PENN FIVE EASY WINNER
Stannard Stars Against Columbia
With Eight Goals
It was u fortunate thing for Perm
last evening that Andy Stannard rc-
. fused to Join tho other players in taking
1 a night off, elso the Red and Blue
would havo had another defeat chalked
up agalnut them Instead of a victory.
The I'enn p'aers, with tho exception of
Stannard, put up a wlerd exhibition
and tho only things that saved them
wero tho plajlng of Andy and tho fact
that Columbia was even worse than
Penn.
Tho gamo was one of tho poorest ever
'staged in Welghtman Hall. Except for
b. few minutes toward tho finish of tho
contest tho players dragged themselves
about tho floor, throwing tho ball Into
tho crowd many times on attempted
parses. As for the shooting, tho least
said the better. Most of the shots went
yards uway from tho backboard.
It wan the work of Stannard that
rave Penn tho game by tho scoro of
32.20. All that Andy did In the forty
minutes was lo cage eight double deck
ers, twice us' many as tho other mem
bers of tho home team tallied. This
gives Stannard a big lead in tho field

accounts. Peck scored twice and Mc

To Murahal Moral Force
As outlined by President Wilson tho
league us proposed In the draft which
he hau brought homo with him Is it
marshaling of tho moral force of the
world. When his attention was called
to tho fact that ho had said In Franio
that back of It was "force," he said this
was true, that behind was .1 great po
tential force, but ns explained by him,
the league lacks teeth which It was sup
posed to possess.
' Tlio President acknowledged that tho
draft which has been adopted Is tha
British proposition. France. Italy, Great
Britain and the United States submitted
tentative drafts, but ufter final discus
sion it was decided to accept the British
proposition, but not tho ono drawn by
General Smuts.

visions of tho lcaguo's constitution, the

clause referring to consideration being
given n country's geographic situation
In determining Ita armed forces. He
Is said to have answered that tho clause
referred chiefly to France, whoso people
feared Gennuny might become strong
somo time In tho future and again
threaten Invasion. In this connection
the question waa asked If tho proviso
might not also help Great Britain In
retaining Its great navy, und tho Presi
dent unwv.-fcred this might bo the result
because of the wldo distribution of tho
British colonies.
Tho President Is understood to havo
said Germany wan the only menace to
European peace, and that no war In
Europo waa possible for twenty years
at least becauso of tho exhaubtlon of
the countries.
Senator Brandegco asked how future
American Congresses were to bo bound
by acceptance of tho league, and the
President answered that tho 'eglslatlve
body could not bo bound, tn this con
nection Senator Knox said that treaties
could not change tho Constitution of tho
United Mates, but that u treaty, If ac
ccped, would be doubtless observed In
tho futuro ua a matter of good faith
Fours Despair In World
"The President felt that If the league
Is not ratified." said Chairman Hitch
cock, "there would be despair through

ous complication, the Piesldent felt,
might result at an early dale from fall,

on various subjects which have been re
ferred to International commissions."
