Lacrosse Team Loses
The State lacrosse team stiffei
ed defeat in the first two game
of the season. At Lehigh, against
last years state champions, we
were defeated by a score of 10-2
while the team lost to the strong
Indian twelve by a 12-2 score. In
both games the State defense
.seemed unable to break up the
excellent team work of the oppon
ents.
The Lehigh game was ten
close and hard fought in the first
half which ended 2-2. Farley and
Matthews scoring for State In
the second half, however, the de
fense weakened and the game
ended 10-2 in favor of Lehigh.
Against the Indians the team
was far from being in the best of
condition and at the end of the
first half Farley and Pope scored
while the winners added three
more goals. Coons placed a
strong game at defense while in
both games. Captain Farley dis
played his usual ability.

The basketball executive com
mittee last week elected W. G.
Caldwell as the manager of var
sity basketball for the coming sea
son. The zeal and loyalty with
which each of the several candid
ates for this position entered up
on his duties made it difficult for
the committee to select the best
man; and only after much con
sideration was a final decision
reached.
As a result of further elections
the following men were chosen as
assistant managers; C. R. Mason,
J. A. Jackson and J. P. McCulloch.
