officiated at the princeton - lehigh game thorpe made a statement which very clearly summar ized the lehigh spirit here was an eleven said thorpe which had made only six points against opponents up to the tiger game and who came to the jungle so much the under dog that everyone expected the bethlehem team to be be snowed under by a top heavy score but when they romped out on the princeton field
