24 -, if The Rim Game IZCAUSIZ of the untiring efforts f Ned Irish, collegiate basket- ball after years of obscurity takes a high place in the field of the American game of today. About S or I0 years ago, basketball was a i' or activity in so far as collegiate ports were concerned. A few years ago Ned Irish, a great showmaker, showed the first big time collegiate basketball game. The opening night at Madison Square Garden was far from successful, but Ned kept plug- ging at his new college creation, big time basketball. After weeks of work, Ned finally gained support of the press in his idea, and as if over- night the game caught the fancy of the paying public. . The first team to catch the fancy of the wild-eyed spectators was the Boilermakers from Purdue University, led by their versatile hook shot artist, Bob Kessler. We remember go- ing to the Garden that night, to see our first basketball game Linder big lights. After the preliminary game which featured City College and Geneva, the Purdue squad came out with blistering bronze w a rm-up trunks. On the lips of every specta- tor was the murmur theres Bob Kessler, that tall husky fellow over theref' and his friend in retaliation, no, it's the short stocky fellow. XVell, to the surprise of the public, Bob Kessler was a skinny, anemic ball player who looked as if he would tire after live minutes of play. As the game opened Kessler drew as his guard the versatile high school figure, Lenny Maidmen. As you probably remember Kessler threw up I8 mark- ers that night and had everyone hysterical. The final score showed Purdue on the short end of the score by two points, foiled by the able foul shooting of XVillie Rubenstein. Another team that came to the Garden that year was the fighting Irish of Notre Dame. This aggre- gation was known to all as one of the greatest Middle Wfest teams ever to assemble on a basketball court. Their leading scorer and playmaker was Marty Peters, who was known to all for his great All-American grid- iron exploits. Peters took the court that night with a sophomore squad of such present day notables as Moir and Nowak. These two sophomore sensations were the whole offense that night and Peters the star. Notre Dame was victorious, but the spec- tators went home knowing that they had a great team representing its sec- tor, principally New York University. This team had everything on the ball. a fast break. a good defense. and best of all the determination to win. The team was made up of Len Maid- men. Milty Schumann at forwards, King Kong Klein and W'illy Ruben- stein at guards. and Irv Terieson at center. This team will go down in Violet history as one of the greatest ever to represent the school from Wfashington I-Ieights. Another team from our city which was called the greatest in the coun- try was Long Island University. After years of hard work Clair Bee,
