The Heyman and Lauder families made
large contributions to the college house
BY SETH ZWEIFLER
Senior Staff Writer
Two prominent Penn families are the lead donors to a new Hill Field college house, a project that
will break ground on Friday.
The University announced Thursday that Stephen and Barbara Heyman, along with members
of the Lauder family, have contributed substantially to the college house. Their specific donation
amounts are not being disclosed.
Penn President Amy Gutmann said last month
that the University has raised about $60 million so
far toward the new college house. The project will
cost an estimated $125 million overall. Construction on the college house, which is slated to open

The six-story office building
coming to the lot at 39th and
Walnut streets will be completed in March 2015.
At yesterday’s Facilities and
Campus Planning Committee of the Trustees meeting,
Penn administrators and Facilities and Real Estate Services outlined new details for
the building that will occupy
the space that used to be the
Philly Diner.
The building, which recently
received zoning approval from
the city, is a 29,500 squarefoot , $11. 9 m i l l ion project .
Construction is set to begin
in December and will finish
in March 2015, which is also
the expected occupancy date.

and the General Counsel are
relocating to the new building
because of the construction of
the Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and

will not contain retail options
when it f irst opens, hav ing
retail in the building remains
a possibility. In the future, as
more of f ice space becomes
available, some of the building could convert into retail

Scholars to celebrate sculptor Rodin
The Arthur Ross Gallery
will host a symposium
on Auguste Rodin’s
work this afternoon
BY TANNER FRANK
Contributing Writer
It’s not every day that students can take a break from
studying to see work by one of
history’s finest sculptors.
The Arthur Ross Gallery
— located in the Fisher Fine
Arts Library — is holding a
symposium on renowned 19th
century French sculptor Auguste Rodin today at 1 p.m.
The symposium will be the last
program held in the gallery
during its current exhibition
of works by Rodin. The exhibi-
tion, which opened in August
of this year and charges no admission fee, will run through
Dec. 22 for six days a week.
“Auguste Rodin was perhaps the most significant
sculptor since Michelangelo,”
said Lynn Marsden-Atlass,
director of the Arthur Ross
Gallery and one of the main
figures responsible for bringing the Rodin collection to
Penn.
Rodin was known for his
focus on capturing motion
in his sculptures and deconstructing forms of the human
body. Some of his most famous
pieces include “The Thinker”
and “The Burghers of Calais.”
The exhibition consists of 21
original bronze-casted statues
of varying sizes, and visitors
Editorial (215) 898-6585 • Business (215) 898-6581
can use their smartphones
to access an audio tour of the
gallery.
Twenty of the pieces were
lent to the gallery by the Iris &
B. Gerald Cantor Foundation
or by Iris Cantor herself, whom
Marsden-Atlass knows personally. “This was one of the
last opportunities to get Auguste Rodin at Penn, and we
snatched it,” Marsden-Atlass
said. The 21st statue, “Jean
D’Aire,” is owned by the Penn
Art Collection.
Marsden-Atlass hopes to
continue attracting students
to the gallery, encouraging “everyone to pop in, after a visit to
the Fisher Fine Arts Library
or between classes.”
She explained that the gallery’s relatively small size
means that students can
spend as much or as little time
as they like there while still
having access to world-class
pieces of art.
From 1 to 3 p.m. on weekends, trained Penn students
also act as docents to guide
visitors through the exhibition.
Today’s symposium will
consist of three talks, and prospective attendees are invited
to come at either 2 or 3 p.m. if
they cannot make the whole
event. While the entrance fee
is $25 for most visitors, students with a Penn I.D. can get
in for free. The symposium
will be moderated by Marsden-Atlass as well as assistant
professor of art history Andre

After logging in, they pick a location and then rate it on a variety of
metrics: cleanliness, light quality,
furniture quality, air quality and
temperature. The app collects and
summarizes this data and sends it
over to building administrators in
the form of graphs for each metric.
“The data [from GreenVote]
may then be used by facilities
managers to help make decisions
to optimize building energy efficiency. Increased building energy
efficiency supports the goals of
Penn’s Climate Action Plan,” Ken
Ogawa, FRES executive director
of operations and maintenance,
said in an email, pointing to that
as the importance of having data
on energy use.
“In the U.S. itself, about 60 percent of the energy used is because
of HVAC,” Wharton and Engineering sophomore and GreenVote

Celebration
of house to be
held on Friday
COLLEGE HOUSE from page A1
in the fall of 2016, will begin in
the coming months.
The project is Penn’s firstever residential building designed specifically as a college
house.
Most of the family members
are Penn alumni, and several
sit on the Board of Trustees.
The families will be recognized
at Friday’s celebration of the
college house’s groundbreaking, which follows a Board of
Trustees meeting.
Stephen Heyman, a 1959
Wharton graduate and emeritus trustee, said he had been
in talks with Gutmann about
giving to the new college house
since around 2008. He said donating to the college house was
a way to support the “bricks
and mortar” of the University’s
development moving forward.
“This was just a good opportunity to create fresh housing
for 350 undergraduates, and
it’s something that’s going to
serve many generations in the
future,” Heyman said.
Heyman has donated in the
past to several endowed professorships at Penn. In 2010,
he gave $5 million to create
the I. George Heyman Penn
Integrates Knowledge professorship, which is now held by
psychology and marketing professor Barbara Mellers.
The Lauder family — rep-
r e se nt e d b y t he L aud e r
Foundation, a philanthropic
organization — has also been
a prominent donor to the University. In 1983, Leonard and
Ronald Lauder founded Penn’s
Lauder Institute, a joint degree program that integrates
management education with
international studies.
Leonard and Ronald, 1954
and 1965 Wharton graduates,
respectively, will be among
the Lauder family members in
attendance at Friday’s groundbreaking.
The new college house,
which will hold around 350
students in suite-style rooms,
will also contain a new dining venue, seminar rooms, a
media center and a large multipurpose space. It will be built
around a central courtyard.
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson,
a Philadelphia-based design
firm, will be working on the
project.
The University has yet to
announce a formal naming
gift for the college house; Vice
President for Development
and Alumni Relations John
Zeller said last month that he
does not expect a naming gift
announcement to come this
semester.
Gutmann said in an interview that the Heymans and
Lauders “have made it possible for us to move fullsteam
ahead with this.”
“And we only move projects
full steam ahead when we get
the contributions necessary to
do so,” she said.
Friday’s celebration of the
new college house will begin
at 12:30 p.m. on Hill Field. It is
open to all PennCard holders.

The Lauder and Heyman families were announced as donors for the upcoming
college house on Hill Field. Its groundbreaking will be later this academic year.

