 Forwards, Bill Saner and Carson Elliott; center, O'Neil; guards, Me- Gowan and Nikkel.
 McGowan and O'Neil are veter- ans of the team. They are seniors with two years experience. O'Neil has been shifted to center, but Robert O'Connell, a member of the football squad, and former Notre Dame star, who reported for bas- ketball practice this week, shows promise and may develop into the regular pivot man. In this event O'Neil will return to guard. Earl Nikkel, a brilliant freshman guard last year will be McGowan's floor companion for the present. Ben Reese and Arthur Howe, freshman guards last year, will be alternated with the regulars at present.
 Saner, Elliott and Lawrence Lar son will be used as regular for wards in the early games. Saner, who came to Yale from Roxbury school, which won the interschol- astic eastern championship largely through his goal ossing, was high scorer for the 1884 team, closely followed by Elliott, Louis Bender and John Dickson. last years for wards, will be alternated in the forward line this season. Bob Las- sitter, another freshman forward of last year, will join the basketball squad in two or three weeks, but will not take part in the Christ mas trip. He has been football halfback during the season which closed yesterday.
 Several former intercollegiate basketball stars will appear in alumni uniforms tomorrow night. including Paul Fodder, captain in 1920; Gus Marry, captain in 1930; and Eddie HorwitZ, captain last winter, together with Al Beane, Johnny Beyer, Lou Nassau, Joe Townsend, Joe Cook, and Pete Git- litz of recent Yale teams.

Umte0 PfeSS SCafl COfrcSpOnuchI
 New York, December - (UP) - If you feel as though you might be able to use a little extra sugar around about 1883, it might not be a bad idea to hie yourself out and get down few wagers on the Army football team of that year. For l see by the papers where Her. man Hickman, Tennessee's man. eating guard, has been assured of an appointment to West Point and will be up there drilling with the boys next year.
 After a year of work with the Plebe outfit, Mister Hickman will be qualified for varsity duty. and that means that Army is going to have good team in 1883, 1884 and 1895. Just what sort of su- per-bruiser Hickman will be by the time 1895 and his twenty-fourth birthday rolls around. wouldn't like to guess. Righ now, when he pounds and nineteen years, Hick- man l ever saw in a ball game.
 At least, he was bearcat against New York university on Saturday. And a couple of guys up from Tennessee for the game. told me, confidentially. of course, that Saturday Hickman seemed sorta "off" and that I should see him when he's feeling right.
 Personally, I feel like those Tennessee guys were kidding me, for right or not right, it would be downright impossible for any one man to do more things than Hick- man did against the New Workers. He made nine out of every ten Tennessee tackles, and the ones he didn't make, he helped make. He ran interference like an Army tank late for a date, and opened up holes as wide as from here to wonder for his backs. In his spare time he knocked down passes, did a little kicking, and served water and towels during time out.
 Those same Tennessee guys told me also that down Knoxville way there was very pronounced feel ing that Hickman and not highly publicized halfback, Gene McEver, was the main reason for Tennes- sees success, and that Hickman was the boy who deserted All America rating.
 Having given you one tip on how to make little sugar, 1 might as we'll give you another. Tip No. 9 Is to take battling Bat talino, featherweight champion, to take Al Singer, Friday night.
 oh, I know. some very first class chumps have taken Battalino over the ropes, but not when 1t meant anything. mister. When there's something worthwhile at stake, the Hartford hammerer can lay 1t on for anybody's money. And the bat will be shooting for shot at Tony Canzoneris lightweight title Friday, and 1t will be just too bad for Singer.
