soccer league and was played on the upper field the score does not indicate the hard fought game that the contest really was although perm came out on the long end of the score their counters were the results of fumbles by the lehigh men it was the speed with which the victors took advantage of the breaks of the game that rolled up their four points twice in a goal post scrimage hawkins allowed the ball to slip past for a score the game started with promptness and dispatch in the first few minutes of play it was evident that the lehigh team would have to reach the height of its ability if they were to defeat the formidable combina tion against whom they were matched in fact it became more evident when the fast and clean playing of the visiting team pushed the lehigh defense back and scored the first goal in a few minutes after the open ing whistle the game was no continued on page 4 col 2 noted engineer here next friday while holy cross counted only five neither could make a sus tained

succession the first came to its 35-yard line then lehigh reached the center of the field at this point mellinger threw a forward pass to that expert catcher burke and the ball was down for the third

power the lehigh cross country team lost their final dual meet of the season on saturday when they were defeated by the hill and dale men of union college at schenectady new york the score of the meet was 15 to 40 the runners who represented union presented one of the best balanced combinations that the brown and white runners have run against for a long time contrary to the usual practice the runners did not start out at a fast clip instead the un ion men started at a fairly mod erate pace and maintained vir tually the same pace throughout the run the harriers were pret ty well bunched for the first mile the runners of both teams try ing to get to the fore and hold this position after this how ever the first three union men to finish began to slowly leave the rest of the runners and lead the way these three men john son kaplan and boettcher had things practically their own way for the remainder of the race the lehigh harriers tried hard to stick to their heels but were unable to maintain the guelllng pace set by the home team sieg mund and raine of lehigh fought hard to finish ahead of the fourth and fifth men of un ion and succeeded in holding their own until the home stretch here nadeau and johnson man aged to pass the lehigh men and thus union was able to finish all five scorers before one of the continued on page 4 col 1 first faculty dance a great success the y m c a cabinet held an important meeting thursday night in which several questions were discussed there was not a full attendance because some of the members had already left for holy cross a final drive to enroll more members will be undertaken the latter part of this week by the same men who helped in the pre vious drive an effort will also be made to collect the outstand ing pledges which were signed previously to date there are about six hundred men enrolled which is practically the same number as there were last year since there is a larger enroll ment of students this year it can be reasonably expected that the membership in this organiza tion should show a correspon ing increase another important matter which was taken up was the for mation of a freshman cabinet the five men who have charge of this task were present and held a short meeting after the regular cabinet meeting the freshman cabinet is to be an exact duplicate of that of the upper classmen with these two cabinets acting in conjunction with each other it is expected that the work of the organiza tion will be more thorough since more men can be reached various plans for socials were talked over and it was finally de cided that the best form of so cial would be a stunt night in which each class would furnish a part of the entertainment no definite plans were formulated for this but the committee on entertainment is working on them and they will be presented at the next meeting of the cab inet which will be held in about two weeks brown and white displays strong defense against all teams the first freshman cabinet is now a reality and as a result of the election of officers the fol lowing men were elected : vaug han vive-president l smith treasurer and delaplaine sec retary avery president of the freshman class becomes presi dent of the cabinet by virtue ot his office the officers together with the nominating committee met with the secretary of the y m c a and appointed the chairmen of the various commit tees of the cabinet the chairmen of the commit tees are chairman of membership clayton chairman of publicity gil more chairman of entertainment heller chairman of social service pitman chairman of handbook fearnside chairman of bible study helm ; chairman of meetings j r smith chairman of industrial kel logg chairman of foreign stu dents lang chairman of church rela tions blllmeyer chairman of missionary becker the above cabinet is modelled directly after the senior cab inet and is a very valuable or ganization in as much it will tend to bring the freshman in to closer relation with work of | the y m c a it is valuable in another way for it will devel op leadership among the under classmen and some men with great ability will be discovered before they reach their senior jyear season's initial affair of this kind enjoyed by thirty members students addressed by english bishop blue and white aerial attack bewilders frosh in second half first half hard

this contest was the academy's big game of the season twenty-four men made the trip yesterday and twenty-four men participated in the game mercersburg scored chiefly on its aerial attack in the second half having been able to score only seven points in the first two periods of the gamt lehigh was unable to gain con sistently through mercersburg's line the blue and white ben efitted greatly from the many penalties incurred by the lehigh first year men lehigh kicked off to mercers burg on their ten-yard line and the ball was worked back to their forty-yard line where they fumbled and miller of lehigh recovered the ball the browii and white then rushed the ball down to the mercersburg five yard line on plays by burke mullaney and maher and a for ward pass was then thrown to mullaney who was

down in defeat at the hands of rut gers with a score of 43-7 the saturday previous perm trounc ed lafayette to the tune of 6-3 while comparative scores mean nothing and the basis of all pre dictions should be made from seeing a team in action it may be said that lehigh proved itseh a powerful team on the defense against princeton and rutgers and all other opponents faced this season also a team that has an offensive which in flash es has displayed power equal to that of the defense the battle against the arch ri vals lafayette will be one of the features of the football year and should be worth traveling many miles to witness it wilt bring into competition a grid iron machine of tremendous power and a fast team which has mastered the forward pass — a team which is resourceful courageous and well fortified with splendid kickers for a third time this season lehigh's fighting football team was tied but a record of no de feats still stands intact before a record crowd of more than 12,000 persons including about 200 lehigh rooters holy cross held the brown and white grid men to a 3-3 tie the game was played at mt st james in wor cester and marked the dedica tion of a new stadium the two teams were very evenly matched as is shown clearly by the sta tistics a strong wind drove down the field throughout the entire game making aerial at tacks perilous and playing hav oc with the accuracy of punts and drop kicks holy cross was the first to score in the opening period holy cross made two successive first downs and eight yards of another with two to go on the fourth

until le high was inside the five-yard line lehigh ties score one attempt to rush it over was stopped the lehigh men be ing piled up in a heap on tne same line from which they started lehigh took no furth er chances a shout notified the officials that a substitution was to be made and as the game was halted lewin came running to ward the group pulling the jaws traps of his helmet under his chin as he ran lehigh's crack punter hess who had replaced the starting quarterback prior trotted off the field and play was resumed there was but one play when the bail was snapped back it fell into lewin's waiting hands not 15 yards distant from the goal line and directly in front of the posts lewin made a perfect drop kick and lehigh had placed itself on even terms with holy cross for the balance of the game the ball went back and forth neither having a chance to score until the closing seconds when one came holy cross way only to get into the discard with so many neglected football opportunities it was the greatest game of football seen on fitton field this year and one of the greatest ev er piayed on that or any other field the gallant holy cross men outweighed by the famous
