THE BASKETBALL MEETING

Eighty-seven men answered the call for candidates for the University and class basketball teams last evening. This number will be somewhat increased, as there are a number of men who were unable to report that have signified their intention of coming out.

J. W. Gilles 2L., last year's coach, in outlining the work of the coming season said that a difficult University schedule had been arranged, which could be successfully met only by the hardest and most consistent work and especially urged the candidates to get into good physical condition at once. Captain H. B. Bigelow '04, in a few remarks emphasized the fact that the men must report for practice on time and that any lateness would count against a man when the team was picked.

Regular practice for all the candidates will commence at the Gymnasium tonight, when the Sophomores are expected to report at 7 o'clock, the Graduates, Seniors and Juniors at 7.30 o'clock, and the Freshmen at 8.15 o'clock. J. W. Gilles 2L. will for the present have charge of the candidates, but separate coaches for the various class teams will also be appointed within a few days. W. A. Quigley '06, who was expected to take charge of the Freshman squad, will be unable to do so owing to illness.

The first game of the interclass series will be played between the Sophomores and Freshmen on November 30, the final championship game on December 2. Class basketball numerals and silver cups will be given to the team winning the class championship, but no man who has played on the University team will be allowed to enter the class games. A manager for the Freshman team will be appointed this evening, who will arrange a schedule of games, the first of which will be played immediately after the Christmas vacation.
