fastest seen on the local floor this
year
During the first half the Michi-
ganders led the way most of the time
and were only forced 10 give up their
lead when the gold and blue threw
q wonderful burst of steam as the
period closed.
Polish seminary were the first 70
break into the point column when
Danilak registered a goal from the
foul line after three minutes Of hard
Tighting. For time, neither team
could locate the hoop, the gold and
blue men missing shots time after
time when baskets seemed certain.
Hard luck In shooting was most
prominent for the ball often circled
the basket and then dropped outside.
Captain CahiIl put Notre Dame in the
lead with a clever toss but Danilak
came back strong and chalked up two
more foul goals.
A sensational overhead throw by
Mills made the count four 10 three
for Notre Dame. Danilak made IT
four for his team on another foul,
but Joe Kenny promptly brought
Notre Dame to the fore with a clean
basket from midfeld Danilak ran
in a basket from the field and then
brought his teams total TO ten with
two more counters from the foul line
With bit a few minutes TO play and
the score 10 TO six, Notre Dame cut
loose with wonderful squirt.
N. ID. Starts a Rally.

shot from deep field. and took a
quick. sharp pass from Cahill TO even
the count at 10 ALL Big Rupe
Mills then butted IN with two baskets
in succession and just before time was
called Finegan dribbled down the
floor and passed to Cahill who got the
final basket. The. half ended in Notre
Danes favor Is to 10 In the last
three minutes OF play the gold and
blue had totaled 10 points.
Keileher replaced Mowers at guard
for Notre Dame IN the second half
ant the battle royal was on again.
Kenny started things I'm the FIRST min
ute OF IIay and from that time on No
ire Dame was never headed. Mills
counted a moment after Kenny, and
the latter gent then ran in another
basket. Kelleher was responsible for
both OF these scores as his clever
passing worked the ball down the
floor. Kenny tailed on a long shot at
this time. Polish seminary broke
into the point column when their
center Gagged the ball from the deld.
Soon the visitors began TO tire and
Notre Dame chalked up four consecu-
tive baskets. Kelleher started the
raid on the basket with n long throw.
Mills kept up the good work with
two baskets and Kenny ran in an
other after a bit OF phantom drib-
bling. The speed boy then retired
with six baskets to his credit anc |
Bergman took the forward JOB for /,
the gold and blue.
Polish seminary rallied for time |
and counted three straight goals from
the field but their attack was checked |
before they became dangerous. No
tire Dame finished with a gala rush in |
which Cahill. Mills, Kelleher and |
Finegan figured most prominently |
for the locals.
Locals show Strong.
Every man on the varsity roster |
was star in last nights tilt. "Rupe'
Mills led the attack with seven bask- 4
cts, Joe Kenny trailing him closely |
with six. Capt. Cahill landed four
but Il was his passing that was the
biggest asset in NOtre's scoring. KEEL
leher proved the surprise OF the even |
ing by landing two baskets from the
field. Kelleher. Finegan and Mowers /
guarded their men very closely and |
seldom did the Polish seminary men /
pierce the NOtre Dame defense con-
sistently.
Danilak was nearly the whole
works for the visitors. This clever
forward kept his team in the fight by
baEgfng three-fOurths OF their points
His eve for the basket never wav-
cred. He chalked up four baskets
from the field and registered eight out
OF 10 from the foul line
Under Harper's careful tutelage the
gold and blue have developed some
clever teamwork that never failed to
carry them up TO the basket for
points. The shooting Of the men has
also wonderfully improved and the
fans are beginning to breathe easier
