Coach Erwin is not looking for an

Probable Iine-Up
1t is probable that the same team
that started against Baylor will be
used against Union tonight, with pos
sibly one change.
Toby Stubbs seems sure starter
at center, while Afford and Mandy
worked we'll together at guard in the
Baylor game. Afford plays beneath
the basket. while Mandy runs the
floor and takes an occasional fling at
the basket from a round mfdcourt
He 1eoped through three long ones in
the Baylor game, and is being
counted on for several points in to-
nights game. Glenn Laughinhouse
and Dan Gaylord will more than
likely get a chance to show their
wares In tonight's game also. Both
got in against Baylor, and played
good basketball.
Forwards Undecided

Red Floyd, an unusually good man
beneath tho baskets, seems sure to
play at one forward. but tho other
