entertainment and a pleasant evening to all meniber who attend tomorrow night at easton the brown and white basketball team will meet the lafayette team for the first time this year the game prom ises to be a very close and interest ing one if comparison of scores can be depended on for anything just before the christmas holidays the brown and white quintet went down to annapolis and was handed a 28-14 defeat by the middies last saturday the lafayette team took the same trip dropping the game by a 27-13 score comparing the scores we find that the margin of the vic tory in both cases was 14 points and rates the two teams on an equal basis however it was stated at the time of the lafayette game that the passing and shooting of the maroon and white five was very ragged and unless it has improved considerably cmrinig the past week lehigh should have a little the better of the argu ment coach murphy has been working his meni hard all week in order to get them into their best possible torm he has been very wellsatis fied with their work so far and al though they have met defeat on every foreign floor they are profit ing by the experience they are gain ing and should improve steadily from now on it must be remem bered that the teams that have de feated the brown and white five have been of the best calibre navy has won six straight victor ies so far and is on her way to one of her most successful basketball seasons the lehigh quintet went up against this team with a lot of fight and spirit and made the mid shipmen work for the victory cor nell is conceded to have one of the best basketball teams in the east and a loss to them by a 24-13 score is no disgrace the other game was lost to catholic university by a 29-27 score and was a hard battle the injustice of the referee led sore people to believe that the game was not lost by playing alone so far all the games except the moravian ai|d muhlenberg have been played away and the lehigh student body has not seen the team in real action after a few games on foreign courts the lehigh team will return to taylor gym for a long home stretch it will be in thib period that the brown and white quintet will show its best form on a floor familiar to them and with every man in mid-season form they should carry off the honors in every contest none of the men are dis couraged by the defeats on the trips and are working harder than ever to fight until the last whistle in every game continued on page three . ; tomorrow coach murphy will take ten men along on his squad lingle and maurer will pair off as the
