LETTERMEN VOTE O'CONNELL NEXT BASKETBALL LEADER

David John O'Connell '29, of North Easton was elected captain of next year's basketball team at Not-man's Studio yesterday afternoon. O'Connell prepared at Oliver Ames High School, where he played basketball, baseball, and hockey, being captain of the former two sports in his Senior year.

He was a regular forward on the Freshman team, and was a member of the University squad last year. It was in the Dartmouth game this year that O'Connell came to the fore and earned a regular berth for the rest of the season.

Twelve players who participated in the Yale game took part in the election yesterday after the official picture had been taken. This is the largest number of men in recent years to win letters in basketball, nine of them being Seniors.
