swarthmore by a score of 6 to 0 and stevens by a score of sto 1 by the comparison of these scores it looks as though the johns hopkins team had somewhat the advantage over the brown and white men but it must be remem bered that comparative scores count for little in a game between two such evenly matched teams as will compete for the championship tomorrow afternoon the lehigh lacrosse men are in excellent condition and will be able to put up their best game against the black and gold men tomorrow maurer who has been out of the game on account of a sprained ankle will be back on the job to morrow as will spanagel who sprained his angle in practice dur ing the early part of the week straub jennes and ne&slebush can also be counted on to play their usual good game for the brown and white the line-up will be as follows : lehigh : spanagel g ;
