Pennsylvanians securing revenge for
the defeat received at the hands OF

ter guards, got up the floor for six
field goals and was easily the star OF
the game. For Wilmington Lou ia

defensive and floor game, tossing a
brace Of two-timers also. Captain
Weiner kept up his high class per-

sible for Lichtenstein's scoring. The
latter got four from the field.
