provement over last week's work on the other hand the team is not as weak as it appeared from last week's score as during the first twenty minutes of play neither side was the favorite the lack of con dition which was apparent has been materially improved thursday afiternoon the coach lined the probable first team against substitutes in a practice game shifting the men around to see what combination played best lacrosse while little is known concerning the baltimore team it is said to be fairly strong they won their opening game last week the probable line-up will be : lehigh

league has been lagging a little during the past week and no more games have been played there still remain three games in the third round to be played which should have been played last week today is the last day for the play ing of the semi-final games and it seems as though the league will not finish on schedule time it was hoped by those in charge that all games would be played in time for the finals to be staged sometime during the week before junior week that means that some of the fraternities who have not play ed their games within the schedul ed time will have to look into the matter and play them off just as soon as possible it is hoped that the plans of the athletic commit tee can be carried out and that the winner of the league can be an nounced before the students go home for

played by the brown and white it is expected to be one of the hardest contested matches of the schedule the university courts are in good condition for early spring playing they have been covered with loam and clay thus putting them in better shape than they were for any previous season the inclemency of the weather has not permitted the team to have any great amount of practice but an initial victory may be anticipat ed the team of four men will be chosen from hall estes mercur beck and warner it will present one of the most formidable line-ups that lehigh has had in the past few years the first of next week an elim ination series will take place for births on the permanent team no men will be permitted on the uni vesity courts in front of the physics building except those on the tennis squad one of the largest events that has ever been staged at lehigh will be staged this year when a huge alumni dinner will be given on june 11th at 7:30 o'clock at the kurtz restaurant in honor of dr h r price 70 the president of the university board of trustees over five hundred alumni are ex pected to be present and by the plans which have been made this dinner will be a marvelous success the

dinner the whole student body is expected to be organized into a monster parade which will leave the campus and go to the kurtz restaurant there they will give a hearty send-off for dr price and after being joined by the alumni will parade through bethlehem the college band has been engaged by the class of 95 to lead the parade and several other bands will probably be on hand to furnish music there will be an abundance of fire-works and torches to add to the general gaiety this parade is expected to be the foundation of a new custom at le high and in its present form is one of the most unique of its kind in the country at no other college is there any such custom as a midnight alumni parade and so by developing this lehigh will have one of the newest affairs in collegiate circles this plan how ever requires the utmost co-opera tion on the part of the student body and these men must take the matter in hand tomorrow the lehigh basebak team journeys to new york to meet the strong fordham nine on ford ham field last week the ford ham team returned from a rather successful southern tour losing only one contest out of five that defeat was administered by the georgetown nine by a close margin and after a hard-fought battle this week the forciham nine met several strong teams after suffering a 11-0 defeat at the hands of the new york giants they op posed the yale and colgate teams after a day's rest they face the lehigh team the victory of the new york giants on monday was a rather easy one and surprised a number of college baseball follow ers the new york pitchers had the whole fordham team at their mercy and let them down with four hits fanning ten in the mean time halloran the right fielder was the only man who connected safely more than once garnering a single and double in four trips to the platter buckley and cousineau were the other two suc cessful batters nehf the giant's premier twirler had no trouble at all with the fordham batters and turned them away from the plate in order on a number of occasions during his stay on the mound only two hits were registered and in addition to that nine men went out by the strike-out route lefevre the fordham third baseman had a big day in the field accepting six put outs and seven assists with only one error in making a survey of the ex cellent work done to date by some of the local artists mention must be made of mathag lehigh's star center fielder who has been lacing the pill extensively during the first three games and now leads the brown and white batters with an average of 545 he has connected with the ball safely on six occasions out of eleven official trips to the plate he also leads the team in runs scored having crossed the platter six times two other men are among the select 300 they are johnny lees and al yap yap has secured four hits out of eleven times at bat for an average of 363 while lees who has only taken part in one game maintains a 500 average with one hit out of two tries u timmy donovan stands next with 250 while beck and rote are tied at 231 lees is at present the leading pitcher with a percentage of 1.000 having won the game with lebanon valley dave pfeiffer stands next with an average of 500 get ting credit for winning the swarth niore game because he was in the box when lehigh scored the five runs and having the loss of the georgetown game counted against him because the winning run was secured from his delivery in the tenth frame so far swede continued on third page brown and white bethlehem pa friday april 16 1920 burr reorganizes at banquet price five
