themselves throughout nearly every game considering the season thus far as a whole the lehigh offensive has been one of the strong points and no opposing team has scored more than ten points against the lehigh team this season the brown and white warriors have proven particular ly strong in defense when their goal line was in danger a short resume of the lehigh season thus far is appended the gettysburg game on tay lor field was the first turnout of the schedule lehigh played straight football throughout the game the chief feature of the game were the off-tackle plays with fullback greer plunging thru centre lehigh's offensive was particularly good and line attacks were noticably good ground-gainers fourteen first downs were made in line at tacks the final score found le continued on

springsteen captain deible the kick-off at two o'clock tomorrow on taylor field will commence the fifty-seventh meeting on the gridiron between lehigh and lafayette the meeting of these traditional rivals has become a classic which in the east ranks close to the big-three and army-navy contest in general interest and importance this year finds the maroon team endeavoring to complete a string of five straight victories while the brown and white is determined to break the jinx which has followed them for the last four years the opposing lines are much the same as those which battled to a 3-0 score last year but the backfield combinations of both teams are new lafayette is minus its two stars gazella and brunner whose trained toe accounted for lafayette's only score in last season's thrilling contest but in millman they have a flashy back whom lehigh found hard to stop the veteran lafayette line is considered one of the strong est in the east and around this powerful wall coach sutherland has developed a smashing attack which makes use of well perfected double and trible passes besides millman the maroon has in gebhardt fullback kirkleski and chicknoski halfbacks and ford quarter back four men of more then average ability since the injury to ernst in the perm game chicknoski has been calling the signals from his halfback position with ford who has had previous experience in the line and as substi tute fullback adding his weight to the back field combination with the exception of cusick and hoffman lehigh enters the game with the same line that fought lafayette to a standstill last year with storer in the line-up this year the lehigh back field combination should prove much stronger than last season for this triple threat man has been the sensation of the lehigh attack jacobs freshman halfback makes his debut in the lehigh-lafayette contest but according to previous showing his end runs should cause trouble to the lafayette forwards greer vet eran fullback can be counted on for his usual en all previous records for a lehigh-lafayette steady playing the work of lingle against alfred marks his return to the form which made him a sensation at harrisburg tech and in his first two years at lehigh hess stevens and pryor are able backs who have proved their worth in the earlier games of the season in lewin coach baldwin has a man with an edu cated toe and enough experience this year to make his kicks good when they are needed he is also a fast man at running the ball last year lehigh showed a wonderful defense but little or no offense this year with much the same line she presents a really formidable array of backs the demand for tickets this year has brok game to accommodate the crowds extra stands have been erected encircling the playing field and rising to the south above the perman weight of the line or backfield of both teams where the poundage does differ it is of such trivial concern totaling not more than a couple of pounds ent stands last year's close score the record ojj lehigh so far this season and the present endowment campaign have all contributed to arousing interest unusual even for this con test alumni of both colleges are pouring in fjhom all sections of the country the advance ale of tickets shows that the crowd of specta tors will probably pass the 20,000 mark it is interesting to note that from the sta tistics given and the probable lineup that there will be very little difference in the average the average weight of both the lehigh and lafayette backfield will be 177 pounds on the line it is noted that there is but two pounds dif ference the weight of lafayette line averages 185 pounds and the lehigh line 183 pounds the latter is boosted materially by inclusion of yeager the 210 guard and incidentally the heaviest man on the brown and white squad johnny budd tipping the beam at 225 pounds holds the distinction of being the biggest in dividual on the maroon eleven these averages and weights are taken from the following line-up and statistics william springsteen 24 bet ter known as bill is deter mined to lead his team to vic tory over the strong maroon eleven of lafayette in tomor row's annual classic as center and tackle he has starred in every game of the season his fight and fast playing making him a terror to the opposing of fensive and opening up large gaps in the

one of the best all scholastic linemen entering in the fall of 1920 he managed to land a varsity berth at tackle under coach tom keady and soon showed the lehigh fans the sort of scrappy linesman he was his brilliant playing in the lehigh perm state game won for him a name as a deadly tackier and a man to fill up holes in the line the next year under coach glick of princeton he was shift ed to center with the result that opponents plays thru center fell off for that season in his first year under coach baldwin from dartmouth he was again shifted to tackle and played the first few games of the season his old trouble with his knee again developed and he was sent out to bonesetter reese returning in good condi tion to play in the lafayette game with a result which every one knows who was fortunate enough to see the game so far this season bill has been a stellar player in every game strengthening the line and opening gaps in the oppos ing line on the offensive and great things are to be expected from him in the great battle with the maroon team from down the river the lafayette captain who will call the flip of the coin on november 24 is arthur deible known to his teammates and

grid iron struggle with lafayette under the able tutelage of coach jim baldwin this is big jim's second lafayette game last year his team by a superhuman effort due in part to the le high fight and
