season opens to-morrow night when the brown and white grapplers meet the princeton matmen this meet the season-opener for both lehigh and princeton will be held at princeton the brown and white squad leaves saturday morning for their short trip lehigh will be represented by an exceptionally strong team this year with a good many of last year's squad back little is known of the princeton line-up as this is their first meet and as yet their tryouts have not been completed but it is expected they will have their usual strong well-balanced team and al though lehigh may be represented by the strongest team it has had for the past several years they will run up against an exceedingly powerful team in princeton the outcome of the meet is very haird to predict but by all present indications it will be very close in the 115-pound class lehigh is very ably represented by captain schwarzbach in the 125-pound class the brown and white will be represented by warriner one of last year's letter men gihon a two season veteran will wrestle in the 135-pound class in the 145-pound class lehigh will be represented by van billiard a new man on the team who threw a m mckenzie and won from rogers on a time de cision in the tryouts last week coxe last year's captain will up hold lehigh's reputation in the 158 pound class in the 175-pound and unlimited classes lehigh will be represented by two new men who were ineligi ble last year due to the freshman ruling burke will wrestle in the 175-pound class since he defeated carlisle in the tryouts levitz will represent the brown and white in the unlimited class since he also defeated carlisle in the prelimi naries the baseball team is looking for ward to a successful season this year as a number of last year's var sity will be back on the diamond plenty of new material is expected to turn up in the freshman class and there is little doubt that some good players will be unearthed when the candidates respond to the call continued on page four lehigh will not have a large pitch ing staff but of that which is avail able lees foremost of the hurlers will no doubt be the pitching ace this year read a letter man will be the leading back-stop for the varsity berth henschen bessemer adams hess and rogers are a few of last year's material which 1923 epitome sale is progressing slowly bosey reiter will address y.m.a.c meet next saturday the team which was downed by rutgers last week journies to west point to retrieve its lost honors little or nothing is known of the strength of the army tankmen but suffice it to say that they can nowhere near equal the aggregate of stars representing rutgers ; in fact there are few teams in the east that cam rival the team which lehigh met last sat urday breidster who headed the army gridiron men during the past sea son will undoubtedly enter the 220 yard sw r im while osgood will prob ably swim the 100-yard event breidster replaces tknberlake of last year's team in the 220 and thus competes with harmon in this event which was won last year by the big lehigh star it is hoped that the result will be the same this year the meet is to be run off under i c a rules which provide for the elimination of the plunge and the substitution of a 440-yard event in its place owing to a lack of any properly-trained men for this event lehigh petitioned that a 220 yard event be allowed to which the army acquiesced in all probability the team of last saturday will remain intact al though the positions of some men will be changed about if the above is true then the line-up will be as follows : — relay — saxton schaefer at wood and harmon breast-stroke — freeman back-stroke — quick and saxton 50 yard — harmon and jackson 100 yard — schaefer andatwood 220 yard — parsons harmon dives — childs and astarita coach lukens has had his men hard at it since last saturday and if willingness upon the part of the men and capability of the coach are decisive factors the remainder of the season should be highly suc cessful freshman wrestling the mustard and cheese dram atic club held a regular meeting last wednesday evening in drown hall at 7:30 o'clock president b e rhoades 23 presiding the purpose of the meeting was to take final action on the show which will be produced late this spring and the play which has been written by members of the under graduate body was accepted this marks a new era for the mustard and cheese club the entire play lyrics and musics having been writ ten by only lehigh men this pro duction is about lehigh and for le high and promises to be the most successful project of the year it was decided to hold tryouts for the cast soon following mid-year ex aminations probably february 9th in drown hall notices will be posted pertaining to this

piersol 24 and prof fay bartlett cyanide club meets lehigh's rivals from up the river visited the brown and white five wednesday night and returned on the short end of a 42 to 22 score the cardinal and grey lined up to expectations during the first half but in the second they seemed to fall to pieces and allowed lehigh to score almost at will the game as a whole was irather poorly played neither side exerting themselves very much except for one short spurt muhlenberg rarely threatened the brown and white basket relying most of the time on long shots the cardinal and grey had almost no teamwork their passing was almost negligible the muhlenberg five were irather a rough aggregation evidently being used to a lax referee twenty-two lotils wcic called oil tlic alleuluiii ans while the brown and white suffered only ten on the muhlenberg side hols trum the forward was the out standing player scoring four field goals lewis also kept the team in the running by making six foul goals out of