In celebration of the 21st annual Asian Pacific American
Heritage Week , which starts
this Sunday, Asian-American
student groups across campus will come together for a
six-day series of events, including a talk by 2013 Miss
America Nina Davuluri.
The theme of this year’s
celebration is “The APAHW
Network,” with a focus on connecting students both inside
and out of the Asian-American community. A PA H W,
which has been in the works
since April, is jam-packed
with speaking events, work-

WE HAVE TAKEOUT!
For Tuesday’s event, the
organizers of APAHW have
collaborated with the Asian
American Studies Program to
host a TEDx-style discussion
at 7 p.m. in Bodek Lounge.
Professors will initiate conversations on issues relevant
to Penn’s Asian community —
touching on such subjects as
cultural and geographical divisions among Asian students,
meeting the expectations of
immigrant parents and the
current low enrollment in the
University’s Asian-American
Studies minor.
On Wednesday, Miss America Nina Davuluri will be delivering a talk, co-sponsored
by the South Asian Society.
Kedia explained that APAHW had initially struggled
with deciding on a keynote
speaker for the week, but after this year’s Miss America
competition and the resulting
controversy around its winner, they thought that Davuluri could attract a large and
diverse audience.
“One of the reasons [Davuluri] is so great is because she
represents not only the AsianPacific identity, but also the
American identity — so she
bridges that gap in our week’s
program,” Kedia said.
The Social Planning and
Events Committee is also
helping to fund and publicize Davuluri’s appearance
on campus, which will take
place in Ambani Auditorium
in Huntsman Hall at 7 p.m.
Ticket sales for the event
open this weekend.
Singer-song w r iter K ina
Grannis — who is half-Japanese — will be performing
a sold- out show in Bodek
Lounge on Thursday night.
A PA H W w i l l t hen host
three workshops on Friday.
The first — a collaboration
with the Penn Women’s Center — will cover sexual violence as it relates to Asian
Americans on college campuses. The next two will be a
student-led cooking tutorial
at the LGBT Center and a
slam poetry workshop with
New York-based poet Kilusan
Bautista, respectively.
Finally, the week will close
with an APAHW classic, Big
Asian — a pageant competition where nine different
Asian-Pacific interest groups
each nominate a candidate.
Each candidate w ill then
per for m special acts, answer questions and finally be
judged by a panel.
According to Wharton senior Paulo Bautista , one of
the APAHW programming
chairs, all proceeds from Big
Asian will benefit the winner’s charity of choice.
It’s not too early to start
looking for housing for
next school year!

ast week , T he
Daily Pennsylvanian ran “Surviving Silence,” a
four-part series
on sexual violence at Penn.
We applaud the DP’s excellent coverage of such an immensely important issue, but
we would like to call special
attention to one particular reality on campus: Most Penn
students are unfamiliar with
how to navigate the University’s disciplinary process.
We, the University Honor
Council, are a group of undergraduate students designated under the Student
Judicial Charter with a twopart mission: to help educate
students on university policy
and to sit as representatives
of the student body on university disciplinary hearings. In
light of the recent conversation on campus surrounding
sexual violence, we wish to
make Penn students aware
of their rights and options so
that they can navigate the
university’s disciplinary process if necessary.
If a student is a victim of
sexual assault , they a re
strongly urged to immediately find a safe space away
from the perpetrator, seek assistance from the Penn Police
and receive medical attention. At this point, students
may pursue legal action outside of the University through
civil or criminal means. Additionally, students have the option to initiate the university
disciplinary process, by filing
a complaint with the Office of
Student Conduct. When filing
a complaint with OSC, both
the complainant and the accused have the option of having an advisor to help them
through the process.
Once a compla int is
brought, OSC will investigate
and then either dismiss the
complaint (with the option for
the complainant to appeal) or
levy sanctions against the ac-
cused student. The accused
student can then accept or
appeal those sanctions. If the
accused student does appeal
the sanctions, there is a disciplinary hearing, adjudicated
by a panel comprised of two
faculty members and three
University Honor Council
members.
At Penn, the standard of
proof for a sexual misconduct
case is “preponderance of the
evidence,” which means that
it must be more likely than
not that the alleged violation occurred in order for the
panel to find the accused student responsible and impose
proper sanctions. If the standard of proof is not met, the
panel will not hold the student
responsible. However, both
parties involved in the hearing and OSC can appeal the
given sanctions or findings.
While the University disciplinary process can seem
complex, it is our hope to
provide all students with op-
portunities to understand the
university’s policies related
to these important issues.
To further this mission, we
provide educational presentations to all types of student
groups to educate students
about the university’s policies and additional resources
available at Penn.
If you individually, or if a
student group you are involved in is interested in this
information, please contact
us for more information at
universit yhonorcouncil@
gmail.com. Additionally, our
website — universityhonorcouncil.org — provides an
abundance of resources related to navigating the University disciplinary process.
We recognize that this is
an extremely sensitive topic
and hope that by further educating students about how
to navigate the university’s
policies relating to sexual
violence, we can make Penn
a safer and stronger campus
in the fight against sexual
violence.
E-Cigarettes: the new evil kid?
THE CASUAL OBSERVER | Promoting e-cigarettes as a potential solution to smoking may backfire
I
n case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new kid
on the block in the smoking world.
She has several nicknames: Blu, Skycig and Elites,
to name a few, though her real
name is electronic cigarette.
She claims to deliver the same
pleasure of conventional cigarettes without the harmful tar
and carcinogens, which historically have been the most notorious ingredients of cigarettes.
As the number of smokers
in the United States has decreased, sales of conventional
cigarettes in the nation have
been mostly stagnant or dwindling. But now, tobacco companies are turning their attention
to the e-cigarette market with
new products and acquisitions.
And it’s not just tobacco
companies that favor this new
product — some public health
advocates are just as excited
about e-cigarettes as young children are on Christmas morning. Those in favor of promoting
e-cigarette use believe that it
is better for a smoker to use an
e-cigarette rather than a conventional cigarette (otherwise
known as harm reduction) and
that e-cigarettes have the potential to act as cessation aids.
A recently published study in
“The Lancet” showed that ecigarettes had similar cessation rates to currently approved
nicotine patches.
Those with more cautious
views of e-cigarettes have lingering concerns about the lack
of standardized nicotine dosages, product quality and the safety of certain chemicals such as
propylene glycol. Currently, the
Food and Drug Administration
does not endorse e-cigarettes as
a safe nicotine delivery method
or as a cessation aid.
To declare e-cigarettes a
silver bullet to smoking simply
because it is the lesser of two
evils is to blatantly ignore the
lessons we have learned from
tobacco control. Research on
smoking has shown that visual
cues can stimulate cigarette
cravings, such as movies with
smokers, retail tobacco displays
and smoking-related pictures.
Even visual cues in antismoking ads have been linked
to stimulating cigarette cravings. Given that e-cigarette use
is nearly identical to conventional cigarette use, it would
not be surprising if the use of
e-cigarettes could cue current
smokers to smoke more or, even
worse, cause smokers who have
quit to relapse.
Furthermore, e-cigarettes
can be used indoors, which is
frequently promoted as an advantage by e-cigarette companies given that many states
ban indoor smoking. Existing
research on e-cigarette user
profiles shows that a large
reason people choose to use ecigarettes is to satisfy nicotine
cravings in smoking-restricted
areas — not to replace cigarettes entirely.
If this trend continues, does
this mean it is okay to renor-
malize smoking in places like
restaurants, schools and even
inside of homes until everyone
uses e-cigarettes inside and outside one day?
‘‘
Youth are particularly at risk [to e-cigarettes] because of
sneaky marketing
campaigns.”
The potential effect of this on
vulnerable populations, such as
children, is unknown, but it is
possible that they could become
desensitized to the concept of
smoking, whether it is an e-cigarette or conventional cigarette.
Youth are particularly at risk
because of sneaky marketing
campaigns. The tobacco industry has been wildly successful in
targeting youth with rebranded
tobacco products, especially
those that are smokeless, so it
would not be a surprise to see
them succeed with e-cigarettes
targeted at younger crowds.
As major tobacco companies
enter the e-cigarette arena, we
can expect an influx of marketing targeted at the younger demographic, such as a plethora
of tasty e-cigarette flavors and
eye-catching packaging.
Once youth and young adults
begin using or experimenting
with e-cigarettes, it is possible
that they could function as a
gateway drug to actual cigarette use, reversing efforts to
prevent youth and young adults
from smoking.
Clearly, more research is
needed on e-cigarettes to determine its impact on smokers
and non-smokers. For years,
tobacco control advocates
have worked to bury smoking
through increased regulations
on the tobacco industry, increased powers of the federal
government to oversee tobacco
products and increased policies
to reduce public smoking.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
F
things: First, trying to prove
that G-d does not exist is impossible. Religion is not based
on rationality (belief implies a
certain level of irrationality)
and trying to “out-reason”
religion betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the
concept. Second, it is never
acceptable to force a viewpoint on another individual.
Personal autonomy is something every member of a functioning society must learn to
respect.
The Penn Secular Society’s
mission statement is as follows:
“The Penn Secular Society
aims to foster community
among the irreligious, provide a haven wherein members may discuss religion and
related issues and encourage
the Penn community to think
critically about their beliefs.”
That is beautiful. The secular students on campus de-
Even though e-cigarettes are
relatively healthier than are
cigarettes, the social and behavioral safety of e-cigarettes
is equally as important.
As institutions, companies
and states consider smoking
bans, it’s easy to brush aside ecigarettes as harmless. But if
we don’t consider e–cigarettes
as a potential threat now, years
of work to denormalize smoking
could be undone.

