GREEN FIVE VAS EASY
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

THE Penn basketeers are well on their
way to q new record in intercolle
giate circles. The Quakers have breezed
through twelve games of their nineteen =
game schedule and not one tilt has been
fought without success. A glance over
the remainder of the slate reveals no
team that should be able to stop the Red
and Blue. 1t looks like clean sweep
for Lon Jourdet's athletes.
Dartmouth was the twelfth consecu
tive victim of the perfect teamwork of
the. Penn tossers at Hanover Saturday
night. The Red and Blue outclassed
George Iahn's five. III IA. incidentally.
Cornell nosed out Yale, 1913, and
climbed to tie with the Blue for second
place, so that the Penn lead has in :
creased materially.
Injuries and overconfidence are the
only things that may prevent the
Quakers from going through the season
without a reverse. Injuries can't be
prevented very easily. but any young
man who is taken with a case of "swell-
headedness' under Jourdet would get an
exaggerated idea of himself even if he
played with a tail END club. Lon always
is looking for show of overconfidence.
and when he spies it he falls on the in :
dividual with battery of verbal blows
that usually get results.
Thirteen Goals
Penn had it on Dartmouth like hay
stack has it on a needle. The Quakers
passed all around the Green team and
found the basket easily. Thirteen goals
went through the net and fifteen fouls.
Mike Sweeney was the individual high
scorer, as usual. The Atlantic City
youth ripped three field goals through the
net and Gagged fifteen fouls for total of
twenty one points.
Captain Peck was the best Penn
scorer from scrimmage. He registered
four goals. Rosenast got three. Graves
two and Hunzinger one. McNichol was
shut out.
Penn has met and defeated every
team in the Intercollegiate League with
the exception of Cornell. The Ithacans
in view of the fact that the best they
could do against Yale was to win by
scant two points, it is thought that the
Quakers will not have any great amount
of trouble in getting the decision. Penn
beat the Blue easily.
Fresh Still Winning
The Red and Blue freshmen. who are
under the tutorship of Eddie McNichol,
CoullHueu lnelr SUCCESSFUL SCreak, Dy
handing Tome % -to-19 defeat. 1t
was the first beating OF the year for the
Port Deposit five. This game was
played as n preliminary to the Penn
Junior Swarthmore Junior game in
Weightman Hall Saturday. The Gar
net Second Varsity beat the Quakers
Reserves by 70 to -.
The Red and Blue lost three other
meets Saturday. The boxers were
beaten by State College. 4 bouts to 9.
and the wrestlers and gymnasts dropped
verdicts to Navy athletes.
The defeat by the State boxers was
somewhat of a disappointment. Tommy
O'Malley and Captain Heine Bourne
We're the only Quakers to win. O'NIal-
ley knocked out Cooper in the light
weight class in the first round. Bourne
went three rounds to get decision over
Weiss. .>...
George Kistler's swimmers, however.
hung it on Johns Hopkins in Baltimore,
and Eddie Shields crawled to two new
records. Eddie trimmed the South At
lantic mark in the furlong to two min
utes and twenty four seconds fiat and
also set new figures in the century,
covering the distance in one minute !
and fourth fifth second.
