...Chief among its victories are the 14 to 7 defeat of Dartmouth, and the decisive 28 to 8 defeat of the University of Pennsylvania team, coached by Heisman, the master of shift formations. The next three games, however, will give the Blue and White a still better chance to prove its power. Next Saturday they meet the giant Nebraska "Cornhuskers," who are considered the heaviest eleven in the country, without an exception. Lehigh follows the Westerners in an extremely arduous schedule.

Not only in the kicking and running game, but also in a visible serial attack they should prove something, as J. J. Lee has a pair of wingmen who have been teaming up well as forwards in the veteran L. C. Larrabee and R. Pantoleoni, starting his first game at left end.
