Although the playing OF the mi

forwards, are developing into ac-
curate basket ringers in addition to
playing a fine defensive game.
Potter and Hansen. reserve men,
are capable OF substituting at any
time without damaging the team

After the Notre Dame game is
out OF the way, Coach Ruby will
start preparations for the clash with
Butler college of Indianapolis here
on January 2. With a victory over
Wisconsin, Butler appears SIS a

give his men nearly everything in

President Heydler told the National

IRISH MAY CLASH
WITH WEST POINT
AT POLO GROUNDS
Tierney Says Teams That
Played on Giants Field in
1922 Want TO Return.
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-the Polo

games with which New York g. fav-

tiers OF the New York Giants.
However. Ia view OF the seCmly
list OF prospective games he out

ting or be satisfied with tho dregs.
According 10 James the same
teams that appeared az the Polo
grounds in 1922, have asked for re-
turn engagements and are not al
together certain OF being obliged
owing to the fact that Notre Dame.
Center college and other attractive
entries are seeking dates with the
Giant management. There seems 20
be something OF Q rumOr afioat that
Notre Dame I'D the Army. fsr from
severing relations. are endeavorng
TO have their attraction transferred
from West Point to the Polo
grounds as a matter OF financial eN-
pedienCy. All that stands in the way
James intimates. IS the granting OF
oh1cial consent AZ West Point lie

understood that the Colonies have
been content TO put forward what IS
inelegsntly known as "feeler." The
possibility that they may be feel

capped Mr.. Tierney. however.
The chances are good. indeed. that

New York debut at the Yankee stad-
ium. seating $4,000, rather than az
the Polo grounds. which. even when
enlarged, viii not exceed a capacity

The Yankee officials, in any case,
