to actively work for the fund on the return to their re spective institutions this action the conference felt will bring be fore the washington conference a practical example of the fact that world

the end of the game fernandez drove into the goal for the final tally on a pass from walters the keystoners started off with a rush and for a time kept the ball in lehigh territory lehigh seemed unable to get started until finally the forward line worked the ball up the field and bonnemaison lo cated the net on a pretty pass from fernandez this seemed to give the brown and white some real enthu siasm and after that the visitors were kept busy with lehigh's at tack toward the close of the half fernandez broke through the de fense and when the goal-tender came out to meet him he dribbled past and shot into an open net the half ended with the score 2 to 0 in lehigh's favor the soccer team bad little trouble in defeating the keystone f c of eastor saturday afternoon before the football game by a 5 to 0 score the visitors were outplayed during the entire contest and lehigh's fast passing game had them completely bewildered country and the world to real a chievements a great service

on page three playing their best game of the season lehigh won from the big heavy west virginia mountaineers by a 21 to 14 score saturday after noon on taylor field although greatly outweighed and consequent ly out-rushed coach glick's little gang won by a sparing and oppor tune use of the forward pass two of their touchdowns were made pos sible by judicious use of a pass the third was made on a recovery of a fumble the contest was featured by start ling plays which kept the large crowd on edge but the feature play came when larkin caught a short pass on his 30-yard line and ran 65 yards through the west virginia team to his opponents 5-yard line during his run he escaped being tackled several times by clever side stepping and np.tr the goal-line he turned to the left to avoid several tacklers and was downed from be hind two line-bucks by cousins carried the ball over and the game was won the faults which were conspicu ous in the state and w and j games were lacking and the brown and white played the best football they have shown this year and this in spite of the fact that several of the best players are out of the game with injuries hardy at quar ter was a great improvement ; un der his direction the plays went off better while his judgment of the plays was also good the fumbling which marred earlier games was ab sent and the lehigh players fol lowed the ball closely several times recovering fumbles by the oppo sition lehigh again showed that the for ward pass is its best weapon by making two of their touchdowns possible by this route completing a number of passes for good gains some large gains were also made through the line but here the brown and white was outweighed and at times outplayed it would be difficult to say which of lehigh's players did the best work but bessemer greer and har dy all played well in the backfield and read did some neat tackling around end the halfbacks backed up the line wel,l when the w va players broke through continued on page four the statistics show w ya made 12 first downs to 5 for lehigh but this advantage was offset by le band dance pre-medical society meeting the past week-end was a big suc cess socially as well
