Basketball Prospects Good

The basketball team has played three games so far, and Coach Dolly Stark is wearing a broad grin as the team looks forward to the January schedule of the Eastern Inter collegiate League.

The teams defeated include Providence, Middlebury and St. Michael's, and all the scores were above 40, the high water mark being the 52-22 beating administered to St. Michael's.

Dolly at present is working on the two team idea. The first team is composed of the well-known veterans, headed by Capt. Bill McCall. Irving Kramer is back again, but it is a question whether the Brooklyn boy can make the trips, for his work in the Medical School keeps him busy. Ben Burch, the red head from Washington, D. C., starts his third year as a forward, and he is perhaps the surest foul shooter in the league as well as a flashy player.

George Edwards, Bill Britten and Bill Bennett form a trio of players who were just on the outer fringe of varsity competition last year but who have been liberally used this winter.

Harold Mackey needs no introduction after his sensational play against league opponents last season. Mackey, then the untried sophomore, faced Columbia one night in Hanover and did what no other player had been able to do—which was to hold George Gregory, the Lion's great Negro captain, scoreless from the field. Mackey, another one of the opportunists, has always played better when there is more at stake.