There is nothing wrong

Merriam-Webster dictionary
defines it, secularism is “the
belief that religion should not
play a role in government, education, or other public parts
of society.” A society free of
religious bias is a noble goal.
The Penn Secular Society,
however, does not concern itself with discussing secularism and its place in society.
No, the Penn Secular Society
devotes its time (and banner
space) to trying to prove that
G-d does not exist.
The Penn Secular Society

serve a community of their
own, and every religious student should be encouraged to
think critically about his or
her beliefs. What I am struggling with, and from whence
the rationale for this piece
comes, is where in that mission statement does it advocate tearing down any belief
you don’t ascribe to and stepping all over it?
Proselytizing in general is
obnoxious and necessitates
a certain amount of disrespect for others, but at least
other evangelical organizations have a reason for being
disrespectful. Evangelical
Christians, for example, believe they have a duty to save
non-believers from eternal
damnation.
The Penn Secular Society,
however, has no such reason.
The Penn Secular Society
wants everyone to stop believing in G-d because, well,
because they don’t believe
in G-d. If the Penn Secular
Society believes something,
everyone else has to believe
it, too … right?
Right now, the Penn Secular Society does nothing constructive and serves only to
offend religious students. It
can and should change its
message, as secularism has
a very necessary role in society — one that the Penn Secular Society is failing to play.
Show us where religion has
taken too strong a hold in the
government, discuss whether
or not Christmas should be
treated as a national holiday,
question the ethics of allowing religious students time to
pray in public school. Don’t
just stand on Locust and tell
us you think we’re stupid. We
got that.

more, I agree with you that
Penn Secular Society’s
poster is unnecessarily
provocative. It presents a
silly straw man of what it
means to be religious, and
it implies that we’ve never
realized that some verses
in our holy texts don’t jive
with our modern liberal
values. You probably found
that as condescending as
I did.
And yet, I beg of you,
please stop. You’re just
mak ing us look bad. I
would have hoped that
your religion would cultivate a love even for those
who disagree with you,

creator Arjun Jain said. “And it’s
used pretty inefficiently. If you
saved even 10 percent of that,
that’s the equivalent of 125 million cars running on the road
per year.”
Penn’s current heating and
cooling policy is to set one temperature for spring and another
for winter in each building, according to the GreenVote team.
The project began in September of 2012, at that year’s PennApps Hackathon. Jain and
fellow Wharton and Engineering sophomores Benedikt Lotter and Karan Hiremath, who
were self-described “noobs” in
the PennApps space, stumbled
on to their idea.
“It was really nice outside,
there was a good breeze and
everything. But inside it was
freezing,” Jain said of McClelland Hall where the Hackathon
was held. “And we thought, wow,
that’s pointless. We tried to find
the person to tell, but we couldn’t
find anyone.”
Their temperature frustrations led them to the idea of an
app that would allow people in
buildings to communicate with
building administrators to give
real-time feedback.
In the spring of 2013, they went
back to PennApps Hackathon
and created what they call version 2.0, which they then started
promoting to grant-giving agencies and building administrators.
That was when they were first
awarded their Green Fund grant.
FRES, who provided the grant
money, also urged GreenVote to
make the connections to building
administrators. In early September, the School of Engineering
and Applied Science Quad buildings — Towne, Moore, Levine
and Skirkanich Halls — signed
on to use the app
Users can still give feedback
for buildings that currently do
not use the app, but it “will only
be acted on in Moore and Towne
and such,” Jain added.
“Our next step is to get everyone on board,” Jain said. To
better market the app, the team
then reached out to the Undergraduate Assembly.
“Right now, we’re looking to
get some kind of critical mass
to get students to start using
GreenVote,” said UA representative and College junior Danielle
Golub, who is the point person for
collaboration with GreenVote.
Moving forward, the team
is bursting with ideas on how
to improve the app. They want
to see social integration in the
form of voting on other people’s
votes, communication between
building managers and student
voters and even better designs
for the app’s interface, among
many others.
The team is still pushing for
other buildings, like Huntsman
and Williams Hall, to incorporate
their app. “We have at least two
meetings every week with someone at Penn,” Jain said.
The group is also in talks with
Business Services about expanding the service to Penn dining
facilities.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN
Conservative magazine finds voice on campus
Magazine’s founders call
it the ‘only conservative or
right leaning’ publication
currently at Penn
BY ALEX ZIMMERMANN
Senior Staff Writer
In April, a handful of freshmen decided that they were
unhappy with the state of political discourse on campus.
Though Penn is home to various political groups, such as
College Republicans and Penn
Democrats and publications
such as the Penn Political Review, they felt their perspectives were not being heard.
They ’re conser vatives
— who can seem elusive on
a campus where nearly 80
percent voted for Democrat
Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney in 2012 —
and wanted a new forum to
express their opinions.
So the group, including College sophomore Aidan McConnell, Engineering sophomore
Dillon Weber and College and
Wharton sophomore Nick Zarra, started The Statesman,
which they called “the only
conservative or right-leaning
publication at the University
of Pennsylvania.”
“We’re really trying to provide a platform for the variability of conservative viewpoints
to come out of the woodwork,”
McConnell said.
Over the summer, the group
met over Skype to construct
a small pamphlet that they
would distribute at the start of
the year. They also reached out
to conservative publications
at peer schools, including the
Princeton Tory and Harvard
Salient. They also made contact with conservative think
tanks, some of which offered
support ranging from logistical support to funding. Sev-
eral members are travelling
to Princeton to discuss their
progress with the Tory later
this month.
“Even though we come from
different schools, being that
we’re all generally conservative people in a minority in an
Ivy League school, that brings
us together,” Zarra said.
T he newly- f or me d T he
Statesman also reached out to
alumni who might be interested in purchasing a subscription or otherwise supporting
the publication and incoming
freshman interested in joining,
including College freshman
Ben Fogel.
“We want to touch on the bigger issues,” Fogel said. “But as
well as touching on the bigger
issues, we want to touch on
something that is relevant to
your average Penn student or
your average Philadelphian.”
Amanda Suarez/News Photo Editor
The magazine’s first issue,
which was released last week, Conservative magazine The Statesman just began publication on campus.
It has funding and logistical support from several conservative think tanks.

man serves as a forum for a
conservative viewpoint that
often gets downplayed at Penn.
“You don’t learn anything
from an echo chamber, which
Penn can tend to become, with
a lot of liberal ideas,” he said.
The group hopes to publish six issues per academic
year, Zarra said. Magazines
will be free for students, and
the group will even personally
deliver issues to student mailboxes on request.
The group plans to finance
its work strictly from alumni,
outside organizations and subscriptions, without asking for
funding from the Student Activities Council if the moratorium is lifted. They also hope to
expand their reach on campus,
starting with an event with
former mayoral and gubernatorial candidate Sam Katz
next month for which they will
partner with the Government

To that end, The Statesman’s staff is recruiting writers and submissions from
across the right-leaning political spectrum.
“There’s no litmus test for
joining The Statesman,” Weber added. “We aren’t accusing
people of being ‘Republicans in
name only.’”
Zarra added that while the
publication calls itself conservative, it won’t refuse a submission simply because it is
not conservative enough.

