Dr. Claude Gillete Beardslee. No one who lias known nun even slightly will ever lie able to lorget his smile, his friendly manner, or his faith in the Lehigh student. Ol all the men on campus I )r. Beardslee was invariably the lirst to voice his support ol student desire. I [e was inevitably the one to whom we all could turn in case ol personal troubles. 1 hose of us who have taken recourse to his counsel know intimately his inner strength and soundness. This was always true; hut throughout the war. when morale was low and when so much that was really Lehigh was lost. I )r. Beardslee was even more the strength and inspiration ol the campus. We could not have the old Lehigh, hiil we did have him and his hearty support ol us all. With this in mind we have dedicated this Epitome to him with the sincere hope that he will soon return alter his well earned vacation. DR.C. G. BEARDSLEE jetewoM Lehigh is on the road back. She is returning to her former self after having been submerged in the chaos of war. During those years the tradi- tional spirit and faith that once predominated lay dormant. In fact there were those who did not believe that Lehigh could live again, for they were never fully cognizant of what Lehigh really was. In essence, Lehigh is far more than a conglomeration of buildings full of students and faculty. She is a spirit resting in our very souls. She is the love in our hearts that was born through hard work and exuberant play. Lehigh ' s strength is intangible, but virtually immortal. The theme of this 1946 Epitome is The Road Back, for Lehigh is reviving. Soon she will again be the Lehigh we used to know. Then the war years will be but a bad dream, for the real spirit and feeling will have come back, and Lehigh will be secure in a new postwar world. page four WRAY H.

Listed as the primary qualifications for membership are the following: integrity, fellowship, humility, courage, and con- secration to a great purpose. The fraternity was founded at Washington and Lee University in 1914, and Lehigh ' s Xi Circle was installed in 1925. Specifically, the purposes of the organization are to honor those students who have shown sound moral character and excellence in extracurricular activities. This honorary society wishes to establish in the eyes of the students the ideal criterion of unselfish leadership and attainment. ' 96.

Cyanide men, H. Baer, R, Jeffrey, R. Belmonte, D. Herder, and J. Epstein track down a freshman violator with June Dawson ' ; aid. Cyanide The Cyanide Club is Lehigh ' s Junior honorary activities society. Its membership consists of men in the junior class who have participated in and distinguished them- selves in a wide variety of activities as well as maintained a good scholastic average. The main function of Cyanide is to enforce freshman regulations and bring to trial those frosh who have violated them. The war has greatly complicated the prob- lem of enforcement for Cyanide, because freshman veterans are not subject to the regulations, and the percentage of non-veteran frosh is small indeed.

Goodman, i - itusiafid and ' finesse In 1885, Richard Harding Davis, founder of Arcadia, introduced to Lehigh Mustard and Cheese, the University dramatic club. Active for over a half a century, Mustard and Cheese has presented practically every type of production including several musical comedies written entirely by members of the student body. Sixty-one years ago, a few Lehigh students frequently met in Charlie Rennig ' s tavern. These men would drink beer and eat cheese sandwiches spread with mustard. This group originated the idea of a dramatic club and almost immediately the idea became a reality under the skillful leadership of Richard Harding Davis. When Albert Rights arrived on the scene some twelve years ago Mustard and Cheese took on new proportions. A Dramatic Workshop was formed to train aspir- ing undergraduates in acting, staging and writing. The future of the club is bright. With Lehigh operating at full strength once more, Mustard and Cheese is expected to produce two or three plays in the forth- coming season. HUDDLE. R. MacAdams, J. Epstein, A, Goodman, and W.

All types of debates, both intercollegiate and intramural are sponsored by D. O. T. The War has not smothered Lehigh debating spirit. The Lehigh Valley Debating League was organized chiefly because of the efforts of D. O. T. This debat- ing conference includes a half dozen men ' s and women ' s colleges throughout the Valley. Intramural contests have been conducted within recent years. Although spec- tator interest might have dropped a little, D.O.T. is planning a bigger future than ever before. STANDING: M. Schvey, C.

In the last decade at Lehigh, Pi Delt was responsible for the complete reorgan- ization of the Brown and White. In 1938, the chapter sponsored a national conven- tion at Lehigh. Even during the low ebb of Lehigh ' s war years Pi Delta Epsilon did not suffer immeasurably, but kept up its basic activities, even to the point of having joint meetings with Moravian College ' s Journalistic interests.

