Improved and Hopes to
Put Up Creditable Game
This Time With Visitors.

Pennsyfvania has even brighter pros
poets for q successful season in basket
ball than ever, now that the work OF the
team in the initial contest has shown all
the defects, which can be easily remedied.
with the rounding into shape of Captain
seeibach, as we'll as wallace, Bullltt,
Hardwicl. McNichol, Evans and other
members Of the frst-string men, It is evi-
dent that Coach Jourdst will be able TO
select q team that will be worthy OF mo-
tice,
The passing and shooting in the Mullen
berg g-Pennsylvania game, while It bordered
on the ragged edge, particularly the lat
ter, will be given the immediate attention
of the coaches, and It is certain Will be
perfected before the Rutgers-Pennsyl-
vania contest on Saturday, December 19
Coach Jourdet has ample time to have his
proteges working In machine-like fashion
before the opening of the intercollegiate
schedule on Saturday, January Q, with
Cornell at weightman Hall.
It is true that there is much to be dono
in bringing about this much desired Bya-
tenn, but there is q determination In the
minds of the players and coaches 60 pro
duce favorable results. Although there ia
no prediction being made as to tho out
come OF the present season, spectators can
rest assured that they will witness bag
