won by a sensa tional shot from a difficult angle by ritter who played a good game throughout the score at the end of the first half stood 16 to 11 in favor of the allentownians then coach muthart talked to the brown and white men and they came back strong in the second period brews ter started the ball rolling in the sec ond half by shooting two pretty floor goals and green tied the score with a foul shot this seemed to give the lehigh quintet a little more confidence in themselves and the game from that point on was one of give and take and indeed it was only a few sec onds before the whistle blew that muhlenberg was able to forge a hf*ad but it was too late for the crown and white had they been allowed a minute more to play the score would surely have been tied for lehigh the

time enough to run down the floor and add a field goal to the score off and on during the game and when the final whis tle blew they had totaled more points than their opposing forwards toward the end
