for the brown and white team the fickleness of the lehigk supporters was exhibited in sev eral cases by very unsportsman like conduct the cheering for lehigh men was enthusiastic but poor sportsmanship was shown when palm lost on a close decision and when cornell men used their well-known hug it was all right how ever for a lehigh man to hold his opponent to the mat in the estimation
