What Dartmouth has done this season
In basket ball comes very near emitting
the Hanover men to any intercollegiate
championship so-called, that may be fig-
ured out. That depends, OF course, largely
on whether Yale wins the championship
OF the regular intercollegiate basket ball
league, made up of Columbia, Cornell,
Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Yale. At present the indications are that
Yale will be the leader in this organiza-
ton. The handy victory OF Dartmouth
over Yale not long since shows the quail
ity Of the Hanoverians.
The credit for the practically unbroken
series OF victories OF Dartmouth lie as
signed to the captain Of the team. George
w. Grebenstein. Grebenstein Is considered
one Of the fastest forwards in the college
world. He has played on the team since
he entered college and during that time he
has met and outplayed most Of the crack
guards Last season he was picked for the
all New England college basket ball Ave.
His best work was In the game against
Pennsylvania this year at Hanover. At
the time the Quakers had all the prestige
OF being the holders of the championship
of the intercollegiate league. Grebensteln
scored % points by field baskets out of 81
made by Dartmouth. Pennsylvania got
only rs points.
Two Veterans to start.
Grebenstein built up his team around two
veterans OF the 1905 Ave. When the sea-
son opened only he and Lang were in col
lege. Lang Is a very fast player at center
and an unusual man because, although he
weighs 200 pounds, he Is very active He
was a tackle on the foot ball team last
fall and learned how to handle his weight
In that place. Lang made the basket ball
team as freshman and showed such apti-
tude In his play that he was named for the
all New England five, too.
or the new men on the team Richard
Lane had years experience as a sub
stitute guard. He Is a hard man to score
on and besides is an accurate shot. He
was out of the game for a time and his
place was taken by Dingle, who prepared
at Williston and learned the game there
Dingle improved HIS opportunity and
showed that he was likely to be frst-rate
man for next season. at any event.
Dartmouth was very fortunate In getting
Schildmiller. who was at Cornell two sea.
sons ago and played foot ball there. He
played basket bali in his prep. school, too
schildmiller guards closely. but has de-
veloped habit Of stealing away from his
man to take an unexpected pass. Through
out the season he has made a good record
In this way and has scored as many bask-
cts as his opponents, which is a rare rec
ord for a guard.
Francis Brady, the other forward on the
team, is freshman He played a great
deal in practice before It was seen what a
good man he was. He has been able tc
help out great deal, because the opposing
! teams generally have put the best guard
against Grebenstein Brady, who is a good
shot, thus has been let more alone. Wher
fed the ball by his teammates, when at
tention was being called to Grebenstein
he generally managed to slip in a goal.
