              lehigh defeated by hopkins the lacrosse team played johns hopkins at baltimore last saturday and was defeated by the close score cf 4 to 3 the game was a very interesting and exciting one from start to finish and was much en joyed by the large number of spec tators present among whom were many lehigh supporters the field at maryland oval where the game was played was in rather poor con dition owing to a steady rain in the forenoon and this was a serious handicap to lehigh as her men had difficulty in keping their footing while hopkins men all wore rub ber spiked shoes which were a great aid in preventing slipping the sun came out just before the game began and dried out the field to a large extent the result of the game although 2 serious blow to lehigh s cham pionship aspirations was satisfac tory in so far as it showed the strength of lehigh's defense there is little room for doubt that lehigh has a better team than hopkins but the inability of lehigh's attack to make long shots accounts for the loss of the game the stick work ci both teams was very good and there were numerous spectacular throws and catches on both sides lehigh was unable to score dur ing the first half as the passes of the attack were not very accurate and were often intercepted by hop kins defense men towards the end of the half hopkins managed to score twice by running two extra men down on the attack in the second half lehigh started off with a rush and scored in a few minutes on a pretty shot by har rower the score was tied directly by a goal thrown by harrower for the next fifteen minutes the ball was entirely in hopkins terri tory but the attacks were unable to locate hopkins goal and although many shots were tried all of them went wide or too high hopkins finally rallied and after a hard struggle strokhar shot two 1 more goals lehigh then braced and in a scrimmage de schweinitz shot the third goal from this time on until the end of the game lehigh kept the ball in hopkins territory but could not place the ball in the net it would be hard to pick out any particular stars on lehigh's team as every man worked his hardest and played an excellent game the continued on fourth page !
