Is the record that has placed the lied and Uluo on the basketball map and
has flung Lou Jourdet's ntmo as a coach wherever the collegiate siwrt Is
.played.
It was curtains for the league season Saturday night when the Quakeis
parceled out the second defeat to Princeton and dosed one of the most suc
cessful cage years that Penn has survived In a decade. Only one game was
lost In a list of fifteen contests, but that one defeat, Intlicted by Yale, was
suffered in the early part of the season when the team was crippled h.
the absence of one of the regulars. The sdiowimr this year, however, is onlv
a sample of the quality of basketball that has ben exhibited at Welghtmaii
Hall and on the road during the last four years.

three times with a loss of sixteen contests. In his five veuis as coach of the

sixteen reverses were legistered in lOll-l.".. In the last four years the
won-and-lost columns show thirty and nine for a percentage of .770. There

in, Ms undergraduate days and it was expected there would be friction be
tween the teacher and the pupils. And there was friction.
The new coach installed the live men across the Hoot- s.iotem on the

he did not meet with immediate success can be charged to the lack of whole
hearted co-operation on the part of the players. It's hard to put over new

league season ended in a tie with Plinceton. Both teams had won eight

that the sectional championships had
been more successful ln arousing local

It Is hoped that an unusually large

The most important result has been
