Yardling Quintet Hits Practice Game Today

In what is expected to give an indication of future prowess, the Crimson Yardling quintet engages the Everett High School five in a full length practice game this afternoon on the Indoor Athletic Building court.

With three starters over six feet, Coach Warren Berg '44 is looking forward to control of both backboards as well as a steady flow of Yardling baskets. Pat Daly, six foot four, will start at center. Flanking him at the forward positions will be John Rockwell, six feet three and Frank Lionette, six foot two. Lionette in an ex-Everett player and he will be trying doubly hard before his former coach.

The guards, Dick Covey and dick Reifsnyder, while not six feet, are both fine ball handlers and good shots according to Coach Berg.

Although the squad has twelve men on it, Berg expects the five to carry the brunt of the work during the coming season which officially opens Saturday night against the M.I.T. Jayvee.
