Under the reorganization the com- | mittee is made up of a member from ~ach of eight distri stablished by he collegiate nembers at large.

NEW YORK, December 30.—The National Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion is back in the Olympic fold. By unanimous vote it passed the following resolution yesterday: “Being assured that the tryouts for the Olympic games of 1928 will be con- ducted on the basis of 1924, we recom- mend that in the interest of interna- tional amity and international sport that the association accept the invi- tation of the president of the Olympic -ommittee to resume membership in ihe American Olympic Association.” The collegiate group bolted the Olympic ranks a year ago at Wash- ngton along with the National Ama- teur Athletic Federation, the Y. M. «*. A. and the Western Conference. The federation agreed to rejoin the Olympic body on Wednesday, and the other two organizations are expected 10 take similar action in the near future.

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 affray. Light in weight, the Dartmouth team has plenty of potential speed. | Teamwork and passing were a trifle | ragged in early season warm-ups, but | Coach Lew Wachter counted on the annual Christmas trip through Ohio | and New York to get the boys work- | ing together and develop smoothness. | | While the burden of the title de- | fense probably will be borne largely | | by the seven letter men on the squad. | ‘mere is plenty of reserve material | available which may get a chance un: | der fire.
