DARTMOUTH 20—TECH 14

In the last game of basketball to be played on the floor of Bissell Hall, Dartmouth defeated Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on January 7, 20 to 14. The game was characterized by rough playing, thirty-two penalties being inflicted, and five men were disqualified from the game under the new rules, each having been five times penalized for fouls.

DARTMOUTH 18—COLGATE 24

The first game of the initial trip of the season was lost to Colgate on January 12, the score being 24 to 18.

The contest was ragged throughout the entire period, both teams playing an indifferent game. Gibson was the one bright star for Dartmouth, scoring twelve of the Green's eighteen points.

DARTMOUTH 18—CORNELL 34

The trip proved to be too hard for the team to make and play consistent basketball. The second game was lost to Cornell the next night, 34 to 18.

The Green played a plucky game throughout, and was defeated only at the end of the second period, by the Ithacans excelling in basket throwing.

DARTMOUTH 14—SYRACUSE 11

The last game of the series was won by Dartmouth on Saturday night, January 14; Syracuse being defeated 14 to 11. The whole team showed the effects of its exhausting trip, and it was only by summoning great endurance that the contest was won. The game was close throughout, neither team having a safe lead at any stage of it.
