You may not have suspected it but Notre Dame has a golf team one that promises as much in the realm of fairway and green as the more widely heralded band Carldeo led onto gridiron last Fall. The Irish" mashle-wletders," will tee up at Olympta PieldsY Chicago, June 22-27, to shoot for the 1 national collegiate title. And jike Carldeo, Brill, Mul-11ns and Schwartz, this group has waded through an intercollegiate schedule undefeated y.ln-tWo years. Thus far in the present campaign they have scored 114 J-2 points, compared with 25 1-2 points totaled by Valparaiso. Michigan State, University of Detroit, Loyola of Chicago, Iowa and Pittsburgh.

The lineup, counting varsity and "shock troops," incfudes Larry Moller, former Notre Dame captain, present Indiana collegiate champion, president of the N. I. O. A. and sponsor of the Fran Beaupre, 1931 captain; Bill Redmond.

Indiana collegiate champion of 1930; Art Bradley, 1930 Notre Dame Lewis O'Shea, New York State Junior tltllst in 1929 and runnerup to Moller in the recent Indiana event; and Buss Beaupre, brother of the captain. This group finished fourth- in team scoring last year as the national intercolleglates were staged at Oakmont. Moller won the medal qualifier from George T. Dunlap, the Princeton captain, but lost to him when they met again in the finals. 'Shei is perhaps the best medal player ef the team, but Moller is the best match player.

The two constitute a serious threat to any team's ambitions. Moller beat O'Shea. by one stroke in the Indiana event, totaling 305 over, the 72hole route. Both play a spectacular game, Moller's particularly because of his long drivingX 4Cwu Blltmore course to Chicago during the Notre Dame-Loyola match.

PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June present Western Invasion of the Eastern teams of National League Is expected to go a long way toward determining the pennant chances of St. Louis, Chicago, Brooklyn and New York. The Cardinals and Cubs, considered the strongest of the Western contenders, must meet the Giants and' RobinsAhe class the Eastern clubs, in eight games within the same numoer oi oays. new xora nnana4 fniir tritmA ftartss awltli th N930 pennant winners today while Chicago entertained Brooklyn in the flrst)f four contests at Wrlgley Field.

Should Chicago and St. Louis win most of their eight games against the two Eastern teams, most baseball fans will agree that the 1931 pennant will be won by one of the Western clubs. On the other hand should, either the Giants or Robins win a majority of the contests, Jhey wiild come to the front as championship possibilities. Despite Its bad start, Brooklyn still is likely tVbe a- factor1 the race. It was on their first Western invasion last year that the Robins struck their stride, winning 12 out of 16 games to advance from seventh to first place.

Both the Cardinals and the Cubs have demonstrated that the other Western clubs, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, are below par. The Reds came from behind to score in the ninth Inning and had the bases loaded with one out in the twelfth, but Flint Rhem relieved Bill Hallahan and set the next two batters down without dlfflculty.Uarvey Hendrlck, first baseman, was the leading hitter of the contest with three doubles and two singles In five times at bat. The second intennctlbnal competition of the year may mean little In tlie American League unless Jhe Western teams are able to stop the Philadelphia Athletics. On the Athletics' first swing through the fWest they built up the foundation for their 17-game winning streaK. However, With Cleveland 'phiyuiB the ball that gave the Indians the league lead during the forepart ot the season, it is possible that the Athletics may be and make the 1931 in the junior circuit a four cornered affair between Philadelphia, New York, Washington and the Indians.
