to atone for this by bringing home a victory the lehigh trackmen have been aided considerably by very fav orable weather this year and some of the best early season performances in many years have

4 col 4 the lehigh university base ball team returned from its southern trip having met with two defeats in as many games the third game against the quantico marines seemed clin ched by the brown and white nine but rain in the fourth in ning ended the contest with le high leading 7-0 the poor showing of the le high team in the first two games of the trip was due to a great extent to the bad weather con ditions and to coach baldwin's illness at princeton the le high batters could not solve the curves of dignan and as a re sult only four hits were secur ed reds nevins collected two of the team's hits one being a long triple which scored amb ler but in trying to stretch the hit into a homer the lehigh catcher was thrown out at the plate the princeton batters found dv bois for eight hits and the same number of runs in the first four innings of the game but from the fifth on they were held to two hits by captain adams who replaced dußois in the box the marine game which was ended by rain in the fourth in ning seemed destined to be put away in the lehigh bat bag the following day the team minus the services of its cap tain lined up against maryland who were out to avenge last year's defeat at the hands of the brown and white nine the baltimorians rallied in the eighth and scored two runs off walker which decided the game in this encounter the lehigh batters managed to gather six hits which showed some improvement over the hit ting in the princeton game dr miller honored by acad of science third dimensional life to be discussed this sunday elected president of the

philadelphia col lege of osteopathy on saturday afternoon at lehigh indica tions are that it will be a keen ly contested struggle especially in view of the fine battle oste opathy put up with haverford last week although haverford won four matches to two os teopathy showed that it had a dangerous team especially with carl fischer as anchor man fischer is rated as one of the leading inter-collegiate tennis players of the country he for merly held the inter-collegiate championship and two years ago he was rated among the first ten racquet wielders last year he played in the olympics in the haverford match fis cher easily obtained his victory defeating phil johnson captain of the haverford team 6-3 6-0 johnson played the first four games to the tune of 3-1 but fischer braced up and ran out eleven straight games his powerful strokes and sure foot work gave him the victory in the doubles with haverford fis cher and allen beat johnson and lester but osteopathy lost its remaining matches in spite of the fine playing of herbst and barnes every match was bitterly contested and lehigh can look forward to the same kind of fight the lehigh players have not been announced as yet but it is quite certain that lawall koeg ler and hagenbuch will play they are all in the best of form and can be counted upon to give their opponents a stiff battle saturday a time honored lehigh tradi tion was broken when the sen ior class banquet which was to be held last wednesday evening was called off due to the lack of support of the class members contrary to the dispatch in the public ledger of that date the cause was not due to a rift ex isting between the fraternity and non-fraternity men of the class as there are no grounds at all for this unfounded rumor the real trouble evidently is due to various reasons which are not apparent on the surface of the matter it must be re membered that the class of 25 is in a way what might be called a transition class in the mid dle of their college career the adminstration and its policies took a radical change and the class has not been able to orient itself to meet the new condi tions the few men who attended the class banquet last year were keenly disappointed in the af fair on account of the stringent regulations imposed by the col lege authorities the general sentiment after the affair was a lack of enthusiasm in looking forward to one this year this feeling greatly impeded the sale of tickets this year and it was only after great difficulty that the committee was able to dis pose of sixty tickets seventy five per cent of which were bought by fraternity men this failure of the class of 25 to hold their banquet is most unfortunate indeed and was due con on page 4 col 4 ing games lehigh's whilrwind crosse
