field and now that the jinx is broken the brown and white is determined to keep up the good work according to lafayette sup porters harry pitched last sat urday because as they claimed anybody could win against le high and consequently the ma roon did not put their best pit cher in the box but the records show that harry has won more games for lafayette than any other pitcher on the squad this saturday it is rumored that the maroon intends to \ put in yeisley it remains to be seen whether lehisjh can solve his delivery as thy did hary's with the exception of the pit cher lafayette's line-up will be in all probability the same as before the maroon had one other game this week with wil liam and mary and every other afternoon was devoted to get ting the team in trim for the le mgli game although the eas tonians claim that they have no fears of lehigh yet they are pre paring with all their efforts to prevent their rivals from taking the second game and thus clincihng the series dußois made such an excel lent record in the game last sat urday that there can be no doubt that he will pitch again this week the injury he receiv ed in the last game was slight and should not bother him in the least in the coming game if dußois keeps up the wonderful pitching he has already shown there can be no doubt that the brown and white will have lafayette puzzled the team has been practicing
