The Senior Ball.
.
Many larger dances have been given in the Carnegie I story,but never a more enjoyable one thati the senior ball on Friday, April 25. Never have the decorations been so c
ing, or the dancers so gay. The ball room was gorgeous with streamers of laurel, ded with myriad lights, which were enclosed in giant 1 Music floated out from a great bank of palms at one end room, and many a fair form graced the polished floor. The lecture room was a veritable fairy garden-wit archways and bowers of peach blossoms, the many colored twinkling from the green foliage, the sparkling: fountain . the little tables set among the palms. The dance cards were both tasteful and unique, beinj venir card cases of brown alleppo calf and lined with silk. A delicious supper was perfectly served at one o' en the dancing was resumed, the music was not allov Atop until long after day-brfeak,and it was with reluctance tt revellers went homeward, 1

second half and was carrying the ball out on the field when it slipped from his stick and became the centre of a scrimmage. As the pellet was rolling in the direction of the net, Prechtel had little difficulty in shoving it in for a score. From the very start Stevens was seen to have the best of it. Drinkwater received the ball soon after the whistle blew, carried it to Lehigh's goal and shot for point number one. Lehigh kept the play near the Stevens goal for sometime but was unable to score, and the ball returned to become the toy of the Stevens attack. Drinkwater soon added two more counts. Wiley's short, swift shots proved too much for Carlock, and each one helped pad the score. Many of the goals were the result of three-man plays, which the Lehigh defense was unable to break up-Roberts and Starzenski particularly helping in this work. Sturken continued his good work at goal and allowed but one shot-by Duncan-to get thru. The half ended, 9-1. Play in the second half was, as usual, more even. Stevens has a habit- and a good one it is too-of getting so far ahead at the start that there's no hope of catching' up. In this half, time was taken out while Van Beuren was treated for a bad cut on the face, after which he continued in the game. Goals for Stevens were made by Armstrong and Wiley; for Lehigh by Prechtel; and the game ended 12-2 in Stevens' favor. One thing that was noticed as being different from the Harvard game was the large number of scrimmages. Every few minutes the ball would roll on the ground and be the centre of interest for a dozen eager men, each bent on at least getting a whack at it. This made the game as a whole look, perhaps, a little less clean cut. However, the large crowd in the stands was not critical on such points so long as Stevens was so sure a winner. The day was perfect, and our lady friends were out en masse. Even if the cheering did suffer slightly in volume because of the fellows being more scattered, there was no decrease in enthusiasm.

certain, Not for a number of years has Stevens had such a fast and efficient attack as that playing in the Harvard and Lehigh games of this year. I t was the defense that was considered , weak, and it was thought that if the defense was able to hold HopMns to a low score, the attack would easily win the victory for us. But this was not the case in the game last Saturday. The ball seldom got within fifteen yards of the Hopkins goal and almost the entire game was played in our territory. But Hopkins had to fight stubbornly for every one of the tallies. It was not until five minutes of play that Frank slipped past the Stevens defense and shot the first goal. Breyer, Gutman, and Wegefarth followed, running the score up to 5 to 0 by the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half the 'varsity took a decided brace, and had it not been for the exellent work of Walter Blanck at goal the Stevens attack would have scored. Williams, Chesney, Schmeisser and Captain Tough put up a strenuous game on the defense, while Wegefarth and Ereyer played as they never played before on the attack. The work of Sturken, at goal, was of a high order, as many shots of the Hopkins attack were turned harmlessly aside, but he was not up to usual form.

all the afternoon, the field was slippery and covered with puddles of water, so that any accurate team work was impossible. The Stevens attack showed up somewhat better than in' the Hopkins game, getting past the opposing defense numbers of times only to lose the score each time by slipping at the critical moment. The Mt. Washington attack put up a hard, fast game, and by brilliant passing scored three goals in the first half. Luck was always with the Baltimoreans, for they scored on the most reckless shots and chose their time of slipping when out in the middle of the field. I n the second half both teams seemed to have become better acquainted with the slippery field, and the play was improved. Starzenski, Wiley and Drinkwater got in for good shots, but Drinkwater alone managed to get the ball past the goal-keeper.. The Mt.

