in the second lingle was removed on account of personal fouls taking with him the aggres sive spirit and brainy team-work of his colleagues henschen and hart ung were the big guns of the de fense their close guarding keep ing the tigers score down while lingle was responsible for the to tal score after a closely-contested game with lehigh leading twice the uni versity of toronto's champion can adian team finally nosed out the brown and white 35 to 32 the lehigh five seemed to lack their usual team-work in this game there were too many long shots at tempted when the ball could have been

thelfi^to'r^fiaic a thill & ; of the past it is hoped that'te 1?^1 ?^ ; may even better the present stand ' ing the lehigh swimming team thus far has not had a very brilliant sea son but there has been a very mark ed improvement in the work of all the members since its first meet the improved work promises to show itself in several victories for the brown and white squad the season was opened with a meet with princeton and although we were beaten by a score of 56 to 18 it was mainly due to a squad in rather weak condition meeting a powerful squad for its first match consequently the score did not show the true merits of each team the second meet was held with rutgers and in meeting them we made a very creditable showing against one of the most evenly-balanced teams of the country each of the men who won places in the intercollegi ate meet last year came through with a victory in addition to the veterans of the team some new ma terial has been added which is in j every way almost equal fb the more experienced men last saturday the natators were again defeated by west point but by a very small margin showing ijie steady improvement of coach ' lukeni^eru lehigh was defeat ed by

included in the class roll those men who have not yet giv en any information as to whether they wish to be among the rest of the class should communicate with j w gardy editor of the senior class book

the evening of saturday february 3rd against the university of penn sylvania will be a welcome respite from the strenuous seven days of finals last year was a successful sea son for the philadelphians against the brown and white a fact unpre cedented in the history of the wrest ling competitions between these two colleges the lehigh matmen with the thought of last year's defeat in mind are looking forward to a chance of revenge their hopes are stimulated by the very encouraging result of last saturday's meet with princeton in which only one bout was lost ; that being won by the j captain of the opposing team from a jhftn who wr tyi?kilip b'i&.flrsti appearance in an intercollegiate meet to date nothing has been beard of perm's line-up or comparative strength evidently they are still holding their try-outs regarding the probable lehigh line-up for this coming meet noth ing definite can be said until the conclusion of the try-outs as this issue goes to press the preliminary bouts have been run off with the following results : — 115-pound — reynolds threw bo hum time 7:35 125-pound class — olcott won from wash-burn advantage 1 00 lang threw meyers time 5:30 125 semi-final — olcott won from lang 2:20 advantage 158 — beck threw kaman 1 46 175 — carlisle won from beitzel 8:46 advantage it is interesting to note that in the princeton meet all the lehigh men with the exception of the two heavier classes were veterans of one two and three years experi ence this fact augurs well for the coming season for in no sport does experience stand at such a premium as in wrestling an additional ad vantage lies in the fact that the light-weight men are the greatest in amount of experience and there fore cam l>e counted on for early points first blood for a wrestling team is as much to be sought as in any other sport suffice it to say however that no matter who represents the brown and white matmen against penm on february 3rd the visitors will have their work cut out for them there is present in practically every mem ber of the wrestling squad as well as among the student body a desire to see perm once more relegated to the realms of the ever vanquished and incidentally to put another spoke in the league championship wheel by virtue of last week's impres sive win over the princeton tigers the lehigh grapplers are odds-on favorites to gain the verdict next saturday the
