Freshmen Win Third Game. In what was confidently expected would be the last of the inter-class lacrosse games, the freshmen turned the tables on the sophomores and won to the tune of 3 to 2. The game thruout was well played, and the result was in doubt until the timekeepers' whistle announced the end of the game. The defense of both teams put up a good game, but the freshman attack was better than that of 1909, and that in a great measure accounts for the victory. The feature of the game was the playing of Hamilton, who made all three of 1910's goals.

T h e game with Columbia scheduled for April 13, which was cancelled on account of rain, was played at the Cricket Grounds on the afternoon of May 8. There was a large attendance for a mid-week game, and the team was cheered on to a victory never in doubt. The whistle blew shortly after four, and but a very few minutes had passed before Roberts caged the ball. Columbia next I dropped the rubber in Starzi's" stick, but wouldn't let him get away with it ; Drinkwater took the pass and made count number two. Both sides had chances to score, but the net seemed hard to locate. Stevens fourfd it twice- more, however, and the half ended with the score 4-0. The second half started briskly, and it was not long before Wiley hit the Columbia goal-keeper ; the ball rolled between the bars and caused no end of trouble. T h e point didn't count, but we secured another goal umpire. "Starzi" then brought our score up to five, and Columbia made their only tally. Erlenkotter received a bad cut over the eye, but took "Doc's" treatment without stopping the game. Armstrong and Drinkwater made the final goals and the game ended : Stevens 7, Columbia 1.

The most exciting lacrosse seen at Stevens in many a day was that of the Swarthmore game on May 15. Not in thememory of the present generation of students has there been such cheering or the display of so much genuine enthusiasm. When Drinkwater rolled the ball into Swarthmore's net, tieing the score, the grandstand simply went wild. I t was a fast game from the start, but the weight of the men from Pennsylvania told in almost every play. Watching the Stevens team, one would see a flash, a crash, and a rebound; but the visitors' 220-pound defense remained unmoved.

The lacrosse team suffered defeat at the hands of Cornell on Saturday in what proved to be the roughest game seen this year at the Cricket Grounds. At the start of the contest, the ball sauntered from one end of the field to the other without either side being able to go thru the opposing defense. Finally, after ten minutes of play, Lucker caged the ball for Cornell. Stevens then took a brace and for the next fifteen minutes kept the ball in Cornell's territory. After some clever passing, Roberts shot a goal. The tie was soon broken, however, for Odenhal scored for Cornell within the next few minutes. Wiley then got busy and not to be outdone, made two goals in less than that number of minutes. The half ended with the score : Stevens 3, Cornell 2.

utes, but Cornell's attack could pot get thru the home team's weakened defense, and the half ended with the score a tie, each team having three goals to its credit. Last year's game with Cornell ended in a tie, so that the arrangement had been made this year that, should the score be even at the end of the second half, an additional period of fifteen minutes should be played. After ten minutesJ teams appeared on the field, and the game was very outset of this half, Main shot a goal for Cornell. From then until the end of the game, the ball hovered around Cornell's goal, but the Stevens attack was unable to score. The game ended: Cornell 4, Stevens 3. The line-up : STEVBNS. CORNELL.

The first of the inter-class lacrosse games took place at the Cricket Grounds on Tuesday, May 7, and resulted in a victory for the sophomores. During the first half the playing was about even, and when time was called, each team had four goals to its credit. The second half proved disastrous to the freshmen ; for their defense went to pieces and their attack could not pierce the 1909

Stevens evened up matters in the third when Steinmetz pushed agrounder over second and stole the middle cushion. Perkins fanned, but Utz singled to right and pilfered second. Meigs was easy, but Little pushed one to Bason that was too hot to handle, allowing Steinmetz and Utz to cross the rubber. Kelsey flied to Bason. In the fourth Uptegraff placed a neat single to left. Galbraith laid down a neat bunt, but Utz threw wild to Roberson. Bason flied to Kelsey, but Sterner sent one to left, scoring Uptigraff2 Little returned the ball to Steinmetz, who threw wild to Meigs in an attempt to catch Sterner, allowing Galbraith to score. This was the beginning of the ascension ; for Utz passed McMurtrie and Mackall in succession. Kirk sent one to right, which should have been an out, but Perkins displayed poor judgment when the ball dropped at his feet. Sterner and McMurtrie scored. Mackall then stole home on the throw to second to catch Kirk, , Utz succeeding in fanning Barker. Sturgis went in the box in the fifth and kept the hits scattered until the eighth, when Lehigh scored two on two passes and a couple of hits. Stevens also scored two in the eighth on three hits and an error, after two were down. The line-up :

