Race Very Close

If Pennsylvania beats Cornell, Prince

tie the Quakers for the leadership, but if
the Penn boys are beaten at Ithaca and
Princeton wins over Al Sharpe's team
the championship will go to Tigertown
The team that loses another game of this
trio says good-by to championship honors,
II Is a case of lose and go out. Pennsyl-
vania has made a game fight With the
smallest team in the lcague-yet the best
team Penn has had in seven ycars-they
have displayed wonderful Judgment in
playing against their larger opponents.
They have proven that there is some
thing to basketball besides weight and
furthermore, that basketball can be
played cleanly. In passing, it might he
said that this Is the best season, flnan-
cially, that any Pennsylvania basketball
team has ever had.

Princeton's Chance

Princeton is Il half game behind Penn
svIvania, and Cornell is one and halt
games back of the Red and Blue. Some
times these margins tell something but in
this case they do not, Princeton has two
games to play. and by winning the next
game-which is at princeton-thcy can
tie Penn for the lead. Cornell has four
games to play and every one of the rour
will be played in Ithaca. Cornell lost IT'S
first two games Of the season to Prince
ton and Pennsylvania, by one point TO
Princeton and two points to PENNSYLVANIA.
Since that time Cornell has not lost
game, and If the Ithacans continue
throughout the remaining two weeks at
the same clip they will win the champion
ship. They have two games at home TINS
week with Dartmouth and Columbia ana
they should put them on the right side of
the ledger even though Ashmead the
star guard. has been placed on probation
Then will come the real battles the games
which will decide the championship. One
week from tonight Pennsylvania Will play
the Ithacans, and three nights later
Princeton will close the intercollegiate
season at Ithaca. Everything depends on
these two games-unless the unexpected
should happen before then

Mr.. Baker left Washington tonight
for New York to attend to some personal

that he may begin tho conf. rerccs soon

Considerable doubt exists IN army CIR

1000 of the 10000 men required have

AT tho present timo the War Depart