The purpose of the society is two- fold : to provide students interested in music an opportunity to listen to outside speakers and to take part in discussions on musical subjects at the regular meeting. To join Tone, one must submit a composition on music for an entrance requirement and formal acceptance follows by a vote of the presiding officers. The comparative youngness of Tone has not prevented it from becoming a very active organization in Lehigh. Even though its memberhsip is limited, Tone is now firmly established to forward musical actnity and to offer opportunity for student appreciation, interpretation, and composition of music.

At Christmas, 1945, the group gave a concert in Packer Chapel along with Moravian Women ' s College Glee Club.

Phi Beta ftafifia At William and Mary College on December 5, 1776, Phi Beta Kappa, the nation ' s oldest fraternity, was founded. It was not until after 1883 that its promi- nence spread as a national honorary for scholastic excellence in literae humaniories when the first national council was organized. Prior to this Phi Beta Kappa could be found at many colleges throughout the South and East, but the recognition given each chapter depended mostly on local conditions. The Lehigh Chapter was formally installed as Beta of Pennsylvania on April 5, 1887. Each year a council of faculty members selects the seniors in Lehigh ' s three col- leges who have displayed excellence in non-technical subjects. In former years, a Phi Beta Kappa lecture was given on the evening before Commencement, but since 1920, the lecture has been given in connection with the Lafayette chapter and is held early in May. page forty-nine AIEE MEMBERS: J.

Scott. The purpose was to give student engineers an opportunity to make contact with men in industiy. The A. I. E. E. continued its normal, though somewhat curtailed functions throughout the war years. At meetings, talks are given by men in industiy which arc sometimes supplemented by Senior Seminar papers on some technical subject. The Electrical Engineering department is rapidly approaching its former strength, and the A. I. E. E. is progressing with it. page fi ' tv ATOMIC BOMB fundamentals are not being studied by either R.

The Chi Chapter at Lehigh University was granted its chapter in 1926. Since that time, it has become an important influence upon men in the electrical engineer- ing curriculum. The society has donated a library and furnished a reading room in Packard Laboratory. R. Smith, W. Sauber, Prof. Beaver, E. Manning, D. Herder. page fifty-one R. MacAdams, Prof. Larkin, R. Huyett, M. Rambercj, Pi jau Siqma In 1915 at the University of Illinois, a group of students guided and led by Dr. Charles Russ Richards, a past president of Lehigh, founded Pi Tau Sigma, the honor- ary mechanical engineering society. As stated in its constitution, the organization was founded to foster the ideals of the engineering profession, to stimulate interest in coordinate departmental activities and to promote the welfare of its members. The Lehigh Theta Chapter received its charter in 1927 and later it expanded to include the Industrial Engineering students because these two curricula are so closely related. It is one of sixteen active chapters located at leading engineering colleges throughout the nation. Because of the war, Pi Tau Sigma has few active members at Lehigh. Hcwever, with the present influx of returned veterans there is a wealth of material from which this organization may select its members and rebuild to its p e-war level. EFFICIENCY. R.

Pni £ta oiqma Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman honorary scholastic society, has two aims: to honor freshmen with a high scholastic standing, and to stimulate a higher standard of academic activity on the campus by emphasizing the need for developing as fully as possible the mind, body, and character. The requirement for membership is a 3.3 average in either semester of the freshman year. Every semester the society distributes among incoming freshmen a pamphlet called How to Study. Also, during normal times, the society awarded a scholarship cup to the living group whose freshmen, at least five, made the highest scholastic average during the preceding year. The Lehigh chapter was organized in 1930 through the efforts of Prof. H. V. Anderson of the Department of Chemistry. A high percentage of the freshmen members of the society became leaders on campus as upper-classmen. STANDING: W. Creiti, N. Frishberg, L. Fox, R. Parkinson. SITTIh ' G: M. Pomc-ra.iiz, D.

Regular meetings are held at which the members present talks on various mathe- matical topics such as The Mathematics of Cosmic Rays , External Ballistics , and Fermat ' s Last Theorem . During normal times a distinguished mathematician was brought to Lehigh once each year by Pi Mu Epsilon in order to give a public lecture on mathematics, but since early in the war this practice has of necessity been discon- tinued. The Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon has been a noteworthy or- ganization on campus since 1929, when a charter was awarded to the Lehigh Mathe- matics Club by the national organization.

