game on wednesday afternoon at the steel field in hanging up this triumph the lehigh soccer team rounded out an eight year stretch of consecutive undefeats in their annual clash with the men from down the river although playing a game that did not equal that of their op ponents the brown and white aggregation came up to par at every tight pinch and put their breaks to splendid advantage a long shot by wagner in the opening minutes of play shot neatly through the corner of the goal chalking up the first and decisive tally with the confidence of a lead in their favor the home team went af ter the ball with an enthusiasm that almost netted another goal but as the half closed lehigh has settled back to a let up that stuck with them through the remainder of the game although they were on the point of scor ing on several occasions thru out the second period and the last half lafayette was insis tently hammering at the le high goal but to no material avail the magnificent play of damiani at goal saved the day for lehigh time after time when disaster seemed certain on two occasions he was hemmed in continued on page five pi delta epsilon has convention lithographs pre sented to lehigh tomorrow evening at seven o'clock the basketball team opens its season with the hahn emann medical college as their opponents this is a new team on the brown and white sched ule so that little can be told about the relative strength of the two teams however the lehigh squad has been practic ing hard for the past four weeks and is rapidly developing into a very smoothly working combination which after a few more games should be all set for the hard games to be play ed after christmas among the most important of which are those with the army the navy and princeton since this is the opening game coach geary will un doubtedly try out a number of different combinations to en deavor to find out which works the best so that a large num ber of men will most likely see action during the game how ever the most probable start ing line-up is hesse and many forwards marcus center and billmeyer and berman guards of these billmeyer berman and hesse are veterans of last year's team which won the championship of the middle at lantic states league and should form the nucleus of another championship team blake society holds meeting two seniors and two jun iors are elected into society percy wendell football men tor at lehigh for the past three years will not be a candidate for that position as his contract expired with the conclusion of the lafayette game having failed to avail himself of the op portunity to make the announce ment himself the board of con trol voted to disclose this infor mation after the meeting held monday evening that a radical change in the football coaching

the philadelphia athletics and hopes to be a member of the squad for the season his communication with regards to the year more of service for which he is contracted was laid on the table continued on page six the selection of an all-tay lor stadium team has been made this year by some un known lehigh football rooter and appeared in the bethlehem globe-times of november 22 since this choice of players is based entirely upon their play ing while on taylor field it is easily possible that a better team could be picked from among the men who have play ed here this fall but neverthe less the line-up proves inter esting and the following is the letter received by the globe times : since the season is at hand to pick all-americans and oth er alls i thought it might be appropriate to choose an all taylor stadium team which is composed of the best players who in my opinion have ap peared on the local gridiron this fall with this purpose in mind i believe that i have chos en two teams of about equal cal ibre although the first team of course includes the outstanding players this selection is ba"s ed entirely upon the play of the individuals in taylor stadium and therefore may not include some players on the various teams who have played better throughout the season the teams include lehigh players of course but the locals are not so well represented as i would like to see them which fact scarcely needs any explanation i have seen all the games ex cept a small part of the st john's game well here are the selections and i may add here that i don't expect any one to agree with me and i fear that you will receive lots of criticism if you run this in your column : first team atkinson lafayette e burnett lafayette t walls bucknell g mitchell bucknell c thompson lafayette g
