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.

This afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Freshman Athletic Building Coach Wachter will send his basketball squad against Coach Tolbert's yearlings. Although definite line-ups have been announced for the three teams on each side, both coaches intend to make frequent substitutions in all quintets and every man in both University and Freshman squads will probably have an opportunity to play...

Although the squad is still too large to judge accurately the candidates for the various positions, in the workouts so far Merriam has proved himself one of the speediest forwards on the squad and in addition is an accurate scorer from the foul line, while J. E. Bunting and J. L. Scully are also strong contenders...
