January, y, 1915.
Old Penn's splendid victory over
Princeton in Weightman Hall last Satur-
day night keeps her in the race for the
championship Of the intercollegiate bas-
ket-ball association. Princeton is playing
in greatly improved form, but the Tigers
were unable to check the Red and Blue
quintet. The guarding of both teams was
especially strong. Princeton did not reg
lister single field goal, while Penn was
shut out until the last ten minutes OF
play when Setback and Relsner rolled
up enough points to win comfortably.
This game following on the sensational
victory over Dartmouth on January II.
when Capt. Jourdet was laid up with
grippe and Setback was just recovering
from bloOd-poisOning, has convinced
Coach kiefaber that his men have the
right sort of spirit. They will make a
great effort to down Cornell on Thurs
day night at Ithaca. II the Quakers
win this contest they will consider the
championship more than half won
Swimming is row well under way and
George kistler has picked team which
promises to bring still another champion
ship. Ouerbacker looks like a sure win
ner in the sprint events, while AnSeny
has developed wonderfully in the plunge
for distance. In bi-mOnthly meet last
three feet. Eistler expects him to reach
the record of seventy six feet before the
season is over. Douglass and Jimmie
Shryock. brother of John Shryock, last
years star performer, are making things
hum in the 30 event. Yale looks like
Penn's most formidable tank rival this
year. The Ellis have some wonderful
sprint swimmers and fancy drivers. Penn
had no difficulty in winning from c. c.
N. Y, last week The New Workers took
cnly one first place-the 30 yard swim
and that was principally because Coach
Kistler saved Douglass, his best 20 yard
man for the 100 yard dash. Ouerbacker
showed his expected superiority in the
sprints L. F. Sanville, one OF the best
swimmers for Penn, who was charged
with professionalism by the A. A. u. was
not entered in the meet. The faculty
committee of the College of the City
of New York acquiesced with the de-
cision of the Pennsylvania faculty COM
u;ittee in exonerating him of the charge
Of professionalism. The decision of the
PENNSYLVANIA faculty committee was
made an unanimous decision given upon
the evidence produced by the A. A. L.
and by which the A. A. L. had declared
him a professional However. out of
courtesy to the New York Swimming
team. Graduate Manager r. L. Perot de-
cided not to swim Sanville in order that
the several members of the c. c. n. Y.
team who are members of the A. A. u.
might not be caused embarrassment. The
question of Sanville's amateur standing
will be considered at special meeting
of the intercollegiate Swimming As
sociation. which is to be held during the
coming week. This meeting was called
by President Wight, OF Princeton, after
consultation with several Of the colleges
interested
