BY trimming the University OF Penn
pylvsnia team. q TO Is and being
!. never out OF the lead except for FEW
moments in the early stages when
Penn crepr up to a tie, the club team
stamped itself as an opponent capab!o
Of Giving any team In the country n
atm argument. Speed and good pass
ing were the strong points of the team
play and, though the club team only
held Penn even on the field baskets
OF which each side secured five. they
won out handily when the result was

chances.
ID. A. C. enjoyed the large majority
Of the field shots from close range but
failed to negotiate Its usual percentage
Of successes.
Il was not a lady-like game, though
Instances OF genuinely dirty play were
70 few as to be almost isolated. Every
man on both teams played the hardest
sort of basketball. There was more
body-checking than Is usually seen ir
two games. At this Joy Miller and
Cox OF the ID. A. c. excelled particular

1l0rce anu effective.
This Cox, by the way. was most

Irresistible force. He glorled in the
carnage from start to finish and ~ the

Capt Kleinath. of Penn, started the
GAme IN street clothes on the sidelines.
All through the first half he coached
vigorously and stirred constantly. Dur
ing the intermission, with the score
is to IL In d. A.. C.'s favor he mapped
out . brand-new campaign for his men.
It didn't work any better than the old
one. With the second period a bit
more than half gone he directed Act
ing Captain Kiefaber to delay play a
BIT and transformed himself into a
lightning change artist. A few mo-
ments later he appeared on the floor
IN full panoply, replacing SAKE.
A yell went up from the anti-D. A. c.
contingent. Doings were predicted In

At this time d. A. G. led, 20 to Is

play.
Keinath got the ball on the hlt-of,
started down the field and muffed
pass. He chased the sphere round a
bit, but didn't enter much into tie,
