competition for places on the brown and white editorial staff began tuesday october 10th the competitors met in the brown and white room in drown hall where information concerning how the competition was to be conducted and rules of the competition were explained by managing editor j w gardy 23 nine freshmen and six second-year men were present as there are five vacancies on the staff for freshmen and one for sophomores a keen competition is expected it is probable that more men will enter the competition and this is highly desirable as the editors cannot pick the best men unless there is a comparatively large num ber to pick from the freshmen are encouraged to try out for the vacant positions because the brown and white cannot uphold its pres ent standard if the staff in years to come is not of the highest calibre freshmen take football laurels soccermen will journey to state i squad of 15 men lead ly coach carpenter will try to down center county collegians peppy yearlings

hall some fifty or more of the one hundred and twenty arts men in college gathered in the arcadia room in the west wing of drown hall filling the room to capacity the meeting was called to order by president e vankeuren 23 who spoke briefly of the hopes and aspirations of the officers of this year's club and what the club hopes to accomplish during the ensuing year the president emphasized the fact that only by the co-operation and individual interest of every member of the club could the offi cers of the club hope to direct them through a successful season the regular routine business of the club was dispensed with as speedily as possible in order to turn the meeting over to the speakers of the evening the first speaker on the program was the new president dr richards he chose no partic ular theme upon which to discourse but gave a general talk upon the value of a liberal education of a technical or more specialized educa tion and of the inter-relation and the dependence of one on the other he said that he thought that the honorable asa packer in founding the institution had been very wise in making it a university rather than an institute of technology lehigh in its three colleges the college of engineering of arts and science and of business administration represents a comparative large field of human endeavor the students in the various colleges by contact in and without the classroom and by exchanging views upon that field of endeavor in which they are par ticularly interested each get a bet ter and broader view upon life and are mutually helpful to one another dr richards further pointed out that one of the real benefits which an arts and science club should bestow upon its members more so than the clubs of the technical so cieties is the ability at any time for a person to get on his feet in pub lic to say what he has to say and to say it with such clearness of thought and tone of voice as to car iry the particular point which he wishes to make clear continued on page four the next speaker on the program was prof palmer head of the col lege of arts and science profes sor palmer spent last year abroad the freshmen won the series of inter-class contests monday after noon when they defeated the soph omores in football 14 to 0 while the first half was rather slow the teams both showed dash and speed in the third and fourth periods prior the freshman quarterback was the star of the game and his spectacular end-runs spelled defeat for his opponents astarita who called signals for the sophomores is to be highly commended for his splendid leadership his running with the ball and his punting earn ed for him applause from all sides the game by quarters is as follows : first quarter the frosh kicked off at the start astarita received the ball and ran it back to the soph 25-yard line as tarita made 5 yards in one play but the sophs were unable to make first down and so were forced to punt in the next play prior made 10 yards around end but due to fumbles they could not repeat this performance and had to punt the sophs then began a drive which netted two first downs after the inevitable kick prior made a first down by a long end run brown then plunged through line for 10 more yards as the whistle for the first quarter blew continued on page three notice the host of alumni who will wend their way back to old south moun tain to attend the inauguration of our new president will be treated to a rare football game at 3 o'clock to-morrow on taylor field when coach foster sanford's rutgers team will oppose lehigh continued on page four rutgers has always had the rep utation of having a big team but this year the squad is stamped by sanford as the best in his recollec tion of coaching at rutgers the squad is a squad of giants cap tain bruno raub formerly a tackle but this year playing in the backfield is probably the biggest football captain in the east and strangely fast enough also to have made both the basketball and la crosse teams captain raub stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 243 pounds raub is a product of the philiipsburg n j high school ; and is playing his fourth year at rutgers other giants under sanford's eyes this year are george smith veteran tackle weighing 204 pounds and standing an even 6 feet up ward and danny feller guard al so a six-footer and weighing 215 pounds the averages of the soph omore junior and senior members of the squad show a weight of 166 pounds even though such midgets as g d smith a 121-pound end are included in the tabulations the average age is twenty years and the height 5 feet 9 inches grouping the freshman candidates together the averages are very similar ex cept for age the average weight of the yearlings is 165 pounds the height also 5 feet 9 inches and the age 18.8 years the oldest man on the squad is h w keller star full back who is twenty four and the youngest are several freshmen who own up to seventeen years rutgers meets lehigh with no entry in the lost column in the first game of the season pennsylva nia military college was defeated 13 to 0 under a broiling sun on september 30th the scarlet al though the score was kept low met with little opposition and many substitutes were used brenkert and enander starred the latter featured with many long end runs last saturday rutgers defeated the strong fordham aggregation 20 to 15 on a rain-soaked field the overhead attack of the scarlet was too much for the metropolitan col legians and although they tied the notice all football candidates whether varsity

the field against state a great deal of coaching has been given to the defensive half of the team and a decided improvement is the result the men are all in excellent physical condition and are going to perm state with the sole intent of bringing home the bacon very little is known of the ability of the blue and white squad from what one knows of perm state's teams in general it can hardly be expected that there will be a weak team to represent her on the soc cer field and for this reason a hard battle is expected it is understood that saturday's game marks the op ening of the soccer season for perm state the probable line-up will be : — goal brewer r f 8 michelena l f 8 sieman r h 8 coleman c h 8 grace l h 8 r mercur capt 0 r walters 1 r f mercur center fernandez i l valegas o l
