speaks at meeting of graduate students led by chick halsted and al ware lehigh fought its way to a 25-0 win over a powerful pennsyl vania military college eleven in taylor stadium saturday afternoon before a record-breaking early sea son crowd the brown and white team clicked and unleashed an at tack that swept the visitors aside lehigh played straight football practically all afternoon and so successful were the ground plays that quarterback tom nora rarely took to the air p m c fought desperately but was unable to cope with the home team the brown and white line opened the cadet forward line on the offense and opened holes that were large enough to drive through for good gains on nearly every play lehigh line strong defensively lehigh presented a stone wall that stopped the visi tor's offensive plays this was es pecially true in the last quarter when p m c vainly tried passes which were either grounded or in tercepted by the alert brown and white secondary the visitors threatened only once when a long pass brennan to warren late in the second quarter placed the ball deep in lehigh territory on the 13 yard line however three successive passes were grounded and a fourth was completed on the 10 yard marker but it was not enough and lehigh gained possession of the ball ware halsted and nora were the stars of the lehigh attack re peatedly ploughing through the cadet forwards for sustantial gains sam jones a relative newcomer in lehigh football was also a consis tent ground gainer ed gormley captained the team for the first part of the game how ever on several plays he was too fast for his interference catching up to them and being blocked coach tate used his second string backs for virtually the whole fourth period and they showed to good advantage sindel and doer ing in particular made several good gains two cadets star for p m c walt layer cap tain of last year's team and bud kern stood out the former was a consistent thorn in the side of the brown and white eleven he was a good ground gainer and continually stopped the lehigh offense the game was dotted with many penalties lehigh being the great est offender and losing 80 yards through this medium p m c had one major penalty when brennan was detected clipping hall from the rear in accordance with the custom started against ursinus coach tate apointed a captain before the game and this time it was sam hall who led the brown and white to vic tory lehigh started right off with the opening whistle when halsted re ceived the kick-off and ran the ball back to the 27-yard mark nora made a first down and ware trying to pass decided to carry the ball himself and skirted left end for 22 yards halsted made ten yards on two thrusts off tackle and then received a pass from ware a yard from the goal and stepped across for the first score his drop-kick went wide of the mark the second tally came early in the second quarter after nora had intercepted brennan's pass a sin gle exchange of punts followed and after a series of off-tackle plays by ware and halsted the latter carried the ball over from the 22 yard line on fourth down ware's placement was wide for the remainder of the half the teams battled on practically ev en terms due to the number of substitutions made by coach tate second half slow the second half started slowly but the lehigh offense began to function when the quarter was about half over and they began a sustained drive from their own 41 yard mark that terminated when halsted scurried across from the 18 yard line unmolsted the final score came shortly aft erward when andrew received ware's kickoff on the ten yard line and ran it back 20 yards before he futnbled and issel recovered the ball for lehigh within a few plays nora slipped off tackle and ran across • continued on page four africa is not so hot tomlinson fort head of the de partment of mathematics and as tronomy was speaking of the wea ther rather than expressing disgust in modern
