Indian Five's Supremacy Challenged By Tiger Team

Running true to form, this year's hoop race for league positions has turned into a mad scramble for win, place, and show spots as the seven teams come down the home stretch.

For the first time in four years, Dartmouth's basketball monopoly is hanging in the balance as Princeton threatens to challenge the Green's hoop supremacy in the seventh playoff in the 39 years of league history.

Frank Cappon's Orange and Black squad should have little trouble with Penn tomorrow night and thus slide into first place along with the idle Indians. And, by virtue of its late-season surge, it would not be a surprise if the Tigers trip the Indians in the playoff.

Cornell Meets Columbia

In the two other remaining league contests, Cornell appears ready to clinch its present third place standing tomorrow at the expense of sixth-place Columbia, while Harvard attempts to consolidate its fourth place against the Elis tonight.

Second only to the improvement shown by Princeton during the season has been the amazing change of face of the Crimson team. Coach Earl Brown, in his first year as Varsity coach, has already led his team to a better league record than last year and has developed a nucleus of three outstanding Sophomores for next year's five.

If the Big Red from Ithaca blows tomorrow's game with Columbia and Harvard can repeat last week's 60 to 47 performance against the Blue, the Crimson will wind up the season in a tie for third with a .500 batting average in twelve games.

Although Bunks Burditt, who has lately fallen in the shadow of Hugh Hyde's ascendancy, cannot hope to catch up to Munroe and Olsen in the individual scoring race, he has one more game in which to grab third place from Princeton's Lawry, who now holds a three margin over the Crimson Sophomore.
