people looked at the team and said he was happy to be connected with such men as composed the lehigh teams after the main speakers the men leaving gave impromptu speeches and they all voiced their regret at not being able to wrestle another year for lehigh notice leo brown college tailor who is the sole representative of the stu dents self aid bureau announced that beginning saturday april 14th his establishment on packer avenue will be open from 8 a m to 6 p m every day except saturdays on saturday afternoon coach morris kanaly's proteges will jour ney to muhlenberg where they will compete with the cardinal and gray in a dual track meet the brown and white will present a team which could be compared to a base ball team without an outfield in other words from the hundred-yard dash to the two-mile theire will be fast and experienced runners in each event including both hurdle events ; but in two field events the high jump and pole vault the out look is extremely discouraging and in the other three field events there is only one man in each who has much chance of scoring against competition such as will be met la telr on in the season the whole reason for such a state of affairs is a lack of candidates for these events in an institution of the size of lehigh trfere must be men who could make a good showing if they would uiily come out every man who comes out will be coached as much as possible and coach ka naly is devoting a large portion of each afternoon helping men who are out for field events the men who finished first or second in the inter-class meet will be the entries to represent the brown and white this week there alre two excep tions to this in the half-mile run me pherson will be entered instead of croll as the latter will devote all his efforts in the quarter-mile and in the two-mile levin will start in the place of fancher who is unable to compete this week continued on page four it will be recalled that last year muhlenberg came to taylor field and virtually swamped the lehigh trackmen dive to the phenomenal performance of corporal reinartz who won seven events and placed second in two others this star athlete is now competing for the university of cincinnati so muh lenberg can no longer boast of a one-man team so to speak never theless they have a freshman hud dy from perkiomen seminary who ! lehigh lost its second lacrosse game of the season in a very spirit ed tilt against st john's academy last wednesday afternoon on tay lor field ; the final defeat being ad ministered in an extra ten-minute period as a whole the game was divert ing but so far as any revelations of teamwork and fast and aggres sive offensive methods are concern ed it possessed little or no interest lehigh had a slight advantage in that they handled the ball more skilfully and played in enemy ter ritory a greater part of the time than did the st john's team this was the most marked improvement shown over last saturday's game against maryland the defense of lehigh was rag ged and a bit slow and time and again a goal was saved by the single efforts of greer at cover or brewer at point this fault is easily ac counted for by the ill condition of the men so early in the season al though the raggediness can only be ironed out by diligent practice of the team as a whole in the attack the same complaint might be made that of ragged pass ing and ill-timed shots numerous shots weire made by the various members of the lehigh team but were either saved by the excellent work of kelso at point or kirkpat rick at goal for st john's the best work was done at defense by the two above mentioned players kelso and kirk patrick had the attack been as well developed as the defense there would have been no question of ex tra periods the game opened with a flurry of passing and first blood was drawn by the visiting team when klackeiring scored five minutes later demoyer cut in with the score that forced the game to ex tra periods for the remttinder of the first half the playing was spasmodic with increasing amounts of unnecessary stickwork and long and frequent shots at the goal by both teams with the opening of the second period the playing became almost vicious and several suspensions for varying times were made hewitt having replaced abel at third at tack exhibited speed and saved three very accurate shots made at short range guyer and buck seem ed to turn up in every scrimmage while darsie and morgan forced their men to pass instead of allow ing them to carry the ball through all efforts to score however were of no avail and the second half ended 1 to 1 continued on page four an extra period of 10 minutes was then played st john's cap tured the ball at the start but kutz lieb saved the shot for goal pass ing by both teams was more accu rate and for shorter distances the winning point was scored by stack the lehigh tennis team has a real job cut out for them saturday afternoon when they meet the strong columbia combination in the initial match of the season on the lehigh courts the gotham netmen claim the honors to two recent wins for this season ; one against the crack dum barton club team of washington score 4 to 3 and the other against george washington by the handy scoire of 7 to 0 the shining star of the columbia club is frank t anderson former national indoor champion who is first string man on their team the visitors have played consistently indoors during the winter months and are in the best of form although the lehigh team has no honors to back up their reputation for this season it may be safely said that the brown and white ins titution has a tennis team which can go up against the best college aggregation in the country and have an even break for the honors it may be true that they have been handicapped in practice due to bad weather but the team which will go against the much-talked-of col umbia netmen this saturday will be composed for the most part of those men who carried the lehigh tennis honors away from practical ly every one of lehigh's court op ponents last year practice for the lehigh team has been held every day for the past two weeks and the men are all mi good condition for a hard match on saturday in all probabilities rod beck varsity first-string man last year will play as first man in the singles when columbia arrives mercur the freshman flash

on six hits a walk a lehigh error and a hit batsmen 1 , but did not score af ter that until the last frame when woerner dashed across the plate with the winning run but for this fruitful inning the
