DOUBLE HEADER
At NOTRE DAME
M. A. C. Track and Baseball
Squads Will Meet Gold and
Blue Here Today.

There will be plenty Of action on
Cartier field at Notre Dame this af-
ternOOn commencing promptly at
1880 o'clock and lasting for four or
hve hours thereafter. A track meet
and a baseball game between teams
from NJ A C.. and Notre Dame will
furnish a variety of sport seldom
witnessed in one day on the same
field The track meet will start at
1870 p. m, and the ball game will
be at $3.50.
Notre Dame is out to win both
contests. on the track her chances
are distinctly problematical. Moth
ing is known whatsoever about the
track material at the Lansing
SC hool but it is hardly possible that
il can be much scantier than the
material Coach Rockne of the gold
and blue squad has had TO worry
along with since the outbreak Of
war Every last Notre Dame man
on the track squad is out to win to-
day for the simple reason that not
taste of victory has come his way
this season. Two dual meets with
the University of Illinois and one
with University of Michigan have
been productive of three defeats
and the gold and blue have no par
ticular desire of continuing their
record Of straight defeats.
GiIhIIan i'm Condition.
Gilfllan will be nearly in perfect
condition after suffering from a
wrenched knee for two weeks fol
lowing his costly accident in the
broad jump at the Pennsylvania re
lay games at Philadelphia the last
Saturday in April. He is entered in
a host of event, and there is good
reason TO believe that he can place
in any or all Of them. Patterson Is
doped to race Capt Muligan close
in the dashes and that is sure to
give Notre Dame d good start at the
opening of the meet.
McGinnis is not in the best Of
shape for the broad jump, but it is
believed that either he or Gillian
will record leap that will be suffi-
Client TO win. The pole vault will be
ably taken care of by Rademacher
and Powers, who have been showing
good form this weeh.
Out 10 Corral Maximum.
Harbert and Insley will represe 1t
Notre Dame in the quarter mile, and
the former is on; TO win 1t is not
certain how Rockne will run his
distance men in the half mile, mile,
and two mile. He has only Sweeney,
van wonterghen and Call, and he
has got to figure so they will gather
maximum of points. Sweeney -
doped TO set new Cartier field rec
ord in the two-mile if the wind s
not too high and the temperature
too cold. Harbert is to run the half
mile with Call or Van Wonterghen.
HAYES. NIcGinnis and McGrain are
liable to take all three places in the
iaveIin throw while HOltOn IS bent
on scoring points in the weight
events. He will be assisted by Gill
fllan.
Nine Is Ready for Fray
In the place Of consistently
beaten team that will face the Az
gies on the track Coach Harper VIII
take a baseball team on the field 20
meet them that has nothing but a
long record of Victories behind Il.
Last Saturday at Lansing Notre
Dame trimmed the Aggies, but We're
forced TO pound out six runs in tbs
ninth inning TO turn the trick.
Harper hopes TO have the decision
no longer in doubt when the ninth
inning opens this afternoon. His
wreckine crew. headed by Capt.
Wolf Sioberg and Philbin. can be
relied upon to he heading a terrific
assault on any pitcher NJ. A. G. may
send TO the mound
It will he one Of the few re-
naming chances TO see what a won
darfuI little fghting machine Coach
Harper has succeeded in assembling
from the smallest amount Of ma
ter:al he mas had 70 deal with since
coming to Notre Dame FIVE years
