Mr. Paul W. Gibbons, In his article last
Sunday, In tho Public Lnoai.ii, said:
"For tho llrst tlma In tho history of
Philadelphia tennis there, will bo at least
one sanctioned tournament In tho Phila
delphia section every month, and It will
not only not bo necessary for thoso ot
Philadelphia's star players who deserve
a placement In tho ranking list to travel
tho distances necessary to go on the big
circuit of tournaments, but tho Hanking
Commltteo will bo forced to consider
theso tournaments In arriving at their
sequenco of placoments. It Is, ot course,
desirable to tako In tho largo circuit In
cluding Nassau, Scabrlght, Southamp
ton, Newport, Longwood nnd, by all
means, tho national championships nt
Forest Hills, and thosa players who can
afford to do so could spend their sum
mer In no moro enjoyable manner."
Ranking System
This Is pertinent comment, and shows
how clearly Mr. Gibbons sees tha defect
In our present ranking system. Tho Hank
ing Committee has not, and, from pres
ent Indications, will not consider the rec
ords of players In our Philadelphia tour
naments. Thoy will bo forced to recog
nize thesa tournaments this year, owing
to ths number of them, provided men of
reputo nnd ability play In them. Let all
the men of ability around Philadelphia
not only play themselves, but use their
Influence to get visiting stars In our local
events. The entries of such men as Wal
lace J. Johnson, Joseph J, Armstrong, Dr.
IJ. B. Dewhurst, Willis U Davis, Alexan
der D. Thayer, Stanley W. Pearson. It.
C. Wlster, Joseph It. Carpenter and Craig
Blddlo would be enough tu mako any tour
nament. Then there is always the chanco
of William J. Clothier or Richard N. Wil
liams, 2d, being homo to play. With all
or most of these entries In most of these
events, the Hanking Committee would be
forced to give considerable thought to
the Philadelphia tournaments. Add a few
visiting players of repute, and these events
would rank with any tournament outside
the big circuit,
This Is the year to make tennis boom
In Philadelphia, Let us all do our part
both in playing In the tournaments our
selves and In getting others to enter.

TIGERS SIMPLY THRUST CAGE n
TITLE ON
Red and Blue, Virtually Forced Into Play for
Intercollegiate Crown, Outclasses i3
Princeton
By SPICK HALL
A3 ALL of lis f-rudlto know full well,
jnUhcrG nro threo ways of being great.
Well, tho University of Pennsylvania bas
ketball team five had It thrust, brutally
nnd with mnllco aforethought, thrust upon
them. Hcnco tho Bed and Blue sphere
tosscrs nro now tho undisputed nnd much
heralded champions of tho Intercollegiate
League by vlrtuo of their 10-11 victory
over Princeton last evening nt Welghlman
Hall.
Conch Lon Jourdet, of Penn, to whom,
by tho way, belongs tho major portion ot
tho honor for winning thli title, did not
want to Indutgo in a play-off with tho
Tigers becauso his team had broken train
ing nt tho end of tho lcaguo season, whllo
tho Tigers had continued to keep on edge,
hoping that they would bo nhlo to Invclglo
Penn Into playing a post-sorles game.
When tho season closed Polin nnd Princo
ton had each won eight games nnd lost
two. They had lost ono gamo to each
other nnd the second to Ynlo, which made
It fairly close, you'll admit
But Princeton was not satisfied The
Tlgori have threo of their legulnrs de
parting after thli year by graduation
This niadd them rcallzo that there was a.
baskotball tltlo to bo had now or possibly
not for many years to come. Tho result
of this reasoning was that they decided
to cntlco Penn Into a gamo nnd dofeat
them Ingloriously nnd carry tho entire
crown back to tho President's former
haunts In Jersey.
Princeton Eager
Pcrndvcnturo you havo noticed that
when a man Is so eager to start a llttlo
gamo of chance, such ns poker or a
sennco with tho bones, ho In tho loser nlno
times out ot ten. So It was with Prince
ton. Tho Tlgort almost forced, ns it wore,
the team Into tho gamo tn dccldo tho has
ketball championship. After tho Red nnd
Bluo faculty commltteo had decided thnt
Penn should play regardless of what
Jourdet thought of tho mntter, Lon
promptly got his men together and began
putting through a strenuous scries of
drills. How well ho performed his task
was shown by tho notion last night. In
every department of piny Penn completely
outclassed Princeton. Tho Tigers scored
fhren field iroals acalnst flvo for Penn.
Hddlo McNIchol, the Red nnd Bluo leader,
tossed six fouls through tho rim out of
exar-tly six chance-, an nverage that Ty
Cobb has not yet been nblo to reach. Hn'ts
and Paulson together nnnexeu cignt one-
pointers out of 11 attempts. Tho latter
missed only one of his six chances.
