hold first class meeting next saturday afternoon the first football game of the season will be played on taylor field ursinus being the opponents the original intention of opening the season on september 28 was abandoned only because of inability to secure a suit able team to oppose the brown and white grid men last year the ursinus game re sulted in a 13-7 victory for lehigh the ursinus eleven being exception ally strong thus far this season the collegeville team has palyed but one game being defeated 66-0 by rutgers last saturday practice during the past week has done much to develop the lehigh team and it has rounded into shape very well both signal work and scrimmage were held last week the cool clear weather aiding materi ally in the work two squads picked of the most promising candidates will be organ ized soon for scrimmage in this way coach keadiy will be able to select the team which is to face ursinus on saturday as to the backfield it is almost a certainty that wysocki will carry the back field burdens with heinzelman the easton high star on one side of him and either ray dowd sam webb or gus savaria taking care of the other backfield position nolan will most likely drive the squad at quarterback with pfeiffer saxman booth spagna and goldman on the line these men have been showing up very well lately but the lineup for the game is still uncertain the ursinus team has been greatly hampered this year the only veteran being captain paul isenberg at fullback the rest of the team is made up largely of freshmen the probable ursinus lineup will be as follows moser left end roth left tackle ; moore left guard ; walton center ; letz right guard ; fenstamacher right tackle ; newitt right end mccarraher quarter back hefren left halfback gansch right

understandi ing of freshmen regulations the president first announced that there would be no founder's day sports this year this action was taken due to the fact that all holidays are to be-utilize^l for work and study inasmuch as the students are being rushed through their courses as soon as possible it was also learned that the freshmen through the leniency of the other classes are permitted to go out alone on friday saturday and sunday nights another matter discussed was whether or not freshmen should wear hats on sundays after foun der's day since it would be the thirteenth of october before they would have an opportunity to dis card their fresh caps on sunday it was decided to wear them that day to avoid discussion if the army uni forms had not arrived by that time r w ludlow managing editor of the bronw and white was then introduced to make an announce ment he desired to interest the freshmen to enter the contest for reporters on the brown and white the contest will be held until november first at which time six freshmen will be chosen for re porting work if that many have turned in satisfactory material junior class elections one hundred and fifty-three new names
