the jnnior class on thursday last university lecture lehigh defeats swathmore score 21-12 the basketball season was begun in a very favorable manner on last saturday afternoon by the defeat of swathmore by the decisive score of 21 to 12 this score though i decisive does not accurately rep resent the relative merits of the two teams in fact it was an off day for our team and in consequence the margin should have been much larger in fact six of swathmore's points were scored on iouls the game on the whole was very rough as is witnessed by the black eyes which andy and landefeldt have been sporting around the univer sity for the last couple of days these two worthies thinking to in still a little more ginger into the game collided while running at full tilt with the disastrous conse quences afore mentioned the team left south bethlehem at 8.30 a m saturday morning and arrived at swathmore at about a quarter rfter eleven immedi ately after luncheon the team re paired to the gymnasium and j shortly after the game began ; from the start it was clearly seen j that though lehigh could pass rapidly and accurately their shoot ing of goals was far below the average time and again chances were offered for goals but as often they did not materialize ; for the ball would either fall short or bound out of the elusive basket the new man beggs put up a clean fast game and clearly proved he was a valuable man both in of fensive and defensive play the score at the end of the first half was 6-6 lehigh in the second half took a brace in basket throwing which gained for her the large lead in the final outcome the line-up was as follows : swarthrnore lehigh sensenderfer f pfahler price heed f powell i lukens gilkylson c e ggs bower carr g landefeldt mowery g farabaugh
