widest distribution possible, relieving the
anxiety of many other editors who would

less than two weeks ago by defeating
Cornell 80 to %. last night. Dart
mouth kept its mathematical chance
of tying Pennsylvania at the finish.
The decision comes next Saturday
when Dartmouth and Penn meet at
Hanover. By winning that game,
Dartmouth can finish with seven
victories and three defeats. Penn has
lost only one contest in eight starts
SO far and is sure to win the crown
if it can beat Dartmouth or take the
final game of the season from the
tail-end Princeton Tigers.
Cornell. victorious over Dart
mouth on the Green's home floor a
short time ago. was favored to end
the race last night. Two Dartmouth
players had other ideas. Helm and
Spaeth led Green victory after
Cornell had held the lead most of the
time.
The next contest on the league
schedule, meeting between Yale
and Columbia here tomorrow. has
little bearing on the final standing.
Neither can move ahead OF Dart
