march 2d in the gymnasium the freshmen class basket ball team defeated a picked team from the college by the score of 31 to 12 owing to the fact that the snow had effaced the notice in front of packer hall only a very small crowd turned out to witness the game those who did about forty in number saw one of the fastest and cleanest games of the season as the score shows the fresh men clearly outplayed the other team as far as team work was con cerned but in individual work the other men were not very far be hind hand for the freshmen those deserv ing particular notice are pfahler and mckelvey the former for his goal throwing and the latter a new man for his quick snappy and ac curate passing while the work of mr bronson mr miller and bruner for the other team was very creditable as a whole the game was a de cided success not only as a game but also for the fact that it showed clearly that there is good basket ball material outside of the fresh men class the line-up was as follows : first half 1904 positions picked team pfahler forward bruner 03 mckelvey forward eisenhart/03 burrows center mr miller farabaugh guard mr bronson klarr guard heritage 04 second half pfahler forward bruner o3 mckelvey forward mr bronson burrows center bayles 04 farabaugh guard heritage 04 klarr guard mr miller score — 31 to 12 referee — " pete time of halves — 20 min utes time of game — 50 minutes next saturday night march the 9th the freshmen go up to allen town to play a return game with muhlenberg it will be remem bered that some time ago the fresh men defeated this team by the score of 31 to 15 this time how ever a closer game may be ex pected as muhlenberg has been practicing hard lately and has shown marked improvement then in addition it will be the first game the freshmen have played away from home the game will be called at 8 p m since the awarding of the con tract for publishing the epitome the board has been collecting and arranging the material for the first section of the book and in a few days the proofs will be ready for examination this year the board has endeavored to introduce several new features and has also rear ranged the book in such a way that it will be much handier in looking over the records of the various teams last year were so en couraging that it has been decided to give them more space than here tofore thus making athletics an important and interesting depart ment of the volume a calendar of events has been kept for the past year and the board will be glad to receive any contributions whatso ever toward it as many of the men in college have without doubt no ticed various things of an interest ing or ludicrous character that would be very appropriate for such a purpose about two-thirds of the copy has been already sent to the printer but the latter part con sisting of the gags quotations and literary work will not be shipped until the 20th of this month and up to that time the board will be glad to receive any contributions oi this nature short stories or character sketches being especially desired owing to an excess of work the philadelphia firm that was going to publish the epitome this year could not guarantee its delivery early in may as was desired so the work is being done by a firm in spring field mass who are adepts at such work and who give to their pro ductions a style and finish that is very often wanting in many an nuals as the general appearance of an annual goes a long way with many people when considering its merits and as the board feel that everything possible should be done to make oar annual representative of the college the cover and bind ing have been given careful consid eration and as a result a design has been chosen which will both attract the eye and avoid that appearance of cheapness which is so detri mental to a good book taking everything into consid eration the matter handed in for continued on fourth page captain symington has given to the brown and white a statement of present indications for lacrosse this spring which is presented be low : it is much too soon to discuss the probable outlook for the com ing lacrosse season however what is possible in regard to the future will be acceptable to those in college interested in the game last year's graduating class left seven vacancies in the arsity team but with the large number of men now in college we should have no trouble in getting together enough candidates to fill each of these posi tions few of the new men have so much as seen the game of la crosse and naturally don't think it worth while to learn this is of course a mistake lacrosse is anybody's game and«a man's weight or lack of it is no reason for his not paying the best men we have had have been those developed after coming to college the only way to insure the success of the game is for a large number of men to turn out some perhaps realiz ing that they are learning this year in order to play on next year's team with mr gummere and mr miller in college to help the regular coach we should with the active cooperation of the students be able to turn out a winning team and this is the kernel of the whole situation we must have the men realize that they are individually responsible for the success of the team and that to turn out to drills and field practice i the foundation of the strength of any athletic or ganization the five o'clock drills have now regularly started but are very ir regularly attended the idea is to get the candidates into shape so that when the coach conies in april we can start in with the im mense advantage of a month's hard training the first game scheduled comes about the middle of next month which means that we have very little time after the coach does come so let's have some genuine activity and a good turn-out of men and we can make a record clear of defeats as has been done before subscribe for the brown and white lehigh university the 1902 epitome south
