NOTRE DAME TEAM MISSED CONNECTIONS

Arrived in Hammond After Milk Train Had Gone and Could Not Fill Their Appointment. St. Joseph college had a big disappointment Wednesday evening when the Notre Dame University basketball team missed railroad connections at Hammond and were thus unable to fulfill their engagement with the strong basketball quintette of the local college. The disappointment was not only felt by the basketball players and tjheir loyal supporters at the college but by a number of Rensselaer people who had expected x to witness the game. The showing St. Joe has made with all opponents this year is so excellent that it is believed there are few teams that are equal among the smaller colleges, and it is certain that they would put up a great game in any company. This was to have been the concluding game of the year and the students had planned to make it the occasion for a big time.
