Penn has one more game to play and
that with the Tigers here Saturday

The Dashing Hero
While Walter Huntzinger and Bill
Grave divided the lions share of the
honors in point scoring, the spectacular
floor work and guard play of Jesse
James, unknown three weeks ago,
stood out as one of the reasons why
Penn is so successful in basketball.
James labored nearly the entire season
on the junior varsity quintet until the
injury to ROsenast, when he was pro-
noted to the varsity squad. With George
Sullivan and Label Goldblatt on the
bench. James was figured as one Of the
last of the substitutes. Saturday night
Coaches McNichol and Fogarty tried
Label Goldblatt and Ben Dessen at the
forward posts. The latter had not en- :
he suffered early in the week.
In the second half James went in at
guard and Pos Miller moved up to
| forward. The result was complete
reversed of form by the Red and Blue.
James played the ball like hawk and
clung to his man like leech. This
gave Huntzinger and Grave their much
needed opportunity to get up the floor
and try for goals, and James played a
conspicuous part with his speedy as
siSts.
! The Second. Half Rally
: In the early minutes of the second
half Grave scored two foul goals and
cullen one. Huntzinger Gagged dou d.
Bile decker. and Moore sent one crash :.
ing through the nets. After that Penn
ran up points with speed and preci-
sion. scoring field goals by Huntzinger
and Vogelin and a foul goal by Grave,
while Moore was making his second
sensational goal at the half and aided
Penn to creep up.
penn was outscored from the field
s to Z, but the work Of Grave from the
foul line. particularly IN the second
half. proved the undoing of the Han
Oyerians. The lanky center Gagged seven
out of eleven tries, while Cullen was
making the only two called on during
the half.

Eddie McNichol was the happiest o.
the Penn contingent. II knew they
could do it. That team showed tn
old fight that has carried them through
the season with only one victory. Sure
I am happy, and we ought to win from
