Though the NOtre Dame basketball
schedule has not yet been completed
the dates or this years eastern trip
were announced yesterday. The In
vasion OF the east by the basketball
team is a following out Of the policy
OF the gold and blue school 10 look
to the east for her big contests. For
the last two years the baseball team
has played eastern games and in foot
ball this fall the varsity triumphed
over Penn State and West Point.
During the week beginning Feb. 3,
six games will be played, the majority
OF them with the best teams in the
east. At Ithaca the varsity will stack
up against Cornell, last years cham
pions of the Eastern intercollegiate
basketball league. The pig reu
school has a veteran team on the floor
this year and the winning or TINS
fray will mean as much TO the gold
and blue in the court game as did the
victory over West Point on the grid
iron. Should Cornell duplicate its
record OF last season and again top
the best teams in the east. Notre
Dame will be IN line for the national
championships
VIII Meet Colgate.
On the night following the Cornell
game Notre Dame will meet Colgate
az Hamilton. n. Y. Colgate has al
ways been represented by a very fast
Ia
notchers IN the east. The varsity
baseball team trimmed the Maroons
three TO nothing last May and the 10
cal basketball men are anxious 10
keep up the good work by triumphing
on the court. The varsity is apt to
strike a snag at Colgate. however, for
the Maroon court is cigar box affair.
IL is very small and will especially
handicap the locals because they have
been used to playing on the large
court I'm the big gymnasium. Col
gates small court and the ability or
her men to shoot from any part Of the
floor has often brought victory TO the
MaroOns even when they were up
against a superior team
Syracuse and St. Lawrence In New
York state should also be big games.
Both OF these ives have strong teams
yearly and NOtre Dame Will have TO
travel fast to come away with a
have a stiff schedule this year. At
present the eastern games are all that
are definitely fixed. The rest of the
schedule will be out in q short time.
Pl'ska Reports.
Joe PIislxa Of the 1913 football team
reported for basketball yesterday.
Joe IS "A guard OF good calibre and
viii make things interesting for the
men who are trying for back positions
on the varsity. He has played with
COrbv hall for two years and the hall
men have turned out teams nearly as
strong as has the varsity. Last win
ter they took a three game series
from the G. A. c. gymnasium of South
Bend.
Coach Harper ordered another
practice game for Yesterdays work
ened by kelleher and Finegan, were in
the lead for they threw two baskets
before the varsity men could break
into the scoring. 1t took the varsity
five minutes TO get started but when
they did open up Kenny and Mills
dropped in baskets with ease. Speedy
Joe Kenny heaved two baskets almost
from the center OF the floor and also
scored by some fast work under the
basket. The Oass work OF the varsity
men is improving and the team should
be In good shape for the opening
game Saturday.

practice yesterday. Twenty men were
on the Job and in a few days this
number should be doubled. Several
