much is known about the rutgers team but from previous contests the game promises to be pretty evenly matched the past week has been one of hard work for the brown and white team many of the weak points which showed up last saturday in the game with the midshipmen have been corrected during the stiff scrimmages this week the team is in fine physical shape and there are no men who will be forced to sit on the bench due to injuries coach o'neill has not decided on the line-up for the game but the men who will probably get in the game for part of the time at least are as follows kutzleb

annual alumni day ex ercises will be held this year on sat urday june the 9th and all alumni class banquets will be held upon the evening of the same day chief among the events upon the program for

lehigh endowment fund the usual program of events how ever will not be neglected and plans are being perfected for the costuming of the various classes and the pairade of the reunion of classes junior prom will hold sway tonight the superiority of brain over brawn was demonstrated in the vic tory of the sophs over the fresh men at the formeir banquet last monday at the burton restaurant the sophomores to all intents and purposes were scheduled to spring the feast wednesday even ing and the yearlings were all ready to meet the second-year men in mortal combat and break up the banquet after the frosh had answered to a false alarm the thursday before their blood was up and the sophs were supposedly doomed all pledged themselves that there should be no banquet wednesday consequently there was great consternation among the ranks when on monday afternoon the word was passed that the banquet was to be that night so great was the unbelief and the thought of turning out again to a false alarm that only a handful of freshmen appeared at the burton at 5 o'clock to find the windows lined with sophomores the surprise was complete it is nothing short of remarkable that the secret was kept so closely the tickets were printed for wedv nesday april 25th but the actual date was monday the 23rd at 5 o'clock of that day the sophs met in a body at the bethlehem steel athletic field and marched to the banquet ready for a scrap but they were destined to be disappoint ed as the news had not yet spread i around continued on page four once in a burst of over-enthu siasm the frosh

tuck until the sixth in ning when the quakers scored two runs the score stood at that fig ure until the last half of the ninth inning when in a thrilling eleventh hour rally the brown and white tied the score in an extra inning the local players scored an addition al run and won the game wednesday was the first time that the lehigh players showed real con sistent ball-playing throughout an entire game johnny lees was back at top form and twirled like a veteran he struck out eight garnet batters five of them being in the first three innings the brown and white infield seemed greatly improved by the inclusion of hess and meldinger mellinger was perhaps a bit slow but he was a steady and reliable player ad ams played a great game at first snatching several wild throws from the air adams and hess were the batting stars of the day it was really hess that won the game when he poled a one-bagger in the ninth and brought in two runs lippincott a new moundsman for the quakers pitched a very credit able game until the ninth inning he held the brown and white lads under his thumb there only being one possible chance for lehigh to score before that time but the strain proved a bit too great and at the last he became rattled the garnet infield was snappy and well co-ordinated there were a few er rors and these few were taken ad vantage of by the lehigh players to gain bases and to score lees began the game with a strike-out ersey made first but was left there adams got to sec ond on a fumble by cornell but was caught off the bag in the sec ond the quakers were out in one two three order for lehigh mer rill reached second on two errors but was left there during the third inning lees fanned three of swarthmore's men and when le high came to bat not a man reach ed first in the fourth ersey poled a two bagger to center and reached third on a wild ball by lees but due to bessemer's clever head-work he died there prior got to first on hotterer's fumble and slid to sec ond while adams was at bat har wi made first base on a pop to short and prior slid third lees walked but merrill and bessemer were out baker reached first on a hit to right at the beginning of the fifth frame and got as far as third when the side was retired hess also reach ed third but was left continued on page four it was in the sixth that the qua kers made their only score hayes reached first on a grounder to ad one of the most important events of the year for the brown and white trackmen will be the perm relays to-day and to-morrow on franklin field in philadelphia the one-mile relay team will compete in the middle atlantic states cham pionship class a against lafay ette johns hopkins swarthmore bucknell and rutgers of the teams entered in this event lafay ette and johns hopkins will prob ably present the most competition lafayette was very successful in their indoor races in the one-mile event and the same team will rep resent them on friday johns hop kins also possesses a team which will make a strong bid for honors although rutgers won the quarter mile run last saturday they are not considered overly strong and it is very probable that springsteen would have won if he had not fall en bucknell and swarthmore are the dark horses and little is known of their teams the trials for the lehigh entries were held on wednesday afternoon and the team will be composed of : burgess croll leister and spring steen with lodge as substitute the list represents the order in which the men finished burgess winning in 55 seconds flat although the time is a second or so slower than previous times of this year it must be taken into consideration that there was a stiff wind blowing up the back stretch which seriously handicapped the runners the team will line up with lafayette at the pole and lehigh sixth from the pole in addition to the one-mile relay there are four men entered in indi vidual events jose carol one of the best sprinters who has ever rep resented the brown and white will compete in the 100-yard dash in this event there are some sixty en tries but carol is considered as having an excellent chance to come through with flying colors in two indoor meets he placed first and second respectively against excep tionally fast competition in shorter dashes he is considerably faster in the hundred than in the shorter dashes and in the two dual meets has emerged victor each time by a large margin although entered in other events besides the century on saturday all his efforts will be concentrated in this one race and the prospects of his placing among the first three are extremely bright siegmund is entered in the special two-mile run and will compete a gainst the leading two-milers of the country each week he has lowered his time considerably and expects to run one of the best races of his career on saturday and the chances of his securing a place are good burlingame is entered in the broad jump and sanford in the hop step and jump and both these men have outside chances of placing every man on the relay team has been working faithfully and it is hoped that their efforts and train ing will be rewarded in this im portant meet the spring
