Veteran Malletmen from the team which made the semi-finals in the Intercollegiate tournament last year will be pressed for positions on the team by several newcomers. The lineup in the opening exhibition game will probably find Captain F. S. Nicholas '33, at back, Lowell Dillingham '34 at No. 2, and either W. C. McGuckin '34 or T. J. Davis '35 at No. 1.
