Kelly to Shift Lineup.
Coach Mike Kelly is to shift
his Business lineup when the
Stenogs trot out to entertain
Charley Guyon's Eastern outfit.
Barrett, who started at forward
on Tuesday afternoon. will be
shifted to guard, and O'Connor is
to get a chance at the other end
OF the team. This switch means
that Clark will do bench duty.
Business is handicapped because
Capt. Dennis is not in the best
of shape. The pivotman suffered
an injury to his foot in a practice
game at Baltimore and is far from
being in shape to show his real
form.
Guyon will probably send
Prender and either Dornis or
Siegfried to forward. O'Dea to CEN

guard at the start of the game.
Prender is suffering from a lame
ankle and may not be used in the
whole game. O'Dea, the only let

partly disabled with a heavy cold
Neither man showed up for prac-
tice yesterday and they may be
