Standing of the Tean w. Pennsylvania 7 Princeton Cornell Yale Dartmouth Columbia Not until basketball game is decided at on Thursday night will the Intercol- legiate league champion for 1916 be known. With Pennsylvania and Princeton deadlocked in a tie for first place, and each scheduled to face Cornell five on the floor at Ithaca in the next four da; thi; final week of the league race is des- tined to be the most sensational of the ser Pennsylvania meets Cornell to- night, and only by defeating the Ith- acans can the Red and Blue be cer- tain of holding first place. TIf Prince- ton should duplicate the feat on Thursday the end would find Prince ton and Pennsylvania tied for the title. However, should Cornell break even, to the team that triumphed over the Ithaca five would go the championship. On the other hand, it is by no means uncertain that Cor- nell, playing on its home floor, will not be able to trounce hoth contend- ers, and in that event there would be three-cornered tie for the title, with Pennsylvania, Princeton and Cornell as the joint holder This latter possibility is considered so probable {hat the league officials are already planning arrangements for a play-off serie: Dartmouth’s unexpected victory over Cornell on Tuesday last is re- sponsible for this twist in the league standing. The Green team took a long time to get started, but once it began to go, each game saw a big improvement, and Cornell paid the penalty for holding it too lightly in the return engagement. Princeton had little trouble in defeating Yale and Cornell was able to improve its rating slightly by administering a crushing blow to the hapless Colum- bia team. Aside from the Cornell- Pennsylvania-Princeton series weelk, the only other game on card is the Yale-Columbia clash New Haven on Wednesday, on which nothing depends. ISven a miracle could not pull Columbia out of the cellar now. 625 Add 3 300 2 1 111 Princeton-Cornell 14 3 the RRAPINS WILL SUE. 6.—President 3altimore, March arroll W.
