With but two weeks intervening
before the opening game Of the coll

Walter Halas OF the Notre Dame
nine has arranged 20 pit his charges
a6inst trial horses from the best
local amateur talen in q series
OF four games. Goat Anderson's
opener of the season i'm the first OF
these games on Sunday afternoon
at o'clock
No admission Will be charged for

mirers Of both teams am opportuu-
ity 20 GLIMPSE the best Of local dia-
mCnd talent i'm action; and while
season games do not always offer
glittering performances they usual
~ uncover plenty of spirited compe-
ton among the players fighting fo-
jobs. The case of the Notre Dame
squad of this year is especially in
teresting from this angle and Halas
himself is very much I'm the pos
ton OF the man from Missouri
ready and willing 90 be shown.
The local mentor in his first sea-
son at Notre Dame. has faced the
additional handicap of handling "a
team shot by graduation and fac
ulty inelgibility rulings, and draw
ing to but three veterans has shut
fled his material i'm various COM
binations which have not yet re-
turned a pat hand. The sOciable
little game Will be continued in the
later games which have been ar
ranged with Elkhart and South
Bend amateurs.
Capt Johnny Mohardt is the only
man definitely anchored on the
squad. The doughty leader will
prowl around center pasture for a
certainty, but other positions are
subject 10 the showing made in the
preseason games.
Hector Carney. Paul Cashier and
Red Murphy have been thinning the
works. and when this trio gets set
tied the remainder Of the outfit will
fall into place quickly. Cashier is
no mean southpaw in the pitching
box. but the way ne has been slam
ming the pill in practice has caused
Halas to consider him as a possible
| first baseman or outfieider. Muir
ply meets the ball with a clean
crack which is music TO the ears Of
I his coach. and is making a strong
] bid for a position i'm the outfield IL
crowded off the third sack, where
he has been working. Garvey has
! been alternating at catcher and first
base with Blievernicht

Hunk Anderson has mUddled the
catching situation by making a
! strong bid for the job. and If Blieb
is anchored on the first sack Halas
will have a sweet time picking re-
4 ceivers from Carey. McCarty, Noss,
Curtain and Anderson. The pitch
ing staff is still up in the air. Fal-
vey, Steinle and Foley viii probably
draw the assignments Sunday

have thanked Mohardt in the right

Martin in the left Barry. Murphy
and Morgan hold the edge. with
