lehigh by pittsburgh 14-0 and perm state 20-7 the make up of the lafayette team has been settled for some time whereas cciach keady and his assistants even at the present writing are in doubt as to the best men for a num ber of positions this fact has be<en unavoidable due to a number of men who seem to be on a par with one another lehigh as a team w;i-th the substitutes has passed through three hard gruelling games in succession with an easy game with muhlenberg last saturday this ought to give a certain superi ority in development when put to the test with a fighting opponent her material

lafa yette side is fn the north side of the stand or ffiat side of the stand that is opposite to the press box coming fromr'easton by trolley it is best to change at broad and new streets and take a car over the new street bridge to fourth street on the south side from this point it is easy to roach the campus by those coming by train the campus can be reached by walking up broadhead avenue which is the first street at the east end of the lehigh valley station no cars will be permitted to en ter the field out may be parked in the lafayette football warriors have shown a very favorable record so far this season but as far as the eastonians are concerned the re sults of tomorrow's game will de cide the success or failure of the past season lafayette started her season with a large number of the old men back on the squad this number was increased by the in coming class making a very large source of material from which coach sutherland was able to buiki up an excellent team the first game of the season was with muhlenberg and although the fsyi.ol tgyvnp yv.ti v j-.vi o oil 1 tllf lafayette team had little trouble in beating the muhlenberg lads 13 to 0 the second game was a little too hard for so early in the season and although the eastonians out played their opponents they lost to the princeton eleven by a score of 9 to 6 after the princeton game the next big game for lafayette was with pennsylvania and all her energy was turned in that direc tion the second home game was with haverford and the lafayette warriors had no trouble in win ning by an overwhelming score of 41 to 0 then came the pennsyl vania game and the eastonians set out for philadelphia to win the red and blue team proved to be too much for them however and although they put up a wonderful fight they were defeated by a score of 23 to 0 hummel lafayette's left end received a badly sprained ankle in the early moments of the game and it is still doubtful whether or not he will be able to take part in tomorrow's battle this game was followed by an other hard game for the maroon and white men the game with cornell this time however coach sutherland's men were successful and they managed to defeat the fast cornell warriors 21 to 2 this with the exception of the game to morrow was the last hard game on the schedule the games with dickinson and trinity which fol lowed proved to be easy for the eastonians and they won both games the score of the former be ing 41 to 0 and that of the latter 35 to 0 since the cornell game all of coach sutherland's efforts have been centered on the titular contest of the season with lehigh tomor row and every possible preparation has been made to have the lafa yette team in the best of shape for the coming battle with the brown and white team the game
