morning the brown and white soccer team will leave for annapolis where it will play the naval academy team on saturday afternoon last year the two teams played in a game which ended in a 4-4 tie this year although navy is reputed to have a stronger team the lehigh booters are thoroughly prepared to beat them this will not be a league game but a great deal depends upon the outcome the brown and white line-up will probably be the same as that used against haverford last saturday although lehigh lost this game it was due main ly to the losses that the players have suffered since the n y u and army games two weeks ago fernandez lehigh's star cen ter forward who was injured in the second half of last satur day's game is in the hospital with a very bad leg trumbore phyfe and hubbard are also on the sicck list batz who was injured in the n y u game is still out of the lineup despite the absence of these regulars hard scrimmage has been held every day this week and the men are rounding out into the best physical shape ne vins the mainstay of the brown and white defense and mercur the speedy linesman are the shining lights of the team both played a very good game on saturday and kept the

room he has gone ahead and is now filling up the places left b ythese injured men the team had become more or less demoralized because of the dark outlook but it is now get ting back its old fight and is go ing to annapolis to beat navy professor palmer entertains beaux arts society the opening of school found coach baldwin already whip ping his proteges into shape for the coming season his squad was somewhat hampered by the loss of five letter men last year but with the bevy of material at his disposal he has been able to mould a team worthy of le high's greatest praise lehigh is one of the few eastern teams to use the huddle system and al though there is some doube as to its practibility it has been a valuable asset to her despite the fact that this years grid schedule is an ex tremely hard one the team has suffered no defeats her vic tories have been moral ones as well as those by points lehigh has gone into two of these con tests as the under-dog as it is termed by the sport world they have emerged from these with ties and the knowledge that they have beaten a reputation and have the moral stamina to come up from the rear the season opened here with gettysburg as the opponent af ter a well fought game the visi tors were sent home with the small end of a twelve to noth ing score greer and lewin ac counting for lehigh's points the following week the brown and white team invaded the tiger's den and certainly did twist its tail neither team was able to score but we can truthfully say lehigh was with in an inch of victory dickinson proved to be an easy opponent and was more of a preparatory game in view of the one with rutgers lehigh not wishing to show its full strength only dolled a fifteen to six defeat to them touchdowns for lehigh were made by greer and hayes and lewin added the other three points rutgers proved to be the hardest opponent but with a thirteen to thirteen score to le high's credit matters had a dif ferent trend this game is sec ond in importance to that with lafayette continued on page 4 col 5 rear admiral dyson speaks on navy day famous commander was ob tained through the help of lt commander brown discusses navy development a

team plays baltimore city college the game will begin promptly at half past twelve and it is the duty of the frosh to be out to root for their team at that time this will be practically the first chance lehigh has had lo see the first year men play foot ball on founders day the frosh pigskin warriors played the sophomores to a scoreless tie but no extensive practices had been held up to that

more of a battle than this game has been in the past last year the an nual inter-city contest resulted in a score of 13 to s in favor of lehigh however the game promises to be a different story this year if the present indica tions are accurate the sup porters of the allentown team are very serious and the team it self is determined to make a creditable showing for itself the activities in preparation for the game got off to a great start thursday night when a big pep smoker was held the us ual custom of having it before the game was departed from in deference to the celebrations in order for hallowe'en which comes on friday night the smoker was a great success in every way and keen interest was aroused in the coming game the affair was the largest held so far this year and great crowds thronged the commons in which the get-to-gether was held the townsmen interested in the college's activities were invited in addition to the stu dent body as an auxiliary at traction boxing matches wrest ling bouts and local entertain ers were on hand to augment the usual speeches from the fa culty and prominent students in short the general impression seemed to be one of beat muh lenberg at any cost however the actual work in preparation for the game h done not in the pep meetings or individual comment but on the field during practice the cardinal and gray team has been priming in earnest af ter a period of rest early in the week up at muhlenberg field coach walter wood has been at work on his charges extending his powers in a great effort to have an invincible combination on the field saturday two men who will bear watching on the muhlenberg team are winnie slemmer and borrell these two are the stellar backfield stars of the team and they are worthy of the praises sung in their honor slemmer gave a wonderful exhibition of kicking on tuesday afternoon the coach had him working on kicks the entire afternoon to the ex clusion of everything else those who witnessed the work pro claim that honey lewin will have an able opponent on satur day when it comes to an edu cated toe it seems that slemmer is a master in punting the honors seem to rest with bor rell in fact he is a real triple threat he outpointed his op ponents in the f and m game last saturday his passing was accurate and several fairly long ones were completed in run ning back punts and broken field running borrell also excells one punt was carried 65 yards by him in the last game coach this saturday afternoon in drown hall immediately after the muhlenberg game a tea dance will be

fraternities are running dances this week-end it is expected that the crowd will be increased in this manner none of the reflections cast by last week's affair should be allowed to in fluence anyone and everyone should turn out for this affair the dance committee of the inter-fraternity council wishes to express its regret over the outcome of the tea dance which was to have been held last sat urday in drown hall after the rutgers game due to unavoid able circumstances the orchestra which was to have played last saturday afternoon was un able to do so but the committee promises that this

remarkable time of 35 minutes and seventeen sec onds barba and siegmund of lehigh who finished fourth and fifth respectively tried to main tain the gruelling pace set by the leaders but after the first part of the race the distance between them and the first two men gradually increased barba and snyder were close throughout the race but the lat ter had a slightly stronger finish which enabled him to cross the mark about a half a minute ahead of the lehigh runner siegmund and askin finished a short distance behind barba the latter was challenged by germantown of lafayette as they rounded
