The prominence of the county option issue has been

SELF RELIANCE.

The man who is self reliant seeks
ever to discover and conquer the
weakness within him that keeps
him from attaining what he holds
dearest. He seeks within himself
the power to battle against all Out
side influences. He realizes that
all the greatest men in history have
been those who have had to fight
against sickness, suffering, sorrow.
To him defeat is no more than
passing through a tunnel is to a
traveller. He knows he must

Lehigh players jumped on him and tho
nlayers on both teams Immediately

to protest but the officials took no
action. Chenowerth. Lehigh's star quar-
