With three days practice to remove the effects of holiday indulgences, House League basketball teams will start play Friday for a short ten days before exams. This is a mere spit-in-the-bucket, token operation; the major part of the season always comes in February, after exams.

Activity in the hockey and squash leagues will be even more desultory, not starting until next week.
