GONE one the other day asked
y whether there wasn't a team
somewhere that could stop Notre
Dame, so Blackboard peeked into
the cage schedule department and
came out with the crack that there
are several potential stumbling
blocks for the Irish, but whether
any of them will trip up George
Keogan's men is something else.
Notre Dame will play Pittsburgh
in the Smoky City tomorrow night,
intent on stretching its victory
string into twenty-three in a row.
The dope should favor Notre Dame.
Butler downed Pitt, and so did Pur-
due. and Notre Dame defeated both
the Bulldogs and the. Boilermakers.
If Moose Krause and his mates
get by Doc Carlson's PantherS they
shouldn't have any further difficulty
until the Minnesota tilt at Notre
Dame, Feb. 6. Chicago, Valparaiso
and Detroit university are sand
wiched between the Panthers and
the Gophers on the Irish schedule.
The other Notre Dame opponents
this season, following Minnesota,
are: Xavier, Temple, a return tilt
with Pitt, Michigan State, Butler
in Indianapolis, Ohio State, Mar
quette, and a return engagement
with Minnesota. Pitt, Michigan
State, Butler, Ohio State, Mar
uuette and Minnesota all are seri-
Gus threats to the Irish clean slate.
WELL probably get a real test
w of Buffers cage proves Sat-
urday night when Creighton comes
to the north side field house.
Creighton always has great quin-
tets, and is undefeated this year. 1t
will be Buffers second Missouri
Valley Conference game.
The Bulldogs are not up to their
usual form this season. The only
important game they've won was
from Pitt, and Purdue, Indiana
Central, Wisconsin and Notre Dame
all have cracked the Blue five.
IT'S rumored here and there that
i Everett Dean, Indiana univer-
sity basketball mentor, refused
young fortune to bring his Crimson
basketeers to the Butler field house
this season, and most of the people
who've heard about it agree that
Everett was afraid his cagerS
couldn't make the grade against the
Bulldogs. Right now it looks as if
the HooSiers could have collected
another win and nice profit all
in one evening.
What = brand of defensive basketball
the Southwest Missouri Teachers and the
Pittsburgh Teachers must have staged the
other evening. The Missouri outfit won,
TO 6.
There was a time within Backboards
memory when the ladies not only watched
but participated in basketball encounters.
high school circles, but there still are a
few teams left. A girls tourney is to be
held in connection with the Porter coun-
~ tournament.
MAYBE our young friend over on
WI the news staff wasn't as dippy
as we thought him when he pre-
dicted great things for the Ben Da-
Wis five. Here's communication in
support of his idea, anyway:
Blackboard.
"Just a friendly warning TO local and
county high schools-the roster Of the Ben
Davis high school basketball team is said
to contain the names Of twelve players,
eleven juniors and one sophomore. It
looks like q good bet for next year. to
say the least. "REB."
Kokomo's hopes for . regional victory
are boosted by the belief that IN three
games Between evenly matched teams,
one FIVE can't win all the time. Marion
