He explained the process of paint ing the glass with colored pigment and heating it until the pigment melts and becomes a permanent part of the glass. Mr. Mayer, who has assisted Dr. D’Ascenzo with many of his well known works, says that since the re vival of ecclesiastical architecture in America, the finest stained glass in the world is made in America.

C-231 COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS Lafayette is one of the Lion’s old est opponents, the teams having met first in 1889, State’s fourth official gridiron season. Only Bucknell, Le high ami Dickinson, had been previ ously met by the Lions. The Maroon and White opened the series with a 24-to-0 victory. Only three times since have they defeated the Blue and White, in 1897, 1928, and 1931, which was the last encounter between the teams. Coach Bob Higgins is expected to start the same team that took the field against Penn Saturday. This will he Fry and Smith, ends; Weber • and Schuyler, tackles; Barth and Krcizman, guards; Cherundolo, ccn [ ter; Mikclonis, quarter; Captain Mor. I rison and Sign!, halfbacks; and Sil | vano, fullback. j The Maroon and White will start | Arnold and Fitzwatcr, ends; Adamo land Pateman, tackles; Captain Ncsi and Reibinan,' guards; and Patton, ! center. The backficld men who will take the field against the Lions are Buck Bialck, one of the best offensive fullbacks developed at the Easton school in recent years; Sidney Weiss, quarterback; and Stabley and Biai kowski, halfbacks. Although the Lions arc not expect ing an easy time with the Leopards, the visitors should not offer resistance comparable to that of Columbia, Syr acuse, and Penn. They arc due for a victory, and they should get it to morrow. Poolers To Meet Navy The Lion hooters, with McEwan ready to start in spite of a had knee, will attempt to hand Navy its fourth league defeat of this season when they and the Middies tangle on the Beaver field pitch. The same line-up that entered the Springfield fray, with the possible ex ception of Welsh at outside right in stead of Corbett, has been announced by Coach Bill Jeffrey. Navy, beaten by Haverford, Lehigh, and Yale so far, should he easily relegated to Mr. Jones’ locker by two or three goals, if the unbeaten Nittanymen perform according to expectations. If Bieiicki and McEwan find the range, no trouble is anticipated; if it turns out to be a battle of rear line defenses, the Lions still have the edge. Navy’s offense, centered about light hut fast players, has been able to click only in non-league encoun ters, notably against Western Mary land and Gettysburg 38 Eleven To Meet Bullets Moving out of town for its last game of the season, the freshman football team will play the Gettys burg freshman eleven on the Bullet’s field Saturday afternoon. The Lion cubs will seek to avenge their first defeat of the year which they suffer ed at the hands of the heavy and tricky Pitt yearlings last week-end. Manager Ralph P. “Pinzy” Needle ’35, manager of thy team, announced today that approximately thirty men would make the trip. Nels Walke, freshman mentor, has been drilling his charges hard and late all week despite the fact that the Gettysburg team is of little better than mediocre quality. However, the Bullet fresh men are said to be rather big and fact and that, more than anything else, caused the downfall of the Lion cubs last week.
