INDIANA LEADS ' BIG TEN CHASE Hoosiers Take Undisputed Lead Over Week-end; Heavy Card This Week Chicago, Feu. 21 —(United Press) With Indiana leading the field by a scant half game and four teams tied ' for-second place, the 1927 western ■ conference basketball race has developed into one of the closest big ten tffairs of recent years. With six games won and but two lost, the Hoosier squad rested in the top notch today, crowded closely by lowa, Purdue, Michigan and Wisconson. Ail four of the latter have won five and lost two. Illinois has a record of six won and three Ipst, and the other four seem out of the race. Eight games are on the schedule I’or the present week —the heaviest week of the conference schedule. Tuesday night Michigan takes on Chicago at Ann Arbor, Ohio State goes to Indiana, and Wisconsin will entertain lowa. With total of 92 points, Capt. Russell Daugherity, of Illinois, who also plays pretty well on the gridiron, leads the scorers. Hunt of Ohio State, last week's leader, is right on his heels* with 81. Fleichrhann of Northwestern is third with 64. Q All Scats Sold F'or Commodore-Lima Game • Norbert Holthouse, of the Catholic high school athletic association, stated today that it was impossible to get more tickets for the basketball game between the Catholic high school Commodores and the St. Rose high school team at Lima, Ohio, tomorrow night. The officials of the Lima school sent 109 reserved seat tickets to this city, but this supply was soon exhausted and scores of others wanted tickets, so Mr. Holthouse telephoned Lima Saturday and asked for more tickets. 'This morning, he received a special delivery letter from Lima, stating (hat all* seats had beeij sold and -standing room would be at a premium. The Lima gym is small and will accomodate only about 300 fans. —(j Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays . . . ■'

S PO.RTS

FIELD h GOALS Ry Mark M. Nico going, Vellow Jackets. It would have been much nicer to have won first honors at the Tri-state tourney, but to be one of the last four left in the running is an honor worth seek ng. A good team beat you, in fact, the oest tejjni in the tournament, beat ,-ot:. The officials of the tri-state tourna* ment picked the following- all-tourney team, following the final game. Dickerson. of Logansport, and L. Miller, of Waldron, forwards; B. Miller of Waldron, center; Wolfe, of sport, and Fulmer, of Center Grove, guards. These Miller twins from Waldron are sweet basketball players. Members of the teams from Kentucky and Ohio, got a good view of Hoosier basketball from the bleachers after the first and second rounds were played. During the semifinal games, some amusing remarks could be heard in the bleachers. After making several remarks such as, “look how they shoot,” “did you notice how they use the dribble”, and “look how they pass the ball", one boy from Kentucky wearing a loud green sweater with a big letter on the front said. “Anyhow we'll sure have something to talk about when we go back to school won't we.” A university of Cincinnati student was heard to ask a Kentucky player if his Meant had sweat pants. When the play’er replied in the negative, the student suggested to him that they ought to get some and then they would be the first team around there to have sweat pants. The player answered him with the remark,” What we need is to learn how to play.” The esteemed Mr. Sports Onceover in the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, called. '.l':.'., t.rj state, tournament a joke, during his discourse in Saturday’s edition. It might be a joke for a few teams in Indiana we could mention, but if any one of the Fort Wayne teams took part in the meet, someone besides the Fort Wayne players and fans would do the laughing. .Anyone of four of five teams in {he tourney this season could hand the Fort Wayne schools the short end of the score. Mr. Onceover also remarked Saturday that the only team which threatens to spoil • Central’s chances of going to the state tourney is Bluffton, inferring that the Decatur Yellow Jackets didn’t have a look-in. It suits us alright to be the underdog when we are playing Central on their own floor so let him rave. The Ossian Bears, after playing a mighty nice game in their first start in the tri-state tourney, blew up in their second game and failed to show the class they are capable of displaying. The Y'ellow Jackets gained a lot of valuable experience in the tourney at Cincinnati and should go good in their game against Auburn and in the sectional and regional tourneys during the next three weeks. The Commodores will invade the Buckeye state again tomorrow night, meeting St. Rose high, at Lima. Coach Conter and his boys are expecting a hard game, but if the Buckeyes should put over a win, they will know that they have been somewhere. While'Auburn is playing the Yellow Jackets here Friday night, the Commodores will he engaging their bitter rivals, C. C. H. S. at Fort Wayne.

I'riday night, and Petrol ‘inn look the drubbing. Kirkland nnd Geneva are booked for a game at Herne, Friday night. Berne is scheduled to go to New Haven, and Hi rtford will visit cfssian. Wuxtryl! The Portland Panthers won two ball games and both on the same week-eend. The Portland win over New Mt. Pleasant high, Friday night, by a score of 19-12, was the first victory of the season for the Panthers. They licked Pennville on Saturday , night. The Bluffton Tigers had an awful api»etite Saturday night, taking the Union Center eagers into camp, 84-30. Cash Keller, erstwhile columnist in the Huntington Press, has been found. He is now on the payroll of the Huntington Herald and is handing out his old line under the head,'“Fan Whiffs.” For the benefit of the young ladies, 1 we might state that Cash is working days now and will have his evenings free.
