NO. 1 CAGE BATTLE ON ATGARDEN NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Two of the Nation’s most powerful bas teams—the colorful and onc en Ramblers of Notre Dame and the equally one-time defeated Ne: York University Violets—clash to- night in this town’s “game of the year.” Comparable to the annual Notre Dame-Army football classic hicl packs the ball parks to the bu point, this 12-year-old c t 1i ry has taken on all the gla its gridiron counterpart and r moth Madison Square Garden has long been sold out of its 18,000 plus capacity In addition, thousands were turn- ed away and scalpers were doing a rushing business asking and getting as much as $15 per for end arena seats regularly priced at $1.75. Although both teams boast al- most identical records, Notre Dame ruled a five point favorite, probab- ly because its opposition has been tougher than that encour ed by the Violets. With. only a 5 de- feat by Northwestern to mar their otherwise perfect record, the Irish list such standout clubs as Ken- tucky, De Paul, Great Lakes and Purdue among their victims. Coach Elmer Ripley said he ex- pects plenty of trouble from the Violets, despite the fact Notre Dame has been victorious in 10 of the 12 previous meetings between the two schools. - MILE THREAT MA BE IN STORE AT HUNTER TONIGHT BOSTON, Feh, 9.—If, in the short space of three weeks, French cham- pion Marcel Hansenne has master- ed the difficult art of running on beards, the packed crowd of 13,900 expected to sit in on tonight's 57th Boston A. A. track meet will be turned thrilled by a 4:12 or better hunter mile race. ansenne, while making his Am- competitive debut in New York last week, permitted Les Mac- Mitchell, the best of our homebred milers to set his own pace and romp home, well ahead of him and | Tommy Quinn, the national cross- country titlist, after giving a dull 4:19 performance. The Fench star, however, plans to go out at the gun in his Boston Garden start and, while ignoring MacMitchell, run against the clock Marcel, who has a win over Gun- der (Der Vunder) Haegg to Mis credit, figures 59-64-64 for his first three quarters. If-he can maintain that schedule and top it with a 65-second finish, he wilk be home in 4:12. After the three-quarters MacMitchell moping for Wanamaker, on the heat and finished ith a blistering 58.3. Provided Hansenne’s time plans carry and MacMitchell stays up close enough, the spectators may be in for their first postwar mile treat - R Sporl;jhorls BOSTON, Feb. 9.—Joe (Ducky Medwick, one of the greatest right- handed hitters in National League hist was unconditionally releas- ed by e Boston Braves yesterday Voted the League's most valuable player in 1937, Medwick was sold to the Brooklyn Dodgers for a re- ported $100,000 in 1940.
