CRIPPLED CRIMSON FIVE TO MEET CORNELL TEAM

With a victory over Tufts and a defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania under their belts since the Yuletide holidays, the Harvard hoopsters will enter the arena tomorrow night with a fighting chance to down the Cornell five.

Since the Penn game, where the Feslermen gave the visitors the start of their season, and showed at last that the honorable game of basketball can be played on the banks of the Charles, the team has had a series of stiff drills, ironing out all rough spots, and attempting to build up the stamina necessary for League competition.

Old man hard luck has hit the Crimson cagers hard this last week. Captain Dick Boys is enjoying an attack of the ptomaine, Byron Moser is out until February with a bad ankle, and to cap the climax long Bill Gray is taking a rest on doctor's orders. If Gray and Boys can be in uniform to greet the Cayugans, Harvard's stock will be high, and there seems to be no reason why another scalp cannot be added to the Harvard total of three. Three was all the games that were won last year, so anything from now on will be profit.
