resistance aiid held lehigh to two touchdowns and a field goal the second half found their line weakening and the brown and white backs plowed their way through for long gains each run the only serious injury during the game came in the second period when henzelman who was carrying the ball around right end was tackled and fell on his side dislocating his left elbow the in jury it is thought will keep km out of the game at least two wee":s and his loss will be keenly felt by coach keady as his line plungirg is always good for a gain and lie plays a strong defensive game buzz herrington also receiv ed a minor injury in this period and retired in favor of coleman whose work during the balance of the game was of a high order tn the absence of coach keady the team was in charge of pat pazetti lehigh s all american quarterback of several years ago who has devoted a great deal of time this fall in helping keady handle his large squad in the second half he made a great many substitutions without apparently weakening the playing strength of the team to any great extent probabh the outstanding feature of the game came in the second period when herrington kicked a beautiful goal from the 40-yard line the kick was perfect in direc tion and cleared the crossbar with several yards to spare the other bright spots in the contest from a lehigh point of view were the line plunging of douglas liston cad son and cousins and the end runs of coleman while the work of spagna and booth on the line tine and time again threw the agg'as for a loss a marked improveme it was shown in lehigh s interf erer e on end runs continued on third page the initial touchdown was ma le during the first fewrninutes of play booth kicked off to swarr vho fumbled giving lehigh the ball on
