Dartmouth defeated Columbia the final minutes of a flercely con- tested basketball game in the Morn- ingside Heights gymnasium last night by a score of 26 to 20. After playing poorly in the first half and trailing, 13 to 6, Columbia pulled itself to- gether and, fighting a desperate up- hill battle, took the lead at 20 to 19 within five minutes of the end. Dart- mouth, however, came through with a rally in the last few minutes and scored seven points for the victory. It was the second defeat of Columbia by Dartmouth in three nights, the lo- cals being downed at Hanovér last Saturday, 40 to 25, in Dougzlas Baird, for two seasons an infielder on the team of the Pitts- burgh National League club, has be- ; come a holdout, according to a letter | received from him.
