after being held to one touchdown in first half takes away championship which rutgers had held for several years society sees two reels of pictures on cable manu facture and construction lehigh second string men oiitplay main liners but lat ter's defense only pierced for two touchdowns hand stars for frosh visitors display good aerial attack lehigh finishes fourth first half scoreless with the football classic with lafayette less than a week off one naturally turns to the rec ord of the team which the brown and white journies down the river to meet the easton team staged a comeback when they easily defeated the alfred college eleven by a 47 to 0 score their line-up received a consid erable shakeup aftfer the rutgers game when the maroon and white was defeated for the sec ond time this season and as a result several second and third string men played in the game however the number of sub stitutions was very great and the coaches had a good oppor tunity to get a line on the best combinations for the backfield the work of marsh chicknoski and millman was very consis tent and everyone was satisfied that the leopards would be back to their early season form which enabled them to defeat pitt w and j and bucknell by next saturday thus a very hard battle can be looked for as lafayette will fight to the finish to lessen the stings of her de feats and lehigh will strive just as hard to keep her record spot less for the season and to break the string of defeats suffered for the past five years the civil engineering so ciety held a very interesting meeting in the physics

not grant a moment of respite and made them a prey to the prowess of swarthraore saturday they defeated the brown and white by the score of three to nothing the game was played at swarthmore on a field covered with water and snow and was one in the series of the pennsylvania intercolle giate state soccer league the soccer team is still under difficulties from the loss of fer nandez and further crippled by the loss of frey played their best under insurmountable ob stacles the field being in such terrible condition from adverse weather made the play uncer tain throughout the game play ers making efforts to get the ball under control slipped when run ning and it was impossible to be sure of anything - the ball was so slippery that the halfbacks were sometimes even unable io throw the ball in from the side lines without having it slip from their hands such was the con dition of the field and it was a veritable mud-hole throughout the first half the dall traversed the dripping field neither side scoring the ina blity of the players to maintain their footing was very discour aging to them and many errors were made which were really unavoidable because of that fact the swarthmore defense tightened up however at the opening of the second half and the line likewise assumed the at tack and made the brown and white booters hustle to avoid being swamped captain bart lett the center forward of the garnet team scored the first goal when he dribbled the ball down an open field and placed a neat shot in the corner of the net within a very few min utes of the first tally the same player added another to the score of his team the line and defense of the two teams were mixing it up in front of the le high goal when he slipped the ball over the line before the le high backs could get the ball out of the danger zone the third was made by baird the inside right on a pass fro mthe outside right graham i in an effort to strengthen the team coach carpenter put batz who has been out for some time with a bad knee in captain wal ters position at inside right moving walters to outside right huaman the outside right was shifted to left half displacing scott in spite of the effort to stem the tide of victory for swarthmore the efforts were unavailing and the garnet team was rewarded by a victory how ever in view of the fact that the game was played under the most difficult weather conditions and that the lehigh team has been con on page 4 col 4 using the reserve team with only a few regulars coach jim baldwin's proteges defeated the villanova aggregation in the last home game of the season saturday in taylor stadium a fumble accounted for the visi tor's tally although with the regular line-up on the field lehigh could have piled up a larger score everybody was satisfied with the victory and glad that the scrubs who have been scrim maging faithfully during the season and who in a large mea sure are responsible for tho good record of the varsity team this season had

closely on the player's bench to keep out of the pene trating cold the varsity men closely watched the game ready to go in and save lehigh's un defeated record if the occasion demanded however with the exception of prior littell le vitz and dietrich they were not called upon to step out on the gridiron the backfield composed of prior at quarter morgan and davis at half and levitz at full worked smoothly and the inter ference given to the men with the ball ran with ease and pre cision that would have done the varsity credit the line prov ed to be exceptionally strong and only a few times could vil lanova gain through there with any consistency though lehigh made twelve first downs to vil lanova's four two of which were made on penalties the brown and white lacked the power to score as much as their playing ability would indicate they should i when villanova found that they were unable to pierce the lehigh team by playing straight football they resorted to an ae rial attack the light team was fairly successful in this depart ment of the game though the alertness of the forwards of the brown and white broke up many of them notwithstand 1 ing that the visitors completed more than half to the twenty one tries with one exception they gained less than ten yards lehigh's first score came in the opening period after mon ahan kicked off prior punted and callahan from his own twenty-one yard line tried to punt but schultz blocked it and harmon recovered the ball on the thirteen-yard line lehigh was penalized for off-side play prior and levitz made it first down on the next

spectacular victory over the powerful allentown prep team saturday afternoon when the combinations clashed on tay lor field before the varsity game was called the two teams were more nearly matched in

unexpected twice the unexpected did hap pen and in both cases the break favored the midget brown and white team the first time came early in the third period when adams allentown fullback heaved a forward pass to lane who just touched the flying ball and allowed it to fall into the waiting arms of the on-rushing burke frosh halfback who hur ried it 35 yards to a touchdown no man on the field was able to equal burkes pace he liter ally ran away from every pos sible allentown tackier the second and even more spectacular play was made by hand speedy and brilliant frosh quarterback who took allentown's kick-off just after the visitors had made their lone score from his own goal posts to a touchdown his run of 97 yards through a broken field and with only slight interfer ence is the record of the season for taylor field this play wa.s the first after allentown pushed the ball over for her touchdown and came when she looked most formidable by straight football tactics short passes and line bucking the frosh scored early in the first period quarterback hand carried the ball across in an off tackle play which netted the last five yards the try for point however failed so the score for the half stood at 6-0 altho three times the freshmen were within allentown's five-yard line early in the third period ma her frosh fullback accounted for the second touchdown after hand and
