BASKET BALL
Observation-Disclosures.
Penn 33-Parsons 16.

The Penn college basket ball team
opened it's intercollegiate season Fri
day evening by trouncing the scrappy
Parsons college quintette in one OF
the fastest games ever seen on Penn
floor. Fierce playing and lightning.
like handling of the ball featured the
contest. The visitors came with a
string of victories already hanging to
their belt and with Willard, PENIS
star forward and one of the fastest
! players in the state, out of the game,
it looked as though they would easily
annex another SCadp, but even Mil
lard could hardly have improved upon
! the play put forth by Sawyer, the
man who took his place. The stocky
little sub was just as fast and fierce
as the best of them and he had his
shooting eye especially primed for
the occasion. seeming to be able to
drop the ball in from almost any an.
gle. The locals were superior to
Berkstresser's men in team work,
they were better at individual play,
and they were much surer on baskets.
In only one department of the game
did the visitors excel. p. HinkhOuse
dropped one after another free throw
into the basket while none of the 10
Gals could seem to annex points by
successfully negotiating the baskets
| by the for-nothing route.
! The game opened with whirlwind
work by both teams and so fierce was
the defensive work on each side that
it was several minutes before anyone
even got a chance at a shot. Final
| ly, Sawyer connected with field
goal and from then on the Quakers
were never headed, keeping their
lead and never being in any imminent
danger. In the second half Coach
BeTkstresser made a radical shift in
/ his lineup in an enueavor to stop
the locals but the new combination
did not work much better than the old
one. Mcclure, new man, was trot-
| ted out Of the stable and sent in to
stop Sawyer from connecting with so
many baskets, while Gates. who had
been at that guard. went to forward
in Young's place, and the two Hink-
houses traded places at forward and
guard.
Every member of the Penn team
deserves credit for the great victory
won from team that is admitted to
be one of the fastest quintettes
among the smaller colleges in the
state and il gives the locals status
that will demand recognition from
any team. II is difficult to choose
any individual stars in last evenings

playing, rather tim phenomenal in

Sawyer was high man among the To-
Gals as to points, annexing six field
goals while his opponent was unable

Gagged four field goals. Too much
credit can not be given the Penn
guards. Lichtenheld and Brown, for
