              what promises to be one of the hardest contests of the season will take place tomorrow afternoon when the big brown team will line up against the strong swarth more eleven since the defeat by lafayette on october 7th swarth more has been successful in every game her fourth successive vic tory occurring last saturday when she defeated ursinus by a score of 6 to 2 although this game was stub bornly contested on both sides swarthmore's superiority was shown throughout the game be sides possessing great speed their ability to use the forward pass suc cessfully repeatedly netted them substantial gains captain geig's old position of left tackle is being ably filled by lutz geig being played in the back field captain geig has shown up particularly well in this new posi tion in the ursinus game his line plunges through tackle were irre sistible while his forward passes were very accurate and effective in quarter-back mackissick the garnet team has a drop-kicker of great ability several times during the season swarthmore's victories have been due to this man's well directed field goals the two half backs melick and cline have dis tinguished themselves by their elu sive dodging runs while their hard and sure tackles render them val uable on the defense as well swarthmore has a large line of able substitutes howell sharpies gordon and sinclair showing up particularly well the team as a whole is in excellent condition and will afford a good opportunity of comparing the strength of our team with that of lafayette the probable swarthmore line up will be : delaplaine r e ; doan r t ; hunter r g ; messner c ; mcgovern l g ; lutz l t ; halton l e mckissick q b ; melick r h ; clime l h geig capt f b the senators club last thurs day evening at the

one of the best scrimmages of the year on the lehigh field for an hour the squads were put through the snap ! piest kind of signal drill the varsity repeatedly using the forward pass and every effort being made to pol ish smooth the plays which occa sionally cause trouble the scrubs were taught some new plays and were coached up by strauss to give the big team a good rub shortly after four o'clock the scrimmage began and for an hour the varsity team gave a splendid exhibition of football both steady and spectacular time after time they scored on the scrubs until in stead of kicking off after a touch down they merely changed goals and again commenced hammering the scrubs down the field western flick mccaffrey and crichton tore great holes in the line and repeated ly gained fifteen to twenty yards through the scrubs while spectac ular runs for thirty and forty yards were frequent the hard-fighting scrubs were hammered and batter ed until in spite of frequent substi tutions they were so weakened that the scrimmage was discontinued it was a great sight to see the big brown team ploughing up the field and one which more than ever con vinced those on the side-lines that lehigh this year has a team which would be a match for the best teams in the east besides coach reiter strauss and black on the field were also farabaugh and costello of cornell helping to whip the team into shape for the strenuous game with swarfh more on the side-lines were mr graham sporting editor of the phil adelphia north american and the cartoonist of that paper who are gathering material for a write-up in

ackerly house parties are being held this week-end at the delta upsilon and the sigma phi epsilon houses phi gamma delta and sigma chi are holding dances at their houses sat urday evening the regular monthly meeting of the civil society was held in the physics lecture room at 8 o'clock on wednesday evening a short business session preceded the pres entation of the papers an amend ment to the constitution was passed which provides that freshmen tak ing civil engineering are eligible to membership of that society ow ing to sickness the principal speak er of the evening j w hunter was unable to speak but a very able speaker robert campbell 13 made an excellent substitute the first paper was presented by henry j horn 13 on the subject of bituminous road construction and dust prevention it is a well known fact that the ordinary road disintegrates after some years of hard usage and becomes very ob jectionable on account of the dust thus produced it is the problem of the engineer to overcome this difficulty and produce roads which are practically dustless the road may be treated in different ways to prevent dust the process well known to us all and the most com mon is the watering of the road this can however be done only in large cities really for the watering facilities are not usually at hand in other places a second method is by the use of some deliquescent solution such as calcium chloride for example again as we all know roads are treated with oil mixed with an alkali the chief advantage of this system over that of the use of pure oil lies in the fact that the former process does not hinder traffic whereas the latter may held up traffic for some time in a great many cases oils with an asphaltic base are generally known to be the best for this use they are contrasted with oils hav ing a parafine base which make the road slimy and disagreeable the former kind of oil has been used extensively in california and the west to great advantage the use of oil also has the advantage over the use of water in the way of cost it has been estimated that the cost of applying oil to roads is about one-sixth that of continuous water ing the results being the same the different products used in road construction embrace many materials asphalt as found in bermuda and other places is used extensively as is also asphaltic oil tar also is very extensively used and the kinds of tar differ greatly tars obtained from gas production are not good unless purified but when refined are the best for this continued on third page i the brown and white
