ENCOURAGING BASKETBALL

In a fast and very snappy basketball game in Mechanics Hall, Boston, yesterday afternoon, the University defeated the Freshman team by the score of 36 to 8. The practice was by far the most encouraging that has been held during the season, and showed that the team is in excellent condition for the game with Yale tomorrow. The men all played together well, and the passing was more accurate than for some time. During the past week the forwards have been improving rapidly in shooting, and their work last night was especially good.

It has not yet been decided whether Fish or Browne will start the game at centre; both men played that position yesterday. Scribner took Allen's place in the latter part of the game, and threw two baskets. He will make a valuable substitute in case either of the forwards is injured.

For the Freshmen, Jamerson and Wellmann played well, and Webber showed up well in taking the ball down the floor. The 1911 team, however, is still weak in shooting.

The summary: UNIVERSITY TEAM.  1911. Currie, l.f.  r.f., Jamerson Allen, Scribner, r.f.,  l.f., Miller Fish, Browne, c.  c., Wellmann Browne, S. Broun, l.g.  r.g., Dow Brooks, Almy, r.g.  l.g., Webber
