Crimson Five Traps Bengal In Lair, 50-40

Hoopsters Cop First Victory In Ivy League Play, Revenge January Defeat by Nassau

By William S. Fairfield

Coach Bill Barclay was right. His Varsity five looked hot trimming Princeton's vaunted basketeers 50 to 40 before 3000 Tiger-happy fans at Baker Rink Saturday night, chalking up their first Ivy League victory of the season.

The final victory margin was the same as that by which Princeton defeated the Crimson, 55 to 45, last month in the Boston Garden.

Establishing a 22 to 5 lead by the end of the first quarter, the Crimson apparently was willing to rest on its laurels for the rest of the game, although never allowing the Tigers inside a ten-point margin.

Mariaschin Shackles Lawry

With Captain Saul Mariaschin ably holding down the Orange and Black's scoring ace George Lawry to nine markers, Barclay employed a special shifting man-to-man defense to hamper the Princeton attack.

Little Bill Brady, whose lay-up shots were instrumental in the Crimson's early advantage, drew the starting assignment against Lawry, but was shifted after racking up four fouls in the first period.

From the first nine seconds, when Brady opened the scoring, the Varsity was never headed, as Barclay's entire 11-man traveling squad saw action.

Highest scoring average of the campaign, and amazing .396, was set by the Varsity quintet as 21 of 53 attempted HARVARD (50)   G  F  P Page,  4  1  9 Davis  0  1  1 Noble  1  0  2 Mariaschin, lf  4  0  8 Hauptfuhrer, c  3  2  8 Nelson  0  0  0 Brady, rg  3  2  8 Henry  3  1  7 Harford  1  0  2 Gannon, lg  0  1  1 McGiffert  2  0  4   21  8  50

shots from the floor dropped through the net. Closely guarded by Barelay's defense, the Tigers were able to sink only 14 of 55 attempts, for a .254 average.
