enthusi astic crowd of the season outplay ing the big scarlet team in every department of the game the brown and white stickmen had little diffi culty in sending eleven counters through the net and as easily held their opponents scoreless although the rutgers defense held the lehigh stickmeni to three goals in the first period they fell before the onslaught of the lehigh attack in the second session and before the final whistle coach o'neill had substituted a complete scrub team that continued the battering at the rutgers goal assuming the offense at the ini tial face-off lehigh's attack kept the ball in the vicinity of the visi tors goal for practically the entire game the attack of the scarlet team exhibited poor passing and stickwork during both periods and the few times they

counters the brown and white defense trio maurer bush and jenness offered strong resistance to any rutgers player en deavoring to pass the center of the field and seldom has ibetter body checking been seen on taylor field than that displayed by these three veterans eddie gonzales started the scor ing in the first half by sending a beautiful long shot by lindsey in less than three minutes of play rutgers retaliated by slipping past lehigh's defense but their endeav ors to get within striking distance were unsuccessful wilson recov ering the ball sent it sailing up the field to lehigh's attack and for sev eral minutes the play was centered in rmidi field jenness by clever dodging carried the ball nearer the scarlet goal and a real battle en sued 1 , but tries for a score by shulz continued

faltering a called third strike on donovan end ed the game the ball looked low from the stands and the fact that it should have been a strike was displayed by the many protests it was a poor endimg to

fiekl and good all around play however lehigh matched their performance and showed good baseball with several good plays and some timely hitting the hitting honors were slightly in favor of state with nine safeties state bunched three singles and a home run for four runs in the seventh which with another home-run ac counted for their tallies continued on page three the visitors out-field was one of the main factors in their victory for six innings lehigh batters were hitting miller state's first hairier but their efforts at hits were gen erally cut off by good outfield work lees got a bad start at the be ginning of the game when the vis itors filled the bases without hitting a ball out of the infield a hit bats mani a walk and an iofield hit to savaria put three men on then came the best play of the game rintz hit a sharp bounder at rote who came in fast for it trapping the ball neatly near the pitcher's box he threw to sehring for the scarlet track team scores 28 points in meet at
