student body turned out enmasse to spur their football idols on to victory in saturday's clash with the pittsburgh institution and if a parting phsychological effect has anything to do with a team's playing lehigh should chalk up another victory on their list the students straggled over to the jersey central station from six forty-five until train time they were then joined by the band and organized cheering was led by head cheer leader warriner and his assistants be ginning with a double yell for the team resounding cheers were then given for coach baldwin bill springsteen and every

pennsylvania state soccer league lehigh lost to the jun ior varsity of the university of pennsylvania by the score of 3-1 perm presented a very strong and well shaped team unexpected to the majority of the brown and white followers this defeat however does not necessarily destroy lehigh's possibilities for another champ ionship because haverford and lafayette will play a strong game against perm the game was started at 1.30 saturday afternoon last on the upper river field which is not more than a few minutes walk from franklin field perm got off to a wonderful start and within three minutes from hte time the first whistle blew wal ters the red and blue center for ward made a pretty shot for the initial goal of the game in the next few minutes of play lehigh showed a powerful attack hav ing many shots ai the perm goal these shots were all in vain un til walters broke through the wonderful perm defense for le high's first and only goal of the game play then see-sawed back and forth until the closing min utes of the first half when sen senig scored the second goal for perm in the second half perm played entirely a defensive game using three and four full backs continuously our for wards in vain tried to pierce this defense until captain fernan dez broke through only to miss ja his single attempt at goal in the closing minutes of play gentle scored perm's third goal more and more each game our new forwards are becoming ac customed to the team work with the regulars which is vitally necessary for success in these bigger games the only substi tutions of the game came at the beginning of the second half when michelena substituted for trumbore and nevins took rice's place clothier and wal ters deserve especial mention for the game they played for le high while richmond
