by the coking of the coal supplies the fuel for the operation each oven requires 24 hours to complete ly convert its charge of coal into coke and every 15 minutes an ov en is dumped and recharged it requires 24 hours to dump all the ovens in one battery thus com pleting an entire cycle the coke frorrf the ovens is dumped into a large steel car which transports the red-hot coke at once to a

in american manhood being coach of the princeton crew and an exponent of rowing conceded by many to be the most strenuous of college ath letics he undoubtedly obtained his great physique in rowing on

keen vision and wonderful foresight he gave those present mere tid-bits as it were drawn from his large and va ried experiences with men and the things of the world as a basis for his remarks dr

lehigh team re trieved their defeat of last satur day at the hands of the perm ju nior varsity by their whirl-wind play that gave them the edge on their opponents a crisp stiff wind kept the players on their mettle and the game was maintained at top speed throughout both periods with the strong winds at their backs the local collegians started off the first half with a rush and soon had the ball in the garnet and white territory the lehigh for wards bothered test for several minutes making several unsuccess ful tries for a counter pratt and hampson broke away with the bal and dribbled the

time and aided by the strong wind lehigh maintained the offensive in the middle of the period baxter was detected hand ling the ball and lehigh was award ed a free kick fernandez took the try from the 35-yard line and won the admiration of the specta tors by a spectacular shot that tied the score gonzalez was substitu ted for walters and lehigh made an on-rush for another tally but swarthmore strengthened and for the remainder of the period both teams fought fiercely to break the tie the visitors lost their only op portunities to score when they fail ed to register the three corner-kicks awarded them continued on page four swarthmore was outclassed in the second period and except for a few rallies throughout the half had little opportunity to score the brown and white eleven streng thened by the rest between periods played remarkable soccer and de spite the handicap of the stiff wind they caused the visitors no little worry an individual run by fer a regular meeting of the elec

two-hour discus sion of the coaching system here at lehigh including not only the present but also the future system to be followed out along these lines it was the unanimous opinion of the committee that a continual coaching system was necessary at lehigh to assure the greatest suc cess in not only football but in all other sports by a continual sys tem is meant the securing of a coach who would be available the entire year and who by residing at the university could therefore choose and study his material ev en out of the respective seasons of the different sports and who could possibly coach baseball as well as football inasmuch as coach glick did not ask to return to lehigh the com mittee deemed it advisable not to request his services for the coming year in accordance with the plan outlined for the continual coaching this action was taken not due to any personal dissatisfaction with coach glick and the committee commended him upon the success of the past football season under the existing circumstances due to his business connections coach glick had to be eliminated from any conideration in order to har monize with the new plans were he available as an all-year coach glick would without doubt have been asked to return the proposition of obtaining such a man is very difficult but the ath letic committee has several excel lent candidates in view and hopes to be able to secure the man that lehigh needs to settle the coach ing question much recent discussion has fol lowed the committee's action as to the question of fairness in not giv ing coach click another chance in accordance with the approved plan and realizing that a change would be necessary anyway in the very near future the committee looked upon the action taken as an un avoidable existing condition had glick been asked to return and he should have had a more successful season than the one just past then it would have been even more diffi cult to change to the continual sys tem of coaching than at the present time the committee felt that ev en though the new system may re quire time and sacrifice for its de velopment it would insure to a greater extent the future success of athletics at lehigh basketball practice has been go jng on steadily for the past few days and coach murphy is getting a team lined up for the opening game this saturday several com binations have been