The umpire refused to send the men back to the bases, claiming that Badgley was in his box at the time of the play. Badgley then flied to Henes. Potter lined out a hot one to Henes, who made a remarkable stop, retiring the side. I n the second Roberson flied to Gildersleeve. Steinmetz got in the path of a pitched ball, stole second and third, while Utz fanned. Hearsey could not relieve matters but sent a little fly to Potter. In Trinity's half Connors poked one to center and stole second, while Gildersleeve struck out. Meyers was easy, but Cook pushed a clean single to left on which Conners scored. Rich was pie for Sturgis and Roberson. Sturgis succeeding in scattering Trinity's remaining hits, and the home team did not score again. On the other hand Stevens could not hit Cook. I n the seventh, after Perkins was safe on a low throw by Xanders, Henes failed to connect and Roberson popped to Xanden. Steinmetz then singled to center, scoring Perkins, who had pilfered second. Utz sent one to Xanders, but Badgley dropped the ball. Hearsey again failed as a pinch hitter and struck out. Stevens started a rally in the ninth, Perkins lacing a single to right, but Henes, in an endeavor to lose the ball, fanned. Roberson was easy, and when Steinmetz hit nothing but air, the game was over. The line-up : TRINITY. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

On Tuesday, May 14, Stevens was defeated by the Eastern College A . A. at the Cricket Grounds by the scoreof 9-7. Thegame thruout was close but rather loosely played. There was no scaring done until the second inning when Finnegan forced in two runs by hitting Utz and passing four men. Then Toerner went into the box and fanned the next two men.

T H E STUTE

E. C. A. A. scored one run in the third, but there was no further scoring until the fifth, when Henes scored for Stevens, getting a gift to first, stealing second and conling home on a single by Utz. At this point Stevens went to pieces and played very poorly, while E. C. A. A. took advantage of errors and poor judgment by scoring two runs in the sixth. Then came a deluge of poor playing and a bunch of runs in the next inning. Higgins received a ppss and Jung flied to Kelsey, Higgins scoring on Hearsey's muff of Denton's long- fly. Canning was safe on a fielder's choice and Kelsey caught Denton between home and third when Hendrickson bunted, but the runner got by Steinmetz and scored. Then Walsh singled and brought in two more runs. Stevens took a hand at scoring in this inning, when Henes was passed to first and stole his way around the circuit. Roberson also got a pass, stole second and scored on Utz's single. Stevens scored twice in the eighth, when Sturgis and Kelsey were passed to first and advanced on a passed ball, coming home on Henes' hit to short. The Eastern College team, however, broke the tie in the next inni&. Walsh was passed and Cornell was hit. Walsh stole third and Cornell second and both came home on Toerner's single. Stevens could do nothing in the last turn at bat. The line-up : STEVRNS. EASTERN COWEGE A. A. Hearsey, 1.f. Kelsey, 3 b. Stewtirt, S.S. Henes, 2 b. Roberson, I b . Utz, c.f. Steinuietz, c .

Editorial. Announcen~entis hereby made of the election of Charles C. Phelps '08 as the fourth member of the editorial board of THE STUTE for next year. I n speaking to the graduating class on Wednesday of last week, Professor Halliday urged the men to take an interest in one of the various Stevens clubs. Such an action cannot be recommended too strongly. There is nothing which will Alumni prove more'effective in maintaining and stimulating Clubs. the interest of an alumnus in his Alma Mater than membership in an alumni club. Such organizations of Stevens men are now located in many of the large cities, and convienently situated graduates should lose no time in affiliating themselves with one of the clubs. The action of some students in attempting to turn the annual farewell visit of the graduating class to the various members of the faculty into a "rough-house" was very properly stopped by wiser heads. Since the inception of this custom Farewell several years ago, the tendency has been to make it Day. more and more informal, so that it has become less impressive than heretofore. Nevertheless, this is no excuse for the actions of some men-thoughtless actions, we hope-which threatened for a time to put a stop to the proceedings altogether and bring down a stigma upon those in charge of the farewell ceremonies. All the circun~stancesof the matter should be considered before action is taken by the faculty in putting a ban on the annual custom.

THE STUTE

The next and last issue of THESTUTO will take the form of a commencement number. I t will contain pictures Commence- of the teams and write-ups of the various college ment Issue. activities, etc. I t will be double the usual size, and altogether a very attractive and interesting number. Orders for extra copies should be left with the business manager.

