Crimson Third Place Team In Ivy League Basketball

Cornell Top Five; Indians In Second

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The only game played in the Eastern intercollegiate Basketball League during the past week served to break the first place tie and to put the Dartmouth Indians, for the second time in a month, in the role of the pursuer.

Another Cornell triumph over Yale this season, scored at Ithaca Saturday night by a 51-to-34 margin, gave the Big Red its third win in four starts, while the idle Hanover team has taken two of three. The important point, however, is that the champions are even with the pace-setters in the lost column.

Saturday's victory came easily to Cornell, Sam Hunter and Bill Stewart each scoring 15 points to set a pace that was always too fast for the Blue. Tom Vogt bagged 10 for the losers, but Bud Jearney of the Elis, who tallied 20 when the teams met at New Haven earlier this month, was held scoreless.

The individual scoring picture was changed somewhat, although Munroe and Olsen of Dartmouth still are running one-two in this department. Two Cornellians are tied for third, George Bouton and Bill Stewart having 35 points apiece to their credit after four games. Yale's ace, Tom Vogt, who rang in 26 in a non-league game against Brown during the week is next in line with 30.

Chuck Viguers, Pennsylvania's sixfoot-four center, accomplished the rather neat trick of moving upwards without taking part in a league game. A correction in the official score sheet from Hanover credits him with six additional points in the Dartmouth-Penn game, sending his season's total to 29.

Viguers Sparks Quaker Biltz

Incidentally, in the only non-league contest played on Saturday by a member of the circuit, Viguers collected 14 points to lead the Quakers to their first triumph over the Navy in four years. Lon Jourdet's entry has a season's mark of four out of five so far and seems definitely to have a one-way ticket away from the cellar spot.

Only one contest is listed for the coming week put it will bring the last team in the league into action. Princeton entertaining Yale on Saturday, will have an opportunity to start off at the top by trimming the Elis, for all of the other six entries have at least one defeat on their records.

The Tigers will probably start forwards Dewey Bartlet and Jack Munda, Dick Mayo at center and George Lawry and Captain Ed Lloyd in the guard posts. A warm-up contest with Fort Dix is billed for Wednesday. TEAM STANDINGS W  L Cornell  3  1 Dartmouth  2  1 Harvard  1  1 Pennsylvania  1  1 Yale  1  3 Columbia  0  1 Princeton  0  0