President forms new committee in wake of NYPD protest
Christina Paxson, Brown’s president, announced this week that she
is forming a committee to review a controversial October protest
that led to the cancellation of a campus lecture by New York City
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
The university's “Committee on the Events of Oct. 29” will
determine whether the student protesters should face disciplinary
action. The protesters had been voicing their opposition to the
New York Police Department’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” policy,
which a federal court declared unconstitutional earlier this year.
The committee's formation, Paxson wrote in a campus-wide email
this week, underscores the university's “deep commitment to the
free exchange of ideas.”

More than 650 students have signed a petition demanding more

Students are calling upon the New York university to begin
disclosing how many students are found responsible of sexual
misconduct annually, and how they were punished.
While the federal Clery Act requires institutions to reveal how
many sex offenses are reported on campus, it does not require
them to disclose whether those offenses led to an investigation or
a punishment. The students, led by the Columbia Democrats, are
calling for more disclosure, beyond the Clery requirements.

PENN (4-3, 3-1)
SATURDAY, NOON | FRANKLIN FIELD
A RIVALRY RENEWED
FOOTBALL | After a loss to Brown last weekend,
Penn faces Princeton with its season on the line
BY IAN WENIK
Sports Editor
137 years. That’s how long
it’s been since Penn and
Princeton began playing each
other in football. Plenty has
changed since 1876.
T wo World Wa r s were
fought. A superpower rose
and fell in the East. Revolutions occurred in technology
and medicine.
Through it all, at least one
thing has remained constant:
the Quakers and Tigers have
loathed each other.
Now, with everything on the
line, Princeton returns for a
battle that may have more
meaning than any of the 104
before it.
S at u r d ay, a r esu r gent
Princeton (6-1, 4-0 Ivy) squad
comes to Franklin Field to
take on the Quakers (4-3, 3-1)
in a Homecoming duel that
will make or break the Red
and Blue’s hopes of winning
an unprecedented fourth Ivy
title in five years.
Though Penn has tamed
the Tigers in 14 of their last 16
contests, the Princeton team
that will walk into Franklin
Field will have a radically different look than the team that
got humiliated, 37-9, the last
time it visited the Quakers.
On offense, Princeton has
had a revelation under center,
as junior quarterback Quinn
Epperly has suddenly become
one of the most accurate passers in the FCS.
In a 53-20 humiliation of
Cornell on Saturday, Epperly
completed his first 29 passes
of the afternoon, setting a Division I record and earning
himself airtime on Sportscenter.
But scoring in bunches has
been nothing new for the Tigers, who have put up at least
50 points on the scoreboard
four times this season and
average 544.3 yards of total
offense per game.
“I don’t think I’ve been on
a team this hot and putting
up points the way our offense
has,” Epperly said. “It has
been exciting to be a part of.”
Defensively, Princeton has
been just as fearsome.
The Tigers sacked Cornell
quarterback Jeff Mathews
seven times last weekend
to add to their Ivy Leagueleading total, spearheaded
by fearsome defensive tackle
Caraun Reid.
A second-team All-American last season, Reid has
been the emotional leader of
the Tigers and has still managed to tally 2.5 sacks despite
being double a nd tr iple teamed on nearly every play.
“Vocal leadership is probably the biggest area where
Caraun has improved,” Princeton coach Bob Surace said.
“His growth as a leader has

Temple
0-0
Saturday,
5 p.m.
The Palestra
Penn was in position to win it — its first Big 5
victory in a year, coming against Temple on the
Owls’ own home floor.
With a 52-45 lead and 11:05 left to go at the Liacouras Center, the Quakers looked primed to end
their Big 5 drought.
Then Khalif Wyatt happened.
Wyatt exploded for 14 points in the last 11 minutes of the contest to end Penn’s hopes. The Quakers ultimately lost, 76-69.
But now, Wyatt has graduated, while Penn’s core
is intact — and the Quakers are hungry.
“We have a chance to come out with a bang,”
sophomore Darien Nelson-Henry said. “We went
0-4 in the Big 5 last year. And now we can get one
big win to start the season and set the tone for the
rest of the year.”
The tone the Red and Blue hope to set is a quick
one.
“Coach doesn’t really care who brings the ball
up, whether that be me or [senior Miles Cartwright]," sophomore Tony Hicks said. “We want to
play a lot more in transition this year.”
Wanting to up the tempo is a logical move for the
Quakers. Both Cartwright and Hicks are fantastic
athletes that work best in transition, and other distributors — junior Camryn Crocker and freshman
Tony Bagtas — have great court vision as well.
The shift in offensive philosophy follows Hicks’
breakout Ivy performance last season, where he
showed his ability to take over as the main producer for weekends at a time.

If Penn wants to take down Temple in its season opener on Saturday, it will need a big showing from senior
guard Miles Cartwright. Last year against the Owls, Cartwright poured in 21 points on 6-for-14 shooting.
For Penn field hockey, it’s simple, really.
A win means a future. It means knocking off the
defending national champions en route to the Ivy
League crown and an NCAA Tournament berth. It
means all the hard work was worth it.
Lose and that’s it. That’s it for a historic season
full of breakout stars, unbelievable finishes and
program records. That’s it for the first season of
play at Ellen Vagelos field, and that’s it for Penn’s
four seniors’ careers.
Saturday at noon, Penn (13-3, 5-1 Ivy) takes on
No. 9 Princeton in the de facto Ivy League Championship game in which the winner takes the crown.
Plenty has changed since the Tigers (12-4, 6-0)
thumped the Quakers to end the 2012 season.
The Red and Blue are a far more dynamic offense than they’ve been in recent history, improving their goals per game average by 1.03 thanks
in large part to a strong recruiting class led by
freshman attacks Jasmine Cole and Elise Tilton,
as well as the emergence of junior Emily Corcoran.
But they are also a much more capable defense.
Carly Sokach is 11th in the country in save percentage and after allowing nearly three goals per game
last year, the goalie now holds opposing offenses
to under two.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN
THE BUZZ: BEHIND ENEMY LINES
Princeton junior quarterback Quinn Epperly
BY IAN WENIK
From The Daily Pennsylvanian’s THE BUZZ
Before this season,
Princeton was picked
to f inish f if th in the Ivy
League standings. But
the Tigers have surprised
everyone, reeling off four
wins to begin Ancient Eight
play. They sit in sole possession of f irst pl ace in
the Ivies and junior quarterback Quinn Epperly is
the talk of the conference,
having set an FCS record
by completing his first 29
passes in a 53-20 win over
Cornell. Thanks in large
part to Epperly’s play, the
Tige rs al so lead the Ivy
League in points per game
and scoring offense. We go
behind enemy lines with
the talented signal-caller.
Da ily Pennsylva nia n:
You’ve won si x games in
a row in almost every way
possible, from blowouts to
he a r t- st oppi ng f i n ishes.
Have you ever been a part
of a team this hot?
Quinn Epperly: I don’t
think I’ve been on a team
that is this hot and putting
up points the way our offense has. It has been exciting to be a part of.
DP: Princeton has lost
six games in a row to Penn,
a streak that dates back
well before you first stepped
on campus. How important
is ending that streak to you
and your teammates?
QE: Winning this week
is everything. I don’t think
we will be as focused on the
streak as much as just trying to get an important win
for this season. To accomplish the goal of winning an
Ivy League championship,
we need to win out, and that

