the course of the first quarter bucknell is not a powerful combination in fact in the opinion of the lehigh coaches it is the most poorly developed team that they have met with this year however in wally diehl the bisons have one of the best backs in the east it was this fleet-footed fullback that scored the four touch downs in saturday's game throughout the season it has been noticed that the lehigh team tackled poorly but last saturday bucknell could gain very little by line plunging they gained consistently by running back punts skirting the ends and by reversing their field with an unexpected cut back through the line the brown and white line was superior to that of the or ange and blue this was no ticed particularly when lehigh finally took the offensive the lehigh backs tore through ga ping holes only to be stopped by an able bucknell secondary defense con on page 3 col i ) the first quarter was prac tically nip and tuck lehigh failed to gain a first down observatory

frosh on the short end of the total the lehigh frosh contest is the letter game for the school boys and they always point to ward it and give everything that they have to bring about a victory this fact seemed to add inspiration to the unusual ly strong team that they have this year and they completely outclassed the brown and white first year men the first quarter ended with the score at 28-0 and when the teams trotted off the field for the intermission the scoreboard read 41-0 the scores in the first half were made by wilson cooper forester and titus during the second half berling er forester wilson and pet erson were responsible for ad ditional scoring and the game ended with the total at 69-0 the great superiority of the schoolboys lay in the fact that they continually played the ball ; they were always on hand to pounce on fumbles and inter cepted several attempted lateral passes by the brown and white frosh only once did they suc ceed in putting across a score through the medium of rushing ; all the other touchdowns result ed from intercepted forwards recovered fumbles or by the aerial route in which depart ment of the game they were developed to a high point of ef
