suitable for anything rather than a hard football game the brown and white overcame stiff opposition to humble the collegeville elev en flashing an attack in the last quarter that carried every thing before it the lehigh team in four successive plays march ed 37 yards to cross the goal line although the sun caused the players on both teams to tire early in the game the spir it and the potential strength of what proved to be a conditioned lehigh team came to the fore the backfield opening up a fur ious attack that found its mo mentum in a beautiful forward pass from davidowitz to tom my burke felt itself mementar ily halted but on its next op portunity made ursinus back off the field in the waning minutes of play after an exchange of punts lehigh lost the ball on downs on ursinus 25 yard line black punted for the visitors the kick rolling back to his own 38 yard line where it was touched down by a ursinus man then dav idowitz who featured the game with his hard plunging through tackle broke through cut back and was finally downed on ur sinus 15-yard line by moyer the last man between him and a touchdown eager for a tally with the stands yelling wildly for a touchdown the team scor ed a first down when simes gained 2 yards through the line on the next play van blarcom tore around right end to the 2 yard line then hitting center he went over for the touchdown davidowitz attempt for the point after touchdown went slightly wide of the goal posts throughout the battle the visitors failed to seriously threaten but played a good de fensive game both teams lined up as being quite heavy but even though lehigh's backfield was light it used straight foot ball to make its most substan tial gains davidowitz opened the game continued on page six sophs lay plans to defeat frosh

the house to be presented by hanes-allais inc at drown hall tonight under the auspices of the junior class has had a rich varied experience of roles the last two years mr allais parts have ranged all the way from the tragic intensity of a christian martyr in androcles and the lion to the broad com edy of t-bone with richard bennett in the barker among the most difficult parts he has been called upon to en act was that of the statue of love in a recent new york pro duction of prunella in this role he was required to stand immobile for more than one half hour before coming to life mr allais says that he finds the part of manson in the ser vant in the house more thor oughly to his liking than any of the things he has done it is a role which provides constant challenge and inspiration to the actor engaged in its interpreta tion the class in the new b a course journalism began to cultivate a nose for news last friday when it took a trip through south bethlehem's newspaper plant the

the ursinus game between the halves of the game however they collected in the center of the field for their annual shoe rush after piling all their shoes in the center of the field the class was divided into two sections — one section placed at either end of the gridiron at a given sig nal the two masses rushed for the center of the field — and also their shoes so great was the excitement in the rush that a large number of yearlings left the grounds without shoes or with pairs many sizes too large or small for them the snake dance of the freshmen was omitted at this period due to the lack of time between halves after the rush all the frosh returned to the stands to wit ness the remainder of the con test burr competitors all men who desire to com pete for the burr staff are requested to
