Creighton university's -"varsity"
basket bait quintet will Ret its real
lest of the season tonight when it
meets the Notre Dame squad of
South Hentl. Jncl.. on the Creiehtoti
iloor. The contest is scheduled to
Itart at 8:.i0 o clock.
From all indications, one of the
largest crowd of court fans that has
vcr attended a basket ball game in
Omaha will be on dock this evening
io witness the Iloosicrs and the Blue
md White basket re rs chase each
nfchcr from one end of the court to
he other. Nearly all of the reserved
seats have been sold. The general
admission ducats will go on sale just
before the doors open.
Creijrhton's stock jumped a notch
vesterday when it was announced
that "Jim" Lovely, forward, will ap
pear in a uniform tonight'. The local
hoopster has been on the sick list,
nd although he will not play the en
tire game, there is no doubt but what
he will be substituted before the
final whistle.
In meeting the Notre Dame quin
tet the locals will not buck up against
a soft snap. The Indiana tossers are
not considered soft picktn's by east
ern teams and the Blue and White
players will no doubt discover this
before the game is many minutes
ntH
Coach llalas' team won the first
five panics of the season, and then
lost to Wabash. De Pauw. Michigan
Aggies, Western State Normal and
Marquette. Last week Notre Dame
turned the tables on the Western
quintet and handed the latter a 24 to
19 drubbing on the Hoosier floor.
The following afternoon the South
Bend squad trounced the Armour
Tech. 59 to 15.
According to reports trom the
Notre Dame camp, the cause of the
Hoosier's sudden turn from defeats
to victories is due to the fact that
.Coach Halas has made a switch in
his lineup.
