MICHIGAN. PURDUE CONTINUE TO MN By Bert Dernby UP Staff Correspondent Chicago. Jan. 15.—:U.R>-F.ach look cd upon as a possible champion, Michigan and Purdue sat atop the western conference basketball stand* Ing today. Both teams have won four games but while Mi< hlgan already has downed its strongest opposition Purdue yet must face Indiana, a teain which has come nowhere near justifying preseason predictions but which has a habit of putting up its strongest front against Purdue. The Boilermakers struck a real stride last night and hung up some kind of a record by defeating the downtrodden Chicago team. «4 to 16. Michigan was able to win from l.linois by only four points. 21 to 17. Purdue beat Illinois by nine points eat Her in the season. Allowing for the fast that Michigan played on its own floor last night, and Purdue s victory over lllini was gained at I rbana. the Boilermakers seem to have a paper advantage. But the schedule does not bring the Wolverines and Boi'ermakers together and from here on, Michigan's path looks smoother titan Purdues True to its 1929 form. Northwestern turned in another upset last night by beating Ohio State 27 to 21. The Northwestern team seems finally to have hit Its stride after dropping three conference games. The combination of Gleichmann. Waller and | Marshall looked good against the | Buckeyes and the Purple may cause trouble. lowa iived tip to expectations by defeating Minnesota 36-2.’!. The heavy lowa team proved too much for the Gophers, despite the Minnesota showing against Indiana Saturday night. Indiana, distinctly off the form, dropped a 24-20 decision to Wisconsin | The Hoosiers seemed tired after their j trip from Minneapolis and led by Tenhopen, center, the Badgers put up a victorious battle. Four Big Ten games will be played Saturday night. Neadllning will be' the Purdue-Indiana affair. Purdue. ap- i pears to have far the better ball team , but predicting what Indiana wi.l do against the Boilermakers at anytime is much Hke trying to guess which "little <up" the bean is under at a carnival. Mh.i.c.sula mt-els Wi.-» olism, < hicago plays Illinois, and lowa comes to Northwestern, in the other three games.

Field Goals By Mark M. Vpp Who’s Interlocutor? "The main attraction at the high | school this week might well be called Coach Murray Mendenhall’s Color I cd Minstrel Show. Three of the five 1 men on the Central Tiger’s first team are colored boys."—The Score board, Kendallville News-Sun.

"Miner, South Side's center, made nine points from the free throw line end missed three others. He was fouled twelve times. It is singular t" note that Fort Wayne newspaper men said that every center who has played against this man was taken out of the game on personal fouls. It must, be an art. On the other hand, Mine: only made one personal foul during the contest.” —Huntington Herald. The above paragraph is worthy of a little comment, we believe. Gerber 1 layed center for the Yellow Jackets against Miner when they defeated South Side this season, 30-15 and I on’y one personal was called on Gerber. Yet, the officials in the Huntington Decatur game saw fit to call four personals on Gerber in about 25 minutes of the game. Not a personal was culled on Gerber in the DecaturMishawaka game the night following the Hurt in-ton game. Neither was theic a personal called on Gerber in the game against Auburn and Bluffton and only one was called against him in the game against Angola and two in the Peru game. Yes, Gerber was a bad, bad boy at Huntington. Incidentally, Gerber scored six field goals against Miner, while the South Side pivot man was sinking one basket and one free throw. Thanks, Big Boy Dear Mark: Here's my all-time allcounty team (squad of 12): forwards. Strickler (Decatur), Corson (Kirkland), Mongo Meyer (D. H. S.), Ellenberger (Berne) and Lynn Shirk (Monroe), the latter being made captain: centers, Ernst (Kirkland) and Juday (Geneva); guards. Pyle (Geneva), W.

Yours truly, "Big Bozo.” Richmond's 35-33 victory over Muncie's Pear Cats nt Muncie last Friday night, continues to be a leading topic of discussion over the state. No doubt, scores nf teams defeated last week-end have found much consolation in that tipset. Yea, it is always best to piay the next game on the schedule next. A big picture of the Crawfordsville squad, opponents of the Yellow Jackets here on January 26, appeared in the Indianapolis News yesterday. 1 along with a record of the Athenians'games to date. Crawfordsville has ' won ten and lost three games to date. The three defeats were suffer-1 ed at the hands of Bedford. Greenfield and Greencastle.

Ixdianon, Brazil and Attica. — Coaches over Adams county are devoting considerable time to their second teams this week, in preparation for the annual second team tourney to be held at Bettie next Saturday. There appears to be no outstanding favorite, so a good tournament should be the result. A Kirkland fan informs us that he is having a hard time deciding whether to stay at home and see the Kangaroos whip Rockcreek Saturday night or tn go see the young Kangaroos in the final game of the second team tourney at Berne. We suggest that he flip a coin. It costs only a penny to send a post card now. And the mail man knows where Mark gets his mail. o Kirkland Whippets To Plav Rockford, Ohio The Kirkland Whippets will stack up against a formidable foe Wednesday night, when they meet tin- fast Rockford Ohio, basketball team.

PURDUE, INDIANA CLASH SATURDAY Bloomington, Ind., Jan. 14— Following their game last night at Madison. Wis.. with Doc Meanwell’s rangy Cardinal quintet, Coach Everett Dean and his Crimson basketball squad returned to Bloomington today and started preparations for another double-header program this week-end. Purdue, who shared the 1928 Big Ten court crown with the Hoosiers, wil? be the main attraction on the Indiana net schedule this week. Both teams ate composed of veterans, and critics and officials of Hie Big Ten i and mid-west are anticipating one of I the best games of the early conference season. A feature of the game will be the t tird meeting of Branch Me i Crackn. Indiana, and "Stretch' Murj phy, Purduo, ranked us lhe outstand- ' Ing pivot men in the Big Ten. Both Lambert and Bean have drilled their teams to high offensive powers. and it is thought that lhe game will be one of the fastest exhibitions lhe new Indiana field house has witnessed. Last season, the co-champ-ions met twice each team winning on its home floor. On paper, the boilermakers appear to have the edge on the Hoosiers. Led by Murphy. Harmeson and Capt. Cummins, the Old Gold and Black squad passed through a successful non-conference schedule and heads the list of quintets now battling for the conference lending position. Indications are that the two teams will play before a record breaking crowd. On Monday night the Deanmen entertain Minnesota, whom they played at Minneapolis last Saturday night The game with the Gophers will mark the passing of Bob Correll, speedy Indiana all-conference guard, who will graduate Jan. 30. Correll was captain of the 1928 co-championship quin-

The young Teuton who looks like Dempsey chased and clouted Joe Sekyra for ton rounds at Madison Square Garden recently, won as he pleased and was going lickety-split at the finish. N'vr did Max from Germany fail to give the Garden habitues an electrifying run for their money. It was his second effort in eight months and against a pretty fair heavyweight contender. It is best described, perment hopes to complete the paving of the state highway system within five years. An increase in license fees or in the gasoline tax, or both, have been suggested.

J., points to the victor in a dignified manner, but on this occasion he fairly flew to the corner lof der Maxey and hoisted his arm like an old-school referee. Old Joe was proud to raise tlie glove ol a fighter who seemed to be another lithe and tigerish Dempsey. “Only he's more clever than Dempsey,” Humphreys said, in speaking of the victor's showing. "He has the best left hand since Corbett and McCoy. He's a beauty who punches straight and can 'take it’." "He’s tAe best looking young heavyweight ar.und.” chimed in Jimmy Johnston. "The most promising young heavyweight in the game.” agreed Charley Harvey, twisting his walrus mustache. "There's no reason he can't win the championship.'
