BASKETBALL MEN
MEET SATURDAY
Lewis Institute Five Will Pre-
sent First Opposition This
Year For the NOtre Dame
Quintet.

Coach Harper gave his basketball
candidates a stiff workout yesterday
afternoon in preparation for the
opening tilt with Lewis institution
Saturday, Dec. IS. This will be the
only game before the holidays and
will serve TO give Harper some idea
of the calibre of his material. The
same policy that the gold and blue
athletic director found of such bene-
fit in football is being used on the
court Hard work and plenty of 1t
was handed the men at the very be-
ginning and this program will be kept
up throughout the season.
After a short practice in passing
and in team work Harper picked two
fives and sent them through 30 min
utes of fast play Cahill and Kenny
worked at the forwards and Kelleher
and Movers at the guards for one
quint "Rupe" Mills, the gold and
blues star six foot center failed to
report yesterday and Fitzgerald took
charge of the pivot position. Berg
mann, Henehan, Crilly. Feeney and
Smith made up the other team and
through two 15 minutes halves these
fives fought on even terms.
Cahill and Kenney, last years var
sity forwards got in some excellent
teamwork. Kenny located the basket

considers that the basketballers have
appeared but twice on the court this
year. Fitzgerald looks good at CEN
ter. His height enables him TO get
the tip-Off nearly every time and he
follows the ball we'll
Finegan and Gushurst have not yet
come out for basketball. The former
received a bad bang on the chin in
the Christian Brothers football
game and will not report for a few
days. Gushurst was troubled with a
bad sh Nulder several times during the
football season and the bruising
Texas struggle did not serve to help
ii along. The crack right end of the
football eleven will soon be in har-
ness to try for a place on the team.
With only one contest TO worry
about before Christmas the coach will
devote his entire attention to tutoring
his men in passing, shooting and
guarding and to bringing out promis-
ing material from among the scrubs.
The freshman rule that went into eff
feet this year st Notre Dame keeps
many good first year players from
competing with the varsity and Har-
per Will have to look TO the hall teams
and 10 last years reserve men for
candidates for regular berths.

NE VI CONF ERENCE
MAY Be FORMED
Marquette Authorities Anxious
to Start big Eight" if
Schools Are Turned Down
by Big Nine.

Notre Dame Will be one of the
shining lights OF the big western col
lege conference in the near future,
if plans advanced yesterday are car
ried TO a successful close.
If the South Bend university along
with Nebraska and Marquette are de-
MED admission to the Big Nine" at
the meeting to be held Saturday active
steps for the immediate organization
of another western conference will be
taken. Notre Dame is among the
eight colleges suggested for the asso-
citation. Other members under con
sideration are St. Louis, Marquette,
st. Mary's, Missouri, Nebraska
/ Creighton and St. Thomas
The idea originated at Marquette
and already officials of the institu-
tons named are comforting in regard
to the creation of the Big Eight" In
case NOtre Dame, Nebraska. and Mar
quette are denied admission to the
big nine Saturday a meeting of the
officials Of the institutions named will
be called in the near future and per-
manent plans for the organization
laid.
A majority Of the leading college
athletic authorities are of the opinion
that the gold and blue as we'll as the
western and Michigan institutions will
, not be taken into the conference. II
is generally admitted that NOtre
DANES chances for recognition are
better than ever before but that even
so they are slight.
Although the regulations Of the new
western conference If formed are not
expected 10 be as strict as those of the
older organization they will be of such
a nature TO insure advancement in the
athletic world TO all members. The
reputation OF Harper and other phys
iCal directors of the school named
promises a conference worthy of re-
Spect.
Although he could not be inter
viewed on the subject last night il is
believed that Harper would use his in
fluence for strict rules for the new
conference His past policy has been
such as to advance the chances OF his
college for recognition of the Big
Nine. With the assumption of his
duties the coach made two radical
departure from NOtre Dame custom
in insisting on scholastic standing Gus
tomary in conference colleges and did
