lehigh and lafayette will meet for the tenth time this year it will be the task of the brown and white bas keteers to equal their record of last week in order to keep up the good work which they have done the maroon team is ex pected to put up a good fight as it is playing on its home floor but nevertheless in the light of last saturday's victory the brown and white team should have little difficulty in repeat ing last year's achievement by winning all three games the fact that the game will be played on a floor familiar to the maroon basketeers will be a decided factor in their favor bush adams and mcguire can be counted on to put up a very good game judging by the ex hibition they put up here last week lehigh however gath ered some experience on the leopard's floor last year and this experience should stand them in good stead the impending court strug gle is the second of the series to be played by the quintets representing these rivals next week the third and last game of

o'clock tomorrow afternoon the brown and white matmen led by captain jim mie reed will grapple with the strong yale team in the taylor gymnasium this meet marks the third consecutive year le high and yale have clashed on the mats and an intense riv alry exists between the two in stitutions . two years ago the blue matmen invaded lehigh and defeated the brown and white grapplers on their home grounds last season the le high matmen under the leader ship of captain ralph best intercollegiate 125-pound cham pion reciprocated by defeating yale at new haven conse quently saturday's meet will be more or less a deciding con test this will add much zest to the event * little or no definite informa tion has been obtained concern ing the strength of the yale team this year but it will un doubtedly be a strong one yale is fortunate in that it^usually has men from such schools as andover and exeter where wrestling is a major sport the yale team this year is led by captain miller intercollegiate 158-pound champion miller's phenomenal record of last year won him considerable renown and he is conceded by many to be the cleverest middleweight in college ranks combining skill strength and aggressive ness he is indeed a formidable opponent in the 175-pound class yale will be without their other 1926 champion russell who was graduated last june continued on page four coach sheridan is pinning his hopes on the lightweight grapplers namely mcgovern reed and heilman who will wrestle in the 115 125 and 135 pound classes respectively none of these three men has been defeated to date mcgov ern wrestling his first year on the varsity is handling him self like a champion captain year-book to be published early burr board holds special election tomorrow evening at seven thirty in taylor gymnasium the freshman wrestling team will meet liberty high school in what promises to be one of the best meets of the season liberty has an exceptionally strong team this year all of the members being veterans on the mat they have won all four of their meets so far by big margins beating such teams as franklin and marshall academy university of penn sylvania frosh and neptune high school the lehigh freshmen have done very well considering the lack of experienced material blair was defeated last satur day and the meet with brook lyn polytechnic the week be fore was lost by a small mar gin tryouts will be held be fore the coming meet but it is practically certain that the lineup will be the same as that which faced blair pappano captain of the high school team will wrestle silverman of lehigh in the 145 pound class this should be one of the best bouts of the af ternoon together with the match between jones lehigh's star and rabitz who has been a consistent winner for liberty last week the rifle team com peted in five dual meets win ning three from p m c western maryland and george town ; and losing one to v m i the result of the fifth the third corps area match is un known at present these vic tories are very encouraging in view of the fact that the team made a late start this season this was due to the fact that the range was not completed un til quite recently it is interesting to note that with the recent intensive prac tice the team made a score of 7704 out of a possible 8000 points in the sectional match held last week this is an im provement of 654 points over last year's score since the showing that the team makes in the third corps area match determines whether it is to be entered in the national colle giate r o t c rifle meet it is generally conceded that the team will experience no difficul ty in becoming eligible at the present time the rifle team is composed of the follow ing lieutenant taber coach simes captain ; dickerson rice cross palm schumaker givens hall hoehn prahop vaughan antem dykman bush hutchins noedel and gadd continued on page four captain simes is to be com plimented on the manner in which he has managed his team gadd's record of 788 out of a possible 800 points in a recent match indicates that he will be a big factor in the future sue new features in epitome subscription campaign under

entertainment of the celebration was tendered in the form of the basketball game with franklin and mar shall in which the brown and white team clowned the visi tors by the largest score of the year the victory of coach geary's charges over the franklin and marshall quintet was a fitting climax to lehigh's first winter home-coming day in a game which at one time threatened to result in a closely contested victory or even a defeat for the brown and white the lehigh basketeers emerged victorious by the overwhelming score of 49 to 25 although the lancaster ag gregation at no time held the lead their aggressive attack made them dangerous through out the first half of the con test the remaining period however told a different story the superior ability and coach ing of the bethlehemites was soon evidenced when the mar gin between the two scores gradually began to widen aid ed by the exceptionally fine playing of smith and e schaub who contributed eight and six baskets respectively to lehigh's total score the brown and white quickly clinched the victory billmeyer's sensation al baskets from mid-court sev eral times thrilled the specta tors who overcrowded the newly remodeled gymnasium the game was under way some two minutes before any scoring occurred on either side after several unsuccessful stabs at the basket which were skill fully frustrated by the oppos ing guards e schaub finally managed to score the initial goal for the lehigh cagemen after some clever passing both teams seemed to be inspired by this two-pointer and the score quickly mounted with lehigh in the lead the franklin and marshall five undaunted per sisted with a dangerous attack until they succeeded in tying the score at 11-11 at this stage of the contest e schaub quick ly broke the tie with a field goal which was followed by one of billmeyer's brilliant bas kets from mid-court baskets continued to be registered by both aggregations until the half ended with the score 19 to 14 in lehigh's favor the start of the second half looked somewhat gloomy for the brown and white as rob erts franklin and marshall cen ter registered a field goal with the period but thirty seconds gone a basket by washick from the seventeen-foot mark brought the blue and white within two points of tying the score a spectacular play by smith who after intercepting a pass dribbled the ball thru the entire opposing team and scored a field goal brought the crowd to its feet after this the outcome of the fray was no longer in doubt the brown and white continued to in crease its lead at the expense of the practically helpless blue junior honorary holds meeting at a meeting of the arcadia held last monday evening in drown hall several important measures were considered j gordon ridsdale was elected president of the representative group and in addition several vacant places in the various committees were filled the body also issued a formal state ment protesting against the in crease in tuition that is sched uled to take effect next fall in sofar as the present classes would be affected the adopted motion reads as follows that the arcadia goes on record as petitioning the board of trustees that the one hundred dollar increase in tuition apply only to the class of 1931 and subsequent classes the arcadia's reason for pe titioning the board was that some men have budgeted their expenses for their four years in college and may be forced to drop out if the increase goes into effect it is not likely that the petition will be favorably acted upon however for the board gave the measure ample consideration before the in crease was passed in addition to this a year's notice was giv en to all students in order that they could make allowance for the increase in tuition neil sullivan was made a member of both the board of athletics and the publications committee ; herbert harmon was elected to the booster com mittee and james morrison succeeded to the vacancy in the students club