ten while hess the freshman star was in the game he was a big gun scoring five double deckers in thirty minutes lingle seemed to have recovered his old pep in foul-shooting the lehigh team was not called on for any great effort and this may be the reason for not playing a stellar game holstrum the allentonians for ward drew the first blood of the evening with a foul goal but lees matched it with another snyder lingle and henschen all tried to cage the ball but failed muhlen berg tried three times to score and failed holstrum managed to make a double-decker but henschen pick ed up the ball shortly afterward and evened the score after a clever run huddy put one in the game then see-sawed on muhlenberg making long shots for the basket for a time the brown and white picked up and lingle caged a field goal and two fouls muhlenberg's passing was weak and several times hartung was able to break up their attack lewis finally scored two for the allentonians continued on page four there followed a period of very fast play the ball racing back and forth between the two teams with neither side able to score lewis and lingle both made several un successful tries for a basket hess was then injected into the game in place of snyder henschen picked up the ball and after a long dash shot it to lees who scored a field goal muhlenberg again made a number of unfruitful long tries but hess proved his worth by breaking up a couple of their plays hols trum rushed the ball down to the basket for a double-decker and then loughridge made a pretty basket from the middle of the floor bring ing the score to 11 to 10 lehigh's favor lingle put in a foul goal because of the weather conditions of the last few weeks the lehigh lacrosse candidates have been un able to practice but work-outs will again be resumed after the begin ning of the second term in the event of the upper field being snow-laden at that time it is very probable that the stickmen will use camp coppee until the weather per mits outside practice coach bill o'neill who has met with such success since taking charge of lacrosse at lehigh three years ago is expected to report at taylor field early in march to take the squad under his wing manager a w hicks jr 23 has nearly completed the schedule for the 1923 season a new aggre gation to cross sticks with the brown and white this year is the university of maryland team the sport is very popular at the mid southern institution the maryland stickmen have the reputation of of fering the stiffest kind of opposi tion and last year they defeated the strong washington lacrosse club a team of ex-collegians and early in the season tied with cor nell 2to 2 another new team on the lehigh schedule is the univer sity of toronto who will journey to bethlehem on june 9th alumni day this final game should prove one of the best of the season as the canadians are especially adept at la crosse it being the most popular spring sport in canada april 7 — univ of maryland april 14 n y lacrosse club april 21 — navy away april 28 — rutgers may s—swarthmore,5 — swarthmore away may 12 — stevens may 19 — univ of penna away may 26 — johns hopkins june 9 — univ of toronto the y m c a speaker for this sunday will be the popular profes sor h r reiter of the depart ment of physical education bo sey will take for his topic the college man's religion every one who has had the opportunity to hear bosey at one of the foot ball smokers knows what would be expected but it is an unusual op portunity to hear his views upon such a subject after twelve years of seeing lehigh men come and go and of occupying the pre-eminent position among them that he does bosey is in a position to know college religion as he does college football all lehigh men should be at drown hall at 5 o'clock to be able to appreciate his views on this subject g c heikes 23 and j h op dyke 23 have arranged a novel form of entertainment which prom ises to be interesting following this a luncheon will be served all students are urgently requested to attend the 1923 epitome which has now been on sale since december 9th is not being sold with the same rapid ity with which the former issues have been sold it may be pro cured from e h snyder 23 at the phi delta theta house on the campus or at the supply bureau in drown hall several of those men who paid deposits last year have not yet secured their copies and the business manager is very de sirous of supplying those men with their books this book is some thing worth having for it not only contains articles of interest to the graduating class but has a large number of departments which have to do with the undergraduates it is a very interesting remembrance of those who have graduated and those who buy it are assured of an exceptional bargain it is a book which will be treasured for a life time and every lehigh man should not be without it it is not only larger than those of previous years but its quality in both appearance and literature is unsurpassed the lehigh freshmam wrestlers will meet the strong blair academy matmen at blair next saturday af ternoon at 3 o'clock the prospects are fairly good for a good season for the yearlings and the squad should have little difficulty in win ning from the blair wrestlers the blair men have no heavyweight wrestlers so that event will mot take place they have two men in the 135-pound class whom they wish to enter so it is probable that a sec ond 135-pound bout will be substi tuted for the heavyweight bout tryouts were held during the past week during which the lehigh en trants were selected 1 15-lb class — chapman 125-lb class — campbell 135-lb class — poliska 145-lb class — anderson 158-lb class — williamson 175-lb class — buenning the cyanide society held
