sonal observation of all teams in action in his comments coach carpenter says my selection is based upon players i have personally seen in action this season and with out fear or favor and unbiased opinion of others the stand ing of the league at the close of the season has no bearing what ever on my selection before going into detail of the various players i wish to congratulate haverf ord on winning the state league championship they had a wonderful balanced team which gave a good account of it self throughout the season an other question in my mind at this time is the selection of an all-state team by james mc pete haverford coach mr mcpete or any other coach in the intercollegiate lea gue should confine his selection exclusively to the clubs of which he has had the opportunity to witness the players in action and not trespass upon another con on page 4 col 3 frosh wrestlers hard at work 1926 epitomes now on sale preparation for gruelling schedule is going on in the face of

will bear watching in this meet with the more seasoned members of coach gulick's charges evi dence of their prowness may be gleaned from the fact that wed nesday leader the frosh hope in the breast stroke broke the university pool record by two and one-tenths seconds his time for the distance being 3 min utes 7.2 seconds hobbs in the dives has been showing rare skill and riker may be counted on

tryouts are held in a week or so in the meantime coach sheridan is putting the yearlings through lots of hard work and is developing them rapidly in the art of wrestling there is still a great need for heavyweights and it is hoped that more men of this class will come out and try for the team the first meet on the sche dule is with baltimore city col lege at lehigh on the twenty fourth of january and will probably prove to be one of the stiff est meets this season some of the other meets include such strong teams as perm frosh and cornell frosh the full schedule which ratified this

part of the game the canadians put up a fine battle from start to finish the game was the fourth on the schedule of both teams and is the third victory for the brown and white cage men at a pre vious meeting of these teams two years ago toronto came out on the long end of the score and lehigh was out to even up mat ters this year wedneday's contest numbers the fourth de feat suffered by the toronto team this season the brown and white floor men show considerable im provement in their style of play and gave a fine exhibition of pass-work the team has been drilling in this phase of the game in the practices since the holidays and their game shows a big improvement as a re sult lehigh started the scoring in the first few seconds of play by a cleverly executed field goal gallagher got the tap-off and a quick pass from hess to smith placed the ball in the net le hig-h was supreme during the entire first half and scored sev eral times by snappy floor work some long goals from the floor by gallagher featured the first half hutchinson made many spectacular tries for goals in an effort to even the score he seemed unable to locate the basket accurately and missed many of the shots it was their inability to locate the basket that cost the toronto aggrega tion a number of two pointers the defensive work of schaub lehigh guard and of burgess toronto guard were the out standing points at all stages oi the game both men time and again broke up pass work which would have resulted in scores the play was very fast all thru the first half although lehigh established an early lead and re mained at a safe number of points above their opponents their lead was not threatened at any time and the half ended with a score of 21-8 in favor of the brown and white at the beginning of the sec ond half toronto started a rally and dropped in several two pointers before lehigh got started potter a forward for the visitors was responsible for most of his teams points smith of lehigh then got going and succeeded in chalking up no less than eight baskets in this half smith was high scorer of the game dropping in a total of ten field goals and two fouls pot ter was second with a total of thirteen points the final whis tle blew with the home team at on saturday jan 10th the brown and white basketball team will travel to new bruns wick n j to play the rutgers cage men this will be one of the hardest fought games of the season and it will require all the skill and speed of the le high players to bring home a victory two games were play ed last year with the new jer sey rivals with the result that each team was victor on their own floor it is therefore with keen anticipation that the team looks forward to wipe out the defeat of last year and make an effort to win both of the games scheduled the redoubtable hazel will probably be listed among the men to oppose the lehigh team while enander and benkhert will be a source of trouble to the players there will probab ly be no changes in positions on the lehigh team and the strong est possible combination will be used against this rival team brown and white bethlehem pa friday january 9 1925 three lehigh men selected xmas
