BY unanimous vote it passed the

Being assured that the tryouts for

mend that in the interest of interna-
rional amity and international sport
that the association accept the fnvi-
tation Of the president of the Olympic
committee to resume membership In
The American Olympic Association"
The collegiate group bolted the
Olympic ranks year ago at Wash
ington along with the National Anna
ieur Athletic Federation. the Y. M.
e. A and the Western Conference.
The federation agreed to rejoin the
Olympic body on Wednesday, and the
other two organizations are expected
70 take similar action in the near
future.
Under the tryout program now in
stituted, the 1928 championships of
the n. c. A A. win be on the same
basis as the A. A. Z. sectional tryouts.

Penn and Yale Play Opening
Game of Eastern Loop
Series Saturday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, December 30.-The
Eastern Intercollegiate Basket
VI Ball League season, in which
l. Dartmouth defends it's first
championship, gets off to a
flying start Saturday, when Pennsyl-
vania and Yale clash at Philadelphia
in the opening game Of the campaign.
The whistle that calls Capts. Gene
Council of Penn and Gilfry Ward OF
Yale and their men into action will
start small-sized war that won't end
until March 10. when the last three
games are scheduled.
Because Dartmouth Is defending a
title and because the Green has lost
but one man from last seasons great
team, the lads from Hanover are Ia
vorites before the race.
Princeton, which came within an
eyelash of the championship last year
in that hard-fought play-on game
which went to Dartmouth, 1924, has
been somewhat harder hit, even losing
its captain by failure to return to
school.
All four Of the other teams in the
league-Penn, Yale, Cornell and Co
lumbia-must be reckoned with. as
this league has a way of producing
the unexpected in champions.
Dartmouth's active drive for the
title gets started just week after the
Penn-Yale opening skirmish. On Sat
urday, January Z. at New Haven. the
Green lines up against the Blue. What
the latter did to the former on the
gridiron recently is well enough re-
membered at Hanover to assure plenty
of heart.to.heart basket ball in this
ARRAY.
Light in weight. the Dartmouth
team has plenty Of potential speed.
Teamwork and passing were a trifie
ragged in early season warm-ups. but
Coach Lew Wachter counted on the
annual Christmas trip through ONO
and New York to get the boys work
ing together and develop smoothness.
While the burden Of the title de-
Tense probably will be borne largely
by the seven letter men on the squad.
there is plenty OF reserve material
available which may get a chance un-
der fire. The reserves include five
men from the undefeated freshman
team.
The one man lost to Dartmouth from
last years title-winning quintet is
Capt. Picken. His place has been
filled effectually and in Capt. Bill

was shifted to guard In his second
year. With his light weight he APP
pears better adapted for a forward
post. but has turned out to be one
OF the greatest OF Dartmouth guards.
More than once he has broken up a
two and three man offense sweeping
down on him. On the side he finds
time to shoot some baskets on his
own account, ranking as the third
high scorer on the Dartmouth team
last year.
