THE leaders in the Intercollegiate
L Basketball League continued in their
winning mood last evening and the race
for college honors promises to be one
Of the most hectic affairs In history.
Penn journeycd to New Haven and de-.
feated the tailenders. 81 to 16, while
up at Princeton J. Hillman Zahn
handed Brother George W. A. Zahn
and Dartmouth another setback by the
score of % to 10.
The reverse to the Big Green i've
just about puts the Hanoverians out
of the running and 1t looks a. II all the
excitement is to be crowded around the
two P's, Penn and Princeton. II has
been suggested that Brother George
come here and knock Penn of and then
Hill finish the job by winning the Hnal.
But this is not very likely, although
Princeton is very much in the running
and not to be taken lightly. The Tigers
have bunch Of shooters that are liable
to cut loose at &ny minute. as was
evident last night. The defeat Of Dart
mouth was as much an upset as the
one point triumph Of the Tigers at
Hanover. 1t was the second time that
Hill Zahn had beaten George this year.
Penn Has 1t Easy
Penn won just about as she pleased
with the Eli tailcnders. The final score
was 81 to 16, and the Red and Blue
did not exert itself in the first half.
Eddie McNichol's proteges started out
to make victory secure and In the first
few minutes made goals with abandon.
At the end of the initial half Penn was
ahead by 20 to7.
In the second period many change.
were made in the lineup, Label
GoIdblatt taking the place of Benny
Deseen and the latter coming back to
ward the finish. James also went in
at forward for Walt Huntzinger and
when he was sent back James moved
to guard, relieving POS" Miller fol-
a time.
The champions counted on eleven oc.
casions from the field as against seven
for the tailenders. Bill Grave made a
big, gain in the dividual ratings by
oSNShtVSh TclO duU
nine free tosses and was the high In
dividual scorer. Huntzinger also had
his eagle eye with him and registered
a quartet Of two pointers.
Defense Spoils Dartmouth
The defense Of the Princeton auin
tet was too much for Dartmouth tc
fathom and the Hanoverians were Sc,
down by the Tigers to the delight O,
one of the largest crowds that has at
| tended a Princeton game this year. Sc
close did the Tiger defense keep thei,
opponents under cover that Dartmouth
did not connect with a field goal In thu
first thirty-tivc minutes.
This Is one of the most brilliant ex.
hibitions of guarding seen in college
ranks this year. The winners bac
seven baskets to their credit as agains,
two for the losers, and both came ir
the closing minutes, one by Milar ant
the other by Moore. 1t was only the
foul tosses of Timmie Cullen that ken,
the Big Green In the running.
The diminutivc forward had hi.
eagle eye working and made 10 out o.
20 attempts, although Loeb, of Prince
ton. was, not fur behind. with 13 ou,
of 20. The totals at half time wer,
II to Z. klaess. Loeb and Scidcn
site kcr all played well for Princeton
and made two field goals each, tn,
other going to Wright.
