The cheerful “Moose” had been on the road for five days when he arrived ■‘•at Le Moyne Heights the other eve for apecial duty at the Dolphins’ BlocktL party, and admitted he was a bit weary.. Nevertheless, he did no wailing, asked no sympathy and after a fine talk headed back for South Bend to be on campus for another dinner party 24 hours later. , ; , r' • - ' . vKrause recalled playing against a Syracuse University basketball team back in 1933 or 1934. He struck listeners as 100 per! cent sincere saying he hoped sometime in. the not too distant future the Fighting Irish and Le Moyne court squads could arrange a meeting. Don't laugh overly loud * at the idea. Tom Niland has been fetching the Dolphins to the fore at*a rapid pace, and Notre Dame higherups have ever been willing to lend aJtielping hand to schools' coming up.

The good father waited until all were assenfbled, then announced calmly: 'That suggestion was a good one,, and 1 am grateful; Notre Dame heads were willing to cooperate and I am pleased to announce, we have booked a game in Detroit for next year ”\ ......It is not always done that easy, booking the Irish for an athletic event. But in the case of Father Steiner the fact he was the new director, with a fine reputation, and that Notre Dame officials believed the helping hand could : really do much for college football in Detroit, an extra contest was added to the schedule.
