second half held onto the ball without making any great attempt to score field goals they have always been very accurate foul shooters winning many games on these pointers in past sea sons although

explanations and witty side re marks among other things he brought to the attention of the gathering was the fact that al though there are sixty men out for fencing at lehigh they have been forced to content themselves with the instruc tions of a student coach the quality of this coaching is evi denced by their winning from lafayette in 25 and 26 and tying last season but now that lafayette has a professional coach he strongly urges that we procure one also and rec commended a m bouckmans who will be at philadelphia af ter the first of the year he also remarked that although this was the first
