BASKETBALL BEGUN FOR YEAR

A meeting of basketball candidates was held last night in the Trophy Room of the Union. E. S. Allen '09, captain of the University team, spoke on the prospects for the year, emphasizing the need of team play. He also touched upon the subject of training. If these essentials are regarded, the team should make a much better record than last year.

H. Goepper '09, manager, outlined the work of the year. The work will start with practice for the class teams, which all new men are expected to attend. The University team will be chosen from the men who make the best showing on the class teams and the men left from last year's teams. Practice will begin tonight and all candidates, except those who played on last year's team, will report with their class teams as follows: Freshmen, 6 to 6.45; Juniors, 6.45 to 7.30; Seniors, 7.30 to 8.15; Sophomores, 8.15 to 9. Practice for the University team will commence January 4 and the first game will be played on January 12. A scrub series, open to all members of the University, will also begin at about this time.