Red and Blue return to court after breakout season
W. HOOPS | Quakers
take on St. Francis
(NY) in rematch of a
thriller from a year ago
BY JIMMY LENGYEL
Associate Sports Editor
St. Francis (NY)
0-0
Saturday,
2 p.m.
The Palestra
Last year, Penn women’s
basketball surprised opponents on the way to an 18-13
record. This year, the Red
and Blue won’t be sneaking
up on anyone.
On Saturday, one of the
upstart programs in the Ivy
League will return to the
court as the Quakers take on
the St. Francis (NY) Terriers
to tip off their season.
Penn brings back an almost identical squad from
last year’s third-place Iv y
team to take on the Terriers, who have a 0-8 overall
record against Penn, including last year’s dramatic contest where the Red and Blue
edged out St. Francis, 61-60.
Last year, Penn stumbled
out of the gate, losing its
first three games and had
trouble finding consistency.
This year ’s Quakers have
a few changes in personnel
to begin with, including the
one-month loss of sophomore
Keiera Ray.
But Penn’s other eight letterwinners will hold nothing
back in the home opener to
get their season kick-started. Penn’s experience on the
floor will certainly be one of
their biggest X-factors moving forward.
“It should be huge. It’s the
f irst time since I’ve been
here that we have a balance.
Hopefully that will benefit
[us],” fifth-year head coach
Mike McLaughlin said. “Any
team at any time can come
in to beat people at this level.
I hope that that experience
carries over not from just
the first day but through the
whole season.”
Mor e i mp or t a nt l y,
McLaughlin will need to contain the excitement of Penn’s
new additions, something the
coach doesn’t view as a bad
quality, but something to be
watched all the same.
“You know, the excitement
is what you expect. I’ll just remind them they’ve prepared
just as hard as anyone … We
think we’re prepared, we
think we are in the best shape
at this point,” McLaughlin
said.
“The excitement is gonna
be there, and that’s what it’s
about. It’s why you play this
sport.”
If this Saturday’s game is
anything like the matchup
from last year, it should be
plenty entertaining for the
fans in attendance on Homecoming Weekend.
Last year, the Red and Blue
overcame their largest deficit
in school history, capped off
by then-junior Alyssa Baron’s layup with 6.4 seconds
left. The Quakers went on a
remarkable 22-3 run, scoring
the final 15 points, to notch a
tough road win.
“They outplayed us for the
first 33 minutes of the game.
They controlled the pace, the
tempo. We were really fortunate enough to make plays at
the end,” McLaughlin said.
“The start of this is gonna be
really important for us going
forward.”
With St. Francis coming
into the Palestra, the Red and
Blue will still be working out
the kinks in their offense. But
while Penn may not be firing
on all cylinders against the
Terriers, as the season progresses, more schemes, sets
and plays will make their way
into the gameplan.
“I think it is more important they are comfortable
with what we have. This is
all about them. It’s not how
many plays, sets, I can put
in,” McLaughlin said. “If they
are comfortable then I’ll put

more stuff in. We will add as
we go. It’s not a rush to get Sophomore guard Keiera Ray will miss the first month of Penn women’s basketball’s

“We can get a lot of easy bas-

While Hicks, Cartwright
and the other guards fit into
that style quite well, the big
men are left behind.
Both senior Fran Dougherty and Nelson-Henry have
been putting in extra time in

“He’s been working really
hard at picking his wind up,”
Nelson-Henry said of his frontcourt mate.

pions.”
Penn’s ability to aim for
Harvard comes from having a
stable core return this season.
While last year, Allen had
to often rely on freshmen —
Hicks started the first three
games last season — this year,
the group is different.
Freshmen Tony Bagtas and
Dylan Jones, among others,
will be in Allen’s rotation, but
he doesn’t need to rely on them
early.
“The beauty of it is that [for]
the large part of the freshman
class, I don’t think we’ll have
to depend on them right away,
as opposed to last year where
we started three freshmen,”
Allen said.
Overall, the Red and Blue
have had a renewed energy
since returning from Italy and
starting fall practices.
“They have a different pop
about them,” Allen said.
And that’s why the Quakers
may be primed for their first
Big 5 win since defeating St.
Joe’s on Jan. 21, 2012. While
Penn has all its pieces in the
right place, Temple has many
question marks following Khalif Wyatt’s graduation.
“I think we’re still an unk now n product,” Temple
coach Fran Dunphy said.
“We’re going to have to have
games like this on Saturday
to let us know where we are.”
In addition to Wyatt, Temple
also lost the likes of Scootie
Randall, Jake O’Brien and
Rahlir-Holis Jefferson. Combined, those players accounted
for 54 percent of Temple’s offensive production last season.
With all of those factors
combined, Penn may have
its best chance to take down
Temple since 2006-07.
And a part of that extra pop
around the Palestra these
days comes from Penn getting
to start off against a Big 5 foe.
“We’re really excited, like
right now,” Hicks said. “It’ll be
a sellout crowd, Big 5. It means
a lot.”

Freshman attack Jasmine Cole has been a major reason for Penn’s success in
the 2013 season, notching 18 goals and three assists this year.

experience
FIELD HOCKEY from page B1
Yet there is nothing more
Princeton would like than to
crush the Cinderella story unfolding in Philadelphia. They
may have more losses than
the Red and Blue, but all four
have come against nationally
ranked teams, three of which
were in the top five. They’ve
also been outscoring opponents in Ivy League play by
nearly four goals per game.
But what stood out to Fink
while watching game film of
Princeton was, far more than
any specific player or offensive scheme, how the opposing
team crumbled in the presence of the mighty Tigers.
“Princeton is a good team,
but these other teams were
beating themselves before
[ P r i n c e t o n] e v e n h a d a
chance to,” Fink said. “They
were either intimidated or
tried to be too perfect and
that’s just not the way to
beat them.”
T hat’s not t o say she’s
oblivious to the talent of the
Tigers. She’s not. Princeton
has an incredibly balanced
att ack a nd their nationa l
championship run last season gives them superior biggame experience.
“We need to work on our
cor ners a nd be ready for
their speed,” Fink said. “But
really, we need to just go out
and play our game without
getting caught up in all the
excitement.”
It’s a true underdog story,
but it’s been one in the making since summer practices.
All season, Fink has said the
team’s ultimate goal was to
make the last game of the
season mean something.
The st age is set . L ooking for just their second Ivy
League championship of the
2000s and playing their biggest rival on their brand new
field, the moment could not
be scripted any better for
the Quakers.
Time to see if this stor y
has a happy ending.