Williams, late profes- sor of mining engineering at Lehigh, founded the society with the intention that it become the goal of every engineering student to do his best work as an undergrad- ate in order to be a member. In order to provide for a strong, highly respected soci- ety, an emphasis has been placed upon the character traits of integrity, adaptability, unselfish activity, and upon breadth of interest both inside and outside of engin- eering. Tau Beta Pi has become a powerful influence upon the engineering profession. There are at present 76 chapters in leading colleges and universities, and over 30,000 members. JUST LOOKING, of Ihe Bent.

(Hi toey s Beqinninq The Fraternity in Living Anyone who takes the trouble to look at a 1945 Epitome can see at a glance by contrast with this 19 16 Epitome what an amazing change has taken place within the University life. No other section within this book shows so completely the revitalization of the education and social- ization of man in a world licking its wounds. The years are now passed in which fraternity and living groups closed up one by one, or reopened to the long lines of marching men, and then closed again to leave empty hearths and shuttered exteriors for the passersby to stare at. The laugh- ter, the jov of living, parties, the common tasks of study, work and play, all these are again evidence of the Fraternity in Living. But most important! There ' s a new tone pattern in this canvas of col- lege life. The ex-GI is the central figure. Years have been taken from his ordinary share of life. He now has to compress the years of study and play into as few as possible; he must plan for the future. He has serious ideas about a better world . . . some call it the fraternity of man. So we welcome our soldier, sailor, marine, and merchant marine back to the campus that belongs to them, to the fraternities that have again opened their doors. i (P vote oj f j iank A Fraternal Reflection We cannot, as editors of the 1946 Epitome, put aside this book without mention of a very important fact. During the war years as fraternities found themselves depleted of personnel the only solution to the living problem for the remaining students was to reorganize many of the living groups. Numbers of students from various houses combined to form new groups, and these new groups found grateful assistance from many of the fraternal organizations and their alumni in maintaining the building upkeep for many months; especially does Lehigh feel grateful to the loyal alumni who gave considerable money, time, and energy to make sure that the fraternities could maintain their homes until the war was over. To those fraternities that opened their doors to the military and to Mr. Andrew Litzenberger who helped oversee the use of fraternity houses, a word of thanks should be extended. As this book goes to print, Lehigh ' s enrollment is swelling to a reported 2700 students, and again the fraternities have stepped into the breach; many houses are overloading their quotas, regardless of actual fraternal affiliation. Such fraternal feeling is of high order; the spirit of Lehigh is greatly enriched. page sixty-seven Kafifia Sic iqma BACK ROW: Sennello, Kaup. Sarricks, Chiles, Van Nort, Huber, DjPaoli, Darlow.

Since the date of its establishment, it has been one of the fastest growing of all national fraternities. A merger with Theta Upsilon Omega, effected last year, has now placed it among the ten largest fraternities in the country. Sixteen members of a local society— Omega Phi Alpha, formerly Delta Epsilon— founded in 1908 the Lehigh chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. The national fraternity, which was then in its ninth year, granted the new chapter its charter. Thus, Pennsyl- vania Epsilon came into being. It was the seventeenth of seventy chapters eventually to spring up throughout the country. STANDING: W. Bartholomew, D. Burre, F. Spencer Craig, R. Huyett, R. Graber, H. Donaghy. W. Woodside, R.

Today the members of Sigma Phi Epsilon are popularly known as Sig Eps . The first Pennsylvania Epsilon house was located on West Fourth Street. A few vears later the fraternity purchased a house on the northwest corner of Fourth and Wyandotte Streets, and in 1925 moved to 61 West Market Street, where the mem- bers have continued to live up to the present time. Three hundred and eighty-four Lehigh men have been initiated into Sigma Phi Epsilon in these thirty-eight years. VIC TIME at the Sig Ep house when R. Winkle. B. Conlin, F. Christ, R. Lohrmann and F.

In 1927, a group of the members of the class of 1931, founded the local frater- nity Omega Phi Sigma, an organization which was to uphold high scholarship and good fellowship. The society began its first rushing season the following fall, after purchasing a house on Montclair Avenue. The fraternity grew steadily, and, for five years, was the only local fraternity at Lehigh. HOT SHOT. R. Karlik, S. Purdy, B. Hoyt, and G. Houston look on as L.

