MADISON SQUARE GARDEN BASKETBALL STARTS 7th YEAR

Ned Irish, that basketball penperbox, who was the first to conceive, (and
prove!) that basketball can pay dividends, rather than continue as a white elephant,
has arranged another attractive card of intersectional games at the Madison Square
Garden, Beginning with the night of December 14th, and ending with the evening of
March 10, Ned has arranged no less than 16 double headers, everyone of which should
pack the famous auditorium to the rafters.

All in all, there will be 21 different teams to compete upon the New York
floor, They will bring together teams from California to Rhode Island, Oklahoma to
Michigan, several that have met for years, others that are facing each other for tk

first time,
