time without any supervision coach hunter had played lacrosse in canada and was consequently ready to make the best team possible of the material on hand nearly all the men who played positions regular ly this year had played last year and were much more capable in handling sticks which seems to be one of the main qualifications the opening game of the season may come under the class of an exhibition game for it was in reality for our junior week visitors this game played with swarthmore on april 23 resulted in a 4-3 victory over our oppon ents our next game was away with the navy and we were de feated by a score of 4-1 as the naval academy is not considered a member of the intercollegiates our chances for winning the cham pionship were still good on may 3 at home we won from stevens institute 9-2 and may 10 witness ed another victory over swarth more 2-1 on their own field but the collapse of our hopes came when our old rival johns hopkins trimmed us 7-2 on taylor field the johns hopkins-lehigh game usually decides the intercollegiate championship and a hard battle may always be expected this year we were more or less outclass ed by our opponents we were able to hold our own during the first half when the score gave neither side much advantage but when the southerners gained they could afford to take many chances which resulted favorably the season closed with the perm game may 31 played in our own stadium the final score was 2-1 after a hard fought extra period game nesselbush and reynolds scored most of the goals for the brown and white and captain jenness
