LEBANON HAS HER
"DUTCH UP" FOR
FRIDAY'S GAME
Realizing that they must win
the contest Friday night against
Tech to stay in the Central Penn
pennant hunt, Lebanon is com
ing hero at the end of the week
with the do or die spirit. Hu
mor has it that the Lebanonites
will charter a special train to be
run on the Reading road to bring
their enthusiasts to this city.
When Lebanon has a winner
there is no better sporting ele
ment than is to bo found in the
Lebanon community. The 'Dutch'
are back of their Red and Blue
lads to a man. York, with a tail
end team, brought a hundred
rooters to the city last Friday.
A shell was dropped Into the
Tech camp *to-day when it be- !
came known that some of the
Maroon athletes are likely to be |
found on the "casualty" list fol- 1
lowing last week's examinations.
That the team will be minus some i
of its element when Lebanon |
plays hero was admitted this |
morning by Faculty Director <
Grubb. To play, an athlete must [
maintain fifteen hours of class 1
work with an average in each of
over 70 per cent. This rule is
rigidly enforced at Tecli where
more than one player has been
disqualified because of poor class
standing.
The Juniors and Seniors will
be pitted against each other in
the interclass leagiie as a pre
liminary to the Tecli-Lbanon
fray. The teams are evenly
matched and will make a good
battle against each other. Dane- |
Ing will follow the contests.
