The truth of the rnatter is that as yet, the university officials have released no furt her word on the subject of basketball other than the fact that there definitely will be a team. Seems to inc that at the rate things are going, We ought to have a good team even tho' the odds are very much against it at the present time. Phil 'antore is drilling about 30 boys every night from six o 'lock to eight o'clock in the field house. As near as we can find out, only Cy Waldrop returns from last year's squad al though Pat Thrash is expected to be on hand soon. The boys are drilling oni a fast break and ball handling. C'eorge Wallace, freshrman, V-12, from New Trier High, Winnetlia, .1ll., is currently the team's best. shot. Bob Baggott, Ed Daly, and Beaeh lwighton, all products of Illinois high schools are showing up well in practices. Cantore and Ary are the only other boys whe have had college experience in the cage sport before, be sides Waldrop and 'I'hrash.
