NEWARK ACADEMY
LOSES HARD GAME

Pennington Seminary's basketball play
ers, who defeated the Swarthmore Col
lege team Tuesday night, OH the latter's
court, by a score of 46 to %, found the
crippled Newark Academy basketball team
a bit harder to handle on the locals court
yesterday afternoon, but managed to score
just twice as many points as the wearers
of the red and black, the final figures be-
ing SO TO 10.
The visitors form beyond a doubt one of
the speediest aggregations that ever struck
the High street institution, Gieg, their
centre, was the bright star, for he tossed
in no less than ten goals from the field,
the majority being long shots from diff
cult angles. and three free throws, for a
total of % points. He was. however, at
least eighteen inches taller than George
Bissell. and this helped him much. The
s%eminarians passed the ball over the heads
of The home team and invariably Gieg
caught l.. and when he disposed Of It, in
most cases, It went for two points. Fell
mey also demonstrated that he knew a
thing or two about shooting baskets, and
he had five deuces to his credit. Beger,
with five points, did the best work for the
academy boys and Caparon and Bissell
were not far behind.
The P-enningtonites claimed they were at
a great disadvantage, as they play the
National League rules, which permit drib-
bling and shooting. At any rate, they
showed that they were basketball artists
from the word go, and while the locals
held them down during the first period and
kept the score on ever terms during the
early part Of it, the visiting players walked
away from the locals in the final. During
the first round the score was 16 to IL IN
favor of the seminarians.
rs ust al, the home team was without
the service of their quartet of best play
ers. Thes, we're outweighed and weaker

changes were made at intervals, but the

WALTHOUR PICKS
RUTT-STOL TEAM

Bobby Walthour, the winner Of two six
day races, can see no team but Rutt and
Stol to capture first money in the race
which ends tonight.
1.-THE more ! watch this German, Walter
Rutt," said Walthour last night, "the more
| am convinced that he is a marvel. He
has not only made a wonderful showing in
the race. but has been at it every minute
of the time. What impresses me most
about him is his wonderful staying power,
combined with a %sprinting ability that
never seems to give out, no matter how
great the strain.
THE bicycle fans in this country really
nave no idea how good this German is.
Over in Europe he was rated as a Splinter
in the class of such men as Frank Kramer,
Thorwald Ellegaard, Victor Dupre, Ed
mund Jacquelin and other short-distance
men, and he made so good in that elassSthat
Europeans would think 1t impossible for
him to stay in a long grind like the one he
is now riding in. That makes his present
feat all the more wonderful.
"Rutt seems not to be affected in the
least by the gruelling plugging that a
six-day rider must go through. At the
same time, when it comes TO a sprint he
is ready to 60 out and follow the pace as il
he had Just come on the track for a short
race.
when / chose him to win the race with
his partner, Stol, 1 had taken all these
things into consideration. But I had no
idea just how good he was. Last years
race at the Garden first called my atten-
ton to his riding In a long race, and
when L saw him in the sprint races in
Europe later l acquired a great deal of
respect for his ability.
"Rutt showed his clever judgment when
he chose this little fellow, Stol, as his
team mate. Stol, while he is able to fol-
low the sprints in the long race, is much
more valuable in a six-day race for his
plugging ability. Stol never seems to get
played out, never minds following a sprint,
never esprints, but he is just good enough
to hold his own against any of the other
riders in this race, and that is enough TO
make him a valuabl asset on any team
"Rutt, as / said before. outclasses any
of the other riders, and Stol is as good as
the rest. Fogler. and Moran are undoubt-
eddy n great team, and deserve plenty
of credit for the way they nave taken
the front. Fogler is the sprinter Of the
pair, and ( there is no change in the
present situation he will be chosen to
ride out the finish against Rutt. ! do not
hesitate to say that he will be beaten. In
this country no bicycle expert would think
of rating Fogler in the same class as
Frank Kramer. Still, Rutt is in Kramer's
class, and therefore should be able to beat
Fogler."
