struggle with the brown and white players having a slight advantage as the score in dicates the visitors scored their first and only goal about the middle of the first half it was the result of an offensive by their forward line which carried the ball down to the goal brewer the lehigh goal tender stopped the first shot for the net but in the ensuing scrimmage in front of the goal a shot went home this success of their adver sary seemed to put new life into the lehigh team and toward the end of the half they shot their first one t + , „ , t . l nli . . £ - 1-1 ., 1 -, a 1 1 it vv d.i nil

end of the initial half of the lehigh-gettysburg game and after struggling for ten minutes on the dust-laden field nine sopho mores and four freshmen were left helplessly bound the sophomores retaliated in the pants-tearing tilt held after the game and had twen ty-one frosh pantsless in a twink ling while there were but eleven of the sophomores devoid of the cus tomary from the waist down cov ering although many noses were rub bed in the dust and both sophs and frosh held helpless by the body scissors while being tied up the best of spirit prevailed throughout j the fracas few were the trousers • that remained intact and there were j laughs galore as the besmirched but ! happy hundred contestants left the pants-strewn field both classes have football base ball and relay teams practicing daily for the athletic contests yet to be staged the first-year men are put ting their hopes in their football and relay teams to win them the coveted honor of casting aside the ink spot for sunday wear owing to the ne cessity of using several of the relay men for cross-country work the freshman-sophomore relay race will probably be run off between the halves of the lehigh-toronto soc

when under a glaring sun lehigh and gettysburg battled for an hour without either team being able to shove across a score the game ending in a score less tie the orange and black clan com ing out of the west from the place made famous by pickett's charge lived up to expectations and were as strong if not stronger than ac counts from the battlefield school indicated before the game their line was like a stone wall and only on a few occasions was it weaken ed by the battering-ram plunges of the lehigh backs the brown and white squad ex hibited a consistently well-played game but lacked the power to shove the ball across the line when in po sition to score it is true that the brown and white outplayed the gettysburg team making nine first downs to two for the orange and black but this inability to shove the ball across and two attempted goals from the field which went wild robbed lehigh of the oppor tunity to inaugurate the season with an entry in the win column in the first period lehigh came within striking distance of the get tysburg goal-line emanuel kicked off and bessemer ran the ball back to the thirty-yard line after two rushes with a gain of but four yards mellinger kicked to smith who was downed in his tracks by sanford on the thirty-yard line two rushes by the orange and black netted but a few inches when mensch got away with an end run but when tackled on the fifty-yard line fumbled and reed dropped on the ball on gettysburg's forty-five yard line gettysburg was penal ized five yards for being off-side a beautiful forward pass melling er to bessemer brought the ball ten yards nearer a touchdown besse mer added six yards through left tackle and storer made a first down on the next play after bessemer failed to gain storer carried the ball to the ten-yard line bessemer advanced the ball a yard but on the next play lehigh was penalized fif teen yards and after two unsuccess ful plays gettysburg took the ball never was gettysburg dangerous the fighting was always in her ter ritory only in the department of punting did they excel the brown on saturday evening several of the fraternities held house dances primarily for the purpose of enter
