WISCONSIN PLAYS PURDUE TONIGHT Much Interest Attached To Big Ten Contest At Madison Tonight Tly One Hoffman, INS Staff ('orrespomlent Chicago, Feb. .23. —Basketball fans the length and breadth of the Big Ten dominion will let everything else slide tonight until they htar the result of the Wisconsin-i’urdue tilt nt Madison. This game—and its sequel, to lie played Saturday on the Boilermakers' tioor at Lafayette—are arousing more interest than anything that has happened in western conference circles since th<> crashing football dramas of last fall. Purdue and Wisconsin are now tied for the conference lead. Each has won six games and lost one. Tonight will be their first meeting of the current season. It will be the acid test as to who's who in conference basketball. If one team is fortunate enough to win both games of the “little world series", that team is almost certain to finish the tace in front. Unless one quintet is greatly superior to the other, the advantage of playing in home* territory may divide the series and leave the two rivals just where they started. Through Illinois and Eastward, sentiment favors the Boilermakers to win both games. Purdue to date, it is believed, has faced and defeated stronger teams than have the Badgers. Two Big Ten games were decided last night. Minnesota, on its own floor, upset the dope by defeating Chicago, 30 to 16. The Maroons, by virtue of their improved showing against Illinois in a recent game, were calculated to "take" the lowly and disheartened Gophers. The surpris ing feature was that Minnesota won by careful guarding, a department in which Chicago has excelled. In the othei game last night, Indiana trounced Ohio State at Columbus by the overwhelming count of 62 to 17. The Buckeyes were helpless before the strong H osier attack. Indiana led at the half. 31 to 7. Two other games, beside the Pur-due-Wisconsin bell ringer, ate scheduled for Saturday night. They aw. Minnesota at Ohio State and Northwestern at Michigan. Tomorrow night Ulionis entertains lowa at Champaign o I FIELD GOALSI By MARK M. UPP | U , ... — There's no rest tor the weary sport writer the rest of this week. Roy Anadell was re-elected captain of the Yellow Jackets yesterday evening. Tills honor Is merited by the fighting Yellow Jacket guard who has given everything he had for his team during the two years he was a member. Roy was elected captain of list year's team at the close of the season last year. This year, as was the custom last year, Coach Curtis appointed an acting captain for each game. Roy will be graduated next spring, and his position on the team certainly will be hard to fill. The Yellow Jackets and Commodores. t*vo of the best teams Decatur has ever turned out, will close their regular schedules this week-end. The Yellow Jackets ring down the curtain first, with their game with

Captain AnadeU, Stoneburuer,- Bell.] ’ Chet Reynolds and Hob Hill, all of 1 | whom will be graduated next spring Captain * Hocky Mylott and Elmer Sorg, of the Commodores will play , their last game for D.

Os course, these boys will play in tournament games yet this season, but their careers will be ended this week-end, as far as the regular scheduled games i are concerned. Ix'ts he there to show them how much we've appreciated ' their efforts for their teams.

