Lehigh Strong Against Tigers.
Princeton defeated Lehigh II to at
Princeton yesterday in the hardest-fought
game of the season. Twice the visitors were
within fifteen yards of Princeton's goal, and
once they came so near a touchdown that
Captain Farabaugh and Coach Newton of
Lehigh felt justified In making a strenuous
protest against the decision of Referee
Young. This happened in the second half,
when Lehigh had the ball on Prnceton's
twenty-fve-yard line. On the first scrimA
mage Lehigh was forced OUT OF bounds.
While the teams were apparently walking
in fifteen yards for the scrimmage, L. Fara-
baugh. the Lehigh quarterback. touched
the ball down at the side lines and kicked
1T over the Tigers goal line. Before any
one realized what had happened Farabaugh
had fallen on the pigskn and the Lehigh
Tooters were dancing with joy.
Captain De Witt, however, put up
strong protest to Referee Young, and the
Tiger coaches also joined in the objection.
After an argument lasting nearly g. half
hour, Referee Young decided that the Le-
high player had not put the ball in play.
Easy for Pennsy.

noon. Although the score was the largest
that the Quakers have made this year, the
work of the Red and Blue was far from
satisfactory to the coaches
In the first half only five touchdowns
were made, and Penns regulars lost the
ball three times on downs and had to kick
many more times to avoid losing it. SO
loose was the attack of the first team that
the coaches began to send In substitutes
after the first ten minutes, Bennett and
Meter being the first men sent to side
lines.
In the second half almost an entirely new
eleven was in the field, and as result the
play of Red and Blue was of a whirlwind
order. Although this period was shorter
than the first half by five minutes. the
Ond men scored seven touchdowns Smiths
goal kicking was especially accurate, as he
kicked every one of the twelve goals, sew
