One more from the archives, before I settle down on the couch for today's games.
I grabbed this off the wall outside of the Wawa on University Place in early 1989.
Scrabis had joined Princeton's 1,000 point club earlier in the year - on a free throw, pausing to look to his left before shooting as he always did - and would lead his team to the 1989 Ivy League title, clinching the championship with a victory at Harvard in the final game of the season.

I am extremely chuffed to let you all know that the picture of Pete Carril in this week's Sports Illustrated (Page 16, Tiger Woods on the cover) was taken by princetonbasketball.com photographer Stephen Goldsmith!
If you see Stephen at Jadwin tonight, slap him on the back and congratulate him.
For those of you who couldn't make it, here's some of the neat stuff handed out at different points on Saturday - before, during and after the "Carril Court" events.
I finally have something to drink my bottle of 2004 Ivy League Champions orange soda out of!
Commemorative laniard, front - the man of the hour.

Well that didn't take long!
Less than ten minutes after I posted this challenge, a reader let me know that the Princeton player pictured is Ed Hummer '67.
The next morning the same reader wrote: "According to my Penn source, the face in the lower left corner is Frank Burgess and the face in the lower right corner is Charlie Snell. The guy in the center wearing #20 battling with Hummer is Lance Lohmeyer."
I picked up the above for $0.50 on eBay, and while I love the picture, I have no idea who the two players are battling for the rebound or what year the photo was taken in.
Pretty confident that's Dillon Gym in the background, so it would be from before 1969 and I can infer that it was shot after 1944.
Any thoughts?