Consequently, in the spring of 1934, the society petitioned for admittance to Beta Kappa, a young, but well-organized, fraternity. On May 19, 1934, the local be- came the Alpha Sigma chapter of Beta Kappa. In the spring of 1942, the entire Beta Kappa national merged with the Theta Chi national. The Lehigh Chapter, now Beta Sigma of Theta Chi, was the first Beta Sigma chapter to be installed in Theta Chi. Their chapter house is at 805 Delaware Avenue. MIDNIGHT SNACK at Theta Chi. R.

Tau Delta Phi was able to function strongly during the war years. It, fortunately, knew little trouble because of wartime contingencies, and what with the advent of peace, once more will con- tinue as before. WHOSE GIRL? S. Lojrie, R. Tove and 5.

Singular among fraternities in that it limits its membership to those of the Catholic religion, Theta Kappa Phi became a national fraternity when, in 1922, the local group coupled with a fraternity of like views at Penn State College.

Beta Theta Pi was founded at Miami University in 1839, the sixth secret college Greek letter fraternity, and the first west of the Alleghenies. In 1891, Beta Chi Chapter was established at Lehigh, and eleven men were ini- tiated. By 1926, the house in Sayre Park was completed and the Betas moved in. The Beta Theta Pi chapter has been active ever since, though it did lose its house to the ASTP a few years ago. Now, however, many men have returned, and the Beta ' s are in full strength at Lehigh once again. The Lehigh chapter has now intiated 325 active members into Beta Theta Pi. NOW THIS GADGET . . H.

In addition to holding the distinction of being the first fraternity to be founded at Lehigh University, Chi Phi also holds the distinction of having one of the largest houses on the campus. The building, situated half-way up the hill , normally holds a compliment of 32 men. Extracurricularly, the men of Chi Phi have concentrated a great deal in sports, particularly in fencing, lacrosse, and swimming. The house customarily recognizes achievement among its members by awarding a senior plaque honoring the man in the outgoing class who has done the most for the chapter. JOKE OR JOKERS. G. Huber, W.

Chi Psi fraternity was organized over a century ago, in 1841, at Union College by a group of students who recognized the need for a closer and more refined mutual friendship among undergraduates. The fraternity took on a policy of very conserva- tive growth through out its existence, until today there are twenty-five closely-knit, strong chapters in the major colleges and universities in the country. Alpha Beta Delta chapter of Chi Psi was established at Lehigh in 1894, and took residence in a house on Seneca Street. In 1915, the alumni built a beautiful house in Sayre Park, a house which is a real contribution to the attractiveness of the campus. PAPER SHORTAGE. J. Adams, F. Bar tholomew, P. Tiffany, R.

Founded at Union College in 1827, the third or the Union Triad, Delta Phi has remained essentially an eastern fraternity, being conservative in expansion for the sake of effecting a closer unity and a more congenial group. The Nu chapter was founded at Lehigh in 1884. As the University expanded, the chapter prospered. However, always following the ideals of the national organ- ization, the local chapter has been careful to keep its membership small. The house was never completely closed during the war, although at times there were only one or two members to keep the chapter going. Recently, however, several veterans have returned and some men pledged so as to put Delta Phi on a firm foot- ing at Lehigh for future years. SMOKE RING. W. Browning shows his puff-stuff to W.

Kappa Alpha, founded in Union College in 1825, was the founder of the Greek Letter Fra- ternity system in the United States. The Society gradually grew in strength and prestige in the Northeast until, when eight chapters were established, it was voted to limit the organization to these eight chapters. In the very smallness of the Kappa Alpha Society there is a closeness of spirit of which every Kap is proud. Almost every undergraduate is closely acquainted with other Kaps in the other chapters, both in the United States and Canada. The Alpha Chapter of Pennsylvania was founded in 1894. A typical Kappa Alpha chapter, Lehigh welcomes back every year alumni from the class of ' 98 to the class of ' 45. At this writ- ing, several men have returned from the wars, and several more are expected before the year closes. By 1947 the Lodge will probably be filled with Kaps as it was a few years ago. For years, Kappa Alpha has been prominent in all Epitome organizations. This is only one of the many ways in which Lehigh Kaps made themselves felt on campus. It is only a short time till Kappa Alpha at Lehigh will return to its full strength of twenty brothers. WEBSTER SAYS — . A.

