He began attending Princeton University that following fall and was a star for the freshman team. he joined the varsity as a sophomore and was one of the top scorers for the Tigers, helping the team compile a good record in 1923–24. After incurring a few injuries during the year, Sayles withdrew from the team to focus on his studies and graduated a year early in 1925.
