BASKETBALL IMPROVES STEADILY

On the other hand, basketball at Dartmouth has been more encouraging with each recent contest. Coach Osborne Cowles was free to admit that the early campaign was spent in experiment with player combinations and the building up of a sound offense and defense. A capacity Carnival throng was the first to enjoy the full fruits of all this painstaking and patient labor on the part of Coach Cowles and the Indian squad.

It was a real thrill to watch Y-Y-Yale go down to a 35-25 drubbing at the hands of Captain Hal Parachini and his mates, not so much for the pleasure of seeing Dartmouth triumph over Yale, but more especially because the Indians were rank out- siders. Again on the 17 th of last month the Big Green journeyed to Boston to match skill with a rather amazing Harvard basketball five. Up until this winter it has been said that basketball at Cambridge was a "so what" sport. But a winning team has changed this attitude and there was much talk of just how high Harvard would climb in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League after defeating the Big Green. This, of course, all happened before the game and the Indians rubbed it in, 44-31, in a coast. Which was actually more fun than a leading team all the way through the season for the local sporting species of students and townsfolk.