Baseball. Since the last issue of THESTUTE;the 'varsity team has put up a good quality of ball. The C. C. N. Y. and St. John's contests were both marked by fast fielding and scientific batting. It is team work that wins games, and in this feature a steady improvement has been noticed. Hallsted's work behind the bat is worthy of special comment. The batting averages including Saturday's game, are as follows : Steinmetz (5) .500, Hearsey (2) .500, Henes ( 6 ) .450, Perkins (4) .400, Roberson (6) .368, Stewart (5) .316, Sturgis (4) .300, Kelsey (6) .273, Utz (4) .250, Ridgway (6) .235, Little ( 6 ) .ZOO, Hallsted (3) ,182, Meigs (6) .071, Langtry (1) .000.

The athletes from the City College of New York were forced to take another defeat at tfae hands of Stevens on Wednesday, April 24, when the baseball team representing that institution was beaten by a score of 8 to 3 . After having humbled Trinity, of Hartford, the visitors considered Stevens an easy proposition, but the pitching of Utz and the fast fielding of the home team proved too much for them. Stewart's playing was undoubtedly the feature of the game. The Stevens shortstop twice made the circuit of the bases on clean drives. And that wasn't all, either; for he made some very clever stops, accepting seven chances in all without an error. Utz, who occupied the pitcher's box, tho somewhat erratic, twirled a very creditable game. Hallsted was at the receiving end, and considering that it was his first game, made a good showing. The team, as a whole, played well. Tweedy opened up with a hot one to short, but expired at first. Drady lifted one to Utz, and Corts fanned the air. Meigs sent a pop-fly to short, but Stewart, who imagined he was Danny" Hoffmann at American league Park, looking for a suit of clothes, swatted a hot grounder along the third base line to the dressing shanty for the circuit. Kelsey and Ridgway died at first. Utz appeared to lose control in the second ; for Sippel waited and walked, while Wagner hit to center for a corner. Carr fanned, but Dub hit past Kelsey, bringing in two men. McDonald fanned, while Dub was tagged out in an attempt t o pilfer second. Stevens, not to be outdone, went in to bat with a will. Henes lifted one so high that the catcher lost sight'of it. When the ball fell in front of the plate, Henes was on second. Little was hit by a pitched ball. Roberson struck out, but Hallsted hit a stinger the shortstop, who threw wild to third, and the bases were r 1 3 k . Utz, whg has gained quite a reputation as a pinch hitter,

poked a neat single to right, allowing two men to cross the rubber. Meigs then lifted one to right, but Hallsted was nipped at the plate. C. C. N. Y. tied the score in the third. Woolf received a pass. Tweedy bunted, and was safe on a bad throw by Hallsted. Drady then placed a single in center, but Corts popped a fly to Utz. Sippel soaked one to Utz, but Woolf died at the plate. Hallsted, being over-anxious to double up Sippel at first, threw low to Roberson, who fumbled, allowing Tweedy to score. Wagner hit the air. Neither team scored again until the sixth, when Stewart, who wanted to show how easy it was to round the corners, welted a hot liner to the Club House for four bags. Kelsey hit safely and Ridgway sacrificed. Henes then hit a grouuder to short, but Kelsey was safe at third on an error, and the bases were full. Roberson could not relieve the situation, but flied to center, Little proved to be there with the hickory; for he poked one to left, allowing two men to trot home. z With the aid of some sharp fielding by Stewart, ~ t held down the New York team for the balance of the game, but Stevens mixed things up a little in the eighth, when Henes flied to left, and Roberson was safe on an error. Little hit safely, while Steinmetz, who had relieved Hallsted owing to an injured thumb, got in the path of a pitched ball and filled the bags. Emergency hitter Utz then chose the first ball pitched and poked it to center field, at which two men (entered homeward. Meigs was out on a pop fly and Stewart died at first. C. C. N.