Sigma Chi Fraternity, one of the Miami Triad, was founded in June, 1855. In 1856, the ritual and constitution were revised and the name Sigma Chi was adopted. The Fraternity survived the Civil War, and, in 1886, the Crimson Halberd, a Lehigh Society, petitioned for membership. In November of that year, Alpha Rho chapter was installed here. Inactive from 1890 to 1893 when it was reinstated, it has had an active career since then. Sigma Chi remained fairly active throughout the war. There was always a good number of brothers and pledges to carry on. Recently their house on Broad Street was abandoned, and the old Delta Sigma Phi house was occupied just off campus. There Sigma Chi has been functioning actively for some months. BOUQUET of four roses is a favorite item on ihe agenda for T. Raeside, R. S whill, and L. Chidister. CLASSICISTS. H. Lawshe. H.

The fifth fraternity to open its doors on the Lehigh campus, Theta Delta Chi dates its existence back to 1847 when it became number twelve on the list of the national social fraternities in the order of founding. Justifiably, the Theta Delts are quite proud of the fact that theirs was the first fraternity to institute the use of pledge pins, adopt a distinctive fraternity flag, and publish a monthly fraternity magazine. Without a doubt, the view of Bethlehem obtained from the front porch of the Theta Delt house is by far the most impressive in the locality of the campus.

Theta Xi fraternity was founded at Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute on April 29, 1864, when one faction of the local fraternity Sigma Delta broke away from the organization with the intention of becoming a national fraternity. A long period of conservative growth followed, until, at present, there are thirty-five chapters. Chap- ters in this part of the country include those at Renssalaer, Yale, Stevens Institute, M. I. T., Cornell, Penn State, University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie, Lafayette, and Amherst. The Eta chapter, at Lehigh was established in 1903, when the members of an organization called the Lehigh Herman Club were intiated into Theta Xi. This chap- ter occupied a number of houses in Bethlehem since its inception, and, before the war, maintained a beautiful country home on the Bath Pike. At present, however, the chapter is without its own house, and is sharing the Lambda Chi Alpha house with the members of that fraternity. AUFGABE.

At this time the club was purtl) a social organization until some of its mem- bers threw their hats into the Lehigh political ring. From this point on Arcadia be- gan to grow in power until it was finally recognized as the student governing body. In 1922 it was seen that Arcadia ' s organization was at a very low ebb; so at i suggestion of Dean Charles McConn it was decided that the members of Arcadia should be leaders of the group they represented. This move greatly strengthened the prestige of Arcadia and once again it began to function as a well-organized body of leaders. Lehigh Arcadia has emerged weary from four years of war. During this time it rendered a never ending service to Lehigh and its students and promoted school activities in these lean years. After reconverting in peacetime, a bright and brilliant future is seen for this group which keeps a constant watch over all Lehigh men. page one hundred ten OLD TIMERS.

Therefore, on May 21, 1919, the presidents of the various fra- ternities met to form a council. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and at a second meeting on May 28, 1919, the constitution was presented to the council and adopted. Thus a new organization was founded at Lehigh whose principal duties were liasion between the student body and the fraternities and promotion of a closer re- lationship among the fraternities at Lehigh by means of interfraternity athletics and affairs. The Council approves the dates of house parties and sponsors the Interfrater- nity Ball, the outstanding social event of the school year. It encourages interfraternity competition in touch football, swimming, basketball, wrestling, and bowling and offers cups as awards for these athletic contests. The Council also establishes and en- forces rules for fraternity rushing during Freshman week. During the war, with most of the fraternities closed, the Council was forced to remain rather inactive. At this writing, however, all but four of the fraternities have reorganized and once again the Interfraternity Council has taken its strong position in Lehigh activities. p ge one hundred twelve TADL3 TALK Several of the re r resentatives discuss what they will do after ihe meeting.

