Twenty-one men have been retained after the first cut in the basketball squad this year. The team will commence work around a nucleus of five of last year's regulars: Captain H.T. Wenner '30, S.C. Burns ocC, T.G. Upton '31, J.L. Rex '31, and P.W. Mahady '30, are the players upon whom Coach Ed Wachter is certain to rely, while G.H. Pattison '32, W.S. Baskerville '32, and W.J. Holland '32, captain of last year's Freshman team are the leading Sophomores who have joined the squad.

The squad began its practice this week, but, as the teams at Yale and Princeton, it will not get fully under way until members of the football team who are also playing basketball have reported.

Eighty candidates reported for the first Freshman meeting of basketball. After a few days, the squad was cut to 29 players among whom there are several promising prospects.
