junior week has come and gone but its memories linger on with those who spent those four mem orable days at lehigh tasting the delights of a carefree life filled with social pleasures each dance seemed better than the preceding and each tea had a novelty that made it stand out from all the rest the fair guests began to arrive on monday morning and each train from no matter what direction brought a fresh influx of these wel come visitors who seemed to change the very atmosphere of the campus from a serious thoughtful mien to a carefree existence the festivi ties commenced on monday evening with the inter fraternity dance which lasted until well after three due largely to the excellent music which was impossible to resist the sam brown orchestra from the ritz carlton hotel philadelphia were the guilty parties on this oc casion on tuesday afternoon there were two rival attractions in the sigma phi and phi delta theta teas each function had its staunch upholders who vouch safed that each was the best ever though there were many guests who attended both and proclaimed them equally attractive the evening brought with it the cotillion which under louis cohen's musical touch was a masterpiece after tripping the light fantastic until after three the guests adjourned to the delta tau delta house to reassemble at a breakfast dance this annual af fair of the delta taus has gained great popularity and junior week would now be incomplete with out it continued on page three in the afternoon the chi psis and sigma nus vied with each oth er for the honor at teas held in

since tennis has been a sport at the university within the period of a week five matches were played four of which resulted in victories and one which ended in a tie the season record to date shows a clean slate with five victories one tie match and no de feats this is excellent campaign ing for early-season form and the prospects for a very successful sea son are very bright rutgers proved to be no match for the lehigh racquet-wielders on april 22nd and failed to win a single match three of the matches however went into three sets and the lehigh men were forced to ex ert themselves in order to win the summary : — singles capt beck of lehigh defeated duryee rutgers 6-3 7-5 beale lehigh defeated belnap rutgers 6-2 2-6 6-3 koegler lehigh defeated jones rutgers 3-6 7-5 6-4 wentz lehigh

oppose lehigh stevens the university of penn sylvania and johns hopkins alone stand in the path of the lehigh la crosse team in the struggle for the championship honors of the south ern division of the intercollegiate lacrosse league the game with the midshipmen on april 22nd showed the real strength of coach o neil's aggregation and although the latter drew the short end of the 5 to 3 score the game was a toss-up until the final whistle to-morrow the brown and white stick-wielders journey to hoboken to meet the strong stevens team and the tech men promise to offer stiff opposition losing to the ox ford-cambridge champions by an 8 to 4 score the hoboken collegians held johns hopkins 3 to 2 and last saturday sent yale down to defeat by a creditable margin of tallies this year stevens possesses a strong defense and it was the work of this department that kept the hopkins attack out of the running coach bill o'neil is expecting one of the hardest games of the season to-morrow and has been priming the squad accordingly with the exception of whitney who has a bad cold the varsity team is in good condition warm weather at the beginning of the week was a big aid in getting the men into stride after the lay-off during the spring vacation period dick kutzleb who exhibited such stellar goal work against the navy has been stopping the attack in the shooting drills during the week and it should be an extraordinary shot that gets into the net to-morrow the same varsity team that fought the navy stickmen to a standstill has been scrimmaging together all week and the combination plays of the attack have improved a vic tory to-morrow for the brown and white will be a big stride towards championship laurels and captain red strauch and his team-mates are after the long end of

