Havo Strong Finish The playing of tho Pcnn team In the second half of the game with Swarth moro quintet Saturday night waa of high order, nnd speaks well of their chances wllh Princeton. If Coach Jourdct and Martin can get the team to play with the same dash In the first half that haa characterized their gamo Immediately following the Intermission, Pcnn will cause Princeton a great deal moro worrl menr. , i In tho Yale and Swnrthmoro games the Quakers went about their work In the first half apparently without any oer-abundanco of pep. Their guarding was open for criticism. They Beemed content to keep tho ball around the cen ter of the floor, trusting to long shots Instead of working nearer the basket. In tho second half, however, all was different. They played with a dash that literally carried their opponents off the floor. The passing, shooting and cut ting for the basket was on a par with any college team in tho country. Battery Men Report Baseball will come Into Us own at Penn this afternoon.
