the tigers went down the field he ran and passed and on the seventh play went over from the two yard line barfieid received a poor pass from center and the try for point was unsuccessful starting the second period the orange and black ball carriers went wild they bucked smashed and hurdled the weakening lehigh line with wittmer leading the pack it was a tiger loaded for bear and he devoured lehigh in great chunks lea pulled down a long pass for a 25-yard gain while the brown and white backfield milled about but politely waited until the ball was caught carey sent witt mer through the left side of the le high line so often that the brown and white secondary defense was blue in the face from chasing him and throwing him to the ground over the line again went wittmer from the eight yard line and not a hand impeded his dash this time berfield spun a pretty placement ov er the crossbar score 13-0 continued on page three princeton kicked to lehigh and nora clicked off the yards until he was thrown on the 44-yard line a 22 yard pass to many put the ball in tiger territory for the first time but lehigh joy was shortlived a short flat pass to a lehigh back how much you were to my wife and i the relationship between us and the lehigh boys was without a flaw hobart undergraduates nev er could and never did take their place and i wish you to know that the 100,000 which comes to lehigh at my death is given to the univer sity by mrs stewardson and my self because of the affection we bore the lehigh students they were ineded our friends as the inscription on the loving cup stated and we have always held them in a remembrance that can only dies with ourselves when we had to abandon our last home in greenwich and sell our effects we could not bring ourselves to sell the loving cup and so we sent it back to doctor drinker with the re quest that it be used to ornament one of the tables at the annual al umni dinner on the mantlepiece of the alum ni office in the the memorial build ing stands a silver loving cup its history dates back to 1903 when it was presented by the student body as a token of high esteem to dr langdon c stewardson professor of philosophy and chaplain at le high from 1898 to 1903 dr stew ardson then taught at hobart col lege for a number of years later sailing to london where he now lives in the following letter to a c dodson 00 dr stewardson dis closes his fond recollections for his lehigh boys i do wish to tell you at last however that i deeply appreciated those few lines of yours they car ried me back into that happy past where my wife was by my side and the dear lehigh boys all around me you fellows could never know on saturday came the news of the first big victim of the stock deflation james j riordan presi dent of the county trust company of new york shot and killed him self last friday afternoon the news of his suicide was kept secret over 20 hours until banking hours had closed on saturday noon this ac tion was taken to prevent an un warranted run on the bank said the doctor in charge of the case no motive has yet been definitely attributed to the case friends de ny that riordan suffered any finan cial reverses in the market collapse despite the fact that the board of directors of the county trust com pany stated that the finances were in good condition and the bank is solvent many depositors will un doubtedly change their accounts the memory of the clark broth ers failure and the recent tobog ganing of stock values have made the average wage earner exceed ingly careful of the little he does possess * ♦ ♦ the seat for the great interna tional bank expected to manage the international debt moneys un der the young plan has been se lected as basel switzerland irk some squabbling was present as usual when belgium found she was not to have the bank at brus sels her delegates withdrew great britain and germany desired lon don as the home of the bank but france could not agree to that so finally switzerland was picked as the safest and most neutral loca tion just what part the united states shall play in the maintenance of this bank has not yet been deter mined uncle sam has been the fi nancial angel of many european na tions in the past in fact some eu ropeans have even begun to think it is almost an honor for americans to pay european's debts ♦ ♦ * when terms such as worse than communists and sons of wild jackasses issue from the mouths of some senators when referring to fellow members it is a sign that factionalism partizanship and low morale are more prominent in the upper branch of congress than the serious business of legislation 11l feeling of the dispute on tariff has become almost personal animosity when such a state of affairs comes about the business of law making is forgotten witness the following the reaction to senator moses application of western progressives as the sons of wild jackasses has driven immediate thought of the tariff reconciliation into the back ground a motion to rebuke the new hampshire senator was nar rowly defeated by the regular re publicans rumors that an attempt to depose mr moses from office as president pro-tern of the senate are circulating the progressives have announced that they will conduct separate campaigns for the re-elec tion of independent republicans disregarding the aid of the regular republican party ' this haggling exchange of wise cracks and the mazes of charges and counter charges leads to but one conclusion the senate has cut a sorry figure at this session of congress it has shown no ability to hold up its end in legislation the upper body of congress has shown neither clarity of vision nor leg islative descipline while the house of representatives promptly agreed upon a tariff bill the senate has beaten about the bush the house promptly passed a farm relief bill but the senate fought over that is sue a long time the ancient prestige of the sen ate is rapidly falling into disrepute the upper and once august body would do far better to drop person alities and take up again the cud gels in behalf of the people what is needed now is a lot less bluster ing and a lot more sense * * * the american federation of la bor plans to penetrate beyond the mason-dixon line and unionize the southern laborer there is immense need for organization of the south ern worker capitalists from all parts of the country heeded the call of the southern advertisements namely that it possesses natural re sources and cheap american labor the labor has certainly been cheap a recent survey by the department of labor showed that the average weekly wage for women was 14.62 and the average weekly wage for men was 17.41 in the mills all through the south ♦ * * in the carolinas where the recent uprisings and riots have attended the striking of the mill hands the national textile workers union a so-called communistic organization has already entered the field con flict between the federation officials and the workers union representa tives is sure to result as they are old enemies having battled bitterly throughout the north it is surely a pathetic situation when two or ganizations with the same motive that of liberating the oppressed southern worker will attempt to cut each other's throats while the laborer waits pleading but un heeded and that undoubtedly will occur when dr d m moore offered sample lights to members of the au dience after
