Tonight's contest will mark the debut of newly-appointed Coach Bill Barclay, who joined the University coaching staff in October to replace Floyd Staff. Barclay will start what is virtually a new newly-elected captain of the squad, is the only veteran starter against the Teachmen. He played with last year's team, which won 17 of 18 games and was invited to the N.C.A.A. Championship Tournament...

Although still unwilling to name a starting five, Barclay said that his selections will be made from this group; Saul mariaschin, Leo Page, George Hauptfuhrer, Steve Davis, Bill Harford, John Gantt, John Noble and Jack Torgan...

...players were kept from early practice by the demands of Harlow's afternoon grid sessions, and have only arrived at the Athletic Building Courts within the last week.

But in Pete Petrillo, Bill Henry, and George Hauptfuhrer, he thinks he sees definite sparks of talent...
This is not an apology, though, for the team will give a good account of itself, despite the caliber of the opposition. With a few more weeks to learn the Barclay system, a few more sessions to get to know each other, and any sort of breaks at all, this team should do all right. Certainly no one around Cambridge should be selling it short...
