Not an excellent team, but a good one. Alan, the Ivy League this year has several excellent teams, and Harvard has yet to play say of them. Pennsylvania for some reason lost to Cornell last week, but remains the top contender for the championship. The Quakers are led by captain John Wideman, a Rhodes Scholar, and Bob Purdy, both of whom were All-Ivy second team selections last season. Wideman plays the back court with senior Sid Amirs and junior Ray Caruso, who has been the leading scorer of late. Eight of Penn's 12 lettermen are in the front court, and in addition to Purdy, who finished seventh in league scoring last season, the top returnees are J.D. Graham, Dave Robinson, and Jeff Sturm.

Penn's chief threat should come from New Haven, last year champions, but the Yalies suffered severe blow when star junior Rick Kaminsky broke is hand Kaminsky also a second time All-Ivy player last season, will properly miss a few games when the schedule resumes in February, Meanwhile, the Yalies will have to depend on Denny Lynch, one of the smoothest guards in the league, 6 ft., 8 in, Stove Goulding and Dave Schumacher.

Cornell Wine Two

Cornell, after losing to the Crimson, stunned everyone by defeating both Penn and Princeton last weekend, but cannot be rated a serious threat, yet. Columbia is rebuilding, but has the league's second best sophomore in Neil Farber, and will probably to fighting for a first-division berth. Dartmouth has Steve Spahb, league scoring champion, but little else, and Brown has only one commendable player (besides Pembroke), 6 ft. 7 in. captain Gene Barth.

One word must be said about Princeton and the much heralded Bill Bradley. The Tigers have last two of five games, mainly because with the exception of Bradley and backcourt man Art Hyland, they are pitiful. But Bradley, the sophomore from St. Louis who had his picture in Sports Illustrated (and we all know how great that is) has not disappointed say of the pundits who predicted he would be the greatest Ivy player since Rudy Laruase exchanged his Dartmouth uniform for one reading "Lakers."

Princeton will be here February 33. Don't miss Bradley. And you might try seeing the Crimson in action even if you don't have a roommate or boyfriend on the team. They have all sorts of great things now: a new scoreboard, a new P.A. system, and a new basketball team