To satisfy a need for organization among dormitory men the INTERDORMI- TORY COUNCIL was formed in 1938. This council, which was first organized by George Albrecht, ' 39, is composed of one member from each section of the four dor- mitories. Members are elected to represent their sections. Purpose of the Council as stated in the constitution is: to provide a higher tribunal in which dormitory mat- ters may be discussed, to carry on and develop more fully dormitory social and intra- mural functions, to work for a more cohesive and cooperative relationship among dormitory men, and to serve as a coordinating body between the dormitories and the University. High scholastic records and winners of interdorm athletic competition are awarded cups and trophies. In addition, the council has worked with other organiza- tions in the University in order to solve housing problems created by the war. Rules for governing dormitory freshmen are also established by the Council. With enrollment hitting an all time high, the dormitories will be called upon to do a difficult job in that space will have to be allocated with a minimum of waste. The Council has anticipated the increase and has made plans to keep dorm men hnppy until the new dormitories are built. p ge one hundred fifteen jne Bfwwn ana White The Brown and White, at Lehigh since 1 89-4, is an important outlet for undergrad- uate opinion and criticism.

Thus it was that the 1946 Epitome, although manned mostly by Seniors, received invalu- able aid from several underclassmen. This issue, done in Photo - offset Lithography by the Lehigh Printing Corporation of Bethlehem, Penna., has endeavored to become a record of that which transpired during the year 1946 at Lehigh University.

Like many of Lehigh ' s organizations, the band has suffered a great decrease in numbers. The once mighty band of one hundred and thirty was down to as few as thirty members during the war. At present, the membership is slowly rising, and it is hoped that the day is not far off when Lehigh ' s Band will regain its reputation as one of the largest and best college bands in the East. The Lehigh Band was founded thirty-eight years ago. It was never a really out- standing organization until Dr. T. Edgar Shields, faculty director, obtained instru- ments and music from the disbanded Bethlehem Steel Co. Band in 1926, and used these as a foundation for a greatly improved band. The Band plays at all the home football games and at many away games, besides furnishing marching music for the University ' s R. O. T.

CLEATS and FEATS The 1945 football squad of Lehigh University, aided by a few returning war veterans showed a marked improvement over its predecessors of the past two seasons. Coach Leo Prendergast, ably assisted by Eb Caraway, fie ' ded a fighting eleven throughout the season which never let down when the going really became tough. Practice got under way early in September with only twenty five men reporting for duty. Al Granese, a fleet-footed halfback, Jake Pearsall, an end converted from tackle, Jack Tirell, a center, and Dick Jones, another back, were the only 1944 let- termen on hand. The rest of the squad was composed mainly of war vets and a few high school hopefuls. The Engineers, using both the T formation and single wing back opened with Muhlenberg on Saturday, October 20th, in Taylor Stadium before 9,000 spectators. The Mules, playing their best game of their disastrous season, constantly held the powerful Lehigh attack throughout the afternoon. Finally, early in the third period, Chuck Hoffman pounded across the Scarlet and Gray ' s goal line for Lehigh ' s only score. Johnny Fabian ' s attempt for the extra point was wide and the score at the final gun read: Lehigh 6, Muhlenberg 0. The following Saturday found Lehigh playing host to the U of Connecticut and introducing the first Brown and White night game in history. Walt Trojanowski, high scorer for the entire nation, and Joe Fitzpatrick, brilliant tailback, led the vaunt- ed Nutmeggar attack. Each tallied twice. The Engineers fought valiantly but the Connecticut onslaught was a bit too much. The Brown and White eleven registered in the early minutes of the game when Bob Burslem, rangy Lehigh end, pounced upon Hunter ' s fumble of Kachel ' s boot on the Nutmeggar eight yard line. After two unsuccessful line smashes, Kachel circled wide around right f.nd for the Bt wii and White ' s only touchdown. Charley Hoffman ' s attempt for the point after touchdown was a little wide of the goal posts. On the following Saturday, November 3rd, a massive Rutgers team at New Brunswick proceeded to throw aerials all over the gridiron and move on to a 25-0 victory before a Homecoming crowd of 5500. Art Mann led the Scarlet scoring with two tallies from scrimmage and he passed to Andy Sivess and Dick Wackar for the other scores. The Engineers handicapped by very bad breaks and weak punting, went down fighting to a young Rutgers eleven. page one hundred twentv two With a record of one win against two losses, the Brown and White journeyed to New York to encounter NYU. This appeared to be another bad day for the Engi- neers and they were set back once again by a 19-0 score. Finally, on November 10th, Lehigh met .he Drexel Dragons in Philadelphia which resulted in the best played game of the entire Brown and White season The contest was a scoreless deadlock until the third quarter when Spence Wright was tackled in the end zone for a safety and a few minutes later Bull Smith crossed Le- high ' s goal line on a wide end sweep. With four minutes of playing time remaining in the fourth quarter, the Engineers really began to move. A fumble, two good kicks and six plays later, the score stood at 14-9 with Lehigh on the long end. This game proved conclusively that the Engineers possessed the will to win despite heavy odds. Lehigh ' s line also illustrated its ability by continually throwing Drexel back, time after time. In the climax performance of the season, the Engineers met an average Lafayette- team before 8000 Houseparty guests in Taylor Stadium. The Maroon tallied early in the first period on Beef Prime ' s plunge from the four yard line and Jim Eppler ' s placement followed. Lehigh came back strongly after that first counter and played the Marquis to a standstill but were unable to score. This ball game showed again that Lehigh could really get rough when it became necessary. The Lehigh team ' s real chance came in the closing seconds of the game when Tarbel nabbed Wright ' s breath- taking 55 yd. forward only to be spilled on Lafayette ' s 10 yd. line as the final gun sounded. All in all, Lehigh ' s 1945 football squad will go down as one of the scrappiest teams in the school ' s history. One of the main features of the ball club was the de- fensive ability of the entire Engineer eleven. The line and backfield held exception- ally well throughout the season, especially in the Lafayette game where they stood up against a powerful Maroon attack led by Charley Liocono and Danny Kovack. Lehigh has shown great promise and, with almost the. entire first team returning, the Brown and White should really go places in 1946. - LEO GIVES THE BOYS A LITTLE TALK page one hundred twenty-three BACK ROW: Cunningham, Molnar, Kramer, Nally, Chadwick, Wartman, Bonham, Emmerick, Grim (Asst.

