be offered by the home team as the visitors showed a decided superiority in a hard and clean game the nittany lions were certainly a smooth-working combination ; their attack was fast and accu rate in the passing and receiv ing department while the de fense showed itself well able to take care of any extra opposing attack men some objections may be sustained by lehigh rooters on account of the strict enforcement of rules by the two officials but in defense of these two men it can be said that they acted in accordance with the movement to make la crosse a cleaner and more sci entific game lehigh has been noted for its rather rough tac tics in the past and perhaps mr goldsmith was watching a bit too closely for roughness on the part of the home team at any rate the brown and white suffered a half dozen penalties last saturday some of them were obvious others were arbi trary however it must be continued on page four a little band of six sturdy athletes that journeyed to un ion's

engage the snappy franklin and marshall acad emy batsmen and thence to mercersburg to meet the annual rivals the final score of the lancaster game was 8 to 7 in favor of the f & m team the game was one of many errors each team making about the same number of them both teams were able to make a number of hits lehigh made nine and f & m made eleven the most notable feature of the game was the splendid playing of strauss and mayes both of these men have played won derful baseball this season and should be promising material for next year's varsity be sides being an excellent left fielder strauss is a pitcher of great ability he proved this many times during the season especially during the lafayette game about two weeks ago with their game last satur day with mercersburg the frosh concluded their season although the season could not be taken as a huge success it showed that the frosh were able to play ball and should furnish promising material for next year's varsity especially in the pitching and catching staffs continued on page four the brown and white line up was strauss if mccarthy cf bratton rf davidowitz lb schultz 2b maloney 3b last saturday afternoon the varsity tennis team decisively defeated lafayette by a score of six to three although the maroon team won three of the matches there was little doubt of the final score as the b and w netmen had a decided advan tage in the other matches neil sullivan displayed an unusually good brand of tennis in his match with moore the lafayette no 1 man and al though the score by which he beat his opponent does not sound decisive sullivan had the upper hand most of the time this match was undoubtedly the most sensational of the af ternoon trumbull had little difficulty with wendt beating him 6-0 6-2 malloy was on the road to victory in the first set winning 7-5 but his oppon ent came back in the next two sets and won them 6-3 6-1 usher also won his first set 6-2 but dropped the following two by a score of 6-4 6-2 usher and frey experienced little trouble in disposing with their opponents continued on page four in the doubles moore and lombard of lafayette quickly overpowered sullivan and mal loy in the first set by a score of 6-2 ; but the next set was hard fought the lafayette team fi nally winning 8-6 lehigh em erged victorious in the three other doubles matches making the final score six to three

lehigh will next year offer to its arts students and to any others interested — valuable courses in journalism and in the fine arts just how great the demand for these courses will be is a matter which the future will disclose but it is safe to say that many men es pecially in the arts college and the civil engineering school will see in the establishment of these new repartments oppor tunities for which they have often hoped further develop ment of journalism and the fine arts will depend on the strength of the demand if the demand warrants development will fol low and opportunities will in crease continued on page four as a result of its desire for expansion the college of arts and science has long realized the need for jornalism and the fine arts and for as long a
