Sternest Tests Facing Two
OF Five Unbeoten Teams
Holy Cross Meeting
Upset-Minded Irish
By the A.soeiated Pres,

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-two
Of the Nations five major un.
beaten college basketball teams
face their sternest tests of the
season tonight. The other three
aren't scheduled.
Holy Cross, ranked sixth in
the country IN the Associated
Press poll, meets Notre Dame in
Boston and George Washington,
No. Z, engages Maryland. The
ranking teams each. have un-
broken strings of II games.
Holy Cross lost to the Irish by
two points last year in their only
previous meeting and may be
handicapped tonight by the
physical condition of high
scoring Togo Palazzi. Togo went
to the inflrmary yesterday with
a mild case of the grippe, but the
doctors said he should be avail
able for some action.
Boston Garden Sold Out.
While Madison Square Gar
den groans about poor turnouts
for college basketball, the Bos-
ton Garden management gloats
over a 13.909 sellout for tonight's
doubleheader. A Tufts-St. Mi
chael'e preliminary will precede
the Holy Cross-Notre Dame
game.
Holy Cross has high hopes Of
making Notre Dame pay dearly
for last years 1911 victory, de-
cided by two last-minute foul
shots.
Notre Danes two setbacks in
nine games this season were by
Indiana. 66-65. and Bradley. IA
72. But the Irish overwhelmed
New York University, 1864. and
Holy Cross had to battle the
Violets most of the way before
topping them, 1856.
When the Notre Dame squad
arrived here by plane last night,
Coach Johnny Jordan reported
that Capt. Dick Rosenthal, who
has averaged 17.2 points per
game. has been weakened by q
recent intestinal grippe attack
and was a doubtful starter. He
and Joe Bertrand are regarded
as Notre Danes most danger

what he considers the best bas-

Only one game was scheduled
last night and that was post
poned. Catholic u. and Balti-

Dixon Conference game in Bal
timore because of The weather.
A full house of 1000 fans is
expected to turn out to see
whether the control-minded
TerpS can contain the high
powered Colonials, regarded as
the seventh best team in the
Nation by voters in this weeks

The consensus is the Terps
won't be able to. CIV was held
to be about a six-point favorite
in most quarters. That margin
has been lesSened by the fact
that Maryland is home and that
its showdown methods are apt
to cut into GW's game average
Of 84.5 points.
This promises to be Reinhart's S
most successful year as a bas-
ketball coach. He came to CIV
from oregon in 1885 and in the
next eight seasons ran up a rec
ord Of 100 victories and 38 losses.
But Reinhart was called into

Now in the fifth season of his

expected to achieve his goal of

Colonials are top-heavy favorites
to take the Southern Conference
title and many expect them to

ing at terms.
And sources close to the
Yankees reported that Mickey
Mantle. their young outfielder,
was dissatisfied with the con-
/ tract he was offered. However
nothing official has been heard
from him.
Thus the Yankee players joined
a long list lin both leagues OBJ
jecting to terms, among them
Pitcher Bob Porterf1eld. First
Baseman Mickey Vernon and q
half dozen others with the Sen

Cal Griffith, vice president of

that "Porterf1eld has been paid

Only Two Yankees Signed.
So far, the Yankees have only
two players under contract

both of whom were not around

Robinson signed a two-year con-
tract with the Athletics last year.

No figures were revealed as
usual. but Berra is reported seek

than he was offered. McDougald
would like $4,000. Mantle is re-
ported shooting for $25, 900. about
$1,000 more than last year.

Meanwhile. two of the National
Leagues top hitters signed con-
tracts. The Dodgers announced
they had signed Duke Snider.

Snider no doubt received a fat
