 WIN OVER MOHAWkS
Take City League Victory on
 Slippery Floor S8-22

All that the Mohawks and Eagles needed Saturday night to start d new athletic sport was skates: for the state armory floor was so slippery as
 result of the Legion dance the previous night that the players found It almost impossible to keep their footing, they slipped and slid about
 and anything like speed was useless to attempt. As result. the city league game was decidedly slow from
 a. floor work viewpoint. However, the
 Eagles, by superior pass work and
 almost uncanny shooting by Shultz in
 the second half, slapped it onto the
 Mohawks by the score of 3S to 22.
 Grobstein made g record that it
 probably will be 8 long time before
 he equals. This player, usually con- tent with a single floor basket a game, started off hostiltics by dropping in a double decker for the initial tally
 of the game, and then dropped in two
 more in the first half. The score was
 so in favor of the Eagles before the
 Mohawks got under way al all, then Tancred swishcd one through the net and q foul by SChmitt added an- other point. But for each point the Mohawks got in the opener. the Eagles got about two. the scorers for the former being Restelli for two double dcckers and Schmitt for a loncr while Grobstein looped his three, Swanson one, Anderson one and swanson one.
 The feature of the second half was the playing Of Schultz. This young ster had a way of eluding his guard and lettering in the vicinity of the l basket and before the whistle blew he had accounted for seven field goals in this half, In this however, the | of his running mate, | swanson, should not be overlooked | for he passed well as did Anderson. | Swanson himself got three in this 1 frame as did Schmitt Of tho Mohawks.

FIRST PLACE FIGHT.
 | ON COLLEGE COURTS
Columbia Ys. Cornell --Kneass
 Leading Scorer

New York, Feb. 1S.--Five import- ant games are scheduled in the Inter- collegiate Basketball league this week. The most important are Columbia's invasion of Ithaca on Tuesday night to meet Cornell and Cornell's invasion of Philadelphia on Friday night for clash with Penn.
 First place will be at stake in the Columbia-C game. The Itha- cans, by virtue of their victory over Dartmouth, have & full game lead over the New York tossers, but the Ortner team will meet the crucial test of the season, thus far, in facing Columbia.
 Cornell has won four out of five starts, three of the victories being reg istered on the home court, one at Hanover and the defeat suffered at the hands of Yale at New Haven. Columbia has won it's three games on the home court but bowed to Dart mouth at Hanover. Cornell's victory over Dartmouth and Pennsylvania triumph at Princeton were the first league victories registered by visit ing team.
 Other games scheduled this week include the Dartmouth-Yale clash at New Haven on Wednesday night and the Princeton Yale game at New Haven and the Dartmouth- Columbia game at New York on Friday night.
 Although mathematically they have chance, Yale and Princeton, at the bottom of the heap with one victory and three defeats, are practically out of the running while Pennsylvania and Dartmouth have a little better chance. Dartmouth has won two out of four games, having scored SS points in the four games and having been scored against for total of ss points.
