NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A spirited, lively squad of Crimson hoopsters--something which Harvard has not seen in several years--will take the floor tonight at 8 o'clock in the New Indoor Athletic Building against Boston University as Wesley Fesler makes his debut as basketball coach. Since the middle of the football season, Fesler has been drilling and priming his men, and tonight comes the first test against a plucky squad of Terriers.

Dick Boys, who starred on last year's Varsity, is back at center and in him, Harvard's mentor places his greatest hope. Boys is a reliable man on both the offense and defense, and is extremely accurate in his hoop shots. Dan Comfort, who has recently been shifted from forward, will assist Captain Joe Ferriter in guarding the Crimson basket. Gene Merry, a returning letterman, and Jim Grady, a sophomore, will lead the attack in the forward posts.

The Terriers offer Harvard a serious threat in the persons of Captain Fred Garabedian and Fred Hale, who are forwards. These two netted 20 of B. U.'s 23 points Saturday in the season's opener against Clark University, and the remaining three were scored by Al Mathers, the center, Moreland Fort and Fred Alnsiee are Coach John Harmon's guards.
