f nick borrelli last saturday afternoon led a fighting muh lenberg team to its third suc cessive victory over lehigh after losing steadily before a wonderful lehigh aerial attack in the first half the cardinal and gray came back in the sec ond to take advantage of two fatal mistakes winning 13-3 the first half was clearly lehigh's raleigh and davido witz played splendidly and were the backbone of a brilliant aerial offensive in the first quarter which advanced the ball from lehigh's 30-yard line into a scoring position on muh lenberg's 15-yard line from here davidowitz kicked a pret ty placement goal for three points in the second quarter despite the fact that muhlen berg out-punted the brown and white in the ratio of two yards to one lehigh was quite her opponents equal stopping a dangerous muhlenberg attack on the 10-yard line and starting an assault upon the muhlen berg goal line which was only halted by the ending of the half after a fifty-five yard ad vance had been made in this half lehigh made six first downs all on forward passes to her opponent's four just as truly the second half was clearly muhlenberg's by three exchanges of punts in which muhlenberg out-punted lehigh four yards to three the visitors gained forty yards and a fifteen yard run by nick borrelli brought the ball to le high's 25-yard line after hold ing muhlenberg in a plucky stand and taking the ball on downs the brown and white team threw a pass which nick borrelli intercepted and car ried over for a touchdown the other muhlenberg score came in the fourth period when le high with the ball on her 27 yard line attempted three for ward passes the first was grounded the second caught out of bounds and the third in tercepted by evans of muhlen berg on the next play nick borrelli went over for a touch down in this half lehigh made two first downs both by davidowitz while muhlenberg made only one the game contained many continued on page three business society to meet thursday first number of review

danger of losing the contest after having lost one prom ising chance to score in the first quarter when the ball was fumbled on drexel's twelve yard line elliott bucked his way across the goal line for the first touchdown before the game was five minutes old this tal ly came after harris full-back got around left-end for a 25 yard advance and placed the pigskin on the eight-yard mark it was in this quarter that drexel had its only hopeful chance to score palese dim inutive quarterback recovered a lehigh fumble on his own 37 yard line and followed this break by registering a first down after hard pounding at the center of the frosh de fense however the opportun ity was lost when gadd recov ered the ball as it rolled away from the tackled drexel full back lehigh punted out of danger and henceforth kept matters well in hand the second quarter opened with the ball in drexel's pos session a completed pass the first of the game netted 12 yards which were lost after the next play when a 15-yard pen alty for holding was imposed drexel punted to elliott who returned to the 33 yard line continued on page four alpha kappa psi honorary fraternity of the college of business administration
