The Unimaks won a don- neybrook, 2 to 1. The winners cop- ped the initial game, 487 to 404, but, with Henning rolling 235, the Dukes rallied to tie things up with a 514-425 tally. However, the final game went to the 532 to 428. The Zarembos, after taking the first game, couldn't hold their lead, so dropped a 2-to-1 decision to the Chichagofs. The other match of the evening went to the Douglas club over the Kodiaks, 2 to 1. Tonight, because of the Fire- men’s Ball and Lincoln’s Birthday, there will be no bowling. In fact, because of the Elks lodge meeting tomorrow night, there will be no pin activity until Thursday night.

And because you've got to be a winner to wow 'em in that bright- light area the entrepreneurs of col- lege basketball on a hippodrome scale arranged for New York uni- versity’s all-conquering team to help put consistent capacity crowds in Madison Square garden. Great basketball teams are, of course, nothing new to N. Y. U. City College of New York and a few others hereabouts, but until the current season brought the Violet into battle with such sturdy intersectional foes as Notre Dame and Kentucky, hinterlanders were prone to laugh off any stray re- ports of the skill of these Gotham- trained goal diggers. Even now Coach Howard “Jake” Cann won't say that his current Violet outfit—with 16 straight wi last season and 11 in a row this winter—is the best he has had in his 12 seasons as basketball boss at University Heights. Violets Come Out of Hiding But midwestern-reared fans— who were inclined to think there wasn't any basketball could come up to that of the Big Ten and a ew of the midwestern “indepen- dents” such as Notre Dame, Butler (and maybe Pittsburgh of near east)—have revised their rat- ings a bit after seeing how the intersectional tests. Except for the famous 1919-1920 quintet—on which Cann played forward and earned all-American rating when it won the national A.AU. tournament at Atlanta—New York U’s basketball teams have in- dulged in little intersectional war- fare. However, the success, finan- cial as well as artistic, of the cur- rent season’s experiment indicates the Violets will bloom in consider- ably less seclusion from now on. Cann Scoffs At ‘Systems’ Cann, distinetly an “unbeliever” in systems and an outright scoffer at all manner of trick phrases for describing styles of offense or de- fensé, swears that his idea of win~ ning basketball consists merely of the “elimination of all errors.” That includes errors in passing, errors in receiving, failure to make ““logical” shots. In short, mental as well as physical misplays. He discourages dribbling except as a resource, to help a man break out of a jam, and his defense is, fundamentally, man to man. And he doesn’t mind admitting that his i material is good, too. ‘The material, incidentally, is al- most 100 per cent New York city- trained.

Sid Gross, forward and hook- shot specialist, and Willie Ruben- stein, guard and long-shooter, along with Klein are letter men held over om last season. Newcomers are Forward Len Maidman, Guard Milt Schulman and Terjesen. They seem to take turns having “on” nights. Gross and Klein are each just 6 feet tall, Rubenstein and Maid- man each one inch over, Schul- man 5-10—so that five averages texactly 6 feet. With Terjesen at center the Violets gain three inch- es on the tip off but he packs 27 en, -are in hails across the ' | fewer pounds than the husky Klein, who scales 202.

His career, beginning at the age of 13 when he played his first real polo, has been replete with action and adventure. At 16 he appeared in tournament play for the first time and helped his team win both the natlonal junior and senior championships at Narragansett Pier R. I. Just as a triumphant career of mallet swinging seemed o be un- folding ahead of the boy wonder, America entered the war and in- terrupted his efforts on the polo field.
