metal said e h bunce of the new jersey zinc company at chemical society meet ing last night in the chemistry lec ture room the volume compari son shows that the production of zinc is about four per cent greater than copper its nearest rival . mr bunce is the general manag er of the technical department of the new jersey zinc company one of the oldest industries in the le high valley he is the head of a group of 270 research workers in the zinc industry he graduated from cornell and has been with the company 20 years variety of products according to mr bunce zinc is a comparatively unfamiliar metal because most of its products serve as raw materials for other indus tries zinc is not easily recognized in a can of paint the rubber tire the porcelain bath tub or the phar maceutical preparation about 55,000,000 pounds of zinc metal are used in the manufacture of automo biles in a year and yet very few drivers realize that there is any zinc in the make-up of their cars ¦ the method of recovering zinc by smelting continued mr bunce was known to the chinese at a very early date but it was not un til 1805 that a zinc works was set up in england the first commer cial production in the united states was in 1859 in the city of bethle hem mr bunce illustrated his talk with slides and moving pictures after the meeting he presented dr ullmann with some of the speci mens he had brought along to ex hibit statistics of lafayette squad statistics of lehigh squad in 64 contests lehigh has won 23 lafayette 37 4 games tied tomorrov at 2 o'clock on tay lor field the clarion will sound its call for the annual battle of the lehigh valley tomorrow lehigh and lafayette will clash in their 65th contest for gridiron suprema cy this series starting in 1884 and continuing with but one break is the second oldest in the country being surpassed in age only by the yale-harvard battles in 47 years of lafayette-lehigh rivalry out of 64 games played lehigh has won 23 lafayette car rying away the victory in 37 con tests four games ended in a tie in 1885 lafayette received the only game ever forfeited by a lehigh team when the brown and white squad walked off the field because of a disputed decision by the ref eree silence the lafayette bell is the plea of the coaches as the tate men prepare to face the fighting marquis this bell tolls each vic tory of the eastonites over lehigh and this year the tatemen heeding the call of their coaches are grimly determined to prevent this bell from ringing out its song of victory this bell has tolled each year ex cepting the brown and white vic tory in 29 for 13 years tomor row a confident leopard squad ex pects to hear its heavy tones once again toll down the lehigh valley critics praise lafayette " r " our oppents are going into their final game tomorrow with a keen desire to keep their record clean this team is perhaps the best that lafayette ever sent to taylor sta dium it is rated by football critics as the best defensive team in the east and so far this season has had only 19 points amassed against it their goal line has been crossed but twice this season colgate doing so both times to win by a score of 16-0 one other defeat has been chalked up against the marquis this reverse being at the hands of a strong perm team 3-0 both lehigh and lafayette have met common opponents and some comparison may be made as to the relative strength of the two teams pennsylvania smothered the brown and white 33-0 but was able to gain only three points against the lafayette eleven however lehigh has improved tremendously since this game and the coaches believe that the men will have reached the peak of their stride in tomorrow's game both rutgers and muhlen berg suffered defeat at the hands of the leopards the score being 22-0 and 26-0 respectively the tatemen though they swamped muhlenberg 33-0 lost to rutgers 26-12 if scores do not lie then la fayette has much the stronger team however the rivalry between the teams always offsets predicted dope and this game promises to be as close at the last two the maroon coach said yesterday that regard less of the strength of either team we are expecting one of our tough est battles it certainly will not be an easy game tate backs this statement by saying that we ex pect it to be the same kind of a game that it has been during the last two years lehigh has light workout the workouts this week were rather light and scrimmage was entirely eliminated for the first time during the entire season the major portion was spent in review ing fundamentals and smoothing off irregularities evidenced in the rutgers game it is the coach's desire that every man go into the game in perfect condition and they are not taking any chances on los ing men through injuries during the first of the week the team re ceived a blackboard talk by cy morgan 24 who has scouted la fayette for the last four years wednesday and thursday were spent in snappy
