Four University Squads Complete Opening Week Of Training In Preparation For Hard Winter Schedules.

Since the opening of the basketball season two weeks ago the squad has been gradually increasing. Coach E. A. Wachter has been featuring passing, ball handling, and footwork. All the practice has been with teams divided as evenly as possible, and no attempt has been made to form a first string lineup.

The strength of the squad will be materially improved with the addition of S. C. Burns '30, W. R. Harper '30, A. W. Huguley '31, B. H. Ticknor '31, and T. G. Upton '31.

The team will face an unusually hard schedule which includes Boston University, Holy Cross, New Hampshire, Maine, West Point, Yale, and many others. For this reason Coach Wachter decided to start the season two weeks earlier than usual. There are now between 75 and 100 men a day playing on the Hemenway courts.
