lehigh has been under the manage ment of the soccer association and has during that time put up a re markable showing for a sport that received almost no support from the university athletic association soccer was not recognized as a form of athletics at lehigh but car ried itself along on its own merits and the support given it by the stu dait body regardless of these facts the team did exceedingly well and at the start of last year which was the second one was placed in the blue mountain league an a chievement which reflects well on the soccer association the blue mountain league is composed of such teams as the bethlehem re serves nativity f c lafayette easton f c allentown east banr gor lehighton pen argyl and the standard a a this year things have changed at a meeting of the athletic asso ciation last spring it was voted that soccer be made a minor sport at lehigh by this soccer receives some support from the college at large other than that received from individual

october 7th cross-country candidates carlisle team has one victory and one tied game to its credit close game expected probable lehigh line-up same as that used against ursinus last year lehigh defeated the in dians by the score of 21 to 6 to date the indians have played two games this season ; defeating al bright college 21 to 7 and being held to a scoreless tie by lebanon valley college last saturday in the latter game the aborigines were somewhat handicapped by being mi nus two of the regular varsity — hawk eagle at guard and henry broker at quarter-back both of these men will be in the game to morrow and will greatly strengthen the team although surprised by their showing against lebanon val ley they are not discouraged the indians realize that they have a hard game to-morrow and are coming here with the desire to avenge themselves for the defeat which they sustained last year dur ing the week much time was spent at signals which were changed in preparation for the lehigh game several new plays which have prov en effective in scrimmage have also been perfected calac the power ful redskin whose work featured last year's game and who was men tioned last season as one of the best backfield men in the country is captain of the team this year on the whole coach keady is satisfied with the form shown by the lehigh men thus far in the sea son especially gratifying is the work of the two dozen new re cruits from among whom he hopes to develop the material to boost up the weak spots on the eleven coach keady during the week devoted much time to the second and third teams his object being to develop extra half-backs and ends the bucking strap for half-backs and tackling the dummy for linemen were brought out for the first time this week considerable time was also spent in breaking up forward passes hallowell the midget substitute quarter-back got into the game for the first time on tuesday and he drove the men with his old-time magnetic power halsted the var sity full-back has recovered from his attack of tonsilitis but a bad ankle will keep him out of the in dian game comparing the work of the two teams thus far this season lehigh appears to be the better team on paper and should emerge from the game victorious however choos ing the winning team by comparing records is rather unreliable for in football so many unexpected things can happen and thereby shatter all the dope one thing though is certain that to-morrow will witness a game well worth seeing the probable line-up of the teams is as follows : indians lehigh crane 1 c green welmas 1

maginnes mandolin club rehearsal next wednesday at 1.30 p m notice every cross-country candidate should report to captain burke on taylor field this afternoon at 4.15 o'clock important practice the usual fall lacrosse practice will start next tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock the squad will be in charge of one of last year's varsity l men the primary object of this fall practice is to get the new men ac quainted with the proper method of handling a lacrosse stick and a fun damental idea of the game so that when coach grimes arrives in the spring regular practice can start immediately only six of last year's 11 men are in college this year which leaves six vacancies to be filled next spring this is an unusual oppor tunity for nncrw r men as lacrosse is the one sport in w t hich very few men who enter lehigh have had any previous experience the large building now in the process of construction at the foot of the campus on the corner of brodhead and packer avenues is being erected by the
