II1ALTER HUNTz1NGER. dubbed
w the Dick Merriwcll Of intercol-
legiate basketball, proved the right to
the title again Saturday night In
Weightman Hall when he tossed the
field Goal that gave Penn @-to-25
verdict. over Cornell in game as repete
with thrills as any that has ever been
seen on the historic court, with the ex-
ception Of the famous four extra period
contest with Princeton three years ago.
Three minutes Of the extra five. min
ute period had elapsed when Huntz
took a stab from beyond the fifteen
foot mark that went clearly through
the net. The two points were the dc.
Gliding factor, although Benny Dessen,
the former Southern High School lad.
to make victory certain added another
double decker from virtually the same
spot on which Huntzinger stood IN
making his.
1t will be remembered that Huntzin-
ger scored the goal that made victory
certain In the four extra period game
time he has scored other goals In the
dying minutes Of a contest that made
victory secure. His field goal In the
game against Princeton on February
4 was the necessary one for victory.
Twenty. second Win
The win over Cornell kept Penn in
the lead for the Intercollegiate League
contest, the Tigers keeping up their
streak by defeating Columbia, 30 to -,

and his teammates was the twenty
second out Of twenty three played this
season and the sixth straight since Cor.
nell humblcd the Red and Blue up at
Ithaca.
The victory. was sweet revenge Tor
the only reverse suffered by Penn this
year and was made possible through the
excellent work from the foul line OF
Captain Bill Grave. the Springheid,
Mass, youth. In the first half the
lanky pivot man scored nine out OF
twelve chances, and In doing, so shot
seven in a row his best mark OF the
wear. In the second half Grave was
not up to his first half standard, get
ting but six out Of twelve. The sixth
one proved the point that sent the game
into the extra period.
With the score standing at IS to "a

brilliant overhead shot by Crabtree, the
new Cornell guard, one OF the Cornel.
lians was detected using the two hand

the line to try his skill the whistle
blew. ending the game. With the usual
nonchalance that characterizes MS
play, Grave stepped to the line ana sent
the leather through the nets for the
tying point. ,,
out the necessity Of an extra period
had Il not been for carelessness IN the
last eight minutes Of play. With that
much time left the score stood % to 10,
! in favor of Penn. Field goals BY NIL,
lrr. Grave and Dessen with a foul goal
sandyiched in were scored by the Penn
team while Cornell was shut out.
Even In Field Goals
Each team scored seven goals from
the field but Graves fifteen fouls to
TMther's eleven earned the verdict.

but not seriously, failed to score. Ripe,

for Cornell and Barkelcw one.
This week the Dartmouth game looms
I'M with as much importance as any
piayed this season. A victory over thc
Green will place Penn in the proper po-
siton for the final game with the Tigers
the following Saturday night. In their
last meeting ut Hanover Penn won In

The winning of the two basketball
games WAS only q part Of the field day

miles to Impress upon the West the fact
that an Eastern team can show record
breaking performances: The fresh shman
wrestling team defeated Blair Academy.

The boxers and fencers suffered re-
verses.

which pushed State to new record In
the Miilrose games, also gave the Red
and Blue n keen struggle. Larry
Browns great running in the final lap
made up five yards lost and he finished
four yards in front of Higgins, the bril-.
liant distance runner of Ames, other
wise known rs Iowa State.

West Point will probably cost Coach
Walter Cariss, of the baseball team, q

Of the stars of the freshman team, broke

forced to leave the ring. Captain Johnny
Lukas and Gordon Burkett were the
only Penn winners. the latter stopping
