chance he has been waiting for all sea ;
son-to start a game--last night in
weightman Hall against West Virginia.
The contest proved easy for the Red
end Blue, 80 to 0. for the sixteenth
straight victory. In justice to the
Mountaineers, It must be said that they
we're without the services Of Martin,
their high scoring forward, and p. Hin,
another forward, both Of whom were
forced to leave the team in Washington
and return to Morgantown as a result

Goldblatt did the foul goal shooting n
the first half and part Of the second,
registering six out Of seven in the first
twenty minutes and missing his first two
in the first ten minutes Of the second
half. after which Pos Miller went to
guard. and Go'db'att was benched. but
; only for short time. In scrimmage
under the north basket Rosenast re-
ceived nasty bump over the eye that
forced him to seek the bench. Goldblatt
replaced him. :
The former Southern High School
star PLAYED bang up game last night
and had he handled the ball little
better and kept after George Hill, OF
West Virginia, little closer would
have been the outstanding star Of the
game. Hill was so much bigger and
heavier than Goldblatt that the Penn
lad had difficulty keeping on his track,
The result was two field goals for the
visiting forward.
Mil'er's guarding and floor play were
better during the time he was in the
game: but on general all.around eff.
fectiveness, considering Go:dblatt' s abil .
fly 10 convert fouls into points. the two
guards Jared about equal. Miller came
through with double decker In the Sec
cnd ha + and Goklblatt had two.
Had the West Virginians had little
more ability under the baske the score
might have been much closer. They
missed at least a dozen shots directly
under the nets. several of them so easy
that the small crowd roared. The vis-
itors toweted over Penn with the ex.
ception of Grave and played the ball
well. vet they were unable to do any
more scoring simply because they were
meeting a new kind of opposition
Ten players saw action during the
game for the Red and 'Blue--Nfiller,

and Lang all getting into the fracus In
the second half.
Huntzinger again led in the scoring,
with four two pointers. one In the first
half and three in the second. Rosenast
made two; Go'dblatt the same number,
and Grave Miller and Dessen one each,
One of the features Of the second half
was the return to form of Grave in
shooting fouls. The tall captain made
all five of his chances from the Is. foot
line count. 1t was his best average Of
the season to. date.
George Hill was the star Of the
Mountaineers. He registered two Of the
three two pointers and made two out of
nine fouls. Hawkins had a fed goal
and Fuccy one foul out of three chances,
