JUNK FROM SQUAD
Thirteen Men Depart Friday
TO Meet Badger Track
Team Today.

cd with ) men Friday evening for
Madison. where his crew meets Wis
consin IN a dual track meet Satur-
day afternoon. Injuries and schol-
astic dtscrcdit kept the squad from
being larger.
Desch. Murphy. Wynne Shaw.
Capt. Kasper. Montague. McBarnes,
Banner. Falvey, Flynn. Mulcahy
and Colgan are the l 5 men who viii
enter II events in an effort 10 down
the Badger tribe. The difficulty of
their task ia increased by the over
whelming defeat which Wisconsin
contributed to the Northwestern
cinder patters last week. and while
the possibility Of victory is admitted.
against a strong team is one OF
those things that seldom happen.
Desch, Wynne and Ficks Will car
~ the major part OF the y. d. bur
den. Although his favorite low hur-
dies will not be run. Desch will ar
pear in the 4O-yard dash. quarter
mile. relay and possibly the high
hurdles. Wynne is a big bet in the
high hurdles and even money in
broad jump as the only local en-
trant. F'icks will race in the 40
yard dash, quarter mile and relay
Murphy I'm Race.
The ability of Buck Shaw 70 toss
the iron ball and the improving
form shown by his first lieutenant,
Flynn arouse large hopes in the
shot put which are Immediately
dampened by the fact that Wiscon-
sin has two 12-foot pole vaulters
who will probably win from Fall
vey. the only local leaper. Capt.
Kasper and Montague are booked
for the half mile. Colgan. F'icks and
Desch for the quarter; McBarnes in
the mile. and Baumer in the two
mile. The work of Montague an /
McBarnes will be watched with
| considerable interest. as both boys
have the marks OF corners.
Johnny Murphy will be with the
team for his first start since suf-
fering a knee injury at the legion
games in Boston two weeks ago.
The bad knee may hamper his work
considerably but first place is al
most a mathematical certainty in
this event with Mulcahy threatening
| for second.
Wisconsin Is represented by an
unusually strong aggregation OF
| thinly clads who demonstrated their
ability by swapping Northwestern
last week. The squad which Rock
ne carted to the enemy field is ex-
ceedingly small and no bright hopes
OF victory are entertained at Notre
Dame. Thirteen men for II events
will require considerable doubling,
and IL the local boys bring home a
victory il will indicate n considera-
Bile versatility on the part of Wynne.

perlativ work by the squad as =

LEGION PRELIMS
UNDER WAY TODAY
Elimination Process Starts to
Line Up Teams For State
Clash Here.

The opening rounds in the state
American legion basketball tourna-
ment will start early at the various
sectional meets over the state to-
day. The winners of the Is dis
tricts wiz assemble at the local Y.
VI. c. A. next Friday and Saturday,
where the state meet is to be held.
Four cities will compete in the
local sectional meet here today to
decide the representative OF this
district in the state meet. Bremen
and Goshen will tangle in the open
ing game at o'clock this after
noon and South Bend and Goshen
will meet in the second round at
o'clock. The winners of these two
games will come together in the
finals at o'clock tonight in the
local gymnasium.
The dope favors the local crew
in today's tourney and it is believed
that this city will have more than
a fighting chance to cop the state
banner. South Bend will be rep
resented by a picked team from the
Y. VI. C. A. five, the Notre Dame
quintet and from several local stars
now attending college. The city's
best artists of the indoor sport will
be sent into the fracas.
