Bluejay Squad to Stage Light Final Workout ALIGHT workout last night left the Creighton cage team well rounded into shape for the contest tonight with the Drake Bull nog*. Jt is the last home game for the squad until late In January. The coach used his men sparingly during the workout in an effort to keep them as fresh as possible for the clash with the husky Iowans. The Bluejay* have been hammer ing away at the freshman In two weeks of strenuous practice since the disastrous Invasion of Minne sota December 22, when the Oma bans came out of the fracas holding the short end of a 29-to-24 score. Since that date Coach Schabinger has put the spurs to his Hilltoppers. and the Bluea will be in tip top shape for the Saturday evening scrap. Up on the big hill, where the varsity and freshman scrimmage nightly, wearers of the Blue, who have been watching the workouts, are conjec turing as to who will be Captain John ny Trautman'i running mate in the Drake game. Frank Ryan, a latterman from last year's squad, got the call In the first game of the season, and toward the end of th# game was relieved by Brown, a diminutive basketeer from Council Bluffs. Brown played a great gam* while he was In the lineup, and since then Coach Schabinger has used both men alternately in the nightly wjrkouts. Ryan's height snd variety experi ence will probably Influence the Blue mentor In picking his starting Blue met nor in picking his starling lineup for th# Drake game, buc Brown might be seen in th* start ing array. "Ike" Mahoney seems to have h'e center job tacked onto him like a pension, and much is expected ut the bis fellow Saturday. "Ike" did not shine with his u*ua! brilliance in the Minnesota game from a ba.sket-shootlng standpoint, but the pessimist# must remember that his floorwork was above re proach and that he handled th# leather beautifully. Spelcher and Corneman have had lots of work along th# two week prac tice route, and Schabinger believes that hla brace of barrlcadere will be ab’s to stand up before the attacks of the Bulldogs.
