Fontaine Notre Dame is believed to

Desperate fighting has marked the

Hourlon Wood, where numerous and
valuable observation posts had been es

At Mitetivres, where the British mado
further advances, field guns captured
from the Germans were turned almost
point-blank on the retreating enemy.
Close hand-to-hand work marked the

At dawn the British assaulted the

this afternoon. At the end of the first half
the Brown and White' held the long end of
a 32 to 0 score
The Lehigh points came as the result of
a safety and touchdown In tho tlrst period
and four touchdowns In the second. Tho
playing ot Wysockle and Herrlngton was
the feature of the rlrrt half.f
Three minutes ufter the game started,
Lafayette received one of Wysockl's lonh
punts on Us 12-yard lln. On the Becond
play, Saxmati, Lehigh's left end, tackled
Smith behind Ms goal line for a safety.
From then on Lafayette was kept on the
defensive. A desperate stand was made In
the second period, Lehigh being held three
times on tho 1 yard line. The Marooi.
and White, however, weakened under tho
strain and on the fourth attempt Wyuockl
carried the bull over. -
