HOOP TEAM ENCOUNTERS STRONG COLUMBIA CLUB

Victory over Columbia tonight will send the Varsity basketball team into third place in the Eastern intercollegiate League when the two meet in the Indoor Athletic Building at 8:45 o'clock.

Starting the usual lineup of Red Lowman and Lev White as forwards, Captain Bill Gray at center, and Lupe Lupien and Vern Struck as guards, Coach Wes Fesler feels the Crimson have a good chance for victory in spite of the defeat at Dartmouth last Wednesday.

Columbia comes here with practically the same personnel that enabled them to take the league title without a defeat last year, but the loss by graduation of Bill Nash has changed them into a second place club. A loss at the hands of Harvard will mean that they will be displaced, however, and will drop to fourth place.

Freshmen Meet Tilton

The Freshman basketball team will tackle Tilton Academy at 7 o'clock in a preliminary contest. So far this year the Yardlings have shown themselves to be a fairly strong team with Chet Legg, former Exeter flash, usually leading as high score man.
