HOPES FOR WINNING FIVE
New York University Basket
ball SQUAD Getting in Trim.

The chances of turning out winning
basketball team at New York University
this year are much brighter than they
were at the first practices, held two weeks
ago.
Harold II. Parkinson. star football and
basketball player of Wesleyan. has been
secured as coach. Parkinson was All New
England basketball centre for four years.
Although this is his first attempt At
coaching his wide knowledge Of the game
offsets his inexperience along that line.
The new coach faces a problem this
year which never came up before. It is
similar 10 the problem that faced Jake
High this season, when he took charge OF
the football team-lack Of veteran ma
terial.

Princeton Team Makes Great
Strides and Shows Power.
YALE ELEVEN A PUZZLE
One More Step Taken in Much
Needed Reform of Number
ing the Playe
By Herbert

Harvard defeated Princeton on Satur-
day, not because Of any greater merit IN
all that goes to make up a football team
but rather because one man was clever
enough, dependable enough. to take ad-
vantage OF one Of those glowing chances
which were about evenly distributed be-
tween both elevens. One exception must
be made The tackling of the Tigers was
not so sure and deadly as that OF their
opponents. but. as it happened, this fun
damental weakness. which in measure
made is possible for Brickley and Mahan
10 make their spectacular runs did not
have direct bearing on the outcome. 1t
Is not easy TO analyze the game in respect
10 future struggles with Yale as the op-
ponent. first against one and then against
the other. but this seems sure: Either Yale
is in FOR an awful licking" as one man
put 1t coming in from Princeton on Sat
urday. or else Yale has not so hard task
on her hands, especially against Harvard,
as was indicated one week ago, following
the defeat by Colgate.

Princetons running attack was fully 81
per cent stronger. in my opinion, against
Harvard than it was against Dartmouth
two weeks ago. and the comparison is a
good one, as the conditions of soggy field
and slippery ball were much the same
IT had a wider range and was carried
along with far more snap and power
The eleven, too. showed greater poise and
far more finish. as if II had settled to a
realization of its full capabilities. Then.
again, the defence was more compact and
more stable. 1t could not be otherwise,
else Iiarvard's running attack. with
Hardwick and Brickley leading the
charge. could not have been checked so
easily. II is possible that l misjudge1

fight the Tigers put up reflects TO their
credit. 1t is pity the battle could not
have been waged on a dry field. for a

real strength OF the Tigers lies in their
open game. II is also true that the bad
footing operated against the work OF

year in the lack of a really high class
punter. Sam FELTON, is missed sad

kicks with his bad ones i'm a way to en-
phasize a feeling of uncertainty among

points which quickly could be remedied.
