Blue Bows
in Contest
With Irish
Donovan, De Cook Shine
for Notre Dame Against
Butler Rivals.

MAKE way for the skipper, :"
! yelled the Notre Dame net team at
Butler f1eldhouse Friday night, and
the Butler Bulldogs were puzzled as
| Captain Donovan rushed over the
/ floor to Snag four field baskets and
stepped to the foul line to toss six
charity shots for a total of fourteen
individual points. Thus he ma
terially aided the Irish to gain a
% to 20 triumph.
Donovan and a lanky lad named
De Cook, who played center in the
second half and scored four field
baskets, were the main cogs in a
fast passing attack that seemed
superior to the Bulldogs play. The
score at half time was 9-8 Notre
Dame.
Bulldog rooters were happy as
Evans Snagged a short basket right
after the first toSSup. Donovan tied
the count from the foul strip, but
Allen kept the Butler five in the
lead with a free toss. Donovan sent
the Irish into the lead from the
field, but Evans again tied the count
with a side court shot, SIS. Dono-
van connected with another and
O'Connell Snagged beautiful bas-
ket as he crashed under the hoop,
making it 9, but Butler crept up to
eight points with free losses as the
half ended.
Coach Keogan inserted De Cook
into the fray in the second half
and when the Irish teamwork i'm
proved and Donovan continued his
accuracy from the field and foul
line, and additional strength of De
Cook and his four field baskets
ultimately meant the eight-point
margin of victory. A basket by De
Cook just after the gun cracked was
ruled out.
At one time in the second half
the count was 20-11. Here the de-
termined efforts of Coach Hinkle's
men deserves praise, for they drove
up to within four points of tie,
24-20, aided by the excellent shoot
ing of Reynolds, who went into the
game in the middle of the second
half and scored two field goals and
three fouls for seven points. De
Cook, however, came through with
two buckets" and the party was
over. The game was hard fought,
twenty-eight personal fouls being
called.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-More
than half the New York Giants
squad of forty players is composed
of new talent, but only a few of the
twenty-one newcomers appear more
than ordinary prospects.
However. with his faculty for un-
covering young stars, John McGraw
may have another Melvin OFT or
Freddy Lindstrom packed away
among his unimposing array of
rockies or players up for another
major trial. Eight of the new group
are free agents and have no records.
The six best of the new crop appear
to be:
Eddie Marshall, young iniieIder recalled
from Bridgeport, Eastern league. Batted
.316 last season.
George Fisher, outfeIder from Buffalo,
international league. Batted 1888 last sea-
son.
Sam Leslie. first baseman from Memphis
an outfielder by McGraw. Batted 1916 last
season.
Hub Pruett, sOuthpaw pitcher from
Newark, international league. Won 10,
lost Z. last season.
Leroy Paramslee. pitcher from Toledo
American Association. Won IL, lost IA,
last season.
Joe Heving. pitcher from Memphis. Won
Il, lost 10, last season.
The Giants can use all SIX OF
these recruits as they need players
to patch up their ranks at second
base, in the outf1eld and pitching.
Lobert Praises Marshall
Marshall and Fisher may turn up
as regulars in the Giants ranks on
April Is. Marshall played brilliant
~ for the Bridgeport club and Hans
Lobert, who had Marshall under his
tutelage, thinks the youngSter is
ready to step into a regular job.
Andy Reese, who was hampered by
an injured foot last season, will
compete with Marshall for the key
stone position.
Fisher was ranked as the best
throwing outflelder in the minor
leagues last season and he is GER
tain to make strong bid. The
Giants infield is settled at three
places, with Terry at first, Jackson
at short and Lindstrom at third.

