that a scries for the championship of

n Kngland last fall In which 101 teams
took part. A great many players who
were membtis of minor leagues und
seml-profossloml clubs in the Dominion
are "over theiu," and of th teams which

in his old-time form
In their four victories the Tenn play
ers have defeated their most d ingorous
rivals. Prlncton, Yale, Columbia and
Cornell havo fallen before the attack of
the Quakers, nnd as Dartmouth Is vvoe-fiill-
weak this sea-on the two contests
scheduled with the Clrcen virtually can
be counted as triumphs already.
The mon pleislng part of the Penn
victory was that tho Quakers won on
field goals nnd not on fouls Ten bas
kets were tossed through tho net by
Jourdefs pupils, while only eight were
made by the ithacins Only three fouls '
were called on Cornell and Mike Swce-llh'ls and Braves In Series

Columli'a seond another victory over
Dartmouth and advanced to a tie for
