the game is being watched with inter est by army and lehigh adherents tal hunter coach of the le high squad in 1919 has been super intending the coaching of the west pointers and has developed a for midable aggregation that should make the local collegians extend themselves to the limit although losing to university of pennsylva nia last saturday by a scant margin the work of the soldiers was repu ted to be off color so little can be foretold by an analysis of com parative scores the lehigh stick wielders will undoubtedly find themselves up against twelve men that are in the prime of condition and ready to force fast and hard play exceptionally good weather con ditions this week have been a de cided asset for tuning up the le high squad for to-morrow's game and without exception

game to be played to-morrow coach keady reserved the ace of the pitching squad johnny lees and started the game with bob adams on the mound adams re mained for 32/z3 2 z innings and then he was taken out and lees was sent in to try and repair the ha^voc wrought while the freshman twirl er held the mound the change was made too late however for with the lead ac quired and in spite of hard hitting by the lehigh men rutgers main tained her lead continued on page three while lehigh was out-hit two of the three circuit-clouts were count ed by the bethlehem collegians in the opening inning w t ith two down and no one on the bases freddy rogers tallied one for a round of the bases johnny lees duplica ted this performance in the eighth but again with no one on base he being the first man up rutgers counted her first runs on a homer when in the opening inning platt banged out the ball after bering house had tripled beringhouse and kelly each had a pair of triples the former also making two singles hitting safely in each of his four trips to the plate donnan and ri ley each tallied a double the rutgers men had absolutely no mercy on adams during the opening innings starting with a rally in the opening frame and scoring two runs after two men were out during this inning ad ams allowed four hits for a total of ten bases which included a single double triple and home-run rut gers added another run in the sec ond when kelly tripled and scored on duffy's single in the third adams steadied down and with one out after ber inghouse singled and was nabbed on an attempted steal bob sent the next two men away from the plate however a fusilade of hits in the fourth including a single by maloney and a second triple by kelley drove adams from the notice the final trials to decide

week end captain bray cook and sieg mund probably stand the best chance of showing up well in their respective events captain bray's chances in the mile-run are better ed by the fact that v booth for

the exception of the two comparatively local match es with lafayette and muhlenberg george washington will be play ed this afternoon while the navy will be played to-morrow little trouble is expected by the team from george washington as they have practically a new team this year and have not showed up very well in their matches so far navy has a fairly well-balanced team but it is not considered to be in the same class as some of the teams as syracuse perm and carnegie tech which the brown and white rec queters have already tied or defeat ed although neither of these teams can be considered

communication the board is now confronted by the proposi tion of disposing of the books that are to be printed the fact that the book will come out at a later date means more expense and far that

this number a good percentage have paid the required deposit in order to have the book held for them in this list however there are a number who have not paid any deposit and if these stu dents desire a book to be printed and held for them it is necessary that they get in touch with the business manager at once and give him a deposit of one dollar or more aside from this group of stu dents who have already seen mr snyder there are a number of oth ers who want the book but have not made the fact known it is up to those students to communicate with the business manager at once giving him a deposit and making it duly certain that they will receive the book this information is for the benefit of the students and it is hoped that all those who really want a book will see mr snyder before may 20th the business manager has sent out bills for space in the 1923 epitome to aid of the fraternities and to some of the clubs because of the present financial condition of the year book it is desired that as many of these groups pay up as possible and as soon as possible the home game of the faculty baseball series with the lafayette faculty will be held on taylor field on monday afternoon at 4 o'clock
