MANY UPSETS IN |ress avorizg arric COURT CONTESTS |~ oF “ur" T i | Surgeon-General Cumming Says Undeleatod Teams Among GOl store severe vmitcmic ssa FLASHEE OF LIFE: PRISONER NETS $7,000 IN YEAR AS WRITER Columbus, 0. — John L. Murphy, who is serving a sentence in state prison for burglary ,is credited with having made $7,000 last year by writing fiction. His sentence has leges to Be Few This Season ! New York, Dec. 28 (P—Undefeat- ©d teams were few when the foor- ball season came to a close but they will be even scarcer in intercollegt ate basketball if upscts continue to take as heavy a toll as they have in the early season gam The carnage is most appalling among the proud teams offthe cast- ern intercollegiate league. For the first time in memory every one of its six members have bowed in de- feat in December and the opening of the league season " Jan, 5 will tind not a single one with an un- | spotted record. | Except for the reverses of the University of Pennsylvania in suc- | cessive battles with three | Conference teams on a middle west- ern trip, a number of contributing causes might he advanced for the ! strikingly unusual situation which finds Princeton beaten by Dickin- son, Cornell by Rochester, Columbian by Army and New York Universit Yale by Providence and Fordhan Dartmouth by St. Thomas and Penn by Indiaia, Ohio State and Michi- | gan. The natural assumption the standard of play among is that the “Big 8ix" is lower than usual this| g season, but by the same token it seems clear that basketball excel- lence this year is distributed over wire area and that the smaller col- leges have about as good a chance as the large ones. A victory for Dickinson over Princeton in foctball would be an unheard of thing but in basketball it is well within the realm of pos- sibility as the little Pennsylvanta college showed to the tune of 27 to 12. Another point is that the small- er colleges are on their metile when they encounter teams of the league This applies also to such major In- stitutions as the Army, New York University and Fordham, which | would logically be included in | conference organization were there one more extensive than that now in existence. On the other hand the “Big Six" | teams seldom begin hitting on all | cylinders until their league season | gets under way. The month of De- | cember is devoted to the juggling of lineups to develop the strongest pos- sible combinations for the title chase. With something of the attitude of Yale toward the football games with Harvard and Princeton the league members are not o much concerned with what takes place in prelimin- ary competition, although, of course, there was plenty of incentive for Penn on its western trip and for Columbia in its games with Army and N. Y. U. With the early season results at hand the Eastern league shapes up as anybody's ra strength of the teams as reflected by their showings against non-leagie opposition at least seems unusually uniform and if it were necessary to make a prediction one might do worse than name Penn, Princeton and Columbia for the first flight with Yale, Dartmouth and Cornell in the second division. At least that about the way their records rate to date. Penn should be a favorite over Yale when they meet at the Palestra in Philadelphia Jan. § in the opening game, unless further un- expected occurrences take place to change the outlook. Not all the earl yseason bumps are over for the league teams as & few more games with outside opponents remain. Princeton has about as hard an assignment as any | of them, meeting City College of | New York on Saturday, N. Y. Monday, Fordham on Wedn and Army the following Saturday. is Mexico to Negotiate For Damages Incurred Mexico City, Dec. 28 (P—A law has been passed authoriz < dent Portes Gil to neg forelgn governments for aggregate settlaments covering all claims ef their nationals against the Mextean government for revolutionary dam- ages.