Wickham was out, but Van Zandt ored on the play. Ogden died at first. Pratt scored two more in the fourth. Van Zandt swatted
tens laced out a clean single. Klein then bunted to Kelsey, wh.0 made another fierce heave to Roberson, allowing Martens to cross the plate. T h e play was a duplicate of the last inning, when Klein was caught at third. Olcott popped to Ridgway, Stevens woke up in this inning and with the aid of Martens broke away from the zero row. Roberson hiked an easy one to center, Hallsted perished at first, but Utz singled to left. Martens' balloon ascension then began when he passed Sturgis, Meigs and Little, forcing in Utz. Kelsey waited too long and was called out. r Pratt handed two more to Stevens in the sixth. Ridgway ambled and stole second. Henes also received a free pass and worked a double steal with Ridgway. Roberson sent a pop-fly to Olcott, but Hallsted waited and walked. Utz then sent a grounder to Ogden and Ridgway was forced out at the plate. When Sturgis walked and forced Henes, Cole replaced Martens, who refused to submit to the umpire's decisions. When Meigs walked, forcing in Utz, the excitement of the Stevens rooters was intense, but Little ended the farce by striking out. Stevens scored again in the seventh. ~ e l s e vfanned. but Ridgway and Henes singled. Roberson could not connect, but Hallsted poked one to center, scoring Ridgway, who injured his oulder so badly in sliding for the plate that he withdrew from e game. Utz failed to make good and flied out. Stevens succeeded in tying' the score in the eighth. Sturgis eived a gift, but Perkins let the good ones pass, and Little was an easy out. Kelsey, like " ~ o ~ e rBresnahan, " obliged the rooter, on a request of please hit the ball, " and banged the horsehide to center for two stations, scoring Sturgis. Meigs was easy Pratt, not to be outdone, broke the ice in the ninth. Ogden t a sizzler to l i t t l e , who misjudged its position, allowing
Ogden to occupy third. Brunn then flied to Little and Ogden scored on the throw in. Sullivan and Cole were easy outs. The finish was the most hair-raising ever seen at the Cricket Grounds. The score was now 6-5 against Stevens, and Henes went to bat with determination in his eye, but his long hit to left was nabbed. Roberson sent the rooters crazy by stinging one to center but was forced at second by Hallsted. When Utz waited and walked and Sturgis dropped a Texas Leaguer, filling the bags, pandemonium reigned. With two down Perkins proved himself a hero by lacing out a clean single, scoring Hallsted. Little then sent a hot one to Klein, who heaved the ball over Ogden's head, and the game was over.

After having given Manhattan a hard struggle to win y a margin of one run, the s t . *olin3s College team traveled to Hoboken on Wednesday, May 1, with the idea of piling up runs like picking cherries in June. Sturgis, who was sent in against them, showed remarkable form in striking out eleven men and not allowing a base on balls. Dooley opened up with a clean single. Reddy whacked a line drive to Kelsey, who made a remarkable catch and doubled u p Dooley at first. Ebers hit nothing but the air. Hearsey opened with a scratch hit and reached second on a passed ball. Stewart sent a hot one to Ebers, who fumbled. Hearsey then crossed the disk on a neat sacrifice by Kelsey. Ridgway was out and Roberson hit the atmosphere. St. Johns tied the score in the fourth. Reddy was safe on an error by Roberson.

Dooley lifted one to right, but Reddy pushed one to the middle garden and O'Kane cantered home. Ebers and M~I,aughlin both singled to left, scoring Reddy, and Ebers tallied when Cass was out at first. Haughney fanned. After this inning Sturgis settled down and did not allow another tally. Stevens forged ahead again in the same inning. Roberson walloped one for two corners, Henes ambled and ,Sturgis sacrificed. Little mixed things up a bit by poking a hot one to O'Kane, who lost his head and threw to the coacher on the first base line, thus scoring Roberson and Henes. Hallsted was ou and Perkins fanned. The seventh and eighth were heartbre for St. John's, Stevens scoring thrice in each. Stewart, singling to center, sprained his ankle so badly in pilfering se that he had to retire.

As a ~reliminary try-out for the faculty-senior' baseball game, to be played in commencement week, teams representing the two sections of the senior class met on the diamond on Friday, April 26. The game was the outcome of a challenge issued by the B division and after a close and hard-fought contest resulted in defeat for t h e challengers by a score of 5-4. The A players took the lead at the outset, finding McGall's delivery for a tally in the opening inning. The score was tied in the second inning, but the A's soon forged ah'ead again. B section rallied in the sixth inning and tied the score, but errors allowed the first division men to score again in the seventh and take the game. The score by innings : 1907 A 1 t) 1 0 2 1907 B 0 1 0 0 0 Batteries-Hagen and Hoe ; McGall and Matzen.

