and present the situation to the men in its true light there were a number of alumni present and all of them spoke feel ingly on the subject giving some very good advice some of the men in college who are members of the various teams then spoke and the crowd marched over to the eagle hotel where professor stew ardson gave them a very good ad dress saying that failure at first is but the forerunner of final victory and should not prove discouraging the march was then resumed to the station where the team was given a rousing welcome and es corted back to the hall there dr pollard spoke freely of the present state of affairs say ing that it was too much to expect that a team with a new line and many new backs could prove suc cessful early in the season but promising that when the big games came the team would make such a showing as to have every man in college proud of them fuller and downey then told of the encourage ment that such a meeting had given them and also prophesied a bright future for the team bray spoke well about the important part the men on the bleachers play in the success or failure of a team and with some rousing cheers the meeting disbanded the foot-ball team

danger ously near our goal parson's was put in at quarter-back for his first game and considering the very short time he has been out for practice his playing was of a remarkably high order fuller

downs farabaugh made five yards for lehigh and fuller carried the ball five more around the end here annapolis held for three downs and fuller punted the ball went out of bounds on lehigh's 30-yard line annapolis got the ball and took it to lehigh's 20 yard line but lost it on downs bailey gained four yards and then fuller on a cross-tackle play got away from all but one of the cadets who missed his tackle but succeeded in tripping him so that he was downed before he could regain his feet here lehigh was held for downs and fuller punted annapolis ran the ball back to lehigh's 30-yard line
