Injuries to Captain Tolbert, Feiring and Fitts have seriously handicapped the University quintet in its practice preparatory to the coming contest with Dartmouth on Saturday night. The first two named are the best defensive men Coach Wachter has, while Fitts has constantly proven himself a powerful factor in the scoring end of the game, and their loss would actually shatter the Crimson machine.

At present it does not look as if any of the trio will be in condition to play against the Green team. An X-ray examination has revealed a broken bone in Tolbert's foot, and Fitts, in the M. I. T. game again injured a strained muscle in his stomach, which he got against Williams. Feiring sprained his angle slightly in the recent contest with the Tech five and it still bothers him.

In practice yesterday stress was laid on a new offensive play which brings the center into a more advantageous scoring position and on the two-man defense work.

The game at Hanover on Saturday is to be the feature of the evening. It will be preceded in the afternoon by a contest between the Dartmouth and Eli septets and ski jumping exhibitions. Following the basketball game the Dartmouth Musical Clubs are to give a concert and the evening's program will end with dances at the various fraternity houses.
