men from last year's team a number of last year's squad and many new men the present season opens a new epoch in lehigh football history for the first time in nine years a rtfew head coach comes to lehigh the present season is not important so much for the change in coaches but for the fact that an entirely new system is being introduced at lehigh the details of which are in another column of this paper although at lehigh only three weeks coach glick has already earned to a remarkable degree the good-will and liking of players and students alike this spirit augurs well for a satisfactory season not only this year but in following years in his first year at lehigh coach glick is faced by a difficult task only five letter men remain from last year's team and the material from the squad of last year is not over-promising this makes it necessary to fill many gaps with green material the development of which must proceed slowly with this material to start with lehigh faces one of her hardest schedules in recent years : rutgers perm state washington and jefferson and west virginia being played on successive saturdays the lafayette game is the end to which all lehigh schedules are pointed and this year the develop ment of the team will be toward this goal four hard contests in a row make top form in early season difficult but when the 19th of no vember arrives lehigh should be represented by a hard-fighting well drilled and experienced combina tion , coxtinuep on page three the new material is large in num bers and shows much promise a mong the men who have been show ing up
