YALE BASKETBALL GAME

The first of the two annual basketball games between Harvard and Yale will be played at 8 o'clock this evening in the Hemenway Gymnasium. Admission tickets at $1 each are on sale today at Leavitt and Peirce's and will be sold at the door this evening. A change has been made in the order of the University team as a result of the Brown game last week, by which Wellman and Miller will play the forward positions instead of Currie and Webber. Yale will present the same team that has been used in the last few games. The line-ups: HARVARD.  YALE. Wellman, l.f.  r.g., Eames Miller, r.f.  l.g., Wilson Newton, c.  c., Van Vleck Allen, l.g.  r.f., Cushman Brown, r.g.  l.f., Strobridge

Work of the Two Teams.

Up to the present time the work of the University team has not been satisfactory. Owing to the loss of Browne and Brooks of last year's team, neither of whom is playing this year, and to the shortness of the schedule, which has not given enough practice, the team has come up to the Yale game with an unsettled line-up and poorly developed team play. The defence with Brown and Allen is fairly good, and Newton is doing well at centre. Wellman and Miller are from the 1911 team, but their work this year has not been up to the standard of the first team forwards in former years.

Of the five games that have been played Harvard has won only a single victory, in the first game with Brown when the score was 23 to 17. Last week, however, Brown defeated Harvard in the return game at Providence by 37 to 14. The other defeats have been from Technology, by 19 to 12, from Princeton by 23 to 20, and from Tufts by 15 to 10. Only in the first Brown game and the Princeton game did the University team show much scoring ability, and the work since then has not improved as it ought.

Yale started the season with a series of defeats, but has improved steadily and is now playing a consistently good game. On December 12 Fordham was beaten by 35 to 13, but in the four following games Yale was defeated by Wesleyan, Brooklyn Polytechnic School, and twice by Princeton, the scores of the Princeton games being 34 to 12 and 40 to 28. On February 3 Yale defeated the University of Pennsylvania by 22 to 12, and since then has beaten Pratt Institute 13 to 5 and West Point 22 to 15.
