BASKETBALL TEAM LEAVES

The University basketball team will leave Boston at 8 o'clock this evening for its annual trip, including this year a series of four games. The first will be played with Cornell at Auburn, N. Y., tomorrow afternoon. The other three games are as follows: Washington Continentals at Schenectady on Thursday evening; Colgate at Utica on Friday evening; West Point at West Point on Saturday afternoon.

As a whole the series is a hard one and the results exceedingly difficult to predict. Cornell is in the intercollegiate league but has not proved very strong, having been defeated by Yale and Pennsylvania by large scores. The other three games will probably be close but judging from comparative scores the University team should win a majority of the games.

Although defeated in their last two games, the men on the University team are now in excellent condition. Griffiths and Snyder have entirely recovered from their injuries. Murray, Henderson and Burnham have played together practically the entire season and on the offense work well together. The three substitutes taken on the trip, Underwood, Gallagher and Dapping, have all had considerable experience and may be depended upon.

The line-up for the game tomorrow evening will be as follows: HARVARD.  CORNELL. Henderson, l.f.  r.f., Mantel Murray, r.f.  l.f., Dickerman Snyder, c.  c., Root Burnham, l.g.  r.g., Brinkerhoff Griffiths, r.g.  l.g., Reitzer
