played the rutgers team wednesday this match how ever did not take place because of a shift in the schedule george washington " was supposed to visit bethlehem today for a match unfortunately they in formed manager donaldson that they would be unable to make the trip and keep the engage ment according to the sched ule when this became known it was decided to move the rut gers match up to to-day as this would prove more satisfactory for both teams involved so by the revised program the court men of rutgers will be met to day and franklin and marshall will be the opponents of the brown and white team tomor row the team is rather confident that these matches will result in a double victory although both matches were lost last week in the trip to new york the facts of the defeat lessen its sting the west side club is com posed of men of considerable more experience in the game than college men could hope to boast of the army team won by the slim margin of one set the score of which was
