The long road trip, a peacetime luxury which has drawn many an aspiring athlete to try out for a Varsity squad in the past, sees its duration finale today, when the Crimson basketball team takes the lengthy journey to Princeton for a contest tonight with the tough Tigers.

Coach Earl Brown's squads have enjoyed these leisurely train rides this year as much as anybody en route to their destination, but the homecomings have invariably been less joyous. It will be remembered that the Crimson victory at Yale Saturday night was the first such foreign triumph for the Varsity in almost three months.

Crimson Toppled Tigers

Princeton, resting in second place in the Ivy League behind untouchable Dartmouth, will be out to make life pretty miserable for the Crimson. It was the Varsity quintet, one month ago, which ended a five-game Bengal winning streak, upsetting the Nassaus 36 to 32 in Bunks Burditt's farewell appearance.

Bill Logan's five boasts Bud Palmer, efficient pivot man second in scoring only to Columbia's Walt Budko. Supporting Palmer are numerous worthies, chief of whom is Captain Jack Munda, forward. With a slight mathematical chance to tie the Big Green, the Princetons present a force to be reckoned with.
