resulted in a scoreless tie the brooklyn team has always been very fast in past years and has resorted mainly to an aerial attack and the lehigh coaches are expecting the same sort of tactics this season the brown and white varsity thanks to the strenuous training program of austy tate and his as sistants hymie goldman and chuck hess is in splendid physi cal condition scrimmages have been almost daily occurrences with in the past two weeks and the men feel that the game tomorrow will almost be a let down when com pared to the workouts that they have been having the result of this training program is that le high should have a hard driving team that should be able to play an entire game at nearly top speed beside the varsity team there is plenty of good material available among the scrubs so that should anything happen to any of the first string players austy will be able to call on these men for replace ments the length of the periods of to morrow's game will depend en
