since it is to be the first and also the last such event in quite a while the fullest enthusiasm and cooperation on the part of every student is an abso lute necessity to achieve this mer it however

dewey wins lehigh poll governor dewey defeated pres ident roosevelt in the campus poll which was conducted in last week's b & w the total count showing 23 votes for the challeng er and 15 for the incumbent nor man thomas socialist candidate received one vote the poll could hardly be called a true reflection of lehigh senti ment since only 39 out of more than 300 students cast ballots experts attributed the slight vote to the fact that the ballots had to be signed on the night before the national election student political leaders were asked to make last minute statements homer gross a prom inent leader of lehigh men for roosevelt declared we will win bob mertz president of the le high student republication asso ciation said we have done our best to convince the intelligent in dependent citizen that he should vote for dewey with the campaign behind them the political groups began to tally the cost of their activities mertz's group announced that it spent 31 for advertising

dances in past years is breathing easy fol lowing the arcadia dance of no vember 4th the dance featured music by dick smith and his or chestra a very good dance band from easton and about 200 cou ples found music to their taste whether slow dreamy ballads or hot fast jump numbers the dance was a semi-formal affair with the girls dressed in their loveliest evening attire and a handful of boys braving tuxs the inter-semester vacation pre vented the astp members of le high from attending the dance but all branches of the service were represented adequately dick smith had a well balanced band with a smooth working sax section and an even better brass combination the trumpet section featured a fine soloist who did no bly with such songs as duke el lington's boy meets horn and star dust the lovers of the slower type of song also found plenty of num bers to their liking the vocalist had a rich quality and a jazz feel ing to her voice that had many of the boys momentarily forgetting their dates grace hall has seen better bands in its day but no one left the dance disappointed a.s.m.e elects officers brossman president the american society of me chanical engineers held a meeting in

stands out as engineers lose 19 to 6 by warren fox the lehigh football eleven again went down in defeat but this time they went down fighting the fi nal score stood at 19-6 but this doesn't tell the true story two bad misplays by lehigh punt re ceivers and a bit of poor football generalship accounted for all three of the scarlet markers lehigh's score which was the culmination of a 60 yard desperate passing at tack came in the last minutes of play granese stars for lehigrh the sparkling backfield work running and blocking of al gran ese gave the lehigh team what it has lacked so far this season granese was calling signals for the engineers and with the exception of not kicking on fourth down in the first quarter which led the way to the first rutgers score the lehigh team played its smartest football of this season bernie marcus starting for the first time at quarterback played outstand ing ball with one particularly good run and a lot of good passes and kicks in the passing he con nected for 8 out of 12 attempts george harris who started his first collegiate game last week showed outstanding promise both as a running and blocking back it was he who tallied lehigh's sole six pointer in the line captain pete kitson played his usual out standing game at tackle while lanky ken thiele did a good job at end rutgers hipolit shines for rutgers it was all john hip olit frosh back who took the place of the mighty bela rieger hipo lit kicked blocked ran for 30 yards to score one touchdown ran the ball for an extra point and passed for a second rutgers tally the opening kickoff of hipolit carried to the 25 where harris carried the leather back to the 31 yard line lehigh's first play a reverse from marcus to granese resulted in a ten yard loss and on the next play marcus punted to d'lmperio who brought the ball to his own 48 the engineers re ceived a good break when dezer fumbled and kitson recovered for lehigh on the scarlet 43 yard stripe three plays netted the en gineers nine yards and on fourth down granese elected to have harris try the line harris was thrown for an eight yard loss and the rutgers team took over for the drive that ended only when the pigskin was safely on the other side of the lehigh goal line gates went off guard for eight and hipo lit slashed off tackle for nine more and the first rutgers first down on the next play gates went for two yards and was tackled by matt peterson who was hurt on the play runs by hipolit and gates netted another first down and then gates broke loose around right end for 14 yards and a first down on

should be honored by the present members of the school how about it
