team lost a league game to swarthmore at swarth more by a score of 2 goals to 1 from the start the brown and white team worked at a disadvan tage the field being rather poor and having a decided slope up which le high had to kick having lost the toss throughout the first half swarthmore pressed this advantage and scored indirectly from a cor ner while lehigh seemed to be un able to bring into play the same type of teamwork that they have heretofore manifested during the second half however the advantage changed sides and although the scoring was even the swarthmore team was slightly outplayed and gradually started a kind of system atic rough-house the score in the first half was somewhat of a break for swarth more michelina gave away a cor ncr and the trial for goal was well blocked by brewer whose kick went directly to the swarthmore center landis scored by a seem ingly unintentional kick continued on page four upon changing goals for the sec ond half lehigh got the down-hill slope and proceeded to show better teamwork fritz mercur passed to fernandez who kicked for lehigh's one tally immediately succeeding this goal the swarthmore team started their plunging tactics near ly 40 fouls were called upon swarth more walters the lehigh outside right was continually knocked off sunday was a gloomy day for those sons of lehigh who enter tained guests at the house parties as they saw the fair ones departing the memory of that week-end will linger with us for some time to come for though the time was short everyone enjoyed themselves to the utmost and nothing was left undone which might afford more pleasure to our charming guests friday afternoon all roads led to bethlehem and every train left a goodly number of happy and ex pectant girls that night drown hall was the scene of the sopho more cotillion and the floor was filled to capacity the hall was at tractively decorated in brown and white streamers and put up a very pretty appearance louis cohen's orchestra of new york furnished the music and their splendid play ing was more than enough to cap the climax and make the party the wonderful success that it was the dance was scheduled to close at 3 o'clock but a collection was taken up and the necessary amount of money was raised to keep the mu sic going until 4 o'clock the freshmen not to be outdone held their dance on friday night at the phi gamma delta house music being furnished by the delta upsi lon orchestra of lafayette the dance was well attended and the music was well above par all of which helped to make the program continued on page three

third with a score of 60 rutgers winning with the low score of 21 and lafayette with a score of 39 and although defeated the lehigh runners were in the race from the start rutgers's course about 5j5 j / 2 miles in length which is an ideal one but both lehigh and lafay ette were caught at a disadvantage when they had no long-spiked shoes since they expected at least half the distance to be road work the course was seven-eighths meadows pasture and park where smooth soled shoes soon became slippery underfoot the fast rutgers team took the lead with the firing of the gun and with the exception of two lafayette men were never headed although the maroon and brown and white teams were close on their heels un til the halfway mark was passed after this they steadily increased their lead 1 , finishing second third fourth fifth and seventh farn ham the lafayette freshman was the first man to finish but he was ahead of powell of rutgers only by inches ; their times being only a fifth of a second apart both pow ell and farnham entered the foot ball field which marked the finish of the race together and it was on ly after one of the hardest-fought sprints ever seen at the finish of a race that he was able to defeat the rutgers captain porter who fin ished 11th was the first lehigh man to cross the line he being about a minute and a half behind the win ner the men finished in the

building charles h miller 23 the president first spoke a few words urging the men pres ent to join the y m c a and then introduced professor john l stewart the first speaker of the evening professor stewart spoke on the change in public attitude towards engineering that has taken place in this country during the last twenty years the money given to found the massachusetts institute of tech nology was first offered to harvard but was refused because science was not thought a fit subject for gentle men to study neither would ox ford and cambridge in england have anything to do with develop ment in chemistry and metallurgy it is up to the engineers of le high and other colleges to make sci ence appreciated in america and have it paid as it should be men of science should sit on board's of directors instead of being merely hired men as a final word of advice pro fessor stev/art urge 1 r er r student to fall in love with scene great man in his field to think what he would have done when things went against him and the joy of work will be ample satisfaction for a life of service at the close of professor stew art's talk mr miller extended the thanks of the society and then in troduced dr charles r richards dr richards stated that he thought no science was more fascinating and offered a greater field for de velopment than that of chemistry for an example of a thing thought impossible being discovered through chemistry he mentioned work done by dr parr with whom he was once associated dr parr develop ed a process of making a very high grade of coke from any type of bi tuminous coal in one-third the time then thought necessary another phase of chemistry which appealed to dr richards is liquid fuel there are few things more neces sary to civilization than the liquid fuel engine continued on page three in closing dr richards said that he was glad that the students had various engineering societies such as the chemical society he said that these organizations can develop pre-medical society to hear prominent dentist highway engineer at next civil meeting the meeting of the newly-organ ized varsity club of lehigh uni versity was held last thursday ev ening in

impossible for professors and instructors to exer cise the supervision over the men which they received at home or in a preparatory school and some or ganization is needed to in some de giree take the

engineer should avail himself of the opportunity to hear such an eminent authority as dr hatt the largest crowd of the season witnessed lehigh go down to de feat at the hands of the bucknell team to the tune of 14 to 0 the clever line work of the lewisburg collegians and the versatile attack of their backs kept lehigh on the defensive the greater part of the afternoon jenkins's long end-runs and dietrich's center-plunges com bined with dayhoff's forward pass ing had lehigh working hard to defend her goal the game was featured by the many off-side pen alties inflicted on lehigh and by nu merous fumbles especially on buck nell's part bucknell's first score came short ly after the play began as a result of a series of off-side penalties which carried the ball to within striking distance of lehigh's goal jenkins carried the ball to the 4 yard line in a long end-run but fumbled dietrich scooped the ball up immediately and carried it over for a tally the point after touch down came as a result of lehigh's being off-side on the play in the second period the power ful bucknell offense started march ing down the field several times but each time a fumble or an inter cepted forward pass gave lehigh the ball and cusick punted out of danger an aerial attack instituted by lehigh also failed to gain much ground the third period was a good deal the same the ball changing hands very often and neither side being able to effect material gains but in the final period lehigh opened up a strong attack which brought the team to bucknell's 20-yard line with a first down lehigh was pen alized 15 yards but this was amply made up for by a beautiful forward pass greer to burke which gained 30 yards this gave lehigh a first down on bucknell's 10-yard line with every chance to score but while morgan was about to throw a forward he was tackled so hard that he lost the ball and julian bucknell's left end raced 85 yards down the field for his team's second score lehigh came back strong for a time but finally lost the ball on downs bucknell then opened up a bewildering overhead attack and was only 6 yards from another touchdown when the final whistle blew first quarter continued on page four bucknell won the toss and mor gan kicked off to walker who was forced out of bounds on the 30 yard ilne cusick punted to die trich who fumbled and recovered on the 28-yard line dietrich made 3 yards through center dayhoff went through center for 2 a for ward pass dayhoff to kopp gain ed 20 yards hoffman was off-side and lehigh was penalized 5 yards kopp got through but the ball was out of bounds lehigh was off-side on the next play and penalized 5 yards making it bucknell's first down kopp went through left the rifle team defeated the strong virginia polytechnic institute team last friday by a score of 494 to 492 this was the first match of the season for our team and augurs well for the future in the first match last year a gainst drexel lehigh made a score of 495 but all of
