'PENNSY QUINTET
 AGAIN HEADS LEAGUE
Red and Blue Is Favored to Cop
 Intercollegiate Title

New York, Feb a7.-Whilc the Princeton basketball team was idle during the past week, Pennsylvania made the most of their advantage, defeating Columbia at Weightman hall, thereby taking first place Tor the league title again. It is not likely that the Red and Blue will relinquish their lead this week, because while they arc engaging the tail-ending Yale five the Tigers will be batting with the Dartmouth team for the runner-up position.
 The Hanoverians, though outclassed by Penn two weeks ngo on their own court are still putting up a bold fight for the honors. Their victory over Cornell last Saturday by 27 To 22 score was a commendable perform ance. II is primarily through the stellar playing of Capt. Joe Miller that the Green has been able to keep in the running for the title.

Prince tons quintet gave the Green their first set back of the year when they met at Hanover in their initial league enga cement, the Tiger winning by the close score of 27 to 26.

MOUNTAINEERS
PLAY VIRGINIA
Trend AZ State School Is To
Resume Relations With
State Schools

MoRGANTowN, Jan. 2s-west
Virginia is gradually establishing
tho closest Of athletic rotations
with the University Of Virginia and
it is almost a certainty that in tho
future the Old Dominion irstltu-
ton will pc a permanent fixture
on the various Mountaineer carls.
The latest news to show that
relations arc going 10 De firmly
established Is the announcement
that the Mountaineer nine will
play two games at Charlottesville
on May 9Th and 9Th next, wtiic
Coach Rodgers has his tosJe;s on
q southern trip. It was gonS.al'y
known that negotiations for this
game were underway and while
the announcement that they have
been carded Is not a surprise IL
shows ~conclusively that -hs Moua-
tainoer athletic officials are not
losing any time in carrying out
their policy OF making closer al
liances with other state %universt-
ties. Virginia has been met al
ready this year In football and
wrestling, two baseball games
have already been scheduled and
there is a possibility that basket,
ball and tennis will be added dur
ing the 1~922-1923 collegiate year.
, The Mountaineers have only met
Virginia on the diamond during
one season since 1900 and that
was in 1918 when the southerners
dropped three games TO the Noun
! taineeds In q series here. West
Virginia had a great team that
season and had little trouble max
ing 1t three straight, but as Vir-
gtnfa has made rapid strides In the
diamond sport since that time and
will be playing before home fans
they will make things interesting
for the VARSITY.
CoincIdent with the announce.
mcut OF the scheduling Of two
games with The virginians comes
the news that negotiations where
by relations will either be opened
or resumed with other states uni
versities In this section are under
way and that within the next year
or 80 a number OF these teams will
be found on the Mountaineer sche-
dule regularly.

Opening Game Of 1906

BY NICK ALTRock. + +.
What Is the greatest ball game

les been 80 long since I pitched
that a lot Of people probably have
forgotten I ever earned my living
that way.
/ have pitchedsa lot Of bad ball
games In my career and few good
ones. However, in my memory, one
game stands out above all, others;
the first game OF the 1906 world
series.
Faldem VIII recall that the Chi.
lcage White Sox won the pennalt
that year. after a hard struggle. For
those who have a bad. memory
might add that I was a member Of
that team.
With the race half oyer no. one
figured the .Sox had a chance. II
looked like a cin6h that We would
finish in'theisecond division. Then

year. The cubs that year out:
elassed the National League, win.
ming 116 games and losing only 36.
It was considered an invincible ,ag.
gregation, managed by the .Peer-
Hess Leader" Frank Chance.
Against that combination no one
gave the Sox q, chance. Tho White
iSox wero known as the "Hitless

ness at the bat The club had a
good pitching stat and a fine de

The winning OF the first game In

la victory gives o club much need

Sox, a team not conceded oven an
outside chance, the winning OF that
game meant everything.

managing our club, didn't sleep a
