FRESHMAN BASKETBALL

At Princeton, January 19, the Freshman basketball team met its first defeat of the season when Princeton outscored the Hanover boys 33 to 28. The game was close at all times both teams displaying a fast passing attack and accurate shooting. Dartmouth held an 18 to 16 lead at the end of the half but was unable to maintain this when Princeton rallied. For Princeton Alexander, was the leading individual performer. For Dartmouth, Captain Picken, with a point total of 12 was the best scorer.

Preceding the Dartmouth-Pennsylvania game, February 12, the freshman team had little difficulty in winning from the Holderness School, of Plymouth, N. H., by a score of 42 to 6. Gray was the high scorer for the freshmen.

The Colby Academy team gave the freshmen much trouble in a game preliminary to the Cornell-Dartmouth battle, February 16. Throughout the first half of the contest the Colby defense proved sufficiently strong to check the freshman attack and the schoolboys displayed a skill in passing and shooting which enabled them to lead for a while and at half time to be tied with the Dartmouth team. During the second half of the game the Colby team was not so effective and the freshmen were able to run up a total giving them the game by a 22 to 11 score.
