While others prepare for Christmas parties, House basketball teams are practicing for the Interhouse contests remaining before Sunday.

Dudley will meet Adams this afternoon, with the Gold Coasters, holding a 2-1 record, considered the favorite. Adams will play a fairly fast game, and expects superior playing from Pete Krogh and Dale Junta, forwards, and Jack Connolly, center.

The Gold Coasters are expected to deemphesize shooting.

The Commuters will concentrate on a man-to-man defense and should play a fast-break game. Dudley is looking to center Ted Manazir and guards Lee Kasarjian and Phil Hudner to give the team its initial win of the season.
