PENN WINS THIRD
TITLE BY DUMPING
DARTMOUTH, 31-16
Coach Zahn's Quintet Outscored
From the Field 13 to 6 by
McNicholites
McNICHOl AND HUNTZlNGER
SHINE FOR QUAKER FIVE

Hanover, n. H.. March 17.--Dis-
playing an offensive that was least c1-
pected. the University of Pennsylvania
quintet last night handed Dartmouth
its worst defeat of the year, and in so
doing annexed its third successive In
tercollegiate league championship. The
final figures. read Penn, 81 Dart
mouth, 10.
Coach Eddie McNichol's triumph,
while expected by some supporters Of
Dartmouth, was entirely unexpected by
the record score established last night.
Dartmouth followers were confident
that the Green would defeat the
McNicholites because of their great ex-
hibtion against the Quakers in Phila-
delphia. Penn was conceded as having
a chance merely because of the wonder
full foulgo shooting Of Danny
McNichol. Nothing like the whirl-
wind offensive that was exhibited last
night was ever expected.
Coach George Zahn, himself Phila-
delphian. said last night after the game
that Penn unquestionably was the best
team in college ranks. There is no
doubt about it. that Penn team is the
best there is in this league. j conn
IDENTIFY hoped for victory tonight and
figured that we had an even chance for
victory, but the way that Penn team
played convinces me that we were out
classed. 1t is great team and de-
serves all the spoils of victory
Eddie McNichol and his aide, Joe
Fogarty, both old friends of Zahn, were
more than exuberant after the game.
ut was wonderful game. l ex-
pected victory, but to tell the truth,
never thought Danny and his pals would
| play as they did tonight. They fairly
scintillated during the entire forty
minutes. There wasn't a minute that
we weren't sure of victory. 1t was a
truly remarkable triumph when you
consider that we were rated a one man
team.
Thirteen field goals against two OF
the best guards in the league sort OF
puts an end to that one man talk. We
won, but we had to fight every minute
| Dartmouth played US from start tc
finish and never gave up trying.
1t is my first championship. and l owe
every bit of it to that bunch Of rea
men who wore the Red and Blue to-
night" said Eddie McNichol.
Penn fairly scintillated from tn
floor. A team that was cracked up Il
be one of the weakest teams in tn
league excepting Yale when it come
to field goal shooting proved beyon
doubt that what was said about it wa
unmerited. Thirteen field goals fror
all angles of the floor seems convincin
enough evidence that Penn has a might
/, strong scoring combination.
Dartmouth Gagged one less than hal
Of the Red and Blue total, chief
due to the wonderful guarding of Damn
McNichol and AL. Noegelin. Thes
two sturdy guards proved beyond dout

: league by their brilliant defensive worl