Football Prospects. As vacation time draws near, many students will probably ponder as to the prospects of football at Stevens next fall. It is a littleearly to make any predictions, or even guess at what the team will or will not do. However, on looking over the material on hand, it is safe to say that we should turn out an excellent team - e v e n faster than last year's eleven. Of last season's eleven, we lose only two men, Capt. Cowenhoven and Norris. While their loss will be felt, Coach Saunders seems confident of filling the gap with good material. Keen competition will be in order at the scrub games for a man to hold or gain a place on the 'varsity. We expect a goodly number of new football men to enter with the class of 1911. We also expect those now in the Institute, who have not come out, to do so. Of last year's line men we still have Thayer, Henes, Tyson, Fonda and Voigtlander. The back field men who will again be seen trying for their old positions are Roberts, Knobloch, Van Syckle, Hendricks, Hearsey and Skinner. Because these men have won their letter, does not mean that they are assured a POsition on the team. All who come out will be given a fair trial by Coach Saunders. Again we must look for a strong scrub. Without it we can hope for no honors on the gridiron, and all who have ever played the game should consider it their duty to Stevens to be on hand early next fall. The management has a heavy schedule, two dates only being open. By the time the next STUTEis issued, these dates will be probably be closed, and the schedule will be given out. EDWARD KNOBI. Manager.

Editorial. At this period each year it becomes the duty and privilege of the editors of THE STUTEto chose four men from the junior class as its successors. After careful deliberation, announcement is hereby made of the selection of three of next year's V O I . IV's. board, as follows: Ralph S. Lane, Editor-in-Chief; Editors. Alfred E. Skinner, Business Manager; and Carl A. Sturken, Associate Editor. (The name of the fourth man will be announced in a subsequent issue). Full confidence is had in the ability of these men to shoulder the responsibilty of publishing Vol. IV. The overwhelming defeat of the lacrosse team by Johns Hopkins was, to say the least, very disappointing. Judging from the scores made by each team against Lehigh, * ~acrosse Stevens had a fairly even chance of winning the Comment. game, even tho it was to be played on the opponent's grounds. Such a crushing defeat was totally unexpected. From all accounts, the team was clearly outplayed. The strength and endurance of the Baltimore men, together with a clever combination attack-defense play proved too much for the visitors. We can not give credence to the report that the Hopkins team during the week proceeding the game had received the services of Dr. Maddern as coach. I t is said that the league president, after acting as referee in the Stevens-Harvard game, instructed the Johns Hopkins men as to our strong and weak points, so that the latter team was fully prepared to play our game. Such an action would have been highly discreditable, and we are unwilling to believe that Dr. Maddern this respect.

As for the league championship, we are undoubtedly out of the race, since the chance is very slim that Swarthmore, after losing- to Lehigh, will in turn defeat Hopkins. Should the unexpected happen, however, we can establish a tie withHopkins by defeating Swarthmore. I n any event, it is to be hoped that the team will pull itself together and perform creditably in the remaining games. "
. A New Chapter House.
'
The Delta Tau Delta fraternity on Tuesday, April 30, moved into the new chapter house, which has been in the course of construction since July, 1906. T h e building funds were raised among the alumni members of the chapter, and part of the land was donated by E. A. Stevens, Jr., a member of the chapter. The plans were drawn up by Ludlow and Valentine, of which firm the former is a Stevens graduate, class of '92, and also a member of the chapter. The house is situated at the northeast corner of the new campus, facing on the field, and is one of the chapter houses to be built on the land set apart by the Institute for that purpose. Harvard brick, with trimmings of limestone and gray brick, are used in the construction. Copper is also extensively made use of, and the roof is of slate of a greenish hue. The first floor contains a reception hall, a billiard room, a library, and a cloak room with accomn~odationsfor washing. The general style is mission, with the wood-work of dark-colored Flemish oak. T h e library has book-cases with leaded glass doors, built around the walls, and a large open fire-place, the general color scheme being green. T h e billiard room has an oak panneled wainscoating, a fire-place, and is finished in red. A platform and window seat extend accross one end of the room, so that the billiard game can be easily observed. The lighting fixtures are of the mission type, the library being illuminated by two large chandeliers. The dining room is in the basement, but as the house is on somewhat of a slope, the windows of this room overlook the campus. There is also a brick fire-place in this room, and a plate rack around the walls. T h e kitchen is on the opposite side of the basement, where is also located the furnace for the heating system.' On the second floor there are four double rooms, the woodwork and walls being finished in a mission green. T h e lavatory contains two shower baths, and just off the hall is a linen closet, fitted with shelves and drawers. T h e electric fixtures on this floor are of brass, and the hall is finished in oak of thesame color as that on the floor below. T h e third floor contains four single rooms, the chapter room, . and a lavatory. T h e floors thruout are of hard wood, and covered with oriental rugs. Hot water is used for the heating and electricity for the lighting.

