Four of the eight competing Houses will renew the battle for the Straus Inter-House Trophy Monday, when Kirkland meets Winthrop and Adams goes against Lowell in a resumption of basketball play. Dunster and Leverett, currently tied for first place in the hoop circuit, will oppose Adams and Winthrop later in the week.

Squash competitions will also get under way again after a month-long lapse, as the Leverett and Winthrop "B" squads clash on Tuesday.

Pugilists and swordsmen in the Houses will meet in the latter part of March, with the ring prelims on March 12 and the epee matches scheduled for March 24.
