lafayette in one spring sport presents itself to morrow afternoon when the netmen of the rival colleges clash on the lehigh courts in the second match of the series last saturday the two teams tied 3 - 3 in the first match on the courts at easton but captain beck is confident that the brown and white racquet-wielders can defeat their rivals on the faster courts to which they are more ac customed the courts used last saturday on college hill were in very poor condition and the lehigh players were badly handicapped mena shumway mitchell and yilsack will probably journey to bethlehem to

three of the six matches played the lebigh net men journeyed to easton with the lehigh ball-tossers and although they did not win the majority of matches they fared a little better than the lehigh nine giving the eastonians as good as they receiv ed however the score might have been decidedly different had the la fayette courts been in any kind of condition to say that they were in very poor shape is hardly an ade quate enough term to express their condition they were nothing but loose dirt and apparently had never been rolled the result was that the ball was practically dead which greatly impeded the playing of the lehigh men who are used to a fast hard-clay court . although wentz was the only one to come through in the singles the lehigh racquet wielders came back strong in the doubles taking both sets the summary : singles mena lafayette defeated beck lehigh 6-2 6-3 shumway lafayette defeated beale lehigh 6-1 4-6 6 - 4 mitchell of lafayette defeated church lehigh 6 - 2

the parlor of the girl's home he real ized his forget fulness as soon as he got outside and determined that he would not leave without it but also determined that he would not re turn for it himself various pass ers-by were asked to go into the house after the hat but each one suspected that something was wrong and would not oblige the english man many amusing reasons were offered by the various passers-by why they would not enter the house after many unsuccessful attempts and much arguing the englishman at last returned himself and the act closed with he and his girl singing a duet in the parlor the part of the englishman was played with great ability by b e rh'oads 23 and the english style of speech and action was performed with perfect naturalness t m switz 22 took the part of the
