              big smoker in gym tonight alumni and former football stars will address large gathering dr drinker will speak remainder of program consists of music by orchestra and quartet ' ' pep will be instilled into every man tonight who attends the an nual lafayette smoker the booster committee has arranged for a number of interesting features which promise to make the event a worthy successor to the many that have gone before ' ' fight le high will be the slogan to be seconded only by the campus en thusiasm for a victory over la fayette coaches players and students are determined that the disaster of last year shall not be re peated and it is for this reason that alumni and students will meet tonight to exchange views on one another's shortcomings and to get into the best of shape for tomor row's titanic struggle the booster committee merely promises something good and some thing different though many old features now almost customs will naturally be found on the program there is prof h r reiter who will fill the audience with real pre lafayette ginger and will give some of his personal views on the comparative strength of the two teams coaches keady and goyne may speak though this is doubtful it is difficult to imagine a lafa yette smoker without dr drinker in attendance it is expected that some member of the trustee board will also speak last year dr price was on the program this will be made possible by the fact that on friday evening the trustee board holds a meeting okeson 96 is expected to be present as are a host of other alumni who return to witness the contest but bob mcnamara who each year gives the opinion of the town cannot be expected to be absent on one of these occasions there will be music furnished by the orchestra and several selec tions by the best glee club quartet in years the band may be on hand the other attractions have been carefully guarded by those in charge it is however doubtful whether any football men will ad dress the gathering following the smoker there will be a p-rade which as in former years will be filled with plenty of enthusiasm according to present plans it will move north on locust to fourth west on fourth to brodhead north on brodhead to third east on third to new north on new to broad west on broad to main south on main to wyandotte to fourth to e p wil bur's and disband the line of march may be altered due to the condition of the streets 1 , this even ing it will be a big night and a big event remember 35 to 6 and get into the fight for nothing is won without effort characteristics of the campus en thusiasm is the conduct of the dormitory men during the week monday evening a . campus parade was held between sections a and b a huge beat lafayette banner is stretched while above the east wing section a an electric sign with the same slogan is placed lafayette tomorrow outcome of game unsettled contest will be fight to finish both teams are confident season's record shows success new men have replaced the lost veterans and some show class coach keadly began the 1916 football season at lehigh under a big handicap the loss of scruggs at center green and 1 sawtelle at end andi grumbach andi ostrom at guard was one which could not help but be felt a large batch of new material was on hand when col lege opened on october 4 two weeks late on account of infantile paralysis this made the season two weeks shorter and hardly gave the coaches time to prepare for the ursinus game several of the new men showed class from the start and tom uncovered two players in the first game that should make their mark in college football brunner a schoolboy from tome school show ed himself exceptionally adept at hurling forward passes and be sides was as good a punter as was on the squad mccarthy at end showed up first rate in practice and herrington another new man seemed to be able to step in at quar terback whenever he was needed with this outlook the team started out on september 30 and defeated ursinus in a listless game the score reading the same as the year before 20 to 0 right at the beginning two qualities of the team were brought to the surface one was that lehigh had a strong defense and the other was that the team was liable to fumble from the start of the season the team has shown first a fine spirit and excellent football and then a mediocre style of play that was typified in the muhlenberg and lebanon valley games in spots lehigh s star in the football world has blazed high and shone brilliant ly against yale the team played a fine defensive game and held yale for downs on several occasions the game was won by the small score of 12-0 one of the lowest scores the elis have been held to this year in the perm state game one of the greatest comebacks ever witnessed on taylor field was pulled off by the lehigh team after the score stood 10-0 in fa vor of state at the beginning of the continued on sixth page fiftieth encounter takes place at easton lehigh probably the favorite in annual game good physical condition tomorrow the fiftieth football contest between lafayette and le high will take place the game will mark the thirty-second anniversary of the first titanic struggle between the two institutions to one who has never seen a la capt maginnes fullback fayette football game a rare treat will be in store for him one of the largest crowds ever jammed in to march field is expected to be present this crowd is more than the typical big game football crowd it is a crowd of loyal lafayette and lehigh men who will never concede a victory until the final whistle has blown the game tomorrow will be a reg ular lafayette-lehigh encounter anybody's game is the correct ex pression to use the season's rec ord is of little value comparative scores are worth less the team that will win is the team that fights the hardest the longest and 1 gets what is known in football as the breaks commenting upon the game the lafayette the college weekly of the eastonians says '' in spite of the fact that lehigh has a strong combination lafayette fig ures that she at an even has least continued on sixth page lafayette gets poor start team improves as season pro gresses now in fine form coach crowell has had a hard time at lafayette this year with only three regulars of last year's team to beigin with and the loss of all but weldfon and taylor of the star back of the year before it meant the rebuilding of the team the season was begun by tieing the strong fordham team 0-0 the next three games were veritable riots for lafayette — swarthmore ursinus and princeton defeating the ma roon team in the order named the team began to brace the week fol lowing the princeton game after the tigers had swamped the eas tonians 33-0 the team bucked up and defeated 27 to 14 the strong lebanon valley aggregation which the week previous had held lehigh to a 3-3 tie the next saturday pennsylvania was held to 19-0 a very creditable showing for lafayette the lafay ette has to say the game was sim ply the old story of a fighting team going down before another team of the same type but of a better class the most disastrous part of the game was the injury to wel don with this veteran out of the game lafayette not only lost a good player but a man whose in jury had a rather demoralizing ef fect on the players albright was defeated in an easy game and a week ago today perm state trimmed the maroon 40-0 al though the lafayette team was hardly used and nearly the whole squad participated one cause for the poor showing of the past season is due to the loss of lowe the star lineman of last year's game who is enrolled at fordham while scott and lake are on the ineligible list lafayette's record lafayette

informing press when lehigh and lafayette play no matter how good or how bad the season is the spectator is sure to see a hard game this is the verdict of men who have been closely watching the athletic rela tions of the two teams for the past three decades the history of the annual game will show that in the number of games won and lost lafayette has an advantage of five the period may be roughly divided into three parts the first two years lafayette was superior then to 1894 lehigh won from 94 to 1912 with now and then a sur prise lafayette was a consistent victor keady came to lehigh and turned out several winners but last year came a reverse the new period is too young to be judged prof h r reiter head of the physical education department is sued the following statement on the the following statement on the game ' ' the first step necessary to win is to believe you can if you think you're beaten you are if you think you dare not you don't if you like to win but feel you can't it's almost a cinch you won't i believe this is the phi losophy that should underlie all athletic endeavors be it under stood we are not deceived by the 40 to 0 score perm state made against lafayette last week state practically made the same score last year yet lehigh received one of the worst defeats she has had in years i believe nevertheless if lehigh can break up lafayette's forward passing game the result will be assured judging from the games in the past the contest will be hard fought — any team which can play pennsylvania to a stand still in the first half and perm beat state 15 to 0 must be feared by a lehigh team especially when driven by desperation on its own grounds lehigh should win from a comparative showing but those who follow the fortunes of football know that there are internal and external factors which taken at the opportune moment form a decisive factor in the outcome of the con test a special feature of saturday's game will be the press service for a special wire from the sidelines to the press box which will provide good service to newspaper men covering the game with the co operation of the western union company this scheme has been worked out the details of the various plays will be given to art operator who will send them from a table placed on the sidelines over the wire to the press box the operator in the stand will receive them and they will be called to the press representative through a megaphone one lafayette and one lehigh man will give the plays to the field operator the man who carries the ball the man who makes the tackle fumbles penal ties and every detail of the game will go over the wire all of this will be done so quickly that the press will have every play com plete before the next play is begun the brown and