Musical Clubs. The third annual Glen Ridge concert was given by the Musical Clubs on Friday evening, May 3 . Despite the memories of past good times, and the special appeal made for a large attendance this year, quite a number of the men failed to appear. However, those who did come have no cause for regret. The hall has good acoustic properties, which makes it a pleasure to either play or sing in it ; the audience was large and enthusiastic; and the dancing after the program was appreciated. The clubs gave the usual numbers. The last concert of the-season will be given in the auditorium on Tuesday, June 11, as announced in the Commencement' program. This will, as last year, be an invitation affair for the upper-classmen, and will be followed by a dance in the Carnegie Laboratory. The financial report of the Association for the present year as will be published in the first issue of Vol. IV of THESTUTE, required by the constitution.
Library Notes. The Periodical Reference Library has been increased by nearly one hundred and seventy volumes. To make the subject matter of the bound sets available, the Library has various indexes. Three parts of the "International Catalogue of literature," Mechanics, Physics, and Chemistry, are received regularly. Engineering and technical literature is indexed in the "Repertorium der Technischen Literatur" and "The Engineering Index." The "Repertorium" is complete from 1823 to 1905. "The Engineering Index" covers the years 1884 to 1906, and, as the first volume is now out of print and almost unattainable, the Library is very fortunate in having two copies. Electrical literature is indexed in "Fortschritte der Elektrotechnik", which is complete from 1890 to date. A digest of important articles in current electrical magazines is given in each issue of the "Electrical World." Another popular and useful index is the "Catalogue of Valuable Papers Contained in the Scientific American Supplement, 1876-1905," and the Library has these articles bound from Volume I. to date. I t should be explained that the gift of "Electrical Handbooks," noted in the last issue of THESTUTE, came only indirectly thru Prof. Ganz. The donor is Mr. John W. Lieb, Jr. '80. Mr. Lieb has also presented to the Library the "Transactions of the International Electrical Congress, St. Louis, 1904," in three volumes. E. M. HAWKINS, Librarian.

The annual track and field day will be held on Friday afternoon, May 10, at the Cricket Grounds. The meets in the past few years have been most successful, and this year the prospects are very bright, as much spirited enthusiasm has already developed. Last year some exciting races were witnessed and the inten rivalry between the classes was responsible for the competiti that took place. The two upper classes were so evenly match that the final point trophy winner was in doubt until the en the last race deciding the question. The relay race .last year was the best seen here in m years, and the race this year is sure to be as interesting, as team that won last year is still intact.

The Stevens Preparatory School baseball nine was again victorious, defeating the team of Stuyvesant High School of New York, by the score of 13 to 5 in a six inning game. The game was full of hits, mixed in with many errors, especially by the New York team, which went to pieces after the second inning. In the first inning, the visitors started off well and a few hits, coupled with an error by Herby netted three runs. The preps evened up matters in their half getting three runs, due mainly to the errors of the visitors' shortstop. In the second inning two more runs were obtained by the New York lads by good batting, they appearing to be able to hit Mann, the Stevens pitcher, at will. Stevens at this point forged to the front with four runs, never to be headed. Schultz now went in to pitch for Stevens, and the New York lads did not score another run.
