In the first basketball game with Dartmouth at Hanover on Saturday, the University team was defeated by the score of 30 to 11. There will be another game with Dartmouth at Cambridge next Monday night.
In the first half, the University team played a very fast game, getting the jump on their opponents. Amberg scored first on a sensational shot from the middle of the floor, and was quickly followed by a clever score by Brooks. Dartmouth improved and managed to end the half ahead, with the score 10 to 6.
The second half was rather one-sided, but the good blocking of the University players, and the extraordinary speed and skill of the Dartmouth team, made the game an interesting one. The University team showed great weakness in throwing baskets, especially from free tries, scoring but five time out of a possible 17. Although handicapped by the loss of Captain Grebenstein, Dartmouth exhibited excellent team work and speed in the second half, when they scored nine goals from the floor, and two from fouls. This makes Dartmouth's twelfth consecutive victory. Score--Harvard, 11; Dartmouth, 30. Goals from floor--Lang 4, Schildmiller 3, Lane 2, Morrissey 2, Brady, Brooks 2, Amberg. Goals from fouls--Brady 6, Amberg 3, Broun 2. Fouls called on Dartmouth, 17: on Harvard, 12. Referce--Hehir of Worcester. Timer--Bolser. Time--20-minute halves.
