Took Short Time
at took us but a little time to come
10 our conclusions, said Mr.. Morgan
this morning.
''Mr. Salmon suggested that mas
much as we had won the toss In 1915,
no thought that Princeton should DC
the scene of the play off this year.
'The date of the game was left to
me-. Princeton was for having it played
early this week. Bill Grave and his
teammates have had long and trying
season. so I felt that it would not be
fair to them to hold the game so soon
after Saturday nights hard contest.
That is why | asked for the later date.
.'The Princeton gym will hold max
imum of 700 more spectators than
jammed Weightman Hail last Saturday
night. Twenty five hundred fans wit
largest crowd that has ever throngcd
the gymnasium. With our stands at
the ends of the hall and Il slight re-
Arrangement at Princeton on the two
sides, 1900 persons should be able to
see the game. This will be the largest
number ever to see an intercollegiate
basketball game in this district"

with over week to rest and get into
shape, We should show rejuvenated

The early part of this week the

practice workouts, which should just

Oh Night Saturday
I'VE had an off night Saturday night.
Princeton played the better game and
deserved to win. I have no criticism
to make Of our team. They played
hard.
