TO BEAT c. j. FIVE
Princeton's Passing Game
Too Accurate for BrookIand-
ers to Stop; Score, 81 to 19.
BY II. c. BYRD.

Playing basket ball that was far
better than the teams in the south
Atlantic section usually show, Prince
/ ton University last night defeated
Catholic University by "a TO 10.
: Despite the apparently one-sided-
I ness of the game, as shown by the
score. il was creditab BILE performance
for the Brooklanders, especially in
the first half. which ended with the
score standing 16 to IL, with Prince
ton on the long end
IL did not take spectators more
than two minutes after the Princeton
squad took the floor for preliminary
practice to recognize that c. L. was
against the strongest combination of
ane year. as far as local courts are
concerned. There was something
ABOUT the way in which the lanky
Tiger players dropped the ball into
the basket and the ease with which
| they recovered shots which were
| missed that betokened the experienced
| team
Even in the first half, when G. L.
| hade Its best showing. it was perfect
| ~ plain that Princeton was the more
nnlShed quint and should win rather
easily. In the opening half Princeton
! seemed to play within itself. while
the Brookland men worked hard and
| were aided in their scoring by two
rather spectacular shots by Dunn and
one by Lyons
Princeton First to Score.
Princeton was. first to score. Hynson
| ringing rather difficult shot from
the side of the court. From that
minute until the end Of the contest
Irlnceton kept the lead. though at one
| time IN the first half it was by a mar
gin of only l point. With about five
| minutes left before the intermission,
Dunn shot two long goals and Glas-
cott threw goal from foul. which
brought the score up from to 10 to
> to TO- and the c. L. adherents came
near raising the roof with their yells
/ to come on"
| In the second half Catholic Uni
Verslty had its combination broken UP
within two minutes after the opening
OF play. Mcnamara being taken from
sonal foul. That and the fact that
Opie went in at right guard for
, Princeton caused complete change
in the play. Princeton opened up Of
fensively with such speed that the
Brooklanders could not ward off the
enough ahead to feel comfortable.
Tigers Show Clever Passing.
Princeton displayed some of the
cleverest passing and floor work seen
here in years. The Tigers had little
difficulty during most of the game in
eludine the Brookland defense. and
seemed to have plenty of vitality. de-
spite the game played Friday night
The players always were on the move.
land when, in the closing minutes OF
the contest, one or two of them ap-
ipeared to be slowing up somewhat, it
ibid not take Fred Luehring. the
Tigers coach, long to send in fresh
men.
Princeton's second string men were
Just about as good as the first who
went into the game and were able to
carry the fast pace all through the
contest. c. L. had two high-class
iplayers on the floor. but they could
rot play the whole game themselves.
And in the latter stages tired men
had to be left in the game, because
those men. while tired, were better
than the substitutes on the sideIines.
NettS and HynSon showed eXcep-
ttional accuracy shooting goals for
Princeton. The two forwards seemed
able to cage the ball rather easily.
and in the first half Hynson shot four
goals in short order. Netts had
peculiar style of shooting, being
into the basket with one-hand flip
which was used underhand. His
lshooting for goals from the foul
line seemed entirely too straight.
| pi dCeiCdiy Ho ioop OelHS got On tne
ball, but he got results. as twelve
points were scored by him in that
way.
Opie Plays Fine Floor Came.
Opie played the best floor game for
the Tigers. Going into the contest at
the beginning of the second half. he
displayed extraordinary speed in gen.
eral floor work Incidentally. Opie
played with eyeglasses. which, how
ever. had a framework Of iron for pro-
lection.
Glascott and Dunn. the guards were
about 30 per cent of the c. U. team
They scored fifteen of their teams
nineteen points and were just about
the whole show" from a Brookland
view. Had c. U. been possessed of a
center who could jump with Dickin-
would have been a different story Of
the game.
The contest was cleanly played and
there was a spirit of sportsmanslip
shown by everybody that was COM
mendable. Particularly was this true
of the c. U. students.
