the score was 43 to 28 lehigh put up a good game but were outclassed on the scoring end mainly through the fast work of benzoni the rutgers for ward 1 . the lehigh guards were un able to hold this player in check dur ing the first half and he ran up an individual score of 19 points rutgers jumped into the lead at the start of the game and was never headed gradually increasing their lead the brown and white play ers seemed rather lost on the strange court and many fouls were called personal fouls forcing snyder to leave the game in all fifteen per sonal fouls were called on the le high players harper and lees put up a good game for lehigh each scoring 3 field goals while henschen did some good guarding while in the game the individual star of the game however was benzoni his 29 points scored during his stay in the game topping lehigh's total by one while he only had one foul called on him at the beginning of the second half the score stood 23 to 12 in fa vor of rutgers and the regular rut gers men were gradually withdrawn and a substitute team finished rut gers was held practically even dur ing this half lehigh putting on a spurt near the end of the game which netted several points lehigh rutgers lingle r.'f benzoni snyder l f enander lees c detlinger harper r g dornan light l g karib scoring : field goals — benzoni 7 etnander 2 detlinger 1 dornan 3 karib 2 lingle

in the taylor pool when the lehigh tank team swamped the strong rutgers team by a score of 42 to 29 two of the records were broken by mem bers of the lehigh squad while geibel the mainstay of the rut gers natators lowered the former mark in the 100-yard dash by s}i seconds geibel was the high scor er of the meet placing first in all three of his events which were in cidentally the only first places taken by rutgers in the 200-yard relay van nort lost about three yards to geibel thjs lead was steadily increased by the next two rutgers men until col ville had a good eight-yard lead on harmon the brown and white an chor man colville however prov ed to be no match for harmon the freshman wonder who quickly re trieved the i'ost distance and by a final desperate effort forged ahead to the finish it was a most sensa tional race throughout the second record to fall was tipped over by underwood the big lehigh plunger who floated 69 feet breaking the former record by three feet underwood has been doing steady and consistent work through out the season and should better this mark before the year is over in the next event the 220-yard swim harmon duplicated his sen sational work in the relay when he made the distance in 2 minutes 37^5 seconds breaking the former record by b^s seconds harmon's oppo nent ross who is considered one of the fastest swimmers in collegi ate circles was a very close second probably being the principal factor in harmon's breaking the record by such a large margin a complete surprise was the re sult of the dive in which childs and astarita nosed out galbraith who was generally considered the favor ite the rutgers star was decided ly off form and showed up rather poorly the outstanding star of the meet was harmon whose sensational work in the relay and the 220-yard swim filled the meet with thrills harmon has been improving his form all through the season and is now a dangerous contender in his event at the intercollegiate meet which will be held in the taylor pool in the near future continued on page three the entire team was well bal anced and in all events showed the result of the careful and systematic coaching of paul w lukens who was a star on the rutgers team of a few years ago the complete su the brown and white wrestling team lost to columbia by the score of 15 to 8 on saturday evening in taylor gym lehigh seemed to be pursued by a jinx throughout the meet for in almost every bout the lehigh man was just beaten by a matter of a few seconds one of the biggest disappointments of the evening was the necessity for shoe maker defaulting to hart the lat ter an intercollegiate champion and captain of his team came to the mat feeling pretty cocky he was surprised to find in shoemaker a very good match and the nine-min ute period passed with neither of the men going to the mat but with the lehigh man showing much the better game in the first extra pe riod shoemaker went to the mat but was soon on his feet and se cured head buttock threw hart to the niai and 11101 suddenly called time out it was found that he had pulled a muscle from a rib and he was obliged to forfeit the bout on default captain coxe and schwarzbach were the only ones to come through with a win for lehigh captain coxe secured the only fall of the evening all the rest of the bouts having been won on decision coxe and porte stayed on their feet for about seven minutes when suddenly coxe caught his man in a bar and chancery and the whole thing was over in a few seconds schwarzbach in the 115-lb class likewise waited until near the end of his bout before taking his man to the mat he worked hard for a fall but was caught by the watch before he had a chance he won on referee's decision with a time advantage of 1 minute 15 seconds in the heavy-weight class moorehouse was pitted against pauli an old veteran at columbia who weighed in at 158 pounds but was obliged to wrestle in the un limited class because the gotham ites had no other representative the bout went to extra periods when the columbia man had but a slight advantage in the first round moorehouse elected to go to the mat and pauli by using one of the dirtiest and most punishing holds held him there for the greater part of the three minutes he used an arm lever ruthlessly bending moore house's arm back with his whole weight when the lehigh man tried to rise in the second period moorehouse was too fatigued to do much was caught napping several times when pauli went for his feet finally losing the bout on referee's decision continued on page four in the 1354b class thompsjon of lehigh and schwartz went to extra periods thompson made the mis arcadia notice notice a meeting of the senior class was held in packer hall last friday morning
