Leaving its home stamping grounds for the first time this year, the Varsity basketball team, with four members of the class of '42 on the starting five, meets a strong Brown aggregation this evening in Providence.

Ed Rothschild, six foot two Sophomore, will start his first game tonight, replacing at center the injured Homer Peabody, who will be out till after Christmas at the very least. Rothschild played most of the game against North-eastern Thursday, and his performance then earned him the right to be in the starting lineup against the Bruins.

Luts Chief Threat

Charley Lutz, Crimson captain, will be the chief offensive threat of the invaders. The speedy forward leads the team in scoring with 24 points, split evenly between the Tech and Northeastern encounters. Bill Webber is paired with him.

Bud Finegan, second in the scoring with 16 tallies to his credit, will start at one guard, with Ed Buckley at the other.

For the Bruins, Captain Harry Platt and George Fisher will be in at the forward posts, Jim Person at center, and Jack Padden and Tank Wilson at the guards.

All five of these men are veterans. So far this year they have won their only two games, against the Alumni, and Clark.

A weak Freshman quintet meets the Bruin Cubs in a preamble to the main encounter tonight. Holtan, Scully, Hall, Phelan, and Royer will start for the Yardlings.
