Kiernan, Former Hoya
Basketer, Is Added
To Brewer Squad

Coach Mack Posnack's desire to
strengthen the Heurich Brewers pro-
basket ball team with fresh material
with college experience apparently
is getting results. Latest to join the
club is Jim Herman member of last
years Georgetown quintet.
Only last Saturday Posnack an
nounced the signing of Irving .RlZzl.
captain Of last years Hoya team
that won 16 of 20 games. Kiernan's
strong point last year was his ability
to hit the basket with long outside
shots which promises to be decided
advantage in pro basket ball where
close shots are difficult to get.
Among others already lined up
with the Brewers in preparation for
the season opener Friday night at
Turner's Arena against the New
York Renaissance Club are Nat
Frankel. Ben Goldfadden, Ben
Kramer and Whitley Wilson.

Duke Ready 10 Accept

By TIC Associated Press.

DURHAM. N. c.. Nov. ia deaf
mute with locklaw is a chatterboX
compared with Coach Wallace Wade
when il comes to discussing a posi-
bic bowl invitation for his unde-
feated and united Duke eleven.
Nevertheless. there's definite
feeling AT Duke today that the Blue
Devils will accept A bid to- the Rose
Bowl. if they are invited
This is real development be-
cause up until now the talk has been
just the opposite that Duke
wouldn't consider any sort of a post
season bio
Wade himself only week ago.
was telling sports writers that he
personally was opposed to bowl
games. Presuma bly,. he still feels
that way, but now ne SAYS that he
will leave the decision up 10 the
Duke administration officials and
the players.
The officials. like Wade. don't in
tend 10 stick their necks out until
the Blue Devils receive an invita-
ton. But the players without much
prompting say they're ready and
willing TO spend their Christmas va
cation in Pasadena.
Steve Lach. No. go-guy in Dukes
backfleld, says the ma ..ority of the
players like bowling. There are a
few of the boys who are only luke
warm about the Rose Bowl. because
they have received feelerS from the
East-WeSt Game Committee and
their believe the East-West contest
is better springboard into the pro-
feSSional ranks. But, of course. those
boys would string along with the
rest of the squad. Steve says.
Coach Wade's only comment to-
day was that he felt sure Duke
wouldn't take bowl bid. if the Blue
Devils lost to N. c. State in Raleigh
on Saturday. That game will wind
up Dukes regular season schedule.
and since State has lost four games
and tied two in nine starts. the Blue
Devils should have little trouble.
Il don't think we'd want TO go to
any bowl even if We should be asked
unless We had perfect record"
said Wade.

BY lne hSSOCldleQ ITeSS
CHICAGO, Nov. l8-It may be a
rather interesting afternoon Satur-
day at South Bend when Sam
Barry, in his first year as Southern
CALIFORNIA; football coach. and
Frank Leahy. winding up his fresh
man season at Notre Dame, shoot
their teams together.
Leahy has been going to town.
His Irish have not been beaten, al
though they were held to a scoreless
tie by Army. Barry. dropped into
the drivers seat at Southern Cali
fornia by the sudden death of How
ard Jones last summer, has seen bis
Trojans scuttled four times in six
games.
So what could be sweeter for Sam
Barry than to coax his club into
upsetting the igh-fying Irish IN
their final game?
Honestly, Frank Leahy would
worry aloud If he thought iolKs
wouldn't laugh. He even broached
the possibility of Notre Dame de
feat by bringing out this piece Of
history:
"Our record doesn't quite match
the 1888 record. when Notre Dame
was undefeated and lost its final
game to the Trojans. And the
Southern California record is as
good this year as it was in 1888.
when it upset the apple cart, l3
to o."
Leahy had due cause to squlrm
last week when the Irish had
trouble defeating Northwestern, I
to 6. Afterward he said:
This was the best example of
team spirit we've shown. It's dlf-
fcult to keep a team keyed up for
three consecutive week ends against
teams like Army. Navy and North
western. It's even harder when you
have only one team. and that one
often outweighed. But they had the
old zipperoo in there at the right
time, when we needed it"
An undefeated season would be
Notre Danes first since 1930-Knute
Rockne's last year.
