franklin and marshall 10 lehigh 0 lehigh was defeated in the sec ond game of the season by the fast franklin and marshall team on lehigh field saturday afternoon the score being i to 0 the loss of the game which was a big sur prise and disappointment to lehigh men was mainly the result of costly fumbles and lack of the classy head work which in former games has marked the playing of our team from the first kick-off it was evident that lehigh would have to play every minute to win the game and for a while it looked as if a touchdown was soon to come but a fumble spoiled the chances and when lehigh recovered the ball again franklin and marshall was playing dangerously close to our goal then followed a punting duel between richards and martin with honors even lehigh's costly errors in catching the punts again gave franklin and marshall the opportunity of advancing the ball to about the twenty-yard line a field goal was then tried but was spoiled by a poor pass and the first half ended 0-0 in the second half lehigh by repeated line plunges and short end runs succeeded in working the ball to franklin and marshall's forty-five yard line but another fumble gave the ball to franklin and marshall with a clear field for a touchdown saylor failed to kick goal franklin and marshall's second touchdown was made after another fumble had given them the ball on lehigh's twenty-yard line from where they scored on a well executed forward pass saylor again failed to kick an easy goal lehigh then took a brace but they only succeeded in getting the ball on franklin and marshall's fifteen-yard line when time was called and the final score stood 10-0 lehigh's line was strong and had no trouble in holding their oppo nents who depended on their ends and punting to advance the ball franklin and marshall made but two first downs on straight football the lineup lehigh position f and m lnwsoi l e hart man treat l t saylor continu<-d on fourth page friday october
