close battle has not been between these two teams for some time and it brought back the old lehigh-lafayette spirit time again the main factor in lafayette's victory was probably the foul shooting of reeves this sturdy guard was responsible for 10 of the eighteen points by this method his accurate eye from the foul mark enabled him to drop ten fouls thru the net out of eleven attempts there were no stars ini the game at all as the playing of all the men was practically of the same calibre for lehigh lingle secured the greatest number of points making a good record from the fifteen-foot mark
