Using for the first time the new shift in the line-up decided on after Wednesday's scrimmage, the University basketball team gained a decisive victory over Coach Tolbert's yearlings yesterday afternoon in the Freshman Athletic Building.

Since McLeish and Gordon are the only first string men capable of handling foul shots efficiently, Coach Wachter has found it necessary to bring up Pallo from the second team to one of the forward berths. This player, one of the most brilliant last winter until...
