from lehigh at end of the first term 25 new students enroll new publication out hard practice this week wednesday evening the brown and white five added another victory to their list in defeating s^wartroore to the tune of 45 to 38 the game was hardly up to the high standard set in recent weeks in taylor gymnasium both teams playing rather a slow and loose brand of basketball in the first half le high had rather an easy time with the garnet piling up a tally of 21 to 11 in favor of the brown and white after half time however the little qua kers recovered somewhat andj held the brown and white to a nine point lead throughout al most the entire second half swarthmore's trouble in the first half seemed to be a lack of teamwork the players were too slow and waited too long be fore passing the ball conse quently the lehigh men were in a position to stop most of the visitors plays and the garnet relied largely on long shots at the basket the team was much improved in the second half the play was faster most of the time and the passing and shooting j more accurate shane and | swope were the garnet's star shooters shane putting in a to 1 tal of five baskets during the ggfne and swope four ban lett was perhaps the most ac j tive in passing and dribbling for the garnet making some clever plays and intercepting the ball from the lehigh players more than once the brown and white five played a fair game keeping the visitors from piling up a score and keeping themselves far enough ahead in the tally for safety gallagher and wein stein were the outstanding play ers of the game their shooting from the floor was at times re markable both men excelled in worming their way through the garnet forwards and scor ing at the crucial moments hess although he had occasion al

white swimmers will match strokes with the tankmen of new york university although the lehigh team has suffered three defeat in succession the men are not in the least pessimistic about the outcome of tomorrow's meet each defeat has been at the hands of a much stronger op ponent namely brown cham pions of new england rutgers middle atlantic states cham pions and the army which has a team up to the usual high standard of that institution al though seriously handicapped by the loss of its captain and ! coach the team has been prac ticing with a determination which should show itself in the form of a victory tomorrow af ternoon this is the first year that n y u has entered a swimming team in intercoljegiate competi tion nevertheless under the guidance of coach cann wno was scheduled to compete on the olympic team in 1920 but was forced to withdraw because cf an auto accident the univer city heights team has shown considerable form for their first year they opened the season wtih a dual meet with brooklyn poly tech last friday they were defeated by union college by the score of 42 to 20 winning only the fancy dive and the 100 yard breaststroke by compar ing the times which lehigh made against rutgers with the times n y u made againsc union the brown and white team should not have much dif ficulty in emerging victorious nevertheless the men have not let themselves become overv confident and they are deter mined to make tomorrow's meet the first of a string of victories the men who will represent lehigh have not been definitely selected and n y u had not forwarded a full list of entries but in all probability the men will be picked from the follow ing 50-yard dash lehigh ra leigh and travis n y u em ( continued on page c column 1 the freshman wrestling team will

coach gihon's team was baltimore city col lege last saturday afternoon in taylor gymnasium the balti more lads were defeated by a score nearly identical to the final score of the blair academy meet is to 9 although the ma terial at hand is extremely promising additional candi dates for positions on the team will be welcomed there is al ways the possibility that some one who has not made himself known so far may prove super ior to the present candidates the freshmen team ( has the spirit of victory instilled in it by its former encounters the con fidence that it has also gained with the skill that it already has may be counted upon to wrest a victory from the naval aca demy freshmen information gleaned from figures published at the dean's office bring to light some inter esting facts regarding student enrollment at lehigh there are a total of 983 students register ed at the university this term in comparison to 1051 for last term by the same token it may bo seen that but 68 students have either dropped by the way side or been dropped by the fa culty however the t;nroiiuient for this semester has been aug mented by the addition of twen ty-five students so that really makes the total number that have left this past term 43 of these 43 38 have been dropped by the committee on the standing of students for unsatisfactory work this past semester or in common par lance flunked out last year lehigh adopted the policy of 80 percent or 100 percent proba tion according to the circum stances that is a student whose work was unsatisfactory for the previous term must pass either lour-fifths or all of his work under these terms eighteen were put on probation and it is a significant fact that just one half complied with the terms and stayed and the other nine of course failed a fifty percent record in a case like this is very good comprehensive figures on the 1924 enrollment follow university athletics lehigh university the lehigh basketball team will make its last appearance on distant courts tomorrow when they clash with the scarlet five of rutgers in new brunswick two weeks ago the rutger's ag gregation met defeat by a 32-21 score and are therefore all the more determined to defeat the i brown and white team this will be the courtmen's thirteenth game this season's team under the tutlege of coach jim baldwin has turned in eleven wins and one defeat and that to the undefeated army quintette the army game was the first game that the team lost and if the team keeps up it's clever passing and strong defence this will be the only j one of the season in the first game with rutgers lehigh out shot her opponents from the floor twenty-six to ten showing the superiority of the brown and white forwards and the strong defense which kept down the number of double deckers j that were tallied by the scarlet cagemen although it is not yet known who will start in the game it is expected that jim baldwin j will send on the floor the team i i which has proved so successful j | during the previous game a3 i-though the coach has three for j wards which would be a credit ' to any team captain lingle j ! hess and c l smith it is prob j j able that the first
