DARTMOUTH 21—WILLIAMS 23

On January 22 Dartmouth was defeated by the fast team from Williams in one of the closest and fastest contests ever' seen in Bissell Hall.

The Williams team was a noteworthy aggregation for its brilliancy in shooting baskets. Dartmouth, however, was not far behind in this department of the game, Brady caging two pretty goals, one thrown the entire length of the floor. Mullen was the individual star for the Green, while Lambie and Wallace distin- guished themselves for Williams.

Defeated by 17 to 10 in the first half, Dartmouth took a decided brace in the second period, scoring eleven points to the opponents' six. The summary:

DARTMOUTH 30—YALE 19

Before a crowded gymnasium at the Springfield Training School, Dartmouth outplayed the Yale basketball team on February 12, and overwhelmed the Blue to the tune of 30 to 19.

In the first half Yale was clearly outclassed. The excellent team work of the Green kept the Yale men confused, and made their attempts at scoring ineffective. Brady made a perfect record at free tries, scoring six baskets on fouls. The half ended 23 to 3, S. Murfey, an ex-Dartmouth man, making the only basket for Yale. .

The second half opened with a reversal of form. The Green's team work fell to pieces and Yale could not locate the baskets. The game became somewhat rough, and after a series of fouls Dartmouth braced and held the Blue scoreless.

DARTMOUTH 38—ALUMNI 14

The varsity basketball team found the alumni an easy proposition on February 19, and romped away with the contest, 38 to 14. The result is rather surprising when it is remembered that practically the same teams had to play an extrasesssion game last year. Although the varsity was not up to its usual form, the oldtimers were unable to play a fast contest. McGrail and Russ for the alumni, and Brady and Mensel for the varsity were the stars.

The first half ended 11-4 for the varsity. Mensel shot three goals in succession, Mullen caged one, and Brady made two free throws. Russ alone scored for the alumni.

In the second period the varsity got down to form, and tallied thirteen goals to the alumni's five. Brady made six, Whitney three, while Gibson, Hoban, and Pierce each made one. Russ, McGrail, and Hobart scored for the alumni.

The game was free from roughness, only five fouls being called on the alumni, and seven on the varsity. The summary:

DARTMOUTH ALUMNI Brady, If lg, McGrail Mullen, Whitney, rf rg, Bankart Dingle, Pierce, c c, Ailing Mensel, Jones, lg If, Russ Gibson, Hoban, rg rf, Hobart

Goals from floor—Brady 7, Mensel 3, Whitney 3, Hoban 2, Russ 3, McGrail, Hobart, Pierce, Gibson, Mullen. Goals from fouls— Russ 4, Brady 2. Referee—Lang.

WESLEYAN 32—DARTMOUTH 15

On February 21 Wesleyan retrieved her former defeat by overwhelming the Green on the home floor, 32 to 15.
