saturday in the annual football classic at easton by the score of 27-7 outweighed fifteen pounds to the man and unable to hold the strong maroon and white line the lehigh team battled a defensive game and was completely outplay ed during the second half the first half was a real fight and it was anybody's game when the half closed a long run by gazella at the close of the first period enabled lafayette to score the only points during the first half lehigh had one chance in the third period to turn the tables with the score standing at 6-0 lafayette had carried the ball to lehigh's 25-yard line after a failure to gain brennam called for a placement kick formation the teams lined up and as soon as the ball was snapped cusick was thru the line and on the ball bren dan's foot had scarcely booted be continued on page five george flick former lehigh football captain and a real fighter then spoke his talk in part was : tomorrow the season ends i hope it will be a victory it is up to the

short yell was giv en for major lang followed by a flicker for the team at 7 30 the band started the reeting with a selection which was followed by a three-fight yell and a double-yell for the team af ter this the band led the crowd in hail the college the lafayette smoker which was held on friday night was a great success and according to gen eral opinion by far the best since before the war every man that spoke and every event was full of the old time fight and every man there had the real pep which le high has lacked in the past few years the second meeting this year of the lehigh branch of the ameri can society of electrical engineers was held thrursday evening nov 18 in the physics building pres r c hicks and secretary t c hennefberger ' were the presiding officers after a short business meeting pres hicks introduced the first speaker of the evening j m skillman 21 continued on page six mr skilknan who had served in the navy durinig the war spoke on the electrical installations on german submarines " it had been mr skillmans great fortune while stationed in england to be assigned j to a crew which was to bring to america one of the captured ger man submarines which were allot ted to us it was in this manner that he gained the rare experience of seeing a submarine in action and of working with a crew in over hauling the entire working sys tem this great store of informa j tion he divulged to the assembly in : a very satisfactory and interesting manner by the aid of wiring diagram's and a sketch of the sub j marines mr skillman directed his speech along a very smooth-run ning channel touching all note worthy points he stated that the source of power on the submarine was two batteries of sixty-eight cells each which were of the lead plate-sulphuric acid type the plates were covered with a perfor ated rubber pad to prevent them from touching each other when rocked from side to side due to the motion of the submarine much trouble was encountered in water ing the cells which were distribut ed under the floors and bunks in very inaccessible places the dis tilled water flasks could not be brought into the submarine due to lehigh-maryland club to feast at kurtz's review of r o t c favorably received glee club notice lore li redounaeci irom cusick s body cusick followed the ball own to the 45-yard line when it bounced up into his hands and out again the ball rolled a little fur ther and a lehigh man fell on it at midfield if cusick had been able to grasp the ball at that point he would have had a clear field and would have undoubtedly scored a touchdown bringing the score tc 7-6 as maginnes toe could be counted on to score the free boot that might have broken the spirit of the lafayette team and might have meant victory for lehigh lafayette and lehigh both scored in the third period and the game might have ended with the score standing at 14-13 if lehigh had been ahead many lehigh follow ers think the fourth period would not have gone as it did however cusick failed to get the ball and lehigh could not advance it from midfield " bremnan gazella and lehecka were the individual stars for lafa yette it was reported that the backfield of the maroon and white was not very formidable and le high would only have to worry about the line however things proved to be different and the splendid work of these three backs aided a great deal im the defeat brenmam proved to be a good gen eral and his selection of plays showed that he knew the lehigh weak-spots after once finding them he pounded there time after time the result being that little ga zella and big lehecka followed their heavy linesman through large gaps the lehigh defense found it a hard job to stop gazella and lehecka who with splendid inter ference made their way for yards through the line and around the end although outweighed and out played the lehigh team played to the limit and did not letup until the whistle sounded the end with the reach of the goal every man on the brown amd white team put up the best fight he could but lafa yette proved to have a better team because of the terrible strength of the line lehigh tried to hold them back but the pressure was mighty great and often they were forced to gi e away against this line the i ehigh backs were powerless their many less pounds making no im pression it at all after finding that line plunges were almost futile harry rote was sent in to hurl parses and this method gave le high her only score rote got off ome nice passes and for a little while in the second period lafa yetie was beginning to lose her grip the work of paul lark in during the entire game was very good not only did he receive the long pass from rote which resulted in a score but he played a very strong defensive game breaking in around the left end very often he was the man who put a stop to the advancement of the backs on running down punts he was excel lent a number of times dropping the receiver in his tracks sprirg creen also played a good game be ing in a number of plays with the stands packed almost as tight'y as possible the coin was continued on page three the r o t c passed in review before the board of trustees sat urday morning at 10:15 the re view was largely attended by mem bers of the student body and alum ni among whom were : charlie taylor r a wilbur and col robert nelson getty led by the band the unit made a most favorable impression on the crowd on the lower field the eight companies making up the two battalions were consolidated into four of the three platoons each bringing them up to a peace time strength the companies with fix ed bayonets went by with the pla toons in column of squads making an impressive sight much of the success of the ceremony is due to the band which not only put up a fine military showing but played as few college bands can play charlie taylor was particular ly pleased with the unit's showing bis enthusiasm being shared by dr drinker who did everything in his power to make the review the sue continued on page five the glee club will not hold their rehearsal this wednesday nov 24 on account of the absence of many of
