entire contest — score 11-3 first half lehigh schedule decided upon one open date remains — reforms introduced final tally 33-14 brown and white handicapped by absence of frain and maurer in line-up this afternoon the swimming team will leave for west point as this is the first time lehigh has ever met the west point mermen much interest has been aroused as to the outcome because although too early to judge west point is reputed to have a fast team the squad will arrive at west point in the early evening and will be entertained later at a dance on saturday afternoon the meet will take place and although not over confident the squad expects to re turn home victorious the men have been training very hard during the week correcting errors made in the rutgers meet and practicing new strokes so that they will enter the tank at west point ready for action the trials have been run off dur ing the week and it is almost a cer tainty that the men who competed against rutgers last saturday will again represent lehigh these men are vannort gangewere 50 yard schaeffer and poor 100 yards jacobs and schaeffer 220 yards arner and regad plunge straub dive jacobs gangewere davis and vannort relay state geologist will speak on sunday this saturday the basketball team plays its first important game of the season on the home floor when rutgers will be met so far this season the more important games have been played away which probably has to do with the several defeats sustained although losing to lafayette last saturday the game was close and lafayette's margin of three points does not represent any superiority over the brown and white but rather a better knowledge of their home floor this court was un usual in shape being long and nar row the work of lehigh in this game was good the guarding in particular being close the squad gives evidence of having perfected team work and saturday's game should bring out some good basket ball rutgers will bring a team which is said to be fairly strong in spite of a one-sided defeat by the navy the star player of last year's strong team french is missing but his place is filled by another player of a good deal of ability this for ward is benzoni who scored all of the team's points against the navy and has al'so done well in othei games dormani a guard is also playing well 1 he rutgers team has not played many games to date on a south ern trip they lost to the navy 38-13 but beat johns hopkins the next day 23-13 the following is the probable lineup of the two teams : rutgers lchigh benzonii forward liragle erander

double deckers dabezies came next with four while french and pfeffer had three and two res pectively the army team did not start off with much speed and the game was rather close for a little while at the end of the first twenty minutes of battling army was leading by a 11-3 score although lehigh had scored all of her points by means of fouls in the second half the ca dets began to pick up and soon drew away from lehigh making sure of the winner the cadets went fast for the first part of the second half and had a big lead when the lehigh five rallied and managed to drop in three field goals

usual played a strong game he stuck to his mani in good shape and held him down to a very few goals lingle took chances from the 15 foot mark but did not do as well as he generally does he got off to a bad start and only caged three goal 1 out of 11 chances in the first half but came back strong in the last half and scored five out of seven attempts this defeat makes the fifth one for the brown
