Princeton j and Columbia will be important fac- ; tors. The New Yorkers still have a look-in. The present week brings a schedule j which does not promise as much as the games set for the past week. Cor- I nell and Columbia play at Ithaca Fri day, a contest which should provide , plenty of thrills, and on Saturday Yale plays Pennsylvania, and Princeton meets Dartmouth. On form the two leading fives should win handily. The | present standing shows that Colunt- | bia's hopes of winning the champion ship are not altogether groundless at this time, a hypothetical situation can j l>e constructed that gives the Blue and i "White at least a look-in. as Columbia j beating Cornell. Princeton beating i Yale and Columbia beating Princeton i in the final game. This would make I the Blue and White team one of three j quintets tied for tirst place. George H. Swartz to Direct H. A.