Penn looks to stay alive in tight Ivy title chase
M. SOCCER | Penn
and Princeton have
identical Ivy League
records, must avoid a loss
BY ALEXIS ZIEBELMAN
Associate Sports Editor
Princeton
6-8-1, 3-1-1 Ivy
Saturday,
4 p.m.
Rhodes Field
For the Penn men’s soccer
seniors, this weekend will be
deja vu to freshman year.
Saturday, the Quakers (68-1, 3-1-1 Ivy) take on rival
Princeton on Homecoming
Weekend in a must-win game
for a shot at the Ivy title on
senior night. What else could
you ask for?
“Looking back on the last
four years, it’s gone so fast
and it’s hard to believe for the
seniors that this is conceivably the last time we will be
playing on Rhodes Field,”
senior captain Ethan Jones
said. “The fact that it’s all coinciding with Homecoming is
fantastic also. It’s going to be
definitely exciting and probably pretty emotional for the
guys too.”
Jones believes that all of
these factors only add to the
Red and Blue’s advantage
over the Tigers (6-8-1, 3-1-1).
However, Princeton will still
be tough competition.
“Over the course of the
year, these two teams have
proven that they are two of
the top teams of the league,”
coach Rudy Fuller said. “It’s
obviously an important game
for both teams, and we are
hoping that we have a big
crowd there to support the
team.”
In the 2010 season, the
Quakers were in a similar position. They were undefeated
in the Ancient Eight heading
into the tail end of the season.
Despite losing to both Harvard and Princeton, the Red
and Blue advanced into the
NCA A tournament, defeating Bucknell before falling to
Maryland.
“We’ve kind of entered a single elimination tournament,”
Fuller said. “Our NCAA tournament starts Saturday, the
only way for us to win the Ivies
and the only way for us to get
into the NCAA tournament is
to win Saturday. That’s our approach.”
Princeton will be no easy
opponent. With a similar
schedule and an identical record, Saturday will be a game
between two evenly matched
teams.
“All signs are pointing to a
huge day … This whole week
in training we have just been
focused on ‘This is just the
next game,’” Jones said. “Last
week it was Brown, that was
the next game, and now this is
the next one. We’re not building it up more than it needs
to be.”
And the rivalry between the
Tigers and Quakers has even
closer ties to Fuller.
Princeton coach Jim Barlow roomed with Fuller when
they were assistant coaches
in D.C. for A merican and
Georgetown, respectively, and
have been good friends since.
“It’s great to have a rivalry
that’s so intense but with a
lot of respect on both sides,”
Fuller said.
In addition, Barlow’s brother played soccer at Penn while
he was at Princeton, and his
wife played field hockey and
lacrosse at Penn.
And Barlow’s squad will
pose a formidable challenge.
“[ The Tigers] are ver y
strong technically and they
are going to want to play soccer,” Jones said. “We’ve been
able to break down teams
pretty well regardless of their
strengths, so really it’s going to come down to our approach.”
Fuller says that Princeton’s
greatest strength is its ability
to break teams down with possession. But there’s an easy
way to counteract that.
“It’s all about putting the
ball in the back of the net,”
Fuller said.
And that’s what Penn will
need to do to stay in contention.

Princeton without a chance
at an Ivy League title.
But the Quakers still have a
lot to play for: a home crowd,
visiting alumni, their graduating seniors, the opportunity
to slay an arch-rival and —
perhaps most importantly
— the possibility of playing
some more afterwards.
Enter ing their matchup
with the Tigers (7-5-4, 1-4-1
Ivy) — the last game of the
regular season — the Red
and Blue (11-1-4, 4-1-1) rank
43rd in the country in terms
of rating percentage index,
a gauge of a team’s win percentage in conjunction with
its strength of schedule.
Last weekend, Har vard
clinched the Ivy League title
outright and an automatic
bid to the NCAA tournament,
closing the door on Penn for
that avenue to the postseason. However, a victory over
the Tigers would very likely
pull Penn’s RPI ranking even
higher and push the Quakers into the conversation for
an at-large bid to the NCAA
tournament.
By contrast, a loss would
almost certainly eliminate
any chance of a postseason
berth. Coach Darren A m-

brose has no illusions about
this fact.
“We know we have to beat
Princeton in reality,” he said.
“Because we don’t have a top25 schedule … we can’t afford
error.”
L ast season, P r i nceton
easily captured the conference championship behind
the offensive wizardry of forward Jen Hoy, who logged 18
goals on the year.
But a year later, with Hoy
graduated, the Tigers have
struggled to find their footing, especially in conference
play.
That said, the matchup is
a dangerous one for Penn,
a squad that relies on shutting out its opponents and
scraping together a goal or
two. Despite its shabby record, Princeton’s offense has
shown signs of life, scoring
four goals against Cornell
last weekend.
Though Penn possesses
the strongest defense in the
conference, it has rarely been
able to score multiple goals in
a game, failing to do so in Ivy
League play this season. If
Princeton can sneak a couple
of goals past the Quakers, it
could spell doom for Penn’s
postseason hopes.
Taking place on Homecoming Weekend, the match will
also be Senior Night for the
team. The senior class of Ker-
ry Scalora, Kathryn Barth,
Laura Oliver, Brianna Rano
and Claire Walker has helped
spur the program to a 43-168 record over their Penn careers.
While the class of 2014 won
just one title in that span
(2010), the squad has been in
the running for a championship all four years.
“They’ve competed basically on four teams where
every team had something on
the line, and that’s rare nowadays,” Ambrose said. “We’re
always knocking on the door,
and they’ve been a huge part
of that.”
I t ’s u n c l e a r, h o w e v e r,
whether any result can put
the Red and Blue over the top
in the eyes of the NCAA selection committee at this point.
Only one Ivy League squad
has received an at-large bid
since 2006.
The Princeton matchup is
certainly the first bar Penn
must clear on its way to the
postseason, which is added
incentive for the Quakers to
prepare for Friday’s match.
But even without the chance
of a postseason berth, Ambrose wouldn’t be concerned
about his players showing up
to the game lacking motivation.
“It’s a game with Princeton
at home,” he said. “I mean,
what more do you want?”

Though Penn’s offensive
line struggled last weekend,
surrendering four sacks and
countless more pressures in a
27-0 loss to Brown, none of the
Quakers’ linemen are about to
back down from the challenge
that the likely NFL draftee
poses.
“ T her e’s no mon st er s
out there, there’s no crazy
people,” senior center Chris
Bush said. “If we play with focus and intensity and no mistakes, good things happen.”
Saturday’s loss to the Bears
is one that the Quakers would
like to forget. They surrendered a 93-yard touchdown

run on the game’s first play
from scrimmage, and it was
all downhill from there.
“It certainly wasn’t the
start that we were looking
for,” Penn coach Al Bagnoli
said. “It wasn’t the reaction
that we should have had, from
me on down.”
With the loss to Brown, the
situation for the Quakers has
become clear. A win would pull
Penn into a first-place tie with
the Tigers and likely Harvard
as well, while a second Ivy
defeat would create an insurmountable two-game deficit.
Though Penn’s of fense
struggled last week, getting
shut out for the first time
since 2011, some positive injury news could give the Red
and Blue a lift.
Despite leaving Saturday’s
game early with an apparent
leg injury, junior running back
Kyle Wilcox has been practicing fully and will be active on
Saturday.
Penn could also finally see

KEYS FOR PENN

Play well early. Teams
have continually come out
and punched Penn in the
mouth this year. Brown’s
early 93-yard touchdown run set
the tone in last weekend’s rout, and
Penn needs to play effectively early
on if it wants to beat the Tigers.

Penn will need a strong power running game, anchored by junior running back Kyle
Wilcox, to beat Princeton on Saturday. Wilcox has rushed for 352 yards this season.
quarterback Billy Ragone.
The captain has missed the
past two games with a hamstring injury, but has returned
to practice, with his status for
Saturday’s game being determined late this week.
If Ragone can’t go, senior

third consecutive start, with

though, Penn is in desperate
need of a victory, and there
may be no better opponent to
get back into the Ivy title hunt
against than the hated Tigers.
“It’s the proximity, it’s the
history, it’s the alumni,” Bagnoli said.
“It’s everything.”
Let Caraun Reid go to work.
The All-American defensive
tackle is a beast inside, and
if Princeton can shut down
Penn’s running game, it’ll be a long day
for the Red and Blue faithful.
Get the QB out of the pocket.
Be it Ragone or Becker in
the gun for Penn, keeping
the opposing QB out of the
pocket and running for his life will bode
well for the Tigers this coming weekend.

