Penns basketball team arrived home
today with but a half game advantage
over Princeton The Tigers kept them
selves in the running for the championship
of the Intercollegiate Basketball League
by taking a fast and hard fought game
from the Quakers at Princeton last night
by % to 20 count.
1t was one of the most hotly contested
games of the season, and though Prince
ton led throughout, Pennsylvania was al
ways within striking distance. The work
of Captain McNichol alone kept the
Pennsylvania team in the race, for dur
ing the first half no other Red and Blue
player was able to score a goal, and not
till the end of the game was there any
semblance of accurate shooting by the
other Pennsylvania forwards.
The whirlwind passing and lightning
shooting of the Tiger five completely be-
wildered the Pennsylvanlans, and the Wis.,
iting guards seemed entirely unable to
cope with the fast attack of the Princeton
men. Though the Pennsylvania five un-
covered a swift passing game and con-
tiually worked the ball up to within easy
scoring distance, the shooting power was
lacking. Time and again basket would
be missed by hairs breadth, the close
ness of many of the shots keeping the
vast crowd gasping with excitement.

Because he had the stuff.

Because he had the stuff.
And because more than that, he has al
ways given his best to the game through
clean living and earnest effort. When
called upon he was always ready to fur
nish hls share, and good bit more, in or
out of turn
And still more, because he mixed more
brain with his brawn than any pitcher in
game that has had smart, brainy pitch
ers by the score.
The knowledge that an unusual amount
of brains and courage were working in
the box on the day he pitched gave
Mathewson the bulk of his fame and
added measurably to the respect in which
for l6 years he has been held, by home
and hostile fan alike.
Close to Everything
Mathewson, in his best years, came
about as close to "having everything as
a mere mortal could come.
You have heard of his brain and his
courage; of his fadeaway and his control;
of his curve ball and his judgment.
But with this he also had great speed.
81 have pitched a good many games" he
told us recently back in the old days
or the young days-when I relied entirely
upon my fast one. I must confess like
to bust 'em through just to see how fast 1
could make the ball travel"
He had everything-but what is even
more TO the focus he knew how, why and
where to use it.
The Last Stand
Being the sort of an institution he is,
there is more than local interest ia Matty's
battle against Time and Fate at Marlin.
A youngster would have better
chance. But Big Six is close upon Sc
years of age-mere- youth in some pro-
fessions. but beyond the gray prime of
pitching.
Mathewson himself doesn't know
whether he will be able to take his regu-
lar turn this summer. But we happen
to know that he feels keener about pitch
ing now than he ever felt before. AS
much as he has meant to the game, he
the game has meant to him.
