scheduled to mejfct the fast Cotner
basket ball five at the Creighton gym
nasium tonight. .The floor contest :
with Cotner was arranged to take the j

and White veterans. But of the final
outcome the Creighton mentor has no
doubts. : "'
"Chuck" Kearney and Ed Haley

Captain Eddie Mullholland and How

guards, while lengthy Vic Spittler
will jump at center for Creighton.

game is expected. The first game will
