afternoon on the up per field the soccer ream will play its first regular league game of the season against pennsylvania the contest will be called at 1 : 00 p m sharp and it is the urgent request of manager asbury and captain mercur that the student body be present at this the initial game last year the perm team was vic torious and it is the earnest wish of all the old men that the lehigh eleven shall inflict a telling defeat in this year's conflict to this end coach carpenter has been drilling and training his men more rigor ously than usual during the past week as to the comparative strength of the two teams no conclusion can be reached for in the preliminary games neither squad has evidenced any amount of brilliant play to look for such manifestations so early in the season would be un fair however reports have it that pennsylvania was defeated by a local philadelphia eleven the prospects then are good and if the proper amount of confidence is at all a factor in winning lehigh should be able to settle the account held over from last year the lehigh soccer team through various practice games with the bethlehem steel team has develop ed in the past week a smooth and skilful aggregation well-balanced and thoroughly imbued with the idea of putting lehigh foremost among the soccer teams of the country owing to the high quality of the pennsylvania players and the high degree of soccer shown by the le high team last saturday the game should be a fine exhibition as the time of the game is 1 : 00 it will be possible for all students to see the first league game and not miss any of the football game following the soccer team wants and de serves your earnest support so ev erybody come out and show the team the proper support the ultimate line-up has not been

in no sense serious and coach baldwin will be able to place his strongest team on the field on saturday next when brown university invades the lair of the brown and white coach baldwin as he stated in the first smoker has no alibi for the defeat at the hands of rutgers their line was far heavier than that of lehigh's and although the game looked like a 7 to 6 victory until the final quarter the terrific plung ing of the scarlet backs turned that victory into defeat when the brown and white line crumbled before their attack baldwin and with him the student body knows that he has the makings of a team and will do all in his power to turn in a victory over brown the bruins will come to bethle hem with what is characterized as the best team since 1916 the year in which both yale and harvard
