Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsyl-
vania and Yale Making Ready
for Strenuous Campaign.

With football uniforms tucked away
until next September, the colleges are
turning to winter sports, particularly
basketball While considerable in
torest has annually been shown in the
floor game as played by the colleges,
the greatest interest attaches itself to
the six members of the Eastern Inter
collegiate Basketball League-Cornell,
Columbia, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth
and the University Of Pennsylvania.
OF the sextet all but Yale will have
played some preliminary contests be-
fore Christmas to get in shape for the
really important meetings, those with

an exceptionally long schedule last

tilt for the crown by meeting the Itaha-
cans on the New Haven court the follow

basketball champions, the men of Old
Nassau, who Will be taken on in Weight
man Hall, Pa, the stronghold of Penn.
Looking over the prospects of the
cuintets as they finished in the league
last season makes Princeton the first to
come under the glare of the spotlight.
Hill Zahn, the Tiger coach, said. con-
cerning The league situation, Princeton
has a hard fight on her hands If she
hopes to retain the basketball league
championship. Every team In the league
has been greatly strengthened and each
club will try harder to defeat Princeton
than any other quintet"
Princeton Formidable.
Zahn. who last year made his debut
into Princeton athletic circles, has all
five members of last years champion
ship five. The successful team which is
again available was made up of Capt
Jack Jefferies at left forward, klaesss
right forward; Gaines, center; Foster
left guard Art Loeb. right guard and
runnerup in the individual point scoring
race of the league with 131 points for
ten games, and Berg. also guard. In
addition to these Davis. a center; Lemon
and Hanson, members of last years
crack freshman Ave. have also put In an
appearance. Practically all OF the other
members of the star yearling outfit will
not be able to play this season. Despite
these excellent prospects, Princeton men
say. Veterans don't mean anything
look at our football team"
Eddie McNicol. down at Penn, Is not
10 fortunate in having such an array of
veteran material. His hardest job will
be to replace Bill Grave. last seasons
center, who led in the individual scoring
with 1873 points for the ten games.
Brew. sub, may be called upon to NIL
the shoes Of the graduated star, but he
lacks experience. However. his feet
inch will without doubt stand him in
good stead Goldblatt, George Sullivan
and Dessen stand out as the leading
candidates for the forward berths while
POS Miller. the football captain. and
Al Voegeiin can be pretty sure OF the
guard assignments.
Then comes Dartmouth. which Is being
coached by the Princeton tutors brother,
George Zahn. who is beginning his
fourth year at the Hanover Institution.
Like his frere, George has a great deal
of veteran material and even greater
number OF available freshmen who went
through last years schedule undefeated
For the forward positions Capt Timmy
Cullen, third high scorer In the league
last season; Don Moore. a letter man.
and Kal Friedman, one OF the former
yearlings look the best while the center
post will go to either Mike Watkins of
last years squad or Eddie Edwards.
another OF the 1925 men. Guard mate
rial is especially abundant and includes
Frank Heep. letter man for two seasons ::
Joe Millar. last years captain AL Gold
stein. and Sailor and Goas, the last two
of the 1925 outfit.
Cornell has three members of last
years varsity In Capt. James III. Luther.

throws G.. III. Capron and II. III. Crab
tree. both guards. In addition there are
c. +. Wedell. who played center on the
varsity until he was injured; Bernie
Meyers. forward; Stone. center, and

Columbia strong.
Columbia lost but one man, by gradu-
alton. Lee Watson. the center. but has

fcred but one defeat. These are Sam
