More than 50 candidates reported yesterday at the Freshman Gymnasium for a meeting and a light workout which marked the opening of the basketball season for the first year men. This is an unusually small squad, but more candidates are expected to report later in the week who were prevented from doing so today on account of football or fall crew practice.
The Freshman coach, S. B. Chase 3L, and University Coach Wachter both addressed the meeting. The later emphasized the importance of "condition, team-work' and spirit". He also took the Freshman defeat at the hands of Yale in football as an example of the necessity of substitutes for a winning team.
Although the squad is small, the first cut will come at the end of this week, but those men who are dropped will be given a chance to show their worth on dormitory teams.
