The University basketball team will meet one of the strongest quintets on its schedule this winter when the fast Holy Cross combination comes to Hemenway Gymnasium tonight. The contest is scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock.

Clancey and Morris, right guard and left forward, respectively, on the Purple team form a strong offensive combination, and were the main-springs of the Holy Cross attack which gave the Crusaders a 30-14 verdict over the strong Dartmouth team.

The University players have been drilling this week to improve their attack which was below par in the game with Amherst last Friday. The Crimson team lost the contest in the closing minutes of the game. At the opening of the game, the quintet looked as if it had regained the speed and scoring power that had brought victory to Harvard in the games following the Christmas recess.

No changes will be made in the line-up of the team that played last Friday. Early in the week it was doubtful whether either of the two regular forwards, H. T. Wenner '30 and A. W. Slocum '28, would be able to play on account of sprained ankles which have been bothering both of the players. Indication last night, however, were that the injuries would not keep either player from giving a good account of himself in tonight's contest.
