season the hopes for a home victory are somewhat dimmed as little spir it has been shown by the fresh men there are several events in which no lehigh frosh are entered due to the fact that none have turned out to try for those places however the isame is true of the maroon yearlings so from present indi cations the meet should be an evenly matched one little is known of the strength of the