Whllo tho figures given nbove demon
strate clearly that Penn wns superior to
tho rival from across tho Delaware, they
do not show that Ponn wns far and away
ahead of Princeton as they lined up nt
8:23 o'clock Wednesday evening. If tho
ofllclals, Messrs. Deerlng, referee, of Man
hattan, nnd OstcrdorfT, umplro, ot Spring
field, had not worn Palm Beach uniforms,
Penn might havo won by a deserving
score. As it was, this pair or omciai3
failed utterly to seo tho numerous glaring
Illegal plays committed by Princeton. In
fact, wo almost aro tempted In tho first
placo to say thnt Penn defeated the
Frlncoton varsity foul team, so defiant
wero tho wearers of tho Ornngo and Black
of tho Intercolleglato codo.
Foul Tactics
Among tho fow foul tactics which wo
wcro nhlo to enumerate on Princeton
were: Running with tho ball, holding,
pulling, hugging, butting, tripping,
straight-arming, kneeing, elbowing nnd
blocking. Theso may bo assets In somo
sports, but they nro not In basketball, If
tho refcreo Is "on tho Job." But neither
tho rcferco nor tho umpire nppoarcd to
caro how many fouls Princeton com
mitted and, aB tlmo went on and tho big
Tiger team saw that It could get away
with this "rough stuff," they Increased Its
Intensity. Possibly Penn would have tried
something of the kind, too, by way of re
taliation, If tho players had been able, but
they wero not. The Quakers were out
weighed nt least a dozen pounds to tho
man, henco Princeton had little trouble in
roughing tho Ponn men badly, nnd the
worst of It was that they got away with It.
On tho whole tho oiTlclatlng was quite as
bad as tho weather last night, and that is
about ns far as any ono could go in the
matter of comparisons.
As usual, there was a brilliant crowd
present nt Welghtman Hall. Extra seats
wero Installed, so that thero wcro possibly
more than 1500 persons nruund the court.
A largo percentage of tho spectators were
of the weaker but deadlier sex. Throughout
the gamo tho shrill squeals of femininity
could be heard abovo tho hoarso roar of
Fenn Varsity yell. It was not necessary
for Penn or Princeton to score to bring
forth npplauso. Everybody seemed to ap
plaud all tho time, whether It was needed
or not.
Penn began tho game by scoring about
10 seconds after play had started. Mo
Tlgue. tho Tiger centre, outjumped Jef
ford on the opening play, Just ns ho did
throughout the entire gamoj but Eddie
McNIchol managed to get tho ball after a

llttlo guard Immediately shot a beautiful
goal from tho centre of the fioor and nt,r),
a sharp angle. After Princeton had made
a foul goal Marin scored again on a pasa"""
from Williamson. .
Tho Tigers scored twlco moro on foul
goals, then Martin scored his third field
gnat on a splendid pas! from Captain '
McNIchol.
Kereo, Princeton forward, scored ft field
goat on nn nsslst from Haas. The pair , ,
swapped around and tho latter counted
from tho field on tho former's assist.
At tho end of tho first half Penn led, 9
to 7, Martin having scored threo field
goals, Williamson ono and McNIchol ono
foul goal. Princeton, Incidentally, only
had ono foul called on her during tho "
flrst period, and that was n double, which
McNIchol made good, but on which Haas
failed.
Fast Play t s
Play In tho second half, particularly tho
mlddlo part, was much more spirited than
tho llrst. Princeton attempted to run'"
down tbo Fenn men by bruto force ; but .
finally Deerlng began to call a fow fouls, 4
and they wero hatted In this phase of
play. Ponn scored three foul goals be-1" "
foro tho second half had been under way
flvo minutes. About this tlmo Paulson
went Into tho gamo for Princeton. He
played forward In placo of Haas, who
took Rahtll's placo at guard. Paulson
annexed ono field goal and flvo fouls out ol'
of six. Lato In tho fray Glick, tho Tlger)ltl
football star, replaced Fcrco at forward,
and Cunco went In at guard for Davles.
Penn scored only ono field goal In the
second period. That was a long Bhot by
Martin, which brought his total up to mu
four out of tho flvo Penn two-polntera IJW
made.
Martin's play was tho big featuro of
tho gamo. He is very small, but ho
handled tho hall splendidly, Boldom, "'
fumbled nnd but for the fault of holdtng-rww
tho ball too long In his territory, played
a brilliant contest. In tho last few
minutes of play, when Princeton had
come within two points of tying Penn, jm
Martin and McNIchol played heady (orf
basketball by simply smothering the ball
on all occasions until tlmo was cauea.
