swarthmore as has lehigh the navy game with the indian resulted in a tie score while swarth more succeeded in winning their in dian game with the score 2 to 1 lehigh's game with the navy was the opening game of the season and can not be referred to as a fair ex ample of ability the recent game with swarthmore and the resulting victoiw is a fitting example of what can be expected on saturday it is true that lehigh has one or two on the crippled list viz : dunn who has a broken arm and will be unable to play and white who sus tained injuries on the head which may keep him out of the game the probable line-up of the indians shows many old men of past ex perience and such conditions tend toward an exciting exhibition of real lacrosse in the first game of the inter class lacrosse series

defeated by such a score can be overlooked lie cause as much was to be expected from half the varsity team the 1916 defense was unable to cope with the strong and consistent at tacks of their opponents and the 1914 team scored almost at will nor was the sophomore attack able to penetrate the sturdy defense of the seniors lladaway was the chief scorer for the seniors caging four goals jay
