Yardling Cagers Play First Game

The freshman basketball team opens its 15-game schedule at Springfield College today.

Springfield's varsity squad is a traditional small-college basketball power in New England, and its freshman squad should provide a tough first test for the Crimson hoopsters.

Coach Ken Klug will be using the same fast-breaking, running attack that varsity coach Bob Harrison used in his opening games against Brandeis and Navy last week. Klug will be looking for material to bolster Harvard's attempt to build a strong basketball squad over the next few years.

The Harvard squad has been shaping up well in its pre-season drills. The tentative starting lineup has 5-9 Matt Bozek as point man, 6-2 Dick Parsanko and 6-4 Greg Williams as wingmen, and 6-6 Brian Newmark and 6-4 Wayne Clapp as forwards.

An even tougher assignment faces the freshman cagers next Tuesday, when they tangle with a squad from basketball powerhouse Boston College.
