BASKETBALL TEAM TO START TRAINING DRIVE ON MONDAY EVENING

Harvard's basketball season will open officially on Monday when Coach E. A. Wachter sounds the call for all candidates for positions on the Crimson quintet. The past week has found some 20 men working out in informal practice under the tutelage of the University mentor.

The quintet faces a stiff schedule this winter when it squares off against Columbia, Army, Brown, Dartmouth, and Yale. D. J. O'Connell '29, captain of last year's five, will be the sole loss through graduation and Coach Wachter will have a considerable nucleus of veterans with which to work. G. H. Pattison, Jr. '32 and W. S. Baskerville '32, regulars of last winter's Freshman five, have already started practice and are expected to bolster up the University squad.

Seven Football Men to Report

Several members of the Harvard football squad will report for action after resting up from the bruising work of the gridiron season. T. G. Upton '31, lengthy center, W. R. Harper '30, S. C. Burns ocC, and Vahan Moushegian '32 are among those who will forsake the turf for the court. The return of so many regulars and the addition of a number of last year's Freshman players, should enable Coach Wachter to send a strong and experienced team into action.

Practice for the Freshman squad will also get under way on Monday with a meeting of all 1933 aspirants in the Freshman Gymnasium at 5 o'clock. The first-year squad will work out regularly every day at 5 o'clock.