T H E STUTE

Sophomore Inspection Trip,

Last Saturday twenty-five sophomores visited the blast furnace plant at Wharton, N. J . , under the guidance of Prof. Pond, in order to see in operation processes about which the class has studied the major part of the present term. The inspection was very thoro, occupying about three hours and extending from the charging of the ore into the furnaces to the loading of freight cars with the finished product of pig iron. Of especial interest were the method of handling waste slag and the enormous blowing engines required to supply the blast; The men who took the trip also had the opportunity of seeing a "sick" furnace-one which had chilled, and in which the metal had clogged up the tuyeres, tap hole, and cinder notch to such in extent that crowbars and the heat of an electric arc were necessary to cut away the cold metal. If the weather is pleasant, another party will take the trip to-morrow. The first division made the inspection May 11.

The new room of the Association is now practically furnished and keys have been distributed to the members. The soft floor covering, wall decorations, and comfortable chairs give a home atmosphere, which is fast making it a popular place in which to spend spare moments. Committees for the year 1907-8 have been appointed as follows: Religious Work-Ware '10 (chairman), Farr '08, Cobb '09, Upson '10, Zeek '10. Membership-Lawrence '10 (chairman), Hillas '08, Carter '09, Nyland '09, Voorhees '10. Room Committee-Whitehead '08 (chairman), Ward '08, Badeau '09. A number of the fellows are going to the Student Conference at Northfield in June ; this is an opportunity to get ten days of the finest kind of vacation at nominal expense. Ware '10 has charge of the delegation and any information may be obtained from him. The membership committee request:; that any menparticularly seniors-who are giving up their Hoboken rooms, should leave all information concerning same for the benefit of freshmen who will enter next fall. Communications relative to this matter should be left on the rack addressed to Lawrence '10. -

Farewell D&. Wednesday of last week was "Farewell Day1' for the graduating class, and the morning was spent in visits to the various professors with whom formal expressions of farewell were exchanged. The last visit was made to Dr. Stillman's home, where refreshments were served.

THE STUTB

Musical Clubs.

The musical clubs association held its last business, meeting for the season in Prof. Denton's room on Monday, May 13. The manager read a report of finances to date, and after some discussion, it was decided that the money be spent as usual in purchasing souvenirs for members. The amount to be so used will be determined after providing for the expense of the invitation concert on June 11 and the twenty-five dollars which must be set aside for financing the clubs in the fall. Election of officers for the coming season resulted as follows: President, Condit '08 ; Manager, Utz '08 ; Assistant Manager, Moss '09 ; Secretary, Broas '10. Orchestra : Leader, Stewart '08 ; President, Robb '08. Mandolin Club : Leader, Condit '08 ; President, Leisenring '08. Glee Club : Leader, Beckwith '09; President, Halm '08. The personnel of the quartet will remain unchanged for another year.

The Stevens quartet appeared before the Men's Club of the Central Presbyterian Church, Orange, N. J., May 16. Others who took part in the program were a 'cello soloist and a reader. At the conclusion of the entertainment, the quartet was received at the home of one of the members of the club.

The New Class Constitution.

Both of the lower classes have taken action on the new class constitution, published in a previous issue of THESTUTE. The freshmen adopted it without any changes, and the sophomores accepted it after altering that part controlling elections. The sophomores favored the Massachusetts Institute of Technology -method of election-the method now adopted by the Athletic Association-and amendments were made to that effect.

Library Notes. Statistics kept for the firstfour months of the year show a decided gain in the number of students who use the reading room. The number of books taken for home use also shows an appreciable increase. The total number of books and useful pan~phletsadded to the library from January 1 to May 1 was 238. These additions came thru gifts, purchase, and the binding of back volumes of

scopic Objects, 1905. Tyndall-Lectures on Light, 1872-73. Tyndall-Lessons in Electricity, 1875-76. Michael-Studies in Plant and Organic Chemistry, 1907. Nernst-Theoretical Chemistry, 1904.

rep school puts u p . In a sea of yellow mud, at Ontario Field, the lacrosse team the freshman class of C. C. N. Y. defeated the Prep team by e score of three goal3 to none. Fast play was impossible wing to the conditions, and it should not be looked upon as a ecisive defeat.

On Friday, May 17, the Prep baseball team went on a little

borne by Montclair. We had a great time. The team that Montclair turned out this year was the one of the four schools in the league that came nearest to beating us in the first game, and so we went with uncertainty in our hearts. Just before the game was, called, about half the Prep showed up on the scene to see We started right off with a run in the first inning and followed up our lead all the way thru. I t was a fine game,.and in spite of the one-sided score, proved very exciting. The ninth inning found the score 7-0, with Stevens at the big end. W. A. BOYD.

noted that Stevens Preps have won every game this season, making nine altogether, and have beaten some fast school nines. If the Preps win Friday's game with Newark High School, a t Newark, the baseball championship will come to Hobokehand it is a long time since Stevens had the honor. The league standing is as follows :
