DARTMOUTH 30—SYRACUSE 18
In the last game played at Hanover this season, Dartmouth defeated the basketball team from Syracuse by the decisive score of 30 to 18. Although the game was somewhat marred by occasional roughness, it was one of the speediest contests which was played at Hanover this year. Three of Dartmouth's players appeared in Hanover for their last varsity game, and each put up a stellar exhibition. Dingle secured five baskets, for the record, Brady caged three of the most sensational shots he has ever made, and Gibson held the speedy Syracuse captain to but two baskets in forty minutes of whirlwind playing.
The first half ended 12 to 8 in Dartmouth's favor. Dingle secured three and Mensel one from the floor, and Brady made four fouls out of a possible six. Ainsley and Kilpatrick scored for the visitors. Hoban's playing was a feature of the second period. The visitors' work was excellent, but they were outclassed by the shooting and speed of the Green.