the trip to bethlehem was the only trip away for the midshipmen and lehigh was very fortunate in being able to get that date the navy squad is the best that they have had for years and in the games preceding the game here they have averaged nearly eighteen goals each game on the other hand cornell was the only oppo nent to be able to score a single goal against them at that they were defeated by the overwhelming score of 20 to 1 the game opened with a rush with each team realizing that they would have to fight their utmost to win and it is certain that the game that was put up by both teams was the best that has been seen on tay lor field for several years the navy attack showed all kinds of form and speed and forced the brown and white defense to keep constantly on the move to keep the ball away from the net the work of kutzleb at goal was excellent as he kept out countless attempts of the navy forwards enslin bush and strauch also showed their cus tomary good form and on several occasions blocked shots that were labelled for the net for fully fifteen minutes after the play started neither side was able to get near the goal and most of the work was hard scrimmage in mid-field wilson missed an ex cellent chance for a goal just be fore the first score when he was able to slip by his guard and get close to the net but in the excite ment of the play he overshot the mark the speedy defense of the middies recovered the ball and car ried it down to lehigh territory where dole the navy center tal lied the first counter of the game this score made the lehigh squad work even harder and many shots were aimed at the navy goal af ter repeated attempts muzdakis passed to tavener who made a clean shot into the goal navy ob tained the ball after the face-off but it was recovered by lehigh the brown and white squad lost another opportunity to score when bush carried the ball in but the shot was saved by smith a very short time later wilson carried the ball in from mid-field and contrib uted another point toward lehigh's total the first half ended shortly after with lehigh one point to the good and with the satisfaction of continued on page six pi delta epsilon notice the lehigh tennis team plays their second match of the week this afternoon with the university of pittsburgh this will be the sec ond time these two teams have stacked up against each other this year lehigh having defeated pitt at pittsburgh last week in pitt's first match of the season the le high team should have little trouble in winning this match unless the pitt team has unearthed some more players or improved their playing a great deal since their first match the pitt team is on an eastern trip and has matches scheduled with bucknell lafayette lehigh and swarthmore captain williams is the star of the pitt team but cap tain beck of lehigh had little trou ble in defeating him in straight sets last week m pittsburgh beale of lehigh also had no trouble in de feating the pitt number two man grooms and he should repeat his victory over the pitt man to-day lehigh has had an extremely suc cessful season so far with victories over moravian rutgers west vir ginia washington and jefferson and pitt ; two tie matches with car negie tech and perm ; and no de feats the lehigh team is trying hard to go through the season with out a defeat to mar their work so they will put forth every effort to defeat the panther racquet wielders again burr notice the violet nine representing the new york university will engage the brown and white for nine in nings to-morrow afternoon on tay lor field the game will mean the using of signals against his alma mater for coach mccarthy earned the b a degree here in 1919 while at lehigh he was a star all around athlete and will probably find it hard to remember that all is fair in love and baseball coach mccarthy had but one vet eran around which to build this year's nine but he is well pleased with the organization he has built up the chief worry was the pitch ing staff but the hurlers withstood heavy action and are ready for any sort of battle mccarthy has three good pitchers up his sleeve and although it is not known which one he will use whether it be dor kin bacile or dunlevy each will give the brown and white a run for their money continued on page six the violet so far this season has about an equal number of victories and defeats the season was open ed with a victory over bowdoin 7 to 4 on the thursday before princeton gave lehigh the first de feat of the season 7to 1 ; the ti ger tossers took a

record of 15 victories in 18 starts meant little to the brown and white for when they lined up against the north carolina collegians they found pitcher sanderson for eleven hits and twelve runs and incidentally scored the first white-wash of the season the final figures stood at 12 to 0 may day violence again was in vogue and many batting av erages were fattened the game appeared to be a reg ular ball game up until the terrible third inning when sanderson began to be pounded for everything from singles to homers his team-mates aided considerably with numerous errors in giving lehigh 8 runs be fore the brown and white were retired for the inning adams led at bat with three hits for a total of six bases with don ovan and read sharing second hon ors with two hits each read and rogers each came through with four baggers lees again assumed the burden of hurling and held the trinity team scoreless for five innings in which time he struck out four junie light replaced lees in the

moment later made the same trip by walking timmy donovan singled scor ing rowley hess being tagged out at the plate continued on page six it was the terrible third that de cided the fate of the team

left field lees was thrown out at first johnson drew a base on balls and stole second adams slid home on larkin's easy grounder to turner f smith the catcher had trouble in holding the ball and while he was juggling it johnson romped home larkin going to second turner muffed rowley's easy out larkin going to third with rowley safe at first larkin and rowley scored on hess's infield hit read seemed
