twenty-two students and one faculty member con on page 4 col 3 the lambda chi alpha fra ternity is also a comparatively new organization having been founded in 1909 it now has over seventy chapters in all parts of the country its rapid growth has been a healthy ohe at twelve o'clock tomorrow on taylor field the frosh gridders open their last game of the season it will be against the lafayette yearlings although its season has not been markedly successful the class of 30 has put a team on the field which functioning properly gives an excellent ac count of itself it was severely beaten last week by a team which would be a stiff oppon ent for any freshman team in the country in some respects the defeat accomplished much because it vividly shocked the men to a realization of their shortcomings and this week has seen them earnestly striv ing in preparation for this la fayette game — the game which has been the ultimate goal thru out the season the lafayette frosh have had an extremely successful season being as yet undefeated and from comparative scores of the various games in which they and the home freshmen have participated it appears as if the maroon yearlings would have the edge by a margin of about four touchdowns although the mercersburg game witnessed much rough playing no players were injur ed and this fact combined with the return of twigger who has been out of action because of an injured shoulder galonos who was lost for the best part of the season through the effect of an injured ankle and matt who was recently injured brightens the prospect for tomorrow's game con on page 2 col 3 monday afternoon the team ran through a signal practice and on tuesday the future varsity stars could be seen scrimmaging on the upper field in all the rain and mud

with lafayette it was finally de cided that the printing of the agreement in the brown and white together with the distri bution of copies of at at the col lege lecture would insure the cooperation of the students in carrying out its articles a report on the arcadia dance held last saturday was read by the commitee in charge of the affair because of the poor attendance a slight loss was suffered

kickoff to the swarthmore soccermen on the swarthmore field this game the next to the last of the season brings the lehigh men into the fray with a slight edge on the main line team if comparative scores are a reliable indication swarth more went down to a 2-1 de jfeat before the onslaught of the army booters and the ca dets bowed in defeat to the hard kicking brown and white men by a score of 2-0 con on page 4 col 6 last saturday the home boot ers suffered the sting of defeat administered by the undefeated navy team it was a close game with the men from an napolis finally winning by a 2-1
