e.'sahsm of the New York Baseball
Siv Sivh hearing that the teams were ne
eas;atinc for game, has dispatched a
sssarssentatiye to each institution to

The Tribune sent telegram to the

Giants Get Busy
Nsntime. it seems that the repre-
ssntatiyes of the Giants have been
busy. and last night the following was
sent out from the offices of the local
club:
"Mr. Stoneham's representative on
thursday conferred with Athletic Di-
rsetor. Hugo Bezdek and Graduate Man.
ager Earl Fleming at State College in

Roekne the former phenomenal end.
the entire student body and especially
the team, were keen for tn game and.
although they would prefer it on the
Notre Dame field, declared New York
10 be their second choice. AS Rockne
put it: I'VE want to prove to the whole
world that our 1920 team is the very
last word in modern football."
Father Carey, chairman of the
faculty athletic committee at Notre
Dame. said he would have meeting.
Tuesday to take up the matter. Father
Carey expressed his preference to have
The game on either college field. but
others at Notse- Dame felt that if the
majority of those in authority favored
New York, Father Carey might aceui-
escs.'
Large Crowd Assured
Il the game is ultimately arranged
there isn't doubt but that capacity
crowd will attend inasmuch as football
is enjoying its greatest popularity this
year, and because Of the fact that z
spectacular contest would be assured.
Notre Dame is without doubt one OF
tbe best, if not the best, teams in the
West, while Penn State ranks with she
best in this part of the country. Both
elevens are heavy, fast, versatile. we'll
drilled and. above all, are two of the
finest hghting teams that have per
formed this year. Notre Dame showed
lts spirit against the Army when it ral-
he'd and won out IN the last quarter.
while State amply demonstrated it's
nshting qualities in earning tie with
Lehlgn IN the last period.
II Penn does not meet Notre Dame
is said that Georgia Tech will prob
ably come North to play the Western
e%, 1t is reported that the Southern
efs are willing to play in such post
season issue, and being the best eleven
IN the South there isn't any doubt but
laat the Georgians would put up
great battle against either Notre Dame
or State.
