The Lehigh eleven is one that should
be watched closely this season. Judg-
ing by the showing Of the team in it's
first game, which was played Satur-
day, it ought to be one of the strong
est secondary elevens of the year. The
Carlisle Indians were able to beat AL
bright by a score of only % to 0, yet
Lehigh ran UP Ga points against the
same eleven. which would apparently
indicate that the South Bethlehem in
stitution will be represented by a team
even stronger than that which was
turned out in 1912.
Lehigh went through a succession

best. It defeated the Navy and gained
victories over Lafayette and Swarth-
cess with which the season was opened
to believe that. barring accident an
other good year is begun. Lehigh will
probably have a stronger aggregation
than in 1912 and is likely to be placed
at the very top OF the secondary
schools.
It is interesting to note that Emmet
Mccarthy. who captained the Technical
High eleven the last year 1t won the
championship. is member Of the Lehigh
team. He has been playing left tackle
and is said to be one Of the best linemen
on the squad. His work has been good
enough In practice to attract the atten-
ton Of outside critics, as well as that Of
his own coaches. Mccarthy was at Wes-
leyan before he entered Lehigh.
There will be two college games here
this week. Three OF the local institutions
are scheduled to play. but one, GAL

to win from M. A. C. The Farmers de-
feated it last fall rather easily. 46 to o,
but it is not often that the school is rep
resented by as poor an eleven as that it
turned out then.
The school teams will soon begin their
practice contests. The opening Of the
high school schedule Is not far of, and
it is always customary for them to play
two or three times against the prepara-
tory elevens before engaging In the series
which determines the scholastic title.
Also Cathedral, Army and Navy Prep
and the Georgetown Props will be out
with teams soon, and all will likely be
represented by capable aggregations, If
the reports are to be credited in their en-
tirety.
Some rather interesting comparisons
are to be gained looking at the foot ball
scores Of Saturday beside those made
by the same teams In 1912. In some
cases they seem to presage a lower and
In others a high standard for the sched-
ules OF this fall. While these COMPARE
sons are far from accurate, as far as
giving a definite Idea as to the relative
strength of the teams goes, yet ofttimes
they are worth looking over and some
times they do show what is really the
case.
Here is a list OF the games PLAYED Sat-
urday and also the scores between the
same teams when they met In 1912, If
they met at all then:
