strong al ientown prep team by the close score of 28-21 me ailentown doys put up a very strong de tense which was almost unpene trable at times while the jb rush detense proved to be rather weak ailentown prep started off with a rush scoring several bas kets in the first few minutes of play the frosh then settled down and came back at them by scoring several double-deciters ahentown then gained a good allentow nthen gained a good margin over the frosh which they maintained during the rest of the first half the score stand ing 19-9 at the end of the per iod the second half was some what the same story the frosh having the better of the scoring this time although they were not able to overcome the big lead piled up by the ailentown boys in the first half the final score stood at 28-21 sensational long shots proved to be the big feature of the game ailentown was very adept at this branch of the sport and lehigh gained most of their points in this manner also the playing of

it five out of six starts the first half was rath er slow with erratic passing on the part of both teams and faul ty team-work from the open ing whistle it was very evident that the albright team was hopelessly outclassed and the 62-11 score conclusively prove this fact the maroon and grey pulled the notredame after twelve minutes of playing in the first half when they substituted an entire fresh team however the results did not prove as sat isfactory as when knute rockne pulls his famous stunt for the new outfit were as helpless against the lehigh passers as their predecessors the first period was disting uished by the outstanding work of schaub and weinstein schaub always on the alert and caging one goal after another while weihstein was hither and yon over the entire floor smash ing up play after play and time and again taking the sphere away from the meyerstown dribblers the half ended with lehigh on the big end of a 31-7 count the second period was open ed with a rush by the lehigh gang the team work was beau tiful and the passing was fast and accurate within the first minute of play gallagher caged one on a spectacular toss from a difficult angle scores were made frequently and evenly di vided among the brown and white players although hess seemed to be on one of his off days and scored but one basket throughout the game but it was team-work and not individ ual glory that loomed big last wednesday smith however was high man with 8 field goals and 2 foul con on page 4 col 3 toward the middle of the night-cap period lehigh made wholesale substitutions in her ranks with the entrance of bond m schaub and roberts for gal lagher smith and hess natur ally this combination lacked the precision in caging them scor ing but a few points the remain der of the game but nothing ad rev.gateson's subject is why i believe still stinging under the 49-38 defeat administered at the hands of the lehigh quintet the scarlet basket shooters from the banks of the raratan will come west in an ernest endeavor to even up the series with the in habitants of old south moun tain the game will be played in taylor gymnasium tonight while the scarlet cagemen are eager to win coach jim bald win's men are determined to make it a sixth straight vic tory in the game of last saturday the lehigh five showed marked improvement over the style of play previously shown in the albright game of wednesday night jim baldwin gave some of his first string men a rest giving some of the substitutes a chance to get into an actual game besides giving the reg ulars a rest it gave him a chance to size up some of his reserve material during the week the team has been subjected to its usual strenuous practice sche dule with emphasis being put upon passing and team work these departments of the game have improved remarkably since the opening game of the season but there is still room for im provement rutgers will undoubtly put on the floor the same team that opposed the brown and white less than a week ago manck a forward and darwent the pivot man who each scored five goals from the floor will have to be watched and will give the guards plenty of work the lat ter is by no means a bad foul shooter scoring five out of six tries from the fifteen foot mark in the previous game lehigh will probably put on the same five that has been do ing the greater part of the work during the present season cap tain hess will be seen at right forward with smith as his com panion these two are enelusive pair and the hope of victory de pends upon them outwitting their guards gallagher will be in the center circle and will have a job on his hands to keep dar went from scoring bonnie weinstein holding down his old position of guard should be a big factor in the le high defense as he has proven himself in the previous games either gualco or e schaub may be seen in the other guard posi tion gualco has been playing a good game in the last few en counters and will no doubt be seen on the floor before the fi nal whistle blows plans for a brief tour of the combined lehigh university music and glee clubs together with the lehigh south moun taineers have been formulated the trip will be taken feb ruary 19 20 and 21 and will in clude the new jersey towns ot maplewood east orange and asbury park at maplewood the lehigh musicians harmony will be rendered at a

lehigh students al umni and a few friends the au ditorium in which the affair is to take place is extremely lim ited in its seating capacity and in order to assure oneself of en joying the program it
