PENN'S five LED
COLLEGE CUNTS
Quakers Beat N.Y.U. Champs
After Winning Intercol-
legiate Title.

The University of Pennsylvania
was last winter represented by a
basketball team which outclassed
any other amateur or collegiate
combination in the country. In ad-
dition to winning the intercollegi-
ate championship, the Quakers also
decisively defeated the New York
University five, which held the
amateur championship of the
country.
The year was marked by an enor-
nous increase in the popularity OF
basketball in both amateur and
collegiate ranks. This was espe-
cially true of the Intercollegiate
League. where the competition was
the best seen in years. Dartmouth
which had been considered a fall
ure at the court game, showed sur
prising strength in finishing second
to the Penn team in the league
standing.
The amateur championship of the
country was held at Kansas City
and, owing to the enormous ex-
pense which trip so far West
would entail. only one Eastern
team ventured to enter the tour
ney. The Brooklyn College club
was the Eastern representative
but did not show up very well
The title was won by the Kansas
City Athletic Club.
1t was unfortunate that the
tourney should be held so far
West, because the Crescent Athletic
Club five, of Brooklyn, was unable
to make the journey. The Cres-
cents had the best club team in the
East, and at one stretch had a
string OF twenty-eight consecutive
victories over college and amateur
teams

was the outstanding individual
figure in the college basketball
world. He was remarkably accu-
rate in shooting goals from the
foul line. and won several contests
for the Red and Blue through TINS
skill. Tom Cullen, of Dartmouth,
was one of the leading scorers In
collegiate ranks.

POLO CUP BROUGHT
BACK TO AMERICA
Victory of u. S. Team in Lon
don Outstanding Fea-
ture of Season.

The outstanding feature OF the
year in polo was the winning hack
of the international championship
which was lost to England at
Meadow Brook. Long Island. in
1914. As result of the victory at
birmingham Field, London, last
June, the Westchester international
polo cup was returned to this coun-
try and Will probably be a subject
of competition in 1922.
The American team that brought
back the classic trophy consisted
OF the veteran, Devereux Milburn.

tories, the first by the score of IL
to and the second by 10 to 6. The
international trophy has been in
competition since 1856. Matches
were decided by the best two OCT
of three games.
The trophy was bought by sub
scripution by the Westchester
Polo Club, of Newport, r. l.. ana

tee of the Nottingham and asso-
ciated clubs was recognized in 1912
as the polo championship for teams
of four. BY winning the cup last
summer the United States achieved
its fourth triumph, evening up the
score with the British, who had
previously won 1t four times.
Two kings, one former and one
future monarch, and about $4,000
spectators, including most of the
nobility of England, saw Capt. Mil
Turns team regain last June the
laurels lost by the United States in
1914. Milburn, although not in the
best of health at the time, played
the most brilliant game of his ca
reer and was easily the star OF
both contests.
One of the big surprises of the
birmingham polo battles was the
performance of the American
ponies. which had been in training
in England for two months prior
to the playing of the first games.
II was generally supposed that the
horses would prove the weakest
link in the American machine, but
when the contests got under way
II was evident that they were
equal, IL not trifle. superior, to
the English ponies.

of colleges nor is IL confined to any
section OF the country. 1t is now a
full-fiedged national game, and as
such is being played by thousands
OF young men each year.
The game has fiourished tremen-
dously within the last decade. But
the season that has just closed

Institutions are now planning on
how to accommodate their patrons
in future seasons. For il is OBJ
vious that the interest in the game
is growing with tremendous rapid
ity.
Just which cause is mostly re-
sponsible for the great interest in
the game IL is hard to say. Sew
eral reasons or causes can be named
but the one generally conceded to
be the basis is the open game. BY
the open game is usually meant
the forward pass.
The point has been discussed in
the last several seasons, but the
discussion is worth reviewing II
only for the effect it has had upon
the game.
Pass Protested at Outset.
1t will be recalled that when the
forward pass was first introduced
the main-liners, the carpet-baggers,
stand patters or whatever you Will
protested strenuously They de-
To-
ruin the game; that it would turn
a fine game into a basketball frolic (:
that the game would lose all of
its nervousness and popularity
and would quickly die an inglor-
ious death.
Nothing of the sort happened.
The pass. instead of sitting the
growth of the game. acted as a
tonic or stimulant and was the
cause of it's rapid development.
This is what the forward pass
or open game in football did.
/. 1t gave the smaller colleges a
better chance of meeting the larger
universities on an equal footing
and thereby increased the interest
in the game.

Drawn into a contest which re-
quired a player to use his brain as
well as his physique.
Gradually the smaller colleges
drew up to a level with the larger
fellows. If the heavier elevens
stopped the running attack of the
lighter teams. the latter could
always and did resort to the over
head game. Thus. instead of three
or four first class teams. twenty
or more in this section of the
country alone were playing the
game.
Some of the large universities re-
fused to take up the forward pass
as a part of the science of football
and used il only to gamble with.
On the other hand several elevens
went to extremes in using the pass
and forgot all about running at
tack None of these got anywhere.
Many Teams Use Combination.

use of both departments of the
game. And the teams that COM

out above all OF the others,
The past season saw a return to
the running game by many of those
elevens that did nothing else much
but forward pass. 1t also saw the
conservatives incorporate the for

their game. The radicals of both
sides are now convinced that there
