Hope to Surprise

TNHAT never-failing Crucial point
l. which somehow or other manages to
crop up several times a season in vir.
tualy every sport will make it's debut
in the Penn basketball circles this eve
ming at Weightman Hall.
The appearance of this overworked
point tonight is indeed timely and
justified. The Penn team has reached
the turning point in its travels and
the game with the fast-going Yale five
will determine whether the local quin-
tet is to take the ALSO Ran Avenue" or
enter the Lane to Pennantville."
The reason for this is apparent. Penn
has played two Intercollegiate League
contest winning and losing one. The
Yale five likewise has engaged in two
games and their record shows two wins,
one over Penn last Saturday evening at
New Haven. Penn victory tonight
will tie up the league leadership.

Penn Hopes to Check
YaIe's Unbeaten Fiue

The Eli cage combination is one of the
best in years. Van Slyck, at forward,
and Captain Stradella, at guard, are
the stars Van /Slyck was the leading
scorer in the cage league last year.
Against Penn two week ago, Van Slyck
scored six field goals, although he was
closely guarded by Dutch Peck. the Penn
star. who is considered the best guard
in intercollegiate ranks.
Stradella. a husky youth, returned to
New Haven one day before the Penn
Yale match. Without any practice he
entered the Blue lineup and sigualized
his appearance by scoring two field
goals. He had been at Camp Zachary
Taylor. Ky.
Penn is primed for tonight's contest.

TRAINING CAMP
BEATEN NBY SAINTS
Frank POth's Club Is Nosed

SECOND TEAM A WINNER

Frank Poth. the manager of the
League Island Training Camp basket
ball team. made but single mistake
in the game his team played against the
St COLUMBIA. champions of the Ameri-
can League, last night at League Island.
He hooked his club up wrong at the
start. a mistake for which he was sorry
shortly afterward. as he found out that
it was the main factor in his clubs
defeat He had at sJrwards Crandall
and Simmer. The former was n big
fellow and was opposed by Jimmy
Brown and was later displaced by
youngster. named Davis.
The final score was 81 to &c, but
there is every possibility that had Davis
been in the game at the start there
would have been different tale. Davis
and Simmer, working together, form a
fast pair of men on the attack The
former landed three baskets and the
latter four, and. as said before, it was
really shame that this Davis person
was not in action at the start
Fail to Follow Up
In playing the Saints, Poth selected
one of the best clubs possible TO secure,
and one may gain some knowledge of the
| caliber of ball played by League Island
when II is taken into consideration that
with only three minutes to play the fig
ures were tie away at 26.
! But the sailors were woefully weak
! in one respect. That was at following
up shots and they also failed to display
any especial aptitude in cutting for the
basket at the proper time. But when
Il came to shooting they were on a par
With their league opponents and, leaving
Jimmy Brown out of the question, were
superior.
Saints Take Lead
Davis replaced Crandall at the start
of the final frame and Immediately a
difference was noted in the playing Of
the League Island boys. The going was
nip and tuck. first one side getting a
basket and then the other. With the
Saints four to the good Simmer and
Davis sent the big crowd wild with a
pair Of two-pointers that tied the fig
ures at 26,
At this time the home aggregation
was going the best and the Saints were
really giving way under the fast pace
set by the sailors. but Brown and Gal
laher came through with lucky shots
that clinched the game and spelled dis
may for Poth. after he had visions OF
his proteges beating the best in the
city.

KEEP UP THRIFT IN SCHOOLS
Pupils to Be Taught Principles OF
Saving With Experience in Buying,
Selling and Account Keeping.

With the resumption of school this
month many of the educational fea-
lures of the Thrift and War Savings
Stamps campaigns will be centered in
the classrooms. The continuation of
the Little Lessons in Thrift which
were sent direct to all the school
teachers in the five states of the Sew
enth District during the first six
months of the year will be provided
for. These lessons are designed for all
grades, but pay particular attention to
the Younger classes, where it is de-
sired to instill early the principles OF
thrift and saving.
In all eighth grade schools ana IN
high schools it is planned to interest
the pupils in personal accounts, a sys-
tematic and regularly conducted or
ganization being formed in each school
for that purpose. The system Will
include personal experiences in buy
ing, selling and account keeping.
Students in all colleges and univer-
sites will be enlisted in campaign
to popularize personal accounts ana
systematic savings. Domestic science
teachers in public schools, normal
schools and colleges, and agents OF e1"
tension departments will be utilized to
make this individual budgetlng OF
students incomes effective.
