will be shown in this game as many of the muhlenberg supporters from allentown will come over in the hopes of seeing muhlenberg put ov er another victory as they did last fall in football the lehigh team has been play ing in hard luck lately and has lost the last four games n a row los ing to lafayette catholic univer sity vermont and holy cross in the order named however the team is going to put over every ef fort possible in order to get rid of the jinx which seems to be pursu ing them an example of the hard luck which is pursuing the team was in the game last wednesday with catholic university when with the game practically cinched at 3 to 1 in lehigh's favor in the ninth in ning catholic university scored three runs and victory on a fluke homer which a lehigh fielder help ed over the fence a decided brace is looked for ttp day however and as the muhlen berg team hasn't shown much this year victory is practically assured muhlenberg has only an average team and they have won only a fair percentage of their games this season the muhlenberg line-up will probably be as follows shook lb ; witt c.f ; crum c ; holstrum 3b ; slower r.f ; drimm 2b ; laderas 1.f ; freed s.s ; and hoffman or wesson p the lehigh line-up has not yet been decided upon but some important changes may be looked for coach keady is trying his best to get the team out of its slump lafayette netmen

have been over come and the brown and white batsmen are back in their old form the team is doing its best to come out of the slump which has been so apparent during the last few games when the alumni are here on the ninth and tenth of june coach keady wants to show them a winning ball team and end the season with victories over fordham and colgate lately he has experi mented in changes in the line-up and some surprises may be looked for the lafayette line-up will prob ably be the same that performed here in the last game with either longacre or tierney on the mound the probable lehigh line-up is as follows rote s.s ; donovan 2b rogers r.f ; johnson 3b ; hess 1.f rowley 1.b ; larkin c.f read or henschen c ; and lees or dußois p announcements as to the trans portation arrangements to

class and returning alumni but that it should be a big week for all undergraduates and the old cus tom of everybody attending should be resumed he explained to the freshman class and sophomores what their duties were that week and very earnestly emphasized the fact that all or as many as possi ble be present from these classes that week he gave an idea of what the calculus cremation was supposed to be and how it was to be run saying the junior class should aid the sophomores by giv ing them ideas on the part they are to play and that the duty of the freshman is to haul the wood for the big bon-fire he also urged that there be a greater line of demarcation made between the two upper classes and that these two classes shoulder more responsibility in the future while the two lower classes give their most hearty co-operation and in this way re-establish that mark of distinction which existed before the war after okey gave his talk pres ident a w hicks made a few re marks to the students

players and the third set was necessary in nearly all of the matches captain beck won from cullingham in a hard match 6-2 4-6 6-3 mattson won his singles match in straight sets 6-1 6-1 which gave him a record of not losing a match this season beale and koegler al though they lost their singles match es put up a hard fight in the dou bles lehigh won both matches with little difficulty much is
