Coach Keogan's men no\v concentrate on their grueling pre-Christmas season. Mentor "Buck" Eead will invade the campus with one of his most brilliant quintets headed by Harold Gensichen, former South Bend Central High school star. Gensichen was picked on the All- State team selected by Michigan state coaches and was also named the most valuable collegiate player of the state. His amazing record of 400 points in 20 games last year, scoring 32 in one game and never falling below 14 points, will undoubtedly have the Irish netters work ing overtime perfecting a defense for the local boy. With the "field goal twins," Bob Faught and Bob Eensberger operating at top , speed it promises to be a busy evening for the visitors.
