BASKETBALL

The University returns to the basketball court after a long absence. Candidates for the five report to Coach Wachter this afternoon. Needless to say the building of a team will be a hard task in a college where basketball tradition itself has died out; but it will be exceedingly, worth while, if Harvard receives the new minor sport with anything like the enthusiasm shown at Yale and Princeton.

Coach Wachter deserves the hearty support of the University in his attempt to put Harvard on such a footing that, beginning modestly, it will be able soon to compete with its great st rivals in a sport too long ignored.
