aggregation was hastily formed to test the mettle of the yearlings playing before the start and again between the halves of the varsity game the spectators gathered in the basket ball court were treated with forty minutes of the rougher style of play that stood in marked con trast to the lehigh nassau game during the first half neither team was able to get working together and it was anybody's ball most of the time with both frosh and soph equally unable to locate the basket and many chances for scores being lost substitutions in the last 20 minutes of play seemed to better the scoring combinations and the team work of the freshmen enabled them to roll up a final score of 22-10 against their rivals the lafayette freshmen team af ter their defeat last wednesday night have

the various events contrary to all expectations le high carried off second honors in the plunge which was won by schaeffer rutgers who plunged a distance of 60 feet it was gener ally thought that either arner or regad lehigh would take first place in this event the result of the meet was very satisfactory and shows that lehigh's mermen are coming along in great shape 200 yard relay won by rut

17-7 saturday night in taylor gym lehigh won only two decisions and a draw while brown secured two falls and two decisions the visitors were aided materially by horse shoes four-leaf clovers rabbit feet and the like both childs in the 115 pound class and meyers in the 125 pound class just missed certain falls for lehigh because of the lack of a few more seconds it was pure luck that gave the vistors a fall instead of a decision in the 135 pound class loeser and good in the 158 and 175 pound classes were by far better men than their opponents but for some reason oi other they could not work their favorite hold four times loeser ali.nost had his man in a head but tock and each time he lost it the same thing happened to good who last year won the intercollegiates with the head buttock brown lost to cornell univer sity the night before 18-6 but they did not seem to be suffering any ill effects in fact they seemed to have gained by the experience for they studious ly avoided most of the holds which lehigh wrestlers are known to spec ialize in remembering the fact that le high wrestled at cornell only a short time ago it seemed likely that brown acquired some valuable advance dope before coming here the meet started off in the 115 pound bout in which childs was matched with staples of brown the two light-weights spent the whole 9 minute period on their feet and two extra 3 - minute periods were allowed to decide the winner childs won the toss and went to the mat but was up in a flash almost as soon as the referee had said go he stayed on his feet for the rest of the three minutes and in the sec ond period held his man for full time toward the end he secured a bar nelson and almost had stap les on the mat when time was called in the 125 pound bout meyers and smith of brown also wasted the mine minute period without go ing to the mat in the extra period smith succeeded in staying on top for the entire three minutes al though several times meyers almost got up in the second extra period meyers used his scissors to good advantage and also held his oppon ent for full time neither of the grapplers having an advantage tire bout was declared a draw one point being added to each score continued on page four gihon and dustin were pitted against each other in the 135 pound the brown and white quintet ended the basket ball season in taylor gym on saturday afternoon by defeating the princeton nassau team iby the score of 24-20 the lehigh team got off to a poor start and it was twelve minutes before they started to score but after the bethlehem five hit its stride they overcame a seven point lead jumped into the front and after that were never headed the crowd which filled the tay lor gymnasium was taken by sur prise by the poor showing of the lehigh five at the start and the lead that the orange and black repre sentatives got in the beginning berg a guard came up through the lehigh defense and scored in the first minute of play and then he and anderson followed with two-point ers again after that the lehigh forwards tightened up on their guards and scoring eased for a few minutes a double foul was called on lehigh and king counted the second try that gave the prince 1 ton five the lead by a 7-0 score several more minutes elapsed with out any scoring lingle had a try at a foul but missed then came another chance for lingle to shoot a foul this time he was success ful and it seemed that this point spurred the lehigh quintet on for they started in with more spirit than they had shown before lingle got loose from his guard and scored a basket donovan took a shot from behind the foul mark and registered two more points lees then added his share to the score by breaking through the nassau team by a clever dribble and dropping the ball through the net just before the whistle sounded a foul was called on prince ton and lingle converted it into a point bringing the score to 8-7 in lehigh's favor continued on page three soon after the ball was thrown up at center to start the second half bill springsteen cut under the basket for a nice two-pointer king took a stab from the center of the floor and counted a clear shot lees then broke up all chances for the princeton aggregation for the time being by getting a mania for scoring twice in succession he got away from the rangey games to score pretty baskets king scored the sec ond part of a double foul and an derson slipped under the basket for another score but lees came to the rescue again with another clever double-decker berg registered a gain for nassau but lingle coun teracted with a duplicate shot wal lace scored from the field for the orange and black after which springsteen and donovan increased the lead with field goals spring steen's shot being made from the
