Keogan molded some of the greatest men ever to wear the Blue and Gold of Notre Made Basketball at Notre Dame In 1923 when the new Irish mentor took over at Notre Dame, basketball was not highly regarded. In place of the mod­ ern, sharplj^ined hardwood court, he found nothing but a dirt base with dry lime markers to form the court. Coach Keogan wasted no time. He assembled a team and fitted them with the various colored uniforms that were present. Later it became necessary to practice and play downtown at the Y.M.C.A.

A Last Interview

The coach was justly proud of the men who composed his first few teams. The 1931-32 team, led by sophomore Ed "Moose" Krause, was another of George Keogan's gi-eat combinations. They recorded 18 wins in 20 games, finishing the season with a 16-game vic­ tory streak. Krause was again the big g-un in 1933-34 as the Irish won 20 and lost four. In 1935-36 Coach Keogan de­ veloped two men who rank with the all- time stars—Johnny Moir and Paul No- wak. Through the next three seasons Moir and Nowak paced the Irish to 61 decisions in 71 games.

YOUR NAME IN YOUR GARMENT: in addition to a smart monogram label bearing your initials on the inside pocket of your jacket or blouse, every Simpson garment contains a linen label with your name and date and number of order. Printed in fade-proof ink, quick and positive identification can always be made.

BODKIN BUTTONS ivith the attached slide that can't be lost and which are so easy to remove are a feature of Simpson garments. This permits easy removal when garments are to be cleaned and pressed and eliminates loss of buttons.

TALON SLIDE CLOSURE AND GRIP- PER FASTENER STANDARD ON ALL TROUSERS: We have set aside a large supply of metal grippers and Talon zip­ per fasteners to use on military uniforms. (At present, it seems we will be re­ stricted in our use of these items for civilian purposes.)
