night a portion of the faculty will be the cynosure of all eyes students as well as citizens of bethlehem not as is usual in the class room but on the stage the performance given by the dramatic club in the liberty high school on saturday evening will be as near a perfect production as eight weeks of patient practice and a good coach can make it the cast has been working especially bard to make this their first really public appear ance and set a precedent of quality which will be hard for succeeding casts to equal the performance of the same play candida in drown hall about a year ago showed the latent possibilities of the club and they are anxious to develop these possibilities to tbe utmost the play one of bernard shaw's best is being given for the benefit of the y m c a through the kindness of the club members it is possible that much that shaw wrote would not appeal to us but that is no proof that the particular play will not please he himself was careful to claim it as a pleasant play and evidently intended that it should please continued on page two a local newspaper says concern ing it : shaw tells us a good story about a preacher who is happy in his home and in his work and per fectly confident of himself only to find all his happiness threatened and his confidence shaken by the young the prospects for next season's baseball team are exceedingly bright as there are several veterans back and manager h d gihon has ar ranged the most attractive schedule in years most of the important games will be at home and although there are still a few open dates there are good prospects of having games for them the tentative schedule is as follows : — april 4 — vermont april 7 — princeton away april 11 — fordham away april 14 — stevens april 18 — perm away aptil 21 — delaware april 26 — swarthmore april 28 — seton hall may 2 — west virginia may 5 — holy cross away may 9 — rutgers may 12 — lafayette may 14 — ur sinus may 19 — lafayette away may 23 — villanova may 26 — lafayette may 30 — bucknell june 8 — boston college notice seniors notice the brown and white booters dropped two heart-breaking soccer games during the last week to the princeton tigers and the army ca dets both resulted in shutouts for coach carpenter's hopefuls but the scores of one to nothing and two to nothing show the calibre of the games put up by lehigh princeton game after a week's rest the lehigh socceir team journeyed to princeton on saturday afternoon and display ed a fast brand of ball against the tiger's intercollegiate champion team holding them to a 1 to 0 score this was the last non-league game for the orange and black and was the preparation for the battle with perm this saturday although the score was ag-ainist the brown and white team they outplayed their opponents most of the time princeton scoring her lone goal in the first minute of play be fdne the lehigh aggregation could get under way after lehigh tight ened its defense princeton was hard put to keep their forwards from driving the ball into the net the orange and black players lacked teamwork their forward line being especially ineffective lehigb was not slow in taking advantage of this weakness and time after time broke through 1 . j w cooper starred for princeton scoring their goal while fernandez and human were le bigh's outstanding players near the end of the game fernandez was injured about the legs and after the game had to be taken to the dispen sary he will probably be lost to the team for the rest of the season lehigh will be severely handicapped by his absence in tbe army and na vy games this week princeton stalrted the game with a bang davis took the ball from the kick-off and passed to jewett who dribbled down the field and centered a shot perfectly brewer however caught the ball on the 6 yard line but was jostled by j w cooper and simons cooper got the ball in the mix-up and sent it into the net this bit of hard luck braced the lehigh booters and from then on they held the orange and black on the defensive walters forced a well-placed cdnner and af ter some exciting play goal-tender cooper cleared then fernandez took possession of the ball broke through the opponents defense and shot for a goal from the 18-yard line it was a hard drive but it hit the upright and bounced back continued on page three during the second half lehigh continued to keep possession of the ball most of the time and it seemed only a matter of minutes before they would score fetnandez was playing his usual brilliant game and again and again broke through the defense and shot for goal only to miss it by inches walters again forced a beautiful corner shot but it was finally cleared after a hard scrimmage the game slowed up there will be a meeting of the varsity club in drown hall on thursday evening 1 , december 14th at 7:15 o'clock pondering over the dead football past especially as fan as it relates to lehigh the conviction becomes stronger that the brown and white had a rather remarkable and not a disastrous season the schedule arranged during the waning school months of the second term of 1922 was looked upon as a set-up in many ways but two formidable opponents were given positions on the calendar brown and lafayette the former was not really formidable while ev ery other team outside of muhlen berg and st francis presented teams stronger than the brown and white the season meant the debut of coach jim baldwin who although using the dartmouth system soft ened it with the graez which only a southern gentleman can impart jim had his ups and downs he was handicapped in finding it neces sary to instruct every man on the squad a new system and added to this the numerous injuries which fate decreed to come at the most inopportune times yet he closed his first year at lehigh with a bang and every man in the uni versity knows that he is the man responsible for dispelling that dread fear of lafayette and for getting rid of that jinx which made possi ble four straight lafayette victories gettysburg lived up to expecta tions and in the first game of the season held lehigh to a scoreless tie the brown and white al though they outplayed the orange and black lacked the necessary of fensive power to shove across a score and the game ended with neither team getting the upper hand although the game meant a good opportunity for coach baldwin to line-up his charges the chagrin of not being able to defeat a school the size of gettysburg is not so glar ing when one remembers that this same battlefield school defeated lebanon valley 15 to 0 while le high was able only to punish the annville collegians 6 to 2 st francis college hailing from the town of charlie schwab's birth loretto pa came next on the schedule at such a time when the brown and white found them selves and they were bowled over 37 to 0 the scarlet clan from the banks of the raritan led by coach san ford came to bethlehem to avenge former defeats and by a smashing offensive in the fourth quarter shov ed across a win 13 to 7 the brown and white although greatly out weighed played an uphill battle led 7 to 6 up to the fourth quarter and then only to be nosed out when the interception of a forward pass be gan the last offense of the new brunswick collegians continued on page four in probably the cleanest and best game put up on taylor field this season brown defeated lehigh 6 to 2 the brown game was the continued on page two work is starting now to prepare tlrack candidates for a bard season next spring coach kanaly is work ing witb his men on the outdoor board track getting them in shape for the harder work that will fol low in coppee hall after the christ mas holidays are over the lehigh track men intend to participate in three indoor meets these meets usually begin the latter part of janr vary but due to a faculty ruling all seniors who have not receiv ed their class ballots by this sun day evening should see or call c f forstall 23 at delta upsilon tel ephone 348 the le'high soccer team will play a soccer game with the naval acad emy at annapolis to-morrow the team will leave friday afternoon on the 3:20 train due to the fact that thiis is the first time a lehighi soccdr team has played the navy they are very anx ious to make a good showing af ter playing the army on wednes day at west point the soccer team has been very hard at work perfect ing some new plays to foe used a gaimst the navy and polishing up a few rough spots found in the army game the team is in excel lent shape justj ust now and should pre sent a stronig team against the na vy fernandez who had his right shoulder hurt in the pirinceton game was unable to play against the army but the way things look now he will in all probabilities be in the line-up saturday the team has missed his absence and his presence will do much to improve the team's playing the navy team has had a rather hard schedule this season but have pulled through in excellent shape displaying a strong defense and an exceedingly effect ive offensive in most of her games nothing definite can be said about the comparative strength of the two teams but at any rate the game will continued on page two brown and white printing is completed for the 1923 epitome vol xxx no 20 musical clubs will make debut
