BASKETBALL TEAM HEADS FOR WEST; SEXTET TO MEET HUSKIES TOMORROW

Coach Earl Brown and eleven of his best players leave tomorrow on the first Christmas four of the Middle West to meet some of the best basketball competition in the country, Bradley Tech, Notre Dame, Detroit, Michigan State, and Illinois.

The ever-changing Crimson lineup is still in a state of change with Earl Brown forever seeking the best combination. Forwards Joe Romano and "Chick" Lutz and guards Ed Buckley and Captain Bud Finegan, starters in the first four games, seems likely to be again on the starting five.

"Bunks" Burditt, who scored 14 points against Northeastern, may get the ca'l over Don Lutze and Ed Rothschild for the center post although both Lutze and Rothschild may drop back to fill in at guard. Jack Torgan will also see action at guard while George Dillon and Bill Webber are the second string forwards. Art Sully is the eleventh man slated for the trip.