Chemistry is commonly
called the study of matter. But
for Penn basketball, chemistry
is more the study of change.
And after a 9-22 season, the
Red and Blue are back in the
lab as they try to cook up the
right formula for a winning
squad.
Since the Quakers didn’t
have any seniors in 2012-13,
Penn returns everyone from
last year’s squad and gets the
chance to bounce back as a
team.
“We were definitely disappointed with last season, but
we had to face adversity and
that helps us to get even better
than we were before,” junior
forward Henry Brooks said.
The 2012-13 Quakers were
also working with a whole new
group of assistant coaches.
With a year of experience under their belts, coach Jerome
Allen is confident that his staff
can get Penn where it needs to
go.
“Going into year two, we’re
not perfect, but we’re better
in terms of continuity from
where we were last year,” Allen said.
“[It’s] the same thing in life.
I’ve been married 15 years,
and I think I know my wife a lot
better today than I did in year
two or year five.”
And while Allen and his staff
are using the continuity to
their advantage, so are their
players.
After not living up to their
own expectations last season,
the Red and Blue upped their
focus level, working together
over the summer in Philadelphia to improve as a cohesive
unit.
“We hit the weight room
hard. That was one big thing
— we knew we had to get
stronger,” Brooks said. “Last
season, with us getting outrebounded a lot, we knew
we had to get stronger as a
team.”
After a summer working together on campus, the team
took a trip to Italy in August.
While the Quakers didn’t face
particularly difficult competition overseas, the Red and
Blue used the trip to grow
closer as a group.
“It was everything for us.
We came so close together,”
junior guard Camryn Crocker
said. “We were already a close
group, but there’s something
about being [outside the country] and being able to experience that together as a team.”
But outside of changing
team chemistry, the players
are also trying to balance the
components in each of their individual games.
“I definitely wanted to become more aggressive offensively knowing myself,
scouting myself, seeing how
teams play me,” Crocker
said. “They know I like to distribute the ball and kind of always look for the assist, so I
looked to develop my outside
shot more.”
And Crocker has already
been able to display that improved jumper, draining a
three in Penn’s Red and Blue
Scrimmage on Oct. 26.
Meanwhile, Brooks is looking to better his own game,
trying to limit the foul trouble
that consistently plagued him
last year.
“It is just a matter of not getting discouraged,” he said. “If
I get in foul trouble, I see some
things in the film like what
could have stopped the referee
from giving me a foul call.
“That has a lot to do with
my conditioning or even being quicker and faster on defense.”
Overall, the team is working on upping its level of consistency from a year ago. The
team split all six of its Ivy
doubleheaders last season
and was unable to sweep any
weekends, as is necessary for
a championship team.
But with the entire team
back together ­— a year stronger and closer — Allen believes the Quakers can change
their fortunes from a year ago
and come out on top in the Ivy
League.
“The core of this group has
been through enough in terms
of learning how to run, all the
details, defending, closing out
games,” he said, “To the point

Highlighting the top games for 2013-14

“I like where [our frontcourt
is] at,” coach Jerome Allen
said. “I think they’ve worked
hard from last season until now,
they’ve improved their overall skill on the floor, but I think,
more importantly, the group in
itself…they’ve matured from a
mental aspect.”
Feb. 21 vs. Harvard
No team in the Ivy League
has gotten more preseason
press than the Crimson, riding
high after their upset over New
Mexico in the NCAA Tournament last year.
Harvard received 46 votes in
the preseason AP Top 25 Poll,
and with Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry back from their oneyear withdrawals after a cheating scandal, the squad appears
to be more dangerous than ever.
But does all the hype mean
that Penn will be extra motivated to take down a Crimson
squad they split the season series in 2012-13?
“I would hope not,” assistant coach Ira Bowman said. “I
would hope that you’re driven
just by yourself, not off of …
somebody else’s accolades. I
think Harvard’s done a great
job and they deserve all the accolades that they received, but I
also know that no league titles
are won in the preseason.”
February’s matchup will go a
long way towards determining if
the pundits were right.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2013 P age 5
It’s a marathon schedule
for Penn basketball. If you’re
the average Penn student, you
probably don’t know which
games are most watchable. Not
to worry! We’ve got you covered. Here are three of Penn’s
must-see contests this year.
Nov. 22 at Iowa
The marquee showdown of
the Quakers’ nonconference
slate, the Red and Blue will fly
out to the Midwest to take on a
Hawkeyes squad helmed by former Penn player and assistant
coach Fran McCaffery. McCaffery’s squad is fast and deep,
led by senior guard Roy Devyn
Marble, who averaged 15 points
per game last season.
The real story, though, is the
reunion of Penn senior guard
Dau Jok with his little brother,
Peter, a freshman guard at Iowa
and the Hawkeyes’ only true
newcomer.
Both refugees from war-torn
Sudan, the game takes on deeper meaning for the Joks, who
have never faced each other on
the basketball court.
“I’m very excited because
it’s symbolic of how far we have
come as a family,” Dau said.
“I’m very happy for [Peter] and
I want him to be the best player
possible…it’s just that night, I
need that win.”
That may be a tall order
against one of the Big Ten favorites, though.
Dec. 29 at Rider
Penn plays a whopping four
teams from the MAAC this
year, none more dangerous
than the Broncs. In coach Kevin
Baggett’s first year running the
team, Rider made a surprising
run to the MAAC quarterfinals
before falling to Fairfield.
Much of the Broncs’ offense
will revolve around senior forward Daniel Stewart, a Philadelphia native who last year
ranked fourth in the conference
in rebounding and seventh in
field goal percentage.
Stewart’s presence will be
a big challenge to Penn’s forwards, and interior players like
Henry Brooks and Darien Nelson-Henry will have to step up
on defense to contain the thirdteam All-MAAC selection.

Freshman Outlook: Bagtas unsure of role
Jones, Howard expected
to bring energy off of
the bench, spelling vets
to start off the season
BY COREY HENRY
Staff Writer
As the Class of 2017 gets adjusted to its new surroundings
in Philadelphia, five studentathletes have the added burden
of trying to make a name for
themselves as Penn basketball
players.
The five freshman Quakers
— Tony Bagtas, Matt Howard,
Dylan Jones, David Winfield
Jr. and Preston Troutt — may
be from different regions of the
country, but they all share one
goal: getting on the court for the
Red and Blue.
It's a daunting task, but with
patience and perseverance,
coach Jerome Allen thinks they
can have their own impact on
the season.
“The biggest thing for them
is that they have to learn their
way,” Allen said.
In high school, these freshmen were at the top of their
game and fielded many offers
to play basketball at Division I
schools across the nation.
And now they each have to
prove themselves all over again.
Luckily for all five players,
Allen won’t be reliant on them
from the start of the season as
the freshmen learn from the upperclassmen.
“Our core group of players
have a season to reflect on positives and negatives,” Allen said.
“Hopefully they can help the
younger guys out in the sense
of helping them along in the
process.
“The beauty of it is that, the
large part of the freshmen
class, we won’t have to depend
on them right away as opposed
to last year starting three freshmen.”

