IN THE BASKET

The basketball team that faces Yale at New Haven tonight has a heavy burden to carry. After a lapse of fourteen years we are resuming, more or less as novices, a game that has been played at Yale much more regularly, and is recognized at many other colleges on a par with the major sports. The players must not only uphold Harvard's athletic prowess over an old rival; they have the added tasks of justifying their existence as a minor sport and of arousing the interest and support--somewhat lacking now--which will be the basis for future successful teams. A victory will help materially in bringing the desired results.
