Tonight at 8 o'clock the University basketball team meets a strong Columbia quintet on the top floor of the Indoor Athletic Building. Columbia, undefeated so far this year, has an all-veteran aggregation, and a close hard-fought game should be the order of the day.

Coach Wachter has decided to shift the lineup of the Crimson hoopsters in an attempt to get more speed into the outfit than was shown against Dartmouth last Thursday, when the Green won, 30 to 13. He plans to move Captain Pattison from the forward to the center position and to start W. S. Baskervill '32 and A. J. Matursevitch '33 at the forward positions. Although Pattison lacks height for the center berth, Coach Wachter feels that he will more than make up for this deficiency by his excellent all-round play and that this combination should be able to get the ball near the opponents' basket more often than the old combination succeeded in doing.
