PENN FIVE SHOWS
/ SPEEDY OFFENSE
Quaker Basketball Players
Improve Greatly at
: Goal Shooting
MUHLENBERG TRIMMED

Penn played up TO expectations in the
cage battle against the Muhlenberg
quintet In weightman Hall Saturday
night. when the up-Staters were showed
under by 37-12. In fact, the Red and
Blue even surpassed the hopes of its
tutor and supporters.
The bne main idea at the beginning of
the game was to beat the score hung up
by the pupils of Jourdct last year
against the Allentown five, and Captain
Lou Martins teammates accomplished
the trick before the second half was
very old. The figures for the 1916 bat
tie were 1915.
For ono full week Coach Jourdot
drilled his pupils in shooting and he was
not disappointed. Mike Sweeney and
Andy Stannard. the two speedy for
wards. nctted from all angles for a total
OF seven goals between them, the latter
leading with four. Lardie Davis, the
tall blond center, Gagged Il trio, and
Dutch Peck followed on his heels with
two.
Lou Martin Blanked
Lou Martin, the Penn captain, was
shut out of the scoring for the first time
since Penn and Princeton battled in
Weightman Hall last season. The Qua
ker general, who usually cages ut least
one sensational shot. ran into Il lot of
hard luck. and saw tho ball after heav-
II for the basket bounce around the rim
and fall OH the outside OH several oCCa-
eious
Martin used the game for practice
more or less to brush up on his distance
shots. Several times he threw from the
center of the floor when he could have
moved to a spot nearer the basket. Lou
figured that he would not be able to get
so close in the future against stronger
teams, and believed it best to get his
eye set for distance tcsscs.
Mike Sweeney was in excellent form at
the fifteen-foot mark. The former At
lantic city High star was given eighteen
chances to add point to Pcnns total
via the foul route. and hc succeeded on
thirteen occasions. lie uetted seven out
OF ten ON the first half and six out of
eight in the final period. He missed his
initial chance in the, second half and
then shot six straight failing on his final
try.
With five minutes raN1aininr 10 he
played, oach Joirdct ordered an entire
new team into the lineup, but the sec
ond- 81 ringers did not add to the Red and
Blue total. Ramonat tried two fouls,
hut missed them both.
Ivory's Last Game
Chester Ivory, first substitute guard,
played his last game for tho QuakerS,
The former West Philadelphia High
School star has enlisted in tho ordnance
department and expects to leave for ac-
tive service within few days.
The entire Penn team showed great
Improvement In passing as well as shoot
Ing The fact that six of the twelve
field goals were made on assists de-
scribes the teamwork that Lon Jourdet
has developed.
II was the last home game At Penn
before the Christmas holidays. Next
Saturday night the Quakers will line up
against the Middies at Annapolis. and
will make the restart after the vacation

League season will begin,

Wages and Campaign Cries.

The steel trust may not be aware of
the fact, but its action in raising the
wages of its 100000 employees has Civ
en- the lie to the late unlamented Re.
publican campaign.
That campaign, stated in its simplest
form, was an effort to scare the people
into voting for Hughes. From stump
and platform, from billboard and street
car, from advertising page and edi.
tOrial column, the Republican national
committee shrieked It's claim that the
reelection of Wilson would bring dis
aster and that only the triumph OF
Hughes and the restoration of ancient
tariff schedules could save the coun-
try from a terrible panic.
Part, a singularly large part, Of the
voters were misled by this clamor, but
enough remained sane to return Mr..
Wilson to the White House-and
promptly the steel trust, greatest of the
Hughes-supporting interests, shows
how much 1t fears panic by adding 81.
OO0.OO0 to It's yearly pay roll. AS II
this were. not enough, the cotton mill
trust of New England grants a similar
increase to its $4,000 operatives.
1t ought to be cold. cold day before
Republican calamity bowling deceives
anyone again.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-01-25
VOTERS WERE WISE
MAJORITY SAW FALLAcY OF TAR.
IFF ARGUMENTS"
Republican Attempt to Stampede
Workers BY False Statements Of
the Effect Of the Underwood
Law Met Deserved Failure.

The attempt Of the Republican lead
ers TO make the tariff a prominent aud
effective campaign issue came to moth
ing. There Is no evidence I'm the re-
suit Of the election that their argu-
ments and assertions bad weight
against the absolute proof that what
they were saying about the effect of
the Underwood tariff law during the
ten months Immediately preceding the
war was untrue, and the sound judg-
ment Of thinking men that their pre-
dictions Of devastating flood" of Inn
ported European goods Immediately
after the war were absurd.
Those who read the assertion that
in the first ten months Of the Under
wood law an enormous increase" Of
imported manufactured goods closed
factories here and deprived workmen
OF employment could ascertain from
the official reports that imports of such
goods were actually less in those ten
months than in the corresponding
months Of the preceding year, under
'hC hVpubhtuu luTll INV. Illus u
part Of the argument was wrecked.
MIR. Hughes predicted that at the end
of the war the millions of soldiers"
would leap from the trenches to the
factories, there to produce, with vast
ly increased efficiency" not only all
the goods needed at home, but also
a great surplus which would be
dumped" in our market, unless It
should be barred out by a new high
protective tariff. But intelligent and
thoughtful voters, knowing what the
effect Of the war has been, found this
forecast an absurd one. And they were
confined in their opinion by much cur
rent testimony. There has been plenty
of evidence that the "stores" of goods
do not exist, that stocks are exhausted,
and that after the war the belligerent
nations must import great quantities
of raw material-much of 1t from this
country-befOre they can make goods
enough to satisfy the needs Of their
own people. And so the second part
of the tariff argument was demolished.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-01-25
INTERPRETATION Rebuked.

Those who expected no flood Of I'M
ports after the war could see that
there would be safeguards, If one
should appear, in the powers Of the
new tariff commission and the federal
trade commission, and in the provisions
of the new law to prevent dumping"
The tariff movement on the Republican
side in the campaign was pitiable
failure. 1t was characterized by gross
Misrepresentation of recorded facts
and by predictions which well-in-
formed men could not accept.
