    SOLDIER BOYS WON. One-Sided Game with Lehigh at West Point. WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov 6.-In a perfect gale of wind Lehigh met the cadets on the field today, and the game was absolutely one-sided from the beginning, West Point winning As to 6. The strong team sent out by the soldier boys, that held Yale down to a tie score last week, simply p.owed through Lehigh’s line for touch-downs when and where they pleased.
