YALE CAPTURES
COLLEGIATE TITLE
Bulldogs Show Great Offensive
Powers; Suffers Only One
Defeat During Season
New Haven, Conn., March 19. By
the greatest show of offensive strength
that any championship team ever dis
played, Yale captured the Intercol
legiate Basketball League title i>y
trouncing Princeton decisively in the
final game of the season. The Blue five,
a veteran combination, suffered only
one setback during the campaign, that
being at the hands of Princeton, but
it more than made up for this early
defeat when the Tigers were tackled
in the game on which the title hinged.
The Yale five rightly earned a place
with the great teams that have won
the title in other yvars. Save on only
two occasions, every man on the team
played championship basketball and
every regular finished in the first fif
teen in individual scoring.

CAPTAIN TAFT
Ivinney, the plucky little forward, a
brother of the late Gil Kinney, who
was coaching the team at the time of
his death, won the individual scoring
honors of the season with a total of
130 points, overhauling Ortner, of
Cornell, and Sisson, of Dartmouth, in
the last four games oif the series. Ort
ner, with R3 points, was second, while
Sisson was only one point behind the
Cornell man.
Near Old Record
From the floor Kinney scored 45
baskets, close to the record held by
Harry Fisher, the old Columbia star.
From the foul line he made only 44
points as against Sjsson's 62, but every
game in which Yale played was notice
ably clean and fewer fouls were called
on Yale than on any other team in the
league.
Yale's wonderful offensive strength
is best shown by the fact that .it
scored, all told, 141 Jield goals and 44
fouls for a total of 320 points in ten
games. Defensively, Yale was not
quite as strong as Princeton, yielding
220 points to its opponents, the total
being made up from 91 Held goals and
3 8 fouls.
Princeton was the best defensive
combination, allowing only 201 points
to opponents, and permitting only 67
field goals to be scored against it. On
the offense, however, the Tigers were
weak, scoring only 81 baskets, and
ranking lower than Cornell, Dart
mouth and Columbia in Ihat respect.
The Yale points scored were: Kinney,
130; Olson, 64; Garfield, 49; Walton,
46; Taft, (Capt.), 40.
