PENN AFTER nth
STRAIGHT VICTORY
Undefeated Quaker Team Bat.
Ties Columbia in New York
Tonight
INTERCOLLEGIATE LEAGUE

Penn's undefeated basketball team
goes after it's eleventh strniglt victory
in New York against the Columbia five
tonight
Not only the seasons record is at
stake, but the lead in the Intercolle-
giate League also depends on the bat
tie against the Morningside /, Heights
quintet. The Quakers must win to hold
down first place.
Two of the ten previous Red and
Blue wins have been scored in league
engagements. Columbia has won one
game and lost one. Yale il second,
with three victories and one defeat. If
Penn is beaten. Columbia moves up to
tie with the Red and Blue for second
position, and Yale goes into first place.
On form. Penn should be able to
turn the trick against the New York
crs, but the Morningside Heights play =
crs are hard TO beat on their own floor.
Lon Jourdet will keep the same line
up. Sweeney and Rosenast will be
the forwards, Graves the center and
Captain Peck and McNichol the guards.
Fate, however is working against the
best interests of Coach Jourdet's pass
ers, and the Quakers' strongest depart
ment of the game may be weakened

Although Columbia, unlike their Quake
opponents, has experienced several re
verses this season, one at the hands o
the Yale five, the recent performance
of the New York players is signifcap
to threaten Penn's holdings on the to
position in the league standing. If Co

be tied up for second.

there is every possibility that the Blue
Ribbons will continue to play and also

OF Left
Mrs. Smith figures she has made much
of her progress by means of the wooden
club she swings. She won a driving
contest at Shawnee to prove it.
She plays the ball off her left foot,
with the right foot slightly advanced and
laps over two fingers of her right hand
an the grip.
Mrs. Smith developed her game un-
der the tuition mostly of Jim Hackney,
pro at North Hills, who is "mind-
over matter" fanatic and has had fine
results from his pupils.
The result of all this is that Mrs.
Smith believes in "B natural to an