Sfifiinq Sfifteuts It was a very difficult assignment for the 1945 summer baseball team to improve upon the spring team ' s record. The team had garnered the Middle Three crown and had lost only a handful of ballgames. Coach Eb Caraway lost approximately half of his team to the draft, vacations, and scholastic difficulties. Nevertheless, the Brown and White fielded a fighting aggregation and opened the season with an impressive win over the Pembroke A. C. by a 3-2 score and then they lost a heartbreaker to Princeton 8-7, after tieing the contest up with a four run splurge in the seventh frame, featured by Jake Pearsall ' s tremendous heme run into the right field stands. Lehigh retaliated a few days later with a 7-5 win over High Bridge and then a score- less deadlock with Palmerton. This game was highlighted by Swede Lindholm ' s bril- liant hurling, holding the opposition to three scattered blows. Next on the schedule was the power-laden Penn Hospital nine, who conquered the Engineers by an 8-5 margin. This was followed by a win over Holy Rosary and two succesive defeats by Swarthmore and the Bethlehem American Legion team. In the middle of August the Brown and White traveled to Swarthmore where Lindholm once more pitched a beautiful game, which ended in a 2-2 stalemate. This was a tense game throughout but darkness came before the game could be finished. Lehigh returned home to conquer the Legion team, in a return game, 4-0 and then lost to Drew and High Bridge. The following week the Engineer ' s tripped Pembroke 5-2 and then lost to a fast-steping St. James club 7-4. The last week of the campaign ended with a win over Palmerton and a loss to Drew LIniversity by a 3-1 score. The entire season was char- acterized by a hard fighting and spirited Lehigh team led by Bud Lindholm and Charley Hafner on the mound and Jake Pearsall and Jim Mearns at the bat. The 1946 spring schedule is still in progress but at present the Brown and White- has done very well for itself on the diamond. The Engineers are in the process page one hundied twenty-four of capturing the Middle Three title again. The season opened with a snappy conquest over Connecticut with Grant Custer limiting the Nutmeggars to four scattered hits. Lehigh then traveled to Princeton and lost a 7-4 contest to the Tigermen. Then came a 3-2 decision over Drexel and again Custer came through with a nice performance. The Brown and White next lost lost to Villanova 10-6 and came back to con- quer Delaware by a 5-3 margin. Then Muhlenberg unleashed a ten hit attack and defeated the Ebrnen by a 15-4 score. The Brown and White proceeded with a 5-4 win over Gettysburg and a few days later Colgate played headsup ball to take a 5-2 ball- game. Finally, Lehigh found her stride and battered Drexel by a 14-2 trouncing; Geza Molnar and Howie Kress led the onslaught with three bingles each. The Engineers then encountered N. Y. U. and once again ran into trouble losing by a 4-3 score. Lefty Silverstein, Violet star, hooked up with Bill Greenamoyer in a tight pitching duel. The season rolled on with a 6-4 loss to Muhlenberg and a 4-0 shutout win over Rutgers. Greenamoyer held the heavy Scarlet bats to only seven blows in this fray. On May 15, Lehigh traveled to Bucknell and performed flawlessly for fifteen score- less innings before succumbing to the Bisons 2-0. Then Greenamoyer again found the Rutgers to his liking and defeated them 4-3, permitting four scattered bingles. The climax game of the season came on May 25, when Lafayette met the Engineer nine in what proved the best contest of the entire year. Bill Greenamoyer met up with Bob Allard, the Maroon chucker and the game lasted seventeen frames before the issue- was decided in Lafayette ' s favor 8-4. Then the Brown and White journeyed to Swarthmore and eked out a 2-1 vctory, with Grant Custer giving up six hits. Up to this writing Lehigh had two more games to play with Lafayette, which would decide the Middle Three l aurels.