Severed Two Years AGO

Football relations between Butler
and De Paw universities were sew
cred two years ago, when De Paw
joined with Wabash college in re-
fusal each year to come to Butler
stadium and play gridiron games
The severance, however, applied only
to football and schedules were con-
tinued in other sports.
Last spring athletic directors of
the three schools, w. L. Hughes at
De Pauw, Harry Scholler at Wabash
and George (Potsy) Clark met and
agreed that football games would be
played last season under the round
robin schedule system, Butler Wis
iting each school every other year
and one of the two playing at But
Ter each year.
Previous to the games last fall
argument arose over the f1ve-year
rule, and some of Buffers stars were
ruled from competition against De
Paw and Wabash and some con-
troversy arose about others on the
Butler team. Alumni of the schools
never were wholly satisfied with the
renewal of football relations and
bitter rivalry arose.
Hildebrand Case BObs Up
The recent episode which resulted
in Oral Hildebrand, star Butler bas-
ketball center and baseball pitcher,
being declared ineligible because of
alleged professionalism opened the
breach wider, because DE Paw Off
Gals were charged with uncovering
the information that Hildebrand
pitched Sunday baseball at Brazil,
Ind, last summer for $40 a game.
Indianapolis alumni of both
schools have engaged in heated ar
guments over the Hildebrand case,
but the decision o. the De Paw
athletic board comes as a surprise,
as it was felt that Butler coaches
and athletic board has taken the
Hildebrand decision as one that
could not be avoided.
AthertOn Surprised
Jack Atherton, chairman of the
Butler university athletic board,
said Friday that news of the De
Paw action came as a great sur
prise and that he was much dis
turbed to hear of it.
Butler officials felt that Hide
brand had violated rule of the
Indiana college conference without
knowledge of Butler officials.

all to himself. Roushs baseball flu
ture is uncertain. If he returns in
good shape, he may divide duty
with Fullis. Leach is the only other
outfielder who was with the Giants
last season.
Only seven pitchers - Benton,
Hubbell, Walker, Fitzsimmons, Gene
wich, Scott and Judd-who were
with the Giants last season are
back. Of the ten new pitchers,
Pruett, Parmalee and Heving look
like the best prospects. Pruett,
Nemesis of Babe Ruth when he was
with the st. Louis Browns several
seasons back, may make the Giants
another stellar southpaw to add to
Walker and Hubbell.
Three Huge Rockies
McGraw picked the Giant Par
malice himself after watching him in
action last season with Toledo. The
Giants have two other huge rookie
pitchers. They are Joe ViSotski,
220-pounder recently awarded the
Giants by Commissioner Lands,
and Jim Tenant from the York
(Pa0 Club, who weighs 100 and
measures over 6 feet.
The additions to the Giants
catching staff of Frank Hogan and
Bob OFarrell are two free agents,
Francis Healey, IS, from Holyoke,
and Francis La Vogue, 10, from
Berkeley, Cal.
Among the other giant newcom-
ers are Dave Bancroft, cast adrift
by Brooklyn and signed as coach
and utility infielder; Harvey Ballew,
second baSeman from San Antonio;
Lou Allen, inhelder from Wilkes
Barre; Ray Fitzgerald, outf1elder
from Springfield eastern League;
Art Veltman, cutfelder recalled
from Bridgeport; Ray Lucas, pitcher
from Toledo, and Wa1lie Brush,
pitcher from Tampa.

RELATIONS Of
TWO SCHOOLS
ARE SEVERED

BIZ United Press
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Feb. Is
De PAW university. at meeting
of its athletic committee, took
action to sever relations with But
Ter university.
A letter announcing this decision
was mailed Friday to DR.. Robert j.
Alley. president of Butler, by DR..
G. Bromley Oman, president OF
De Paw.
The severance of relations Is eE-
fectiye Immediately and will can
eel a basketball game scheduled at
Butler Feb. 81 and football game
between the two schools next fall.
Relations Were Strained
Relations between the two schools
have been strained despite the fact
that renewal of athletic relations
had been made little more than a
year ago, after a break in 1927.
Explanation was made that action
of the De Paw athletic committee
was taken with no feeling of ami
mostly, and that it would be better
to sever relations with a view of
renewing them when the two
schools could meet on less strained
grounds.
