were unable to hear the entire program as you can see from the attached copy copy of program as received was en closed only a few times did the voices of the singers fade out the speakers were very plain and it must have put pep into the boys that were there and those who were able to hear the relays you will probably wonder where menjobaques is located and would find considerable trouble in locating it on the map it is 115 miles from the nearest town of 5000 population on the transcontinental rail way 210 miles northwest of quebec city should you or any of the boys wish to find the land

taylor field by a score of 3 to 0 the score does not by any means express the relative merits of the two teams as in the second half the brown and white booters showed a marked superiority to the indus trial workers hokendauqua pressed hard from the very start of the game and shortly after play was call ed scored their first point they kept pressing hard throughout the half adding two more tallies before the whistle in the second period however lehigh com pletely outplayed their oppon ents but were unable to score the brown and white had no less than six chances directly in front of goal but to no avail at one point rice had the ball three yards out of the mouth of the goal with no one to beat but the goalkeeper popped the ball over the bar in this half lehigh forced six corners lehigh was minus the services of its star fernandez who has been ill and who is being saved for the game next saturday against haverford hubbard the regular goalie was also out of the lineup also being saved for next week's game his place was taken by hawkins who has showed up well in practice and while his general work was good he missed one or two shots which might otherwise have been saved

lehigh referee i'iutv tittle of hiiivcs m minutes tremendously out-weighed by the crimson team lehigh's plucky team fought against fearful odds last saturday and was defeated by a score of 10-0 an unfortunate fumble in the very start of the game gave rut gers the ball on lehigh's 25 yard line and by successive rushes they carried the ball to the brown and white two-yard line where they were held for downs this situation kept le high on the defensive for the entire first period it was a mighty discouraging start and it was almost a superhuman ef fort on the part of captain bill springsteen and his men that kept the bigger rutgers team from scoring in the very opening of the game henderschott who was play ing left guard in place of lewis showed up very well making himself conscpicuous by throw ing the opposing quarterback for losses several times when he attempted end runs storer and springsteen both did consid erable damage to rutgers and mcgoldrick played a game which was pretty to see he was filling the right tackle position in place of springsteen who re placed roth who was out of the game due to injuries in the first period lewin fum bled a punt which was recover ed by rutgers rutgers made a first down on two left tackle plays benkert fumbled on the lehigh eight yard line but gib son recovered the ball after rushing the ball six more yards hazel

to gain storer punted to terrill who fumbled but recovered the ball himself on an exchange of punts storer fumbled and moore recovered the ball in mid field lehigh received the ball when rutgers could

was low storer punted out of danger mcgold rick recovered a fumble of ter rill and greer soon made a first down storer tried center but was knocked out and re placed by lingle lehigh lost the ball on
