Beaten by one heart-breaking point in their meeting with Princeton Saturday night, the Varsity hoopsters travel to Tigertown today to meet the Orange and Black there this evening.
Although playing on an alien court will be a handicap for the quintet, they started on their trip yesterday in high spirits. A stiff practice on Monday and as easier one early yesterday afternoon served to iron out many of the kicks that developed Saturday night in the Crimson offense.
Same Team Starts
Coach Wes Fesler is starting the same team against Princeton tonight that played most of the first game with Captain Charley Lutz and Bill Webber at the forwards, Sam White at center, and Bud Finegan and Ed Buckley at guards.
There was only room for five extra players on the trip, and the substitutes are the same five who saw service Saturday. Johnny Rigby and Frany Simpson, forwards; Ed Rotchschild, center; and Joe Romane and Bob James, guards, will relieve the first five.
In League Cellar
Harvard was dropped into a three-way tie for last place in the League by the defeat at the hands of the second-place Tigers, but Columbia and Cornell, the other two incumbents of the position, met last night, and the Lions won, 48 to 34. This leaves the Crimson in sixth, with one win and three losses, a half a game both from fifth and from seventh. A win or loss tonight will send the team either up or down one notch.
Princeton will probably start Johnny Meyerholz and Bob Stewart at forwards, Paul Busse at center, and Ed Green and Dan Garmichael at the guards.
The Yardlings, who have no official game until Saturday, played Somerville High in an unofficial practice encounter yesterday afternoon, but no score was kept.
