Klaer, Christopher, Wright, Wilstenhalmer. During ourrushing season we were fortunate enough to have Bro. "Dick" Little out atone of our smokers and the chapter remembers him very gratefully forhis entertaining talk on the situation in Mauchuria.We regret that it has been necessary for the following brothers to withdrawfrom the chapter: Joel Henry Hildebrand, '03C, to pursue his studiesfor his doctor's degree; Charles Anthony McCarey, ex-'o6C, to enterbusiness; John Henry York, ex-'Q6C to accept an appointment as one of thecivil engineers on the Panama canal.Pennsylvania Zeta will give a house party again this year following theone of last year which was such a success. It will extend from the fourthto the seventh of January and the special feature will be the "TwentiethAnnual Dance" given by the chapter on the fifth of January.Bro. Takaki, who had been attracting the attention of the coaches by hisplaying of end on the scrub, broke his left leg in scrimmage, but is now entirelyrecovered. Although this is Takaki's first year at football he givespromise of being more than the ordinary player.Bro. Hawley has played a very creditable game as half-back on the scruband Bro. Rodgers as left-end on the freshmen team has been a stumblingblock to all teams that have tried his end.Bro. Dieterle, captain of the gymnasium team, was elected chairman ofthe intercollegiate gymnasium committee.This year the University of Pennsylvania has enrolled the largest numberof students in its history, the high water mark having been raised to3,615. The total freshman enrollment is 1,017, ^'^ increase of 15 per centover that of 1904-05.The football team under almost overwhelming misfortunes has acquitteditself nobly and again stands a champion.

The success of theteam was fair, however, considering the lightness of the team and weight ofthe opposing teams. We were defeated November 25 by our old time rivalsin athletics—Lafayette. The game was interesting from the spectatorspoint of view because of the fast and snappy play. The game was largelyattended; a good number of the Lehigh alumni were present to show thattheir love for alma mater had not died out as yet. We were pleased to welcomeamong these, Bros. Evans, Smith, Hartzog, Hagerman, Blazer, Kavanaughand MacCleary. This season Pennsylvania Eta has been representedon the field by Bros. Pierce and Smith; Bro. Pierce having made the 'varsity.
