the Center lassies by the score of 16-5.
In the first game of the afternoon

of the way. At the end of the first
half of the game the score was tied at
16-16. At the end of the game the
score was tied and the management
of both teams agreed to play a five
minute overtime period. At the close
of the five minute period the score was
again tied. so it was agreed to pay a
second five minute period. The teams
fought very hard during the second
overtime period. but at the close of
this period the score was again tied..
Both teams were given a. five minute
rest and’ a. third over-time period was
pluycd. It was during this period that
Captain Eddie Root of the Center
team. tossed in the ball which gave his
team the victory by the slight margin
of one point.
Couch Strong of the Hartford team.
showed his line sportsmanship. when
h let Captain Root of the Center
tu-ini rcmnin in the game after four
personal fouls had been called on
him. By this fine not of sportsman-
ship. it can be safely said that Coach
Strong presented the game to the local
school. It was Captain Root who
scored the points \\'ill(‘il meant victory
for the Center school team.
Root and l‘ritchnrd were the only
players on the local team to score.
lzoot tossed in nine field goals and
nine foul goals 1‘0: :1 total of :27 points.

ing his share of the points scored 14.

previous mcrting with this team.
L". cry player was in the game every
minute. and always had his eye on the
hull. Anderson, the right guard. was
ilulovcd from the game during the
around half. when four personal fouls
Wore chalked up against him. His
place was taken by It}. Ilrotherton,
who played a good floor game and is
deserving of credit for his line show-
ing in this contest. after playing a full
game with the Center Seconds in the
first game of the afternoon.
Volvo and Guerrtero were the lead-
ing scorers for the Brown team. Valve
tossed in four field goals and five foul
goals for a total of 13 points. Guer-
ricro rustlcd the netting five times for
field goals and four times for foul

game at Center. In fact every player
on the visiting team put up a fine
game.
In the smut-final game of the after-
noon the Alumnae girls defeated the
Center lussics by the score of 16-5.
This game was hard fought all of the
way. but the Alumnae girls were just
a little bit too strong for the Center
tcmn. Misses Peck and Ncaubaur
were the trading scorers for the
Alumnae team and thr- Misscs Shepard
and Shilepsky Were the stars for the
Center team.

Yale’s Basketball
Team Is Sensation
of Great Season
Yale is the Intercollegiate Basket-
ball League champion for 1923. The
New Haven team will be the second
one to heme its name inscribed on the
Alexander Trophy. Princeton having
won temporary possession of the cup
last year.
But two months ago, Just prior to
the opening of the league season, few.
if any. could see a championship team
in the Yale material. Eli had finished
in last place for two consecutive
years. and the prospects for the up-
preaching season appeared hopeless.
Joe Fogarty came down from West
Philadelphia. where ‘he had been as-
sisting. Eddie McNichol with the
University of Pennsylvania teams. to
take over the coaching.» He told
friends that Yale would have a poor
team. and the undergraduates about
New Haven were of the same opinion.
Basketball was the black sheep of the
family. \
The spirit shown by the members of
the squad was encouraging. Fogarty
induced Sam Pltc to come out for the
team and then developed a good team-
mate for him in the forward line out
of Eddie Sulsman. Suisman formerly
played at Pcddic and had been a
member of the 1925 freshmen team, a
rather mediocre five.
Yale has two more giants to play
before the close of the season. Two
defeats will not change its status.
Jim Luther continues unmolcstcd
on his Way to the individual honors.
In two games of the past week he
scored only 14 points. The sickness of-
Tommy Cullen has removed his only
serious competitor.

CASE OF ROSSMAN—With CUT .—
Recent press dispatches carried the
announcement of the unconditional
release of Ralph "Pep" Young by the
‘Phlladclphla Athletics. And thus. no
doubt. passes another well-known
player from out the realm of major
league balldom.
The going of Young marks the pa2s~
ing of one of the smartest men in the
game. For Young was an intelligent
player, played “heads up" baseball.
in his prime was considered one of the
best second sackers in the majors.
"Pep" was a sterling fielder. being
sure on ground balls, and could cover
heaps of territory. He was also
especially adept in grabbing short
outfield files as well as tagging run-
ners coming into the bag. “While not
much of a batter. he was neverthe-
i685 a hard man to pitch to. drawing
many passes. And in the lead-off
position. especially while with the
Detroit Tigers. he brought in many
runs by his ability to "wait 'em out."
But Young had a jinx. He dc-
vcioped it a couple of years ago while
keystoning for Detroit. I-Ils arm‘sud-
denly went wrong. and try as he
might he couldn't make the short toss
to first base with any degree of ac—
curacy.
Time after time he would make a.
sensational stop only to follow it with
awcird throw to the cushion. His
whip seemed to become paralyzed