Wno'B Got The Brick? The “Victory Brick," which has neen simbolical of the championship of Hoosier basketball for the last several years, since if started on its journey at Richmond, has disappear’d. Vincenn«s was the last team to win it this year. Recently, it disa]>peared from the office of the princical of the Vincennes high school one night and it is reported that pupils itole it and tossed the hunk of clay nto the Wabash river with approoriate ceremonies. Over enthusiastic Tins regarded the brick as a “jinx.” hence the theft." The cancellation by Chester Center officials of the game scheduled with Kirkland for Friday night in order to nlay Monmouth, looks like a plain ease of "cold feet" on the part of the Wells county school. The game with Kirkland Was scheduled before the start of the season, while the Mon mouth game was not booked mitt’ hortly before the holidays, It Is ■it te generally conceded that the Kirkland Kangaroos are a stronger utflt than the Monmonth Eaglet S’< w if the Eagles would rise to the M-caslon and hand the chesty Cheser crew a walloping. Adams coumy mrc would have a good laugh. What, ay. Cvery day in every way, this Fort Wayne sectional is getting harder to ’ope. The three Foil Wayne teams -Pl •‘•ir to b. pretty evenly matched it pres'.-rt Lear Mark: F.i-lay night. Union '’enter will attack t'-e Kirkland Kangaroos at. Kirkland. Union is now ~t lie top in the ladder in Wells county and a.so holds vi -’ories over the street; Ossian, Pet.-oleum, Libor-v Center and Bluffto i onintets. The Kangaroos handed Union a surprise by defeating them a few weeks ago. 31-2 r Union is coining for revenge, but they WON'T GET IT. This is the determined idea of eight loyal and tried Kirklanditfe® and these eight ire backed by the other 62 boosters, lb s will be the last game played by Heller. Bowman, F. Arnold and D. Arno.d, before a home audience. Beware Union, that you stay out of the way of these four Kangaroos, as well as Milt. Bum, Walt and Fat. We predict that when these eigrht play?rs get started there will be little Union left in the heavier and huskier Unicn quintet. Best regards to Union. “Barneo, A K. H. S. Fan." Get Revenge Dear Mark: Those Commodores sure did get revenge on Lima by beating them 26-24. It sure was a hot game. Here’s my opinion as to the all-star Decatur teams: First team — Gass. Hill, Gerber, J Mylott and Krick. Second team—Bell, Miller, Wemshoff. F. Mylott and Anadell. “Pat.” Closing Its Season Deir Mark: The St. Joe quintet is closing its basketball playing for this year. From what 1 hear there will be no county tournament. The St. Joe quintet may play a game Saturday night, as a preliminary to the Detroit game.

PWIM FRANK GETTY WiVwr Ifturcp PR£S> seoets tuna* _ I—

United Press Sports Editor The minor engagement in American tennis circles over Nie Inst method of preparing to regain the Davis Cup finds it counterpart in the similarly wordy battle in France. Big Bill Tilden's squabble with the U. S. L. T A., as to where he and Francis T. Hunter, ranking stars of the United States, shall play tennis this spring is duplicated by a dispute among French fans, players and officials. The French Lawn Tennis Federation has coni? in for some furious criticism for sending two Davis Cup , stats and a most promising youngster, Borotra, Hrugnon and Boussus, on a barnstorming trip around the world. “They should he at home, resting up for a hard campaign,” say many , Frenchmen vitally interested in retention of the Davis Cup. The f . deration has admitted that this sounds reasonable, and has ordered the “Three B’s” to return home as soon as possible. Boiotra, Brugr.on and Boussus set out this winter on a journey which included tennis on the courts of the I United States, South America and ' the Antipodes. Except for the time spent on ship board, neither Borotra nor Brugnon has had a real week's rest since they helped France win the Davis Cup by losing their doubles match at Germantown last year. It is feared they will go stale from too much tennis, and that France’s first line of defense may be reduced to La Coste and Cochet. France knows the danger of having too few defenders for the cup. When 1 said that Borotra and Brugnon helped win the trophy by losing

the doubles al Germantown. Il was with no intent at sarcasm. Just as surely as'their teammates, they contribuli'd their share, for In a long, hard-fought match on the sec ond day, they wore down IMg Hill Tilden, sapped Ills strength and wearied him so that lie was easy prey for Rene lai Coste the following afternoon. Reno laiCoste, American singles champion, is said to have lost interest in the game and to be ready to enter his father's business seriously. The elder La Coste is a wealthy - mobile manufacturer. La Coste, of course, will have to represent France in the challenge round this coming summer, for he remains the world's best singles player. Henri Cochet expects to bo better than ever in the challenge round, in which, invariably, he has played second fiddle to La Coste. The French climate suits Cochet better than that of the United States. He has been playing easy tennis this winter on the Riviera and attending to his sport ing goods business in Paris and Lyons. Incidentally, France may lose one of her greatest tennis finds in recent years to th? guillotine. Pierre Barataud, Hi year-old athlete, was regarded as a candidate for future Davis Cup teams and one of the most promising youngsters in the game—until he helped kill a taxi driver and later murdered one of his companions in the crime. Barataud was arrested and charged with the murder of the chauffeur for robbery. He asked permission of the police to go to his room for a moment. obtained a revolver and shot and killed another youth who had