Tony Bagtas: Coming from
Atlanta, Ga., there is a lot to
like in the freshman guard’s
game. His ability to drive
the lane and create shots on
his own allows him to make
an immediate impact in the
Quakers lineup alongside senior Miles Cartwright.
Before the season, Bagtas
told the DP he would “run the
team,” but after the first few
weeks of practices, he was
unsure of where he would fit
in with the Quakers.
“I haven’t really gotten a
good feel for [my role on the
team] yet,” Bagtas said. He
hopes to give the Quakers
some support at the point position this year.
Matt Howard: After turning down offers from Stanford
and Virginia Tech, Howard
chose to come to Penn for
both athletics and academics.
“It’s a great school,” Howard said. “It’s hard to pass up
on Wharton.”
Howard looks to combine
his mid-range talents with
high basketball IQ to wreak
havoc on defensive matchups. Coming off the bench
behind Cartwright and sophomore Tony Hicks will allow
Howard to change the pace of
the game with his relentless
assault.
“My role will probably be
to come in and be an energy
guy and give as much effort
as possible,” he said.
Dylan Jones: Hailing from
Houston, Jones originally
committed to Pepperdine before having a change of heart
and choosing Penn. Jones
finished his senior season by
dominating the high school
competition he faced.
Jones plans to rely on his
excellent defense and rebounding to help Penn battle
for supremacy on the boards
this season. The depth at the
forward position could hurt
his chances to get significant
playing time, but his defensive focus should bode well
with the defensive-minded
Allen.
“I believe my rebounding
and playing defense will help
this team,” Jones said.
David Winfield Jr.: The
son of Hall of Famer Dave
Winfield Sr., this 6-foot-10 center from Southern California
brings plenty of raw athleticism to the Quakers. However, a growth spurt during his
junior year has led to persistent knee issues for Winfield.
During his senior year
for Harvard-Westlake (Ca.),
he missed the first part of
the season before slowly increasing his minutes. When
healthy, he displayed the potential to score and rebound
in the paint.
Winfield has played very
little during Penn’s preseason
due to his injury history. But,
once healthy, Winfield could
serve as a secret weapon for
the Red and Blue due to the
fact that he hasn’t shown up
on any game film yet.
Preston Troutt: This Dallas sharpshooter has shown
promise early with his threepoint shot. Troutt, son of billionaire Kenny Troutt, was
the third-leading scorer all
time for Trinity Christian
Academy (Texas) thanks to
his reliability on the perimeter.
At Penn’s Red & Blue
Scrimmage on Oct. 26, Troutt
displayed his long-range
jumper and made the most of
his minutes.
While talented, he will be
competing with a myriad of
guards for playing time this
season. Troutt has also battled injuries coming into this
season. So until he can stay
healthy, he’ll stay stashed
away on Penn’s bench.

BASKETBALL PREVIEW
BY JOHN PHILLIPS
Sports Editor
For Darien Nelson-Henry, it
clicked against Lafayette.
In his first 12 games as a
freshman last season, he averaged just 4.3 points per game.
But against Lafayette, he
posted 17 points and went on
to score in double digits for the
next seven games. He finished
the year boosting that 4.3 points
per game mark up to 7.6.
“I realized college basketball was a lot easier than I was
making it out to be in my head,”
Nelson-Henry said. “I was putting a lot of pressure on myself.
And I realized that this is the
game I’ve been playing since I
was five years old, so I just went
out and played like I know how
to play.”
season to keep himself fit.
“He didn’t have a choice,” fellow classmate Tony Hicks said.
For Hicks, the college game
clicked a little later, on the road
against Cornell on Feb. 22.
While Hicks showed flashes
of his ability as a pure scorer
earlier in the season — he
scored 13 in his first collegiate
game against UMBC — the
game against the Big Red was
an example of Hicks’ potential.
Everything was clicking for
Hicks that night, as he put up 29
points on 11-for-18 shooting, including five three-pointers.
For the next three games,
Hicks couldn’t be stopped offensively. He put up 23, 24 and
19 points following the game
against Cornell.
Still, Hicks didn’t think of that
stretch as his moment of clarity.
“It was really just preparation,” Hicks said. “I was coming in in the morning, getting
shots up. Coach [Scott] Pera
really took me under his wing.
We started talking about prepa-
Amanda Suarez/DP File Photo
Sophomore Tony Hicks caught fire for two Ivy League weekends, when he rattled off
29, 19, 23 and 24 points in those four games for an average of 23.8 points per game.
A part of Nelson-Henry’s
struggle initially at the last
season was getting into good
enough shape for the college
game. He weighs in at 265 and
pushed himself throughout the
ration and things on and off the
court.
“The game slowed down a lot.
The ball just started going into
the basket.”
But while Nelson-Henry had
an epiphany, Hicks’ acclamation
came more gradually.
“It was slow, game-by-game,
watching film.” Hicks said. “Just
about paying attention to the details.”
In addition to hitting the
weight room over the summer — Hicks has added eight
pounds of muscle since last season — he has spent the offseason working hard on the court
and in the film room.
“Working on ball-handling,
playmaking ability,” Hicks said.
“Watching film, knowing different scenarios on the court,
understanding where I have to
be.”
Hicks showed that he has the
ability to put the team on his
back. He was one of only three
players last season to have
four or more 20-plus point performances. Then-junior Miles
Cartwright had seven while fellow classmate Fran Dougherty
had four, tying Hicks for second
on the team.
In fact, Dougherty started off
the season scoring at will.
After establishing himself as
Penn’s offensive leader through
the bulk of its nonconference
schedule, Dougherty fell ill with
mono, causing him to miss the
next eight games and to lose a
lot of muscle.
He tried coming back for two
games of Ivy play, but an elbow
bone injury he suffered against
Cornell on Feb. 2 ended his season.
“The juniors were the oldest guys on the team,” NelsonHenry said. “Fran was an experienced player, and it was hard
to lose him. It was hard to know
where we were going to go leadership-wise.
“But we knew the gap had
to be filled. And we stepped up,
because that’s what you have to
do.”
Nelson-Henry and Hicks saw
their opportunity and they took
it. Two contests after his big performance against Lafayette, he
became a staple in the starting
five for the Quakers.
“I think once I got my chance
to play, I was able to show what
I can do,” Nelson-Henry said.
“I didn’t necessarily want it to
come at the expense of Fran being out, but I’m happy I got the
chance to showcase my abilities.”
Amanda Suarez/DP File Photo
Sophomore center Darien Nelson-Henry finally realized how easy the college game
can be against Lafayette Jan. 8, when he scored double digits for the first time.
With Nelson-Henry now
starting at center, Dougherty
moves to power forward, allowing him to play with a more
open style.
“He’s happy with the transition,” Nelson-Henry said. “He
can shoot a little bit more. He
has a little bit more freedom
than the confines of a block.”
The two big men make for a
strong starting front court.
“I think we can work well together,” he said. “And the fact
that he can post up, and he can
pass decently — that’s dangerous. Especially in the Ivy
League.”
While both players have been
working hard to get in shape so
that they can get out and run
more in transition, Dougherty
has had to put in extra time to
get used to playing power forward.
“He’s been working hard on
picking his wind up,” NelsonHenry said. “He’s been working
out with the guards sometimes,
trying to work on that four position.”
Nelson-Henry earned that
starting center spot last season
in Ivy play, as he and Hicks unleashed on the rest of the Ancient Eight.
Coach Jerome Allen began
putting both of them into the
starting lineup at around the
same time, and that camaraderie is strong between the sophomores.
“There’s a big togetherness
with us,” Hicks said. “There’s a
big togetherness with our entire
class. We got a lot of confidence
in ourselves. But now it’s about
us producing on the court, and
being leaders for the underclassmen.”
Hicks and Nelson-Henry will
play a big role in revitalizing
this program over the next few
years.
And even when considering
this season alone, it’s easy to
point to seniors Cartwright and
Dougherty as the big reasons
why Penn will compete for the
Ivy title this season, but Nelson-Henry and Hicks change
the game just as much as their
older counterparts.
Indeed, it’s a long-term game
for Hicks, Nelson-Henry and
the rest of the sophomore class.
For them, their ability to gel and
grow as a unit will not just pay
off this season, but going forward.
“We’re classmates,” NelsonHenry said. “We’re going to be
here until the end and we have a
chance to do something special.
We both realize that.
“We have a bright future for
our class, but also the whole
team.”
