when they meet this southern five on the le high courts the visitors who will arrive on saturday have been bad ly defeated by the navy but never theless they are coming to bethle hem with a well-balanced team and one which should make the lehigh aggregation work for every point railroad society to hold meeting tonight to-morrow afternoon coach o'neil's stick proteges will meet the swarthmore lacrosse team at swarthmore the game is called for 3 o'clock promptly after the fine showing the team made last saturday afternoon against the rut gers team and from the way prac tices the past week have been pro gressing lehigh should be in a po sition to give swarthmore a severe trouncing as this is the first league game for the brown and white this season the team has been hard at work this last week in preparation for it swarthnioire has been defeated by johns hopkins also a member of the southern division league and by the army who defeated them 10 to 1 after a poor start the le high stick artists seem to have found their stride and are on the road to another championship coach bill o'neil has kept the defense intact using brewer and greer at point and cover-point re spectively with springsteen mor gan and darsie playing the defense positions the playing of the de fense has been very steady and there is little cause for worry from that quarter schwimmer a freshman from brooklyn who has had lacrosse ex perience has been showing up very well in the scrimmage this past week and has kept the varsity scor ing low the best attack combination is bill o'neil's big question the coach has been using muzdakis and bradley for the home jobs with mckenzie packenham and groner on the attack and with fullard at center however mitman mitch ell hewitt geyer and abel are looming up well and are liable to pull down a steady berth on the attack the scrimmages this week have been the best of the season and very hotly contested the competition is very strong and the men have to put lots of pep in their game to keep in the running the attack is developing and bet ter all-around teamwork has been witnessed this past week than at any time before the possibilities for lehigh to win to-morrow are very good and as many men as possible should try to make the trip and see the game the game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock daylight-saving time on the athletic field at swarthmore the lineup will probably be the same as last week the swarthmore line-up is not known at this date get a best times west virginia came to taylor stadium on wednesday afternoon fresh with the sting of a 13 to 4 defeat by georgetown and took their revenge on the brown and white nine after the game was called at the end of the seventh in ning in order to allow the moun taineers to catch a train west vir ginia had piled up a total of 16 runs to the local players 0 the visitors buried lehigh under a total of 19 base-hits to the brown and white's two and piled up a total oi 24 bases pete dußois twirled for the brown and white the full seven innings and compared to his no-hit no-run record against seton hall on saturday did not do so well the west virginia players hit his slants at every turn every man on the vis iting team getting at least one hit and scoring a run lehigh's sup port also was weak and slow the brown and white committed five errors three of which were on pri or's score the outfield however was working at its best rogers and merrill saved the day several times by catching rather mean flies bessemer was playing the old-time ball although he let one grounder slip by him that would have meant an out for the west virginia nine woods pitched wonderful ball only twice during the game did lehigh hit the mound sm an and them only for one base a-piece the mountaineers were all heavy hitters on wednesday lytle leading the team with four hits west vir ginia's infield was exceptionally fast and accurate at throwing many a lehigh man was put out at first due to the whirlwind speed of the visitors infield weik and krosnoff at the second bag were especially able players coplay star red in the outfield for the visitors although lytle and harrick were not far behind besides the bits garnered from dußois the moun taineers managed to steal four bases during the game including a steal of home by harrick in the sixth inning west virginia opened the game by pounding dußois for three hits in the first inning allowing two players to cross the plate in the second frame the visitors got a total of seven hits putting six runs on the score-board three more were added in the third four in the fourth and the final tally in the sixth after the fourth inning dv bois had settled down to sharper pitching and the batting orgy was over west virginia was retired quickly in the fifth and in the sixth but for a hair-breadth steal of home by harrick they would have been blanked again in the seventh frame both sides went out in one two-three order lehigh never
