THE END OF BASKETBALL

Dartmouth improved her standing in the intercollegiate league of last year by one place, finishing fifth instead of last. In a whirlwind finish, the Green quintet managed to nose out a game with Cornell, only to lose one to Princeton and an extra-league game to Syracuse. The Cornell game was especially close, due to the sensational playing of the visitors on the Ithacan floor, the score standing 29-24. Rau showed premier form at forward, caging three baskets from the field and drawing from the CornellDaily Sun the comment: "His work was the best seen here this season." At Princeton, the Tigers came through in a last minute spurt for a 25-22 win. Much the same was the story of the Syracuse game, in which the Orangemen turned the trick in the second half for a 20-15 victory.

Eight players completed the requirements for a "D": C. J. Eskeline '16, G. H. Martin '16, J. A. Pelletier '16, G. V. Rector '16, E. R. Williams '16, W. S. Sisson '17, A. H. Steenrod '17, and F. L. Rau '18. Sisson was subsequently elected captain for the season of 1916-17.
