TECH DEFEATS DARTMOUTH

The Dartmouth basketball team lost the first game of the season to a fast team from Massachusetts Tech, Saturday, December 11, by the score of 26 to 22. The work of Brady and Hedges in the latter part of the second half almost overcame the long lead of the Boston men, but time was called before the score could be tied. Dartmouth displayed a lack of team work, and unpolished play, which showed to a "disadvantage against the veterans of Technology.

For the visitors Captain Wentworth and Parker played excellent ball.

DARTMOUTH DEFEATS W. P. I

In a ragged exhibition of basketball Dartmouth won from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, December 19, 49 to 15. While the score would indicate that Dartmouth was far superior, the victory was due rather to the inability of Worcester to locate the basket. Their shooting was wretched while Dartmouth's was fair.
