to win they had one of their hardest games and knew throughout every minute of the forty min utes of play that they had to be on their toes during the first half lehigh defended the south goal and after breaking the six all tie were in the lead until the end of the first half with the change of baskets lehigh's scoring power slumped and all the long shots aimed at the south basket missed their mark though some of them circled the steel hoop quavered and finally fell on the wrong side in the second half lehigh resorted to long shots almost entirely due to the watchfulness of the gotham guards which made it difficult for a lehigh man with the ball to get within safe scoring range of the goal in this half lehigh tried the five man defense tho not far enough down the floor to prevent the visiting forwards to take careful shots at the le high basket zackszewski who has been seen around here with fordham was the star of the game with six double-deckers to his cred it the fordham coach follow ed notre dame's famous policy and started the game with the second string men save man ning who deserved more watch ing than he got though he did no scoring himself he was one of the big
