able direction of mr john a mccollom jr the associa tion feels assured of giving possibly the story a lively and mirthful one exploits a delightful complica tion of a co-ed institution known as x

rival lafayette by a score of 20-17 the game was played at the easton armory and due to the slippery floor both teams failed to play up to standard the game turned into a rough-house many times which caused twenty-seven fouls to be called most of which were of the personal variety lafayette jumped into the lead when troxell dropped one in from the foul line taylor then followed with a goal from the field brewster then tallied a foul and ketcham made it three all after a pretty dribble down the floor the teams then see-sawed back and forth until near the end of the first half with lafayette

to its feet with a spectacular one-hand shot from the center of the floor many fouls were called at this stage of the game but troxell failed to tally anderson and taylor then put lafayette in the lead with two baskets the lafayette guards tightened up and lehigh was unable to tally from the field brewster making a free toss a few minutes before time was called dynan was easily the star performer of the evening closely followed by ketcham brewster made five out of nine fouls called while troxell fell down making only four free throws out of eighteen chances the line-up : lehigh

and although handicapped by the bad weather conditions which have made the use of the outdoor board track at times impossible are in fairly good trim the race should be very closely con tested as from all accounts the georgetown team is in the pink of condition however there will be a great element of luck in the race as the track is a twelve-lap affair and accidents can easily happen as yet
