tumble He shot Il to Lou Martin. and the z
little guard Immediately shot beautiful
goal from the centre OF the floor and at
a sharp angle. After Princeton had made
a foul goal Marin scored again on passye
from Williamson.
The Tigers scored twice more on foul
goals then Martin scored his third field
goal on splendid pass from Captain e
McNichol. ~
Feree, Princeton forward. scored field II
goal on an assist from Haas. The pair
swapped around and the latter counted
from the field on the formers assist.
At the end Of the first half Penn led, i
TO Z, Martin having scored three field
goals, Williamson one and McNichol one
foul goal. Princeton, incidentally, only
had one foul called on her during thetr'
first period, and that was double, which
NIcNichol made good. but on which Haas
failed
Fast Play ~
Play in the second half, particularly the
middle part, was much more spirited than
the first. Princeton attempted to run ~
down the Penn men by brute force: butsH,
finally Deering began to call few fouls,
and they were halted in this phase Of
play. Penn scored three foul goals be- "a
fore the second half had been under way
five minutes. About this time Paulson
went into the game for Princeton. He
played forward in place of Haas, who
took Rahills place at guard. Paulson
annexed one field goal and five fouls out q
of six. Late in the fray Click, the Tiger,
football star, replaced Feree at forward,
and Cuneo went in at guard for Davies.
Penn scored only one field goal in the
second period. That was a long shot by
Martin, which brought his total up to u
, four out of the five Penn two-pointers .ii
made.
Martins play was the big feature OF
the game. He is very small, but he
handled the ball splendidy, seldom
fumbled and but for the fault of holding-o,
the ball too long in his territory, played -

Foul Tactics

Among the few foul tactics which we
were able TO enumerate on Princeton
were: Running with the ball, holding,
pulling, hugging, butting tripping,
straight-arming, kneeing. elbowing and
blocking These may be assets in some
sports, but they are not In basketball, II
the referee is ION the job" But neither
the referee nor the umpire appeared to
care how many fouls Princeton COM
mitted and, as time went on and the big
Tiger team saw that it could get away
with this rough stuff" they Increased its
intensity Possibly Penn would have tried
something OF the kind, too, by way OF re-
taliation, If the players had been able, but
they were not The Quakers were out
weighed at least dozen pounds to the
man, hence Princeton had little trouble in
roughing the Penn men badly, and the
worst of II was that they got away with II.
on the whole the officiating was quite as
bad as the weather last night, and that Is
about as far as any one could go in the
matter of comparisons.
AS usual, there was n brilliant crowd
present at Weightman Hall. Extra seats
| were installed, so that there were possibly
more than 1900 persons around the court.
| A large percentage of the spectators were
! Of the weaker but deadlier sex. Throughout
the game the shrill squeals of femntnity
| could be heard above the hoarse roar OF
| Penn Varsity yell. IL was not necessary
| for Penn or Princeton TO score to bring
| forth applause. Everybody seemed TO ap-
| plaud all the time. whether II was needed
| or not.
Penn began the game by scoring about
| 10 seconds after play had started. Nc
| Tlgue, the Tiger centre, outjumped JEFF
| ford on the opening play, just as he did
throughout the entire game; but Eddie
McNichol managed to get the ball after a

Princeton Eager

Peradventure you have noticed that
when a man is so eager to start little
game of chance, such as poker or
seance with the bones. he is the loser nine
times out of ten. So 1t was with Prince
ton Tho Tigers almost forced, as 1t were,
the team into the game to decide the bas-
ketball championship. After the Red and
Blue faculty committee had decided that
Penn should play regardless OF what
Jourdet thought of the matter, Lon
promptly got his men together and began
putting through n strenuous series or
drills How we'll he performed his task
was shown by the action last night. In
every department of play Penn completely
outclassed Princeton The Tigers scored
three field goals against five for Penn.
Eddie McNichol the Red and Blue leader,
tossed six fouls through the rim out of
exactly six chances, an average that Ty
Cobb has not yet been able TO reach. Haas
and Paulson together annexed eight one
pointers out of IL attempts. The latter
missed only one of his six chances.
While the figures given above demon
strate clearly that Penn was superior to
the rival from across the Delaware, they
do not show that Penn was far and away
ahead of Princeton as they lined up at
1928 o'clock Wednesday evening. If the
officials, Messrs Deering referee, of Man
haitian, and Osterdorff umpire, of Spring
field, had not worn Palm Beach uniforms
Penn might have won by n deserving
| score. As it was, this pair of officials
| failed utterly to see the numerous glaring
| illegal plays committed by Princeton. In
| fact. we almost are tempted in the first
place to say that Penn defeated the
| Princeton varsity foul team, so defiant
were the wearers Of the Orange and Black
| of the intercollegiate code.

AS ALI, Of us erudite know full we'll
Athere are three ways of being great
Well the University Of Pennsylvania bas-
ketball team five had II thrust, brutally
and with malice aforethought, thrust upon
them. Hence tho Red and Blue sphere
tossers are now the undisputed and much-
hcralded champions OF the intercollegiate
League by virtue Of their 1914 victory
over Princeton last evening at Welghtman
Hall.
Coach Lon Jourdet, of Penn, TO whom.
by the way belongs the major portion OF
the honor for winning this title, did not
want to indulge in a play-on with the
Tigers because his team had broken train
ing at the end of the league season, while
the Tigers had continued to keep on edge,
hoping that they would be able to invetgle
Penn into playing a post series game
When the season closed Penn and Prince
ton had each won eight games and lost
two. They had lost one game to each
other and the second to YALE which made
1t fairly close, you'll admit.
But Princeton was not satisfied. The
Tigers have three of their regulars de-
parting after this year by graduation
This made them realize that there was Q
basketball title to be had now or possibly
not for many years to come. The result
of this reasoning was that they decided
20 entlce Penn into n game and defeat
them ingloriously and carry the entire
crown back to the Presidents former
haunts in Jersey.