FROtJT ROW: Pagnotti, Bartlett, Niewenhous, MATMEN At Lehigh, wrestling has always been THh sport. With the invaluable coaching of Billy Sheridan Lehigh has always produced her share of champions and has always won her share of the honors in intercollegiate wrestling. Throughout the college- world, Lehigh has gained much fame as a top wrestling school. Throughout the war wrestling was the top sport in the university. An impres- sive showing was always made even against teams manned by the Army and Navy at different colleges encountered during the season. At all the home matches, at least, the whole student body, small though it may have been, turnd out to cheer the wrest lers on. This was true even at the lowest ebb of Lehigh ' s fortunes throughout the war. The 1945-1946 season was indicative of Lehigh ' s potentialities now that college BERT BARTLETT HAS HIS OPPONENT ALL TIED UP page one hundred twenty-six life is aproaching a mere stable existence. With a lot of material that is not in dan- ger of being drafted without warning, Billy Sheridan will be able to produce a team worthy of Lehigh ' s past performances. It was only last waiter that Lehigh made such a good showing against such wrestling threats as Cornell and Penn State. Cornell, for example, had the advantage of several returned service men who were standouts. Lehigh ' s wrestlers journeyed to Ithaca to fight a hard battle with the lead switching from side to side as the match progressed. Cornell finally won by four points, but they knew they had been through a battle. GEE HAZLEHURST TAKES HIS MAN DOWN AND, A LITTLE LATER. THROWS HIM. In February, Lehigh was host for the third consecutive year to the Eastern Inter- collegiate Wrestling Association. Competing teams included Army, Columbia, Cor- nell, Lehigh, Navy, Penn State, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Coast Guard Academy, Mer- chant Marine Academy, and Yale. Lehigh ' s Ted Niewenhaus brought honors to him- self and his Alma Mater by winning the championship title for the 165 pound class at this meet. Next season promises to be even better. Lehigh has lost only one match this last season, and next year it is her ambition to lose ng matches. It will only be a few sea- sons more until Lehigh is once again turning out the great championship teams like those of her past. page one hundred twenty-seven BACK ROW: Waldor, Schwartz, Prendergast (coach), Goeller (Mgr.), Wetherhold, Compton.

Of the 16 games played, Lehigh won three and lost the remaining thirteen for a season ' s average of 0.188. During the sixteen games played, our opponents accumulated a total of 991 points while we amassed some 731. However, no one was too concerned over this poor show- ing. True, defeat piled upon defeat did bring some degree of dismay to even the most dyed-in-the-wool fans, but they un- derstood. Without the services of a full time basketball coach, Lehigh was directed by Leo Prendergast. Leo brought the boys around and they turned in a good job against some mighty stiff oposition. It was a bitter pill to swallow when our old rival Lafayette beat us by very decisive scores on two occasions. But there is some con- solation in the fact that Lafayette was good enough later to go on and win the regional championship from Muhlenberg.
