              midshipmen have been defeated twice — strong in heavy classes two previous victories of the brown and white quintet make it a decided favorite over the squad from down the river to petition faculty for three day spring so cial function second half showed lehigh quintet in all its power its opponents failing to net a single field goal during that period many tea dances

selected college leaders from lafayette and rutgers are to be enter tained at lehigh at the next meeting of omicron delta kap pa at which time definite plans will be laid for the establish ment of circles at those col leges the burden of this task falls upon the lehigh circle because during the past year it was the most active in the en tire national organization the lehigh body will also be instru mental in the establishment of circles at swarthmore univer sity of pennsylvania williams and wesleyan some time was devoted to a discussion of the possibility of restoring the honor system at

the idea of a change in the rushing system has been dropped in anticipa tion of conditions which it is lehigh's wrestling team will journey to annapolis tomor row to face the naval academy matmen this is the last meet prior to the intercollegiate com petition at the university of pennsylvania the midshipmen boast of a strong team having been de feated but twice this year one of these defeats being at the hands of perm state last week incidentally yale was among the many victims who were compelled to acknowledge the superiority of the future ad mirals the lehigh grapplers have not been able to score a victory over the naval acad emy in three years and a de feat at the hands of the brown and white matmen would bring no small amount of pleasure to lehigh continued on page four navy is exceptionally good in the heavier classes and hopes as a result to overcome any lead the bethlehem light weights might be able to obtain in the lighter weights coach sheridan as before is pinning his hopes on the invincible mc govern-reed-heilman trio the best bout of the meet will prob ably occur in the 135-lb class between crittendon and heil man it will be remembered that crittendon in the annual meet last year succeeded in throwing lewis the runner-up of the 1926 intercollegiate com next saturday night at eight o'clock in taylor gymnasium lehigh will meet lafayette in basketball for the third time this winter the game will be more or less of a consolation final for lafayette as the brown and white has already won two of the three games by scores which leave little doubt as to the result of the forth coming contest in the last game lafayette was held vir tually powerless by a lehigh team that has grown steadily better throughout the season the line-up for lehigh will be the same as that which play ed against the eastonites last week although coach geary will probably use all of the men in the game to whom he desires to give letters the lafayette line-up will also remain the same with leisenring and chi menti as forwards atkinson at center and mcguire and grube at the guard positions this is the next to the last home game for lehigh juniata being the other home opponent the last game will be played away at swarthmore judging by comparative scores it looks as though the brown and white will go through the remainder of the season undefeated the guarding of billmeyer and ber man in the last few contests has been almost impregnable and this with the kind of shoot ing that smith billmeyer and schaub have been displaying will make a team worthy of any opponent lehigh's fast traveling bas ketball team journeyed to hav erford on tuesday where it swamped the quintet of that college 39-13 this victory gives lehigh 4 straight all of them by large scores through out the entire game lehigh's superiority was clearly evi dent but it was especially so during the second half in which haverford did not score a field goal and only five fouls the first half was rather ragged with lehigh missing many shots for the basket af ter very fast but sometimes rather erratic passing after being defeated by princeton last saturday by the narrow margin of four points haver ford came into the game show ing great confidence but soon had its hopes dimmed when lehigh rushed into an early lead the first half ended with the score 17 to 8 in favor of lehigh after the rest between halves the lehigh team seem ed even stronger and started the fireworks immediately clean snappy passing clever handling of the ball and ex cellent shooting rapidly increas ed the score lehigh's guards were invincible in this half not allowing a single field goal e schaub contributed many thrills to the spectators by sinking five beautiful long shots none pf which touched the rim oth erwise the scoring was well distributed and the whole team played well both individually and as a whole this half was featured by close refereeing many fouls being called bill continued on
