meeting of y m c a delayed fall practice in lacrosse under way the fall lacrosse practice has started and some forty men includ ing many of last year's squad and a host of new men have reported to manager l l drew all new men interested in la crosse should take advantage of this fall practice as there will not be any scrimmaging the main idea being to teach the new men the art of handling the stick so that they will be able to make rapid progress in the spring as the athletic association does not have enough sticks to go around all new men are asked to provide their own and manager drew will be glad to assist anyone having difficulty in procuring a stick the prospects look bright for turning out another championship team this season as there are enough of last year's team left to provide an excellent nucleus around which to build the squad will be coached this fall by charles lattig and dr w l estes both of whom are inter ested in the sport no definite schedule for next season has been decided upon but games will prob ably be arranged with johns hop kins swarthmore perm rutgers and perm state the old men who are back are headed by captain c c strauch who is also aiding in

man coxe and de mover lehigh university went to platts burg this summer nearly one hun dred and fifty strong and came home triumphant of the 147 stu dents who attended the camp 130 were freshmen taking the basic course and 17 were sophomores and upper classmen taking the ad vanced course so it is easily seen that most of the credit belongs to this year's sophomore class of all the honors carried off by the lehigh delegation two stand out above the rest ( ne was the win ning of the intercollegiate rirle match with which went the honor of representing their camp and col lege at camp perry ohio in the national intercollegiate matches and the other was the fact that the seventh company composed entire ly of lehigh men was graded by the i nspecti in ivj ta^rjmeryt : a tfctf best company in camp the following is quoted from a letter received by maj |. w lang from colonel george j h olden professor of military science and tactics at the university of ver mont and r ( ). t c camp com mander : it affords me great pleasure to congratulate lehigh university up on its excellent standing at this cam you already know that at tendance at this camp by the stu dents from lehigh was made com pulsory by your institutional au thorities you are also aware of the fact that you had approximate ly 150 students at this cam the seventh company was made up entirely of lehigh stu dents and it carried off the honor of being the best company in camp as graded and determined by the inspection department grades were awarded for each individual student attending the camp and were consolidated by institutions at the close of camp the average of all lehigh students was above that of any other institution so that your institution carries the unique disr tinction of having had the highest company in camp and of being the highest institution in the camp this excerpt came from their company commander to major j w lang having had an all-lehigh com pany at the plattsburg r ( ). t c infantry camp the past summer i ontinrrcn on page four october 8 will be founder's day lehigh prys open the lid of the 1921 gridiron season to-morrow afternoon in taylor stadium when the brown and white eleven meets the team from susquehanna university due to the pitt-lafay ette game in easton on the same day it has been decided to start the game promptly at 1.30 o'clock so that those who desire may see the conflict in easton the initial game of the season has been awaited with eagerness by lehigh followers as little informa tion has filtered through the veil of secrecy under which the team has been practicing however the line up which starts the game to-morrow is expected to show greater strength than has been looked for as under the intensive training of coach click progress has been rapid susquehanna university makes its initial appearance at lehigh on saturday little was known of their football team until last season when it sprang into prominence by holding holding colgate to a tie score and playing several other good games this year susque hanna is expected to have a strong er team than that of last season six letter men are back and the new material is of fairly good cal ibre susquehanna's line is heavy and will probably outweigh the le high line the squad has been prac ticing for thee weeks often as much as seven hours a day and is in good trim for the opening game rogie a 200-pound guard sweeney and baker are the stars in the line while christian is a mainstay in the back field in addition to the game with le high susquehanna has quite an am bitious schedule army colgate and bucknell being among others played the lehigh line-up is in doubt at present the line appears to be the strongest part of the team just now containing besides last year's veterans some good new men and should weigh more than last year's line the back field will neces*sarily be made up principally of new men since rote is the only varsity man from last year in college lehigh is not expected to win by a very large score due to the de sire of coach click to bring the eleven on slowly in preparation for later games if a safe margin is acquired substitutes will be given a chance to work out continued on page four the line-up of the susquehanna team is sweeny l f ; baker l t ; l'pdegraff l (].; stumpfler c ; briggs r i rogowitz r rushing notice to avoid any
