BUSY WEEK IN SPORTS WITH 14 CONTESTS ON

McGILL DANGEROUS, UNBEATEN FOE OF CRIMSON

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Crimson sports teams will return to competition this week after the Christmas holiday recess with fourteen contests scheduled, outstanding among which are hockey games with University of Montreal and McGill University and two basketball games with Tufts and Dartmouth.

The Dartmouth game is the opening match for the Feslermen in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League. The Varsity basketball game with Tufts will find the Crimson sending its unbeaten team, winner of five straight games, against the Jumbos at 8:45 o'clock in the Indoor Athletic tomorrow night. The Dartmouth game will be played at Hanover and will be the first of a home and home series with the Big Green, the second game to be played at Cambridge, March 9.

McGill Sextet Sensational

Of particular interest because of the international character of the matches are the two hockey games the Stubbsmen will play with Montreal and McGill. The Montreal game will be played at the Boston Garden on Thursday night at 8:30 and the McGill game at the Garden on Saturday night. The latter contest arrays the Crimson sextet against one of the most formidable college hockey teams ever developed. In its two opening games McGill defeated Montreal 9-0 and Princeton 10-0. A year ago McGill was the only team which defeated George Ford's team, and the Canadians still hold much of the player strength which made the team so sensational.

Grapplers, Mermen Busy

The wrestling team will meet Brown on Saturday in the Indoor Athletic Building at 3 P. M., a Freshman wrestling match with the Bruins also being scheduled on that day. The Varsity swimming team, potentially one of the strongest in the country, has a match with Greenwood Memorial Club at 8:15 o'clock on Saturday, and the Freshman swimming team will meet Gardner High School on the same day at 4 o'clock. A Freshman basketball game with Tufts is scheduled for Wednesday to be played in the Indoor Athletic Building at 7:30 o'clock and to be followed by a Varsity match with Tufts at 8:45 o'clock.
