COLGATE AN INTERLUDE

Colgate's powerful team came to Hanover as an interlude in the league campaign and bowed to the Green, 30 to 22. Dolly Stark's club played one of its best games of the season and appeared particularly strong in the second half. Colgate held a one-point lead, 14 to 13, at half time, but Dartmouth came back strong after the rest period and ran up 14 points while the Red Raiders seemed helpless to stem the flood of baskets. Bonniwell led his mates with a total of 14 points, and Jake Edwards enjoyed a return to form, sinking five floor goals.

The Green five journeyed to Philadelphia on February 19 for the resumption of its league campaign, and was bowled over, 35 to 22, by the league-leading Pennsylvania outfit. "Jocko" Stangle, guard and steadying influence on the team, was out of action with a bad foot, and the Indians sorely missed his services.

Dartmouth ran up a 6-1 lead in the early minutes of play, but the Quakers soon began to click and tossed in three baskets to bring the score to 7-all. Don Kellett broke the deadlock with a spectacular shot, and from this point on Penn increased its lead to 17-8 at half time. The Quakers kept the upper hand throughout the second period, and the Green five never seriously threatened.

Kellett and O'Donnell led the Red and Blue scorers with 9 points each, while Jake Edwards topped the Indians with 8 points. Al Bonniwell lost ground in the race for league honors by sinking only three points during the evening.

Dartmouth's fifth straight league defeat was administered two nights later at Princeton, when the Tigers triumphed, 31 to 22, in a weird game that saw the Green five fail to make a single floor goal during the opening half. Trailing 18 to 3, the Indians had an astonishing reversal of form in the second period and cut Princeton's lead from 17 points to four. With Al Bonniwell, Jake Edwards, and Bob Miller running wild, Dartmouth crawled up to 26-22, and four minutes of play still remained. Princeton was playing a frantic defensive game at this point, and finally MacMillan broke through on a Dartmouth pass and caged a basket to halt the Green rally. All the remaining points went to the Tigers, and the final standing gave them a decisive ninep-oint margin.

Aside from a foul shot by Hubbell, all of Dartmouth's points were scored by three men. Bonniwell totaled 9 points for the evening, and divided scoring honors with MacMillan of Princeton, while Edwards and Miller followed with 6 points each.
