              continued on supplement no change in hours upon the request of the editor in-chief coach reiter has given to the brown and white the fol lowing statement concerning sat urday's game lafayette won the game on sat urday on the merit of her playing at the psychological moment one of these moments came in the third period of the game when marshall received a punt at maximum speed on his 50-yard line and dashed to lehigh's 8-yard line it was the same player in the early part of the game who in conjunction with the shift and delayed pass tore straight through the line for several long gains this fact had left its im pression and the moral to play closer it paved the way for dannehower on lehigh's 8-yard line after two assaults to gain the coveted touchdown by means of a quarter-back run behind compact interference around their right tackle the second critical moment came when on a direct pass from center the slippery ball eluded the back's hands and kelly the aggres sive left tackle came tearing through and scooping up the ball with a clear field before him dashed 45 yards for a touchdown danne hower failed to kick the goal mak ing the score 11 to 0 all the scor ing came in quick succession show ing the psychology of the maxim there is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to success in the first half there was little to choose between the two teams if anything the advantage seemed to be lehigh's the last period was a stand-off practically a punt ing duel between kelly and paz zetti naturally the outcome of this game was a disappointment but we would not detract one iota from the glory which deservedly belongs to the victors the game on the whole was clean stubbornly con tested and remarkably free from injuries with the season's work as a whole there is room for much encouragement i take this oppor tunity to thank the men both vars ity and scrub for their sacrifice and devotion in giving lehigh the best they had to the coaches messrs strauss black costello wheelock okeson johnson fara baugh and blaiser the college feels a debt of gratitude the support of the undergraduate body and fac ulty and the deep interest of the alumni during the season has been most encouraging and a practical continued on fourth page once again lehigh's hopes have been crushed once again the brown and white team has lost but was not beaten on saturday after noon in the presence of a mighty host lehigh lost one of the most brilliant and hotly contested games of her football history by a score of 11 to 0 lafayette defeated her old enemy a marvelous slipping twisting turning return of a punt by marshall which brought the ball to lehigh's 8-yard line followed by three quick smashes outside of tackle and end for a touchdown and subsequent goal ; a recovery of a fumble by kelly and a mad race of 55 yards — this represents the scoring done in a clean hard ti tanic battle once in two years this town is invaded by a football horde sat urday witnessed a friendly invasion from philadelphia and new york principally came the thousands from early morn until the time of the game train after train brought lehigh and lafayette adherents by the thousands the town graceful ly and cheerfully capitulated to every whim of the football army on to lehigh field was the cry thousands ran pell-mell helter skelter across the campus to the gridiron oval at 1.30 o'clock a few hundreds were scattered over the stands in dead silence but as the time passed the crowds increas ed in volume vast streams of hu manity poured into the field at all entrances the lehigh and lafay ette cheering sections were on the same side of the field and on the opposite side were the alumni of both institutions suddenly and without warning a sharp-eyed le high youth espied a brown and white jersey emerging from the corner of the field with a jump and a scream he cried here they come it was an electric spark in an instant the lehigh portion of the big concourse was on its feet a mighty mass of waving brown and white and emitted a roar that equalled niagara's ever rushing thunder the big brown team swung on the field and with cap tain wylie at its head trotted to mid-field the appearance of the lehigh team was the fore-runner of a vast upheaving storm of cyclonic enthu siasm that raged for more than two continued on third page hours and finally died away when the bruised and exhausted men had clashed in the last scrimmage and the crowds were flooding from the field then came lafayette the other part of the crowd was on its feet another eruption of cheers and shouts more floating of ban ners and swaying of pennants as captain dannehower and his sturdy team trotted on the field it was the annual lehigh-lafay ette football game an event made classic by years of honorable fight ing both teams expected to win compared man to man it is doubt ful if two teams were ever more evenly matched but the god of luck was with lafayette except for five minutes in the third period he favored neither team but during those five minutes he gave his hand to lafayette and enabled the ma roon and white team to score eleven points for more than three-fourths of the first half the ball was in la fayette territory and the maroon and white was distinctly outplayed during the second half play was about even sometimes one team having the advantage sometimes the other and so it happens that lehigh lost but was not beaten a grand spectacle was furnished the crowd between halves when the entire lehigh student body led by the bethlehem steel co.'s band marched around the field and form ed an l in the center of the grid iron a great battle it was a fierce conflict clean fair honorable both teams played fiercely from start to finish with neither being especially on the defense every man in the game fought and fought his hard est of the thirty odd athletes who contested for victory vela played the best defensive game by a good margin time and again captain dannehower with three men as interference tried to circle vela's end only to have the brown and white veteran elude the inter ference and nail the lafayette lead er for a loss pazzetti played his best game of the season the little quarter-back was ever on the alert his punts were always for a good distance and accurately placed and he usually ran back kelly's punts for 20 yards or more thus making of little value the long spirals of the there will not be the usual change m the recitation hours after the thanksgiving vacation the recess closes at 7.45 a m mon day

the sturdy le high rooters had gone mad prior to the smoker every alumnus and every student was worked up to the highest enthusiasm and if there was any spirit lacking the deficien cy was surely made up by the stir ring talks unfortunately coach reiter was unable to be there ow ing to his presence at the training camp and although there were many other notable talks his cus tomary oration was greatly missed not only was the spirit there but also numbers for every available space even the rafters were quick ly taken up by the true sons of le high vice-president emery start ed the spirit of the evening when he read a cablegram from dr drinker in hong kong which con tained the short but meaning words best wishes the popular vice president called the attention of those present to the fact that any success so far this season has been almost entirely due to prof wilson who takes care of the money end of athletics he concluded by saying that lafayette comes as our guests as well as our rivals and he sincere ly hoped that lehigh will meet them well treat them well and beat them well the next number was a boxing bout between burke and freder icks both from south bethlehem with jimmy mahoney as referee the two seemed evenly matched and the first two rounds saw neither with the advantage but burke plain ly had the advantage during the last round prof franklin was the second speaker
