Tonight a University team meets Yale in a branch of sport which for some reason for other is regarded with less interest at Harvard than at almost any other university.

The shooting of the University forwards was weak, and the guards were not able to keep the second team from scoring frequently. The University team will probably play against Yale in the same order as in yesterday's practice...
