football sea son last saturday by defeating stevens stoo on lehigh field on the whole the game was rather slow and uninteresting as far as lehigh was concerned this was due to the fact that most men were new at their positions and many substitutes were played captain speirs was unable to play which greatly weakened the backfield at quarterback the fast playing and sure passes of anderson were greatly missed but kesselman and bilheimer give promise of develop ing into hardy players at center potter the new man from swarth more prep showed up very well both in offensive and defensive work in general the line held very well but did not seem able to open up the opposing line so that the backs could gain consistently the new man in the backfield donald son did especially well martin's kicking was a feature of the game each punt counting for consider able gain martin started the game with a long kick to stevens fullback who only succeeded in advancing the ball about twenty yards unable to make any decided gain past am an who tackled the man each time stevens kicked aman re ceived the ball and ran it back for five yards through steady gains by brumbaugh and donaldson the ball was carried within five yards of stevens goal when aman ran around the end for a touchdown aman failed to kick the goal the ball stayed in the center of the field for the remainder of the half both sides did considerable kicking but neither team succeeded in making any consistent gains the first half closed with the ball well down the field in stevens territory there were frequent changes in the lineup during the second half most of the time the ball was kept in stevens territory but lack of consistent gaining prevented le high from scoring at no time did stevens have the chance to score several times during the game attempts at using the for ward pass resulted in fumbles and losses for our team the lineup lehigh positions stevens archer left end bruce treat left tackle hearsey martin
