clash es with lehigh at taylor stad ium as the athletic attraction of house party week end the main liners have a heavy hit ting smooth running ball club that has mowed over its op ponents with but a single ex ception boston college is the only team that has turned back the blue and white this was accomplished at philadelphia when the victors played error less ball to crash thru 3-2 among villanova's victims are numbered princeton c c n v temple and ostepathy princeton was humbled by vil lanova by the count of 7-4 this being the first win for villano va since the innauguration of the series between the two in 1910 last year villanova pushed aside the lehigh play ers in a closely fought battle and it is generally conceded that the brown and white's last year's diamond delegation was superior to that of this year whereas the main liners evi dence considerable improve ment over their last season's performances aces of the blue and white are jacob a local lad masciadri and the pitchers crane and griffiths smith a freshman has pitched a pair of victories for the visitors against rutgers last satur day lehigh performed most creditably dietrich twirled a pretty game and was well sup ported if tomorrow's playing is on a par with that of last saturday a right tough tus sle may be anticipated coach jing johnson is con on page 3 col 2 on saturday afternoon fol lowing the frosh baseball game the brown and white cinder and field artists will match brains and brawn with the new york university track men the meet should provide no end of thrills as n y u has a reputation for fast and strong teams this year's team however appears to be a dark horse since they have not had any dual meets and must be judged solely by the record of last year and by the special events at the perm relays on franklin field last sat urday a most evenly balanced quartet finished second to rut gers in a spectacular battle for the middle atlantic states mile relay title and also third to maryland and fordham in a match relay at the same dis tance this would indicate a very fast set of quarter milers paul williard tied for fifth place in the pole vault cross ing the bar at eleven feet three inches n y u will lose by gradua tion six of the men who plac ed in the dual meet against lehigh at ohio field n v last year but on the other hand will gain many new men who were barred last year due to the one year rule these men particularly the men of the frosh relay team of last year will help make a very strong team in the dashes our frosh team of last year took the special frosh mile re lay but this year this event will prove to be a much stiffer battle since the n y u frosh relay team took third to yale and perm in the freshman one mile relay championship of america at the perm relays the anchor man of this team was timed individually at fifty and a fraction seconds the brown and white team con on page 2 col 3 the lehigh university board of control of athletics met last monday and transacted some very important business one of the major changes effected thru the meeting was chang ing the name of the newly ac quired steel field to that of lehigh field there will be no difference in the uses of tay lor field and lehigh field ex cept that the latter will be most likely the scene of practices for the frosh teams in view of the excellent rec ord compiled by the basketball team it was decided to award major letters to the members of this team herbert c hobbs 28 was also awarded a major letter in swimming this award was made in recognition of his feat in capturing the middle atlantic diving crown an effort will be made to transfer the lacrosse game with stevens that is scheduled to be played at hoboken on sat urday to taylor field the reason for this is to afford a better program for the house party guests who will be here at that time it is also pos sible that a lacrosse game will be arranged for alumni week the board approved a sched ule of four games for the foot ball scrubs for next season this however must await fac ulty approbation before it be comes effective this should be a decided aid in getting more men out for football in the fall
