The University basketball team will play Princeton in the Hemenway Gymnasium at 8 o'clock this evening. This game is the fourth on the University's schedule, two of the previous ones being won by Pennsylvania and Columbia, and the third forfeited to Cornell.

Princeton, although defeated by Yale last night by the score of 15 to 10, and by Pennsylvania last Saturday, 21 to 15, has a powerful team of individual players. The offense is especially strong, the men relying to a great extent upon the accurate basket shooting of the forwards and center.

Since the game with Columbia last week, there has been a noticeable improvement in the team play and in dividual work of the first team. The coaching of the defense by Mr. Barnes of the Cambridge Y. M. C. A. has produced such good results, that this department of the game is better than it has been at any time this season.

All the men are now strong in the long passes and should keep the ball in their opponents' territory the greater part of the time. The tendency to risk long shots for baskets has entirely disappeared and the men have been so thoroughly drilled in the short shooting as to much increase their scoring power.

Seats will be arranged as usual on the running track and around the floor of the Gymnasium to accommodate six hundred people. The admission fee will be fifty cents.

The line-up will be as follows: Harvard.  Princeton. Underwood, K. Smith, l.f.  r.f., Ely Grant, r.f.  l.f., McCoy Randall, c.  c., Batten Bigelow, l.g.  r.g., Hardenbergh Gring. Swift, r.g.  l.g., Vanderbilt
