rOM KEADY, coach of the Lehigh
l. football team, stood on the sidclines
Mt TAYLOR Field yesterday and watched
his athletes run through spirited sig
nal practice. Coach Tom was all dolled
up for the occasion, wearing heavy
tvercoat buttoned at the neck, cap
pullcd down over his ears and goloshcs
surrounding his generous feet.
He was immersed in deep thought
when we approached.
What are your chances against
LAFAYETTE next Saturday." we asked.
Coach Tom turned wearily. The
question was not an original one, for
hundreds had been pulling it for weeks.
But because we were n visitor, Coach
Tom came back with the following:
ut will be n close game. Lafayette
might look good, but we have the fight.
Lehigh plays a strong defensive game.
Penn State was surprised last Saturday
and it Is likely to be the same with
Lafayette. The game will not be a
walkover and it wouldn't surprise me If
goal from the field would decide it,
Three Teams at Work
In the meantime, three teams were
running through signals. Pat Pazetti.
the great drop kicker. had charge of
the first and second clevens and Jimmy
Murphy. the former Brown quarter
back, rehcarscd the scrubs. Ready was
general supervisor. not because he liked
the job. but his doctor ordered it. Ton,
has been i'll since last Thursday and
has not yet recovered from heavy
cold. Yesterday was the first day he
has been out for nearly week.
Lchigh is all primed up for hard
game. The players are full of con-
fdencc and expect TO win. They point
with pride to their showing against
Penn State and say they would have
won if an over anxious spectator had
remained in the stands instead of rush
ing on the field and spelling an OPP
pOrtunity to score q touchdown after
a free kick. That State game has
instillcd lots of pep in the South Beth
lchemites.
Tough Schedule
Taking it all in all, the Brown an(
White has had fairly successful sea
son. The material was none too gooC
ever, only one game was lost, Wash
ington and Jefferson winning by thu
score of II to O. Tie games were playet
with West Virginia and State.
Now comes Lafayette. Physically
the team does not measure up to thu
old standards. There are no huskie'
on the squad. In fact. the varsity ha'
every appearance of high school team
Take look at the individual weights
Larkin, left end, 155; Cusick, lef
tackle. 1855 Mccarthy, left guard, 1GS
Goldman. center, 145; Maginnes, righ
guard, 10; Springstecn, right tackle
10; Gulick, right end, 100; Rote
Quarterback, 1874: Captain Harrington
back. 1872; Harper, fullback. 155.
The average weight of this team il
1j6 pounds. There isn't another col
lege team in the country as light al
that, yet Ready has been able to sent
it through a hard schedule with the los
of only one game. The line is no
strong enough to open holes for lin
plunges. so the halfbacks run the end
or throw forward passes. The bantam
have the Quickness and agility of cat
and play hard football.
Goldman q Star
Goldman. the center, weighs III
pounds, but he is star. Despite hi
lack of avoirdupOis. he manages to Civ
good account of himself and is bca
on the defense. He usually slide
through the line and tackles runner
for a loss. Springstcen, freshman
Is playing big league football for til
first time and is fierce tackler.
Ready says his ends. Larkin and Gu
lick, are the best he ever has seen. III
Is proud of his wingmen and feels tha
they will do great work against Lafay
ettc.
Lchigh probably will play defensiv
game on Saturday. This has been sue
ccsSful all season and it is too late I
change it now. The South Bethlehem
ties have profted by the mistakes G
their opponents in the previous games
Mike Wilson. who has been playin
