'Princcton is not yet out of the in
tercollegiate basketball championship
race" said Jim llynSon. the Tiger coach.
yesterday afternoon after George Tahn' S
Dartmouth quintet had snatchcd away
one of the greatest games ever played
on an intercollegiate court by the score
OF u to 90.
With but fifteen seconds to go. and
the Tigers one point ahead. Harry
Chamberlain. Dartmouth center. showed
up the winning goal in q scrimmage
under the basket. and to some of those
persons sitting close by there will al
ways be a lingering opinion that several
Princeton players assisted Chamberlain
in scoring the basket that eliminated
the Tigers as a 1927 intercollegiate
championship contender.
The contest marked the first league
game which Princeton has played
since Lou. Sugarman resigned as coach.
Jim Hynson last years captain, is now
acting in that capacity and was not in
tho least reluctant to discuss the basket
ball situation.
Dartmouth and Princeton Best
"The two teams on the floor this
afternoon are a better combination than
Penn" said he. II have watched the
Quakcrs play several games this year
and the team is not as good as previous
| seasons
Most Of their games have been wor
: through the foul shooting of Eddie NC
! Nichol. and once they play teams tha'
know as much basketball and VINO
eliminate the fouls, they are certain u
| lose"
All Of which may be true to Hynson
! but Princeton will hardly be one OF tht
team 10 eliminate the fouling, judglilt
| by their work against the Dig Nrecl
quintet. All the Tiger aggregation arr
all big and naturally rought, ana iouiln'
is second nature to them.
