NEW YORK, December l3.-The
-Four Horsemen" will ride again to-
morrow when Knute Roc5ne assemblies
tie the New York Giants OF the Ma
tional Professional Football League in
the metropolis final charity gridiron
contest of the year.
Led by Adam Walsh, center and cap
tain of the famous -Four Horsemen"
team and now line coach at Yale the
opening lineup of the Irish All-StarS
will include 10 of the first eleven of the
1924 team. Six of the Seven Mules
that opened the holes for Stuhldreher,
Layden, Miller and Crowley will be in
the front line. Only Johnny Weibel, a
midget guard will be absent.
Although Rockne has announced he
will start his 1924 team, he will have
plenty of other stars from more recent
teams in reserve. Frank. Carideo, ALL
American quarterback and Paul OCon-
ner. who scored two touchdowns
against Southern California, will rep
resent the 1880 undefeated team.
The Giants, rated as one of the
three best teams in the professional
league. will not lack for stars, however,
and in addition will have a decided
advantage in weight, both in the line
and backheld. Bonnie Friedman, for
mer Michigan ace, heads the long list
of college stars that make up the
Giants squad. Chris eagle, All-Amer-
lean back while at West Point, is almost
certain to get chance against the
All-Stars.
With the prospect of clear but cold
weather between 10000 and 10000 fans
are expected to pack their way into
the Polo Grounds. The game is schcd-
uled to start at 1880 pm.

HOYA CAGERS BEAT

Orioles Sweep Georgetown
Five Off Feet at Start
Once Leading, 14-2.

@OACH JOHNNY CoLRICK's
4 Georgetown University basket
Y ball team won its second con-
secutive game of the season
last night, downing the Baltimore Uni
versity tossers, 81 to 90, at the Tech
High School gymnasium.
The light, speedy visitors took the
Hoyas of guard, put on an early-game
scoring spree and succumbed only when
Paul Dillon, tall Georgetown center
got his dander up and showed a trio
of all-important baskets through the
hoop.
Even at Half.
After Capt Walter Morris had looped
foul shot to give the Hilltoppers a
lead at the start, the crimson clad
orioles, with a penchant for sinking
pot shots, unleashed an attack which
fairly bowled the HoyaS of their feet.
After 10 minutes of the melee, the
Baltimore boys led, IA to g.
Johnny Bozek's little brother, Emil,
inserted into the game at this point
for Dillon with Shea moving over to
center, woke up the Blue and Gray
quint with a pair of baskets and a
couple of fouls. The half ended with
the count 17-all
Again it was Emil Bozek who started
the fireworks in the second half. Emil
cut and dribbled swiftly through the
surprised Baltimore team for q score
and Morris followed suit. Shea fol-
lowed up a missed shot to give the
Hoyas a commanding lead.
Chandler Leads Attack.
Coach Colrick, who inserted Dillon in
the lineup at half, after his veteran
center had fouled Vic Heilaker three
times in the opening going, saw Hell
laker again break away from Dillon
twice in succession for baskets, to
bring the total to 81 to 30 in the
Hoya's favor.
At this point Dillon stepped out with
a foilow-up shot for basket after a
teammates try went awry. A mo-
ment later, Paul duplicated the feat
and followed this with his third basket,
a lightning dribble, 20 seconds before
the end of the game.
Patsy Chandler, fleet forward of the
Oriole team, led the attack with four
field goals and foul shot.
Bill Shea, Emil Bozek and Dillon
were the main contributors to the Hoya
total, while Johnny ScalI played q
sparkling floor game.
