with three victories, two defeats
and a tie.

In 1898, when the Red and Black
eleven, captained by. ''Bill" Theu.

Lafaseette was victorious in the
next two meetings, winning by a
score of IL to in 102 and II to s
In 1905. The 102 Washington.Jef.
ferson eleven was captained by Roy
Hayes, Of Latrobe, and that in 1905
by w. A. James. The coaches
Of the 1905 eleven were Frank A.
Piekarski, now a practicing at.
torney IN Pittsburgh, and Colonel
John Aiken, of Washington.
David G. Morrow, head coach
Of the Presidents this year, par.
ticfpated in the 1906 struggle
and played one Of the greatest
games Of his career. The East.
Onians that year, although strong
tavOriteS. were unable to over
come a six.pOint lead held by
the Presidents until Morrow was
carried to the sidelines with .
badly sprained ankle.
W. & J. evened the count in 1915,
defeating Lafayette IT to 0. It was
the most decisive victory of the
series. Wesbecher, Of Greensburg,
captained the w. & j. team that
year and Bob Folwell, now at the
Navy, was head coach with Bur-
leigh Cruikshank as his assistant.
Defeating New York in the spec.
tacular game in 1922 in New York
by a score Of II to 10, the Presidents
took the lead in the series again. The
thrilling victory of Captain Wayne

years. the Presidents winning when

Lafayette made a determined
effort to even up the series last
fall in the second contest in New
York and, although outplaying w.

accept a 9 to 6 tie.
Lafayette this year has an eleven
that is fully as strong IL not
stronger than it's 1922 and 1923
teams, and w. & ]. expects the
contest to be as hard as any on
its schedule this year, although
followers Of the Red and Black
feel that the Pitt and West Vir.
ginia contests, which close the
season, will be fully as strenuous
and hard fought.

In Lamar, David, baggage and

brilliant backfield quartet. There
were times when the Business
line stopped these backs in their

times when they pIOwed through
for long gains. Lamar, captain

Business for long gains. He

losers all the way.
Lamar showed also that he could

Boardman Munson, center for
Business, is the bright star for his
team. Hardened football players

him one Of the best defensive players

Munson was almost a whole team in
