Anomalous Record

Looking back over the season, Dartmouth's record will seem incongruous. The Indians tied with Yale in the standing, and yet the Blue twice fell victim to Dartmouth in the home and home series. Princeton wound up the season in the league cellar with one victory and nine defeats, and yet that lone victory was scored at the expense of Dartmouth! And Cornell, twice beaten by Yale, scored another win over the Green. But such results are what always make the league race interesting, and a general perspective view of this basketball loop will show that it is just about the most popular and active of all the leagues found in the Eastern colleges' territory.

The final standing was as follows: Columbia 10 0 Dartmouth 6 4 Yale 6 4 Cornell 4 6 Pennsylvania 3 7 Princeton 1 9

Looking at the Dartmouth team from the individual player's standpoint, there were two men on this year's team who "made good" in every sense of the word, and even if several valuable veterans are lost by graduation, Harold Mackey and Jack Smart will form a strong nucleus for next year. Both of these players developed late in the season for sophomores, and Smart did not get his chance until the second Pennslyvania game, when he stepped in and was the high scorer of the evening against the Quakers. Mackey proved his worth by holding Gregory of Columbia and Patterson of Yale, two of the best centers of the league, scoreless from the field in successive games.

Capt. Gray Magee, Ed Picken, Lauri Myllykangas all graduate, while Irving Kramer will probably not be available for basketball on account of medical work next year. This wholesale loss of talent will throw the burden upon the undefeated freshman team, but with Edwards, Stangle, Krasewski and Miller Dolly Stark will find good working material.
