PURDUE LOSES: INDIANA WINS Uy Bert Demby, UP Staff Correspondent Chicago, Jan. 22 —(U.R>—Wisconsin unexpectedly went into a favored position' in the western conference basketball race today as a result of a 31-to-2< victory over Purdue, tiie team which until last night had appeared to be the best. The Badgers, using a defense de-' signed especially to stop Murphy, Purdue center, outplayed the Boilermakers on the Ijafayette floor. Wisconsin sank 1.3 or 15 free throws as a material aid to the victory. In previous games, Purdue had won I because no team had succeeded in halting Murphy, who piled up 76 points in Ills first five games. The Purdue center had scored almost at will on short shots because of his great height. But in meeting Wisconsin last night, Murphy found a team which was tall enough to compete with him and the Badgers concentrated their defense on keeping the ball out of the hands of the Purdue center. The Wisconsin victory allowed Michigan to assume undisputed possession of first place in the conference standings. Until last night, Purdue was first with five games won and none lost but Michigan won four and i lost none. As a result Purdue and Wisconsin go into a tie for second place in the ; * standings, each with five won and one i

lost. Wisconsin lost only to the undefeated Michigan team, anil the early season "dark horse" claims of the Badgers seem now to have been well founded. In the other game last night, Indiana experienced little trouble winning from Minnesota, 41-22. The • Gophers were outclassed completely I Coach Dean of Indiana used eleven men in the game. Because of the mid-year examin-, ations, activities in the conference will be halted almost completely during the next two weeks. Only two conference games wi|l be j payed doling that time. The much defeated Chicago team' plays in both. The Maroons go toj Columbus to meet Ohio next Satur-I day and play lowa in Chicago the fol , lowing Saturday. These games should serve to better the standings of both Ohio and lowa j as Chicago has shown little to lead, to a belief that it might win either of these games. The tight Badger defense last night stopped the scoring streak of 'Stretch Murphy and the Purdue center was able to add only four points to his 76, giving him a total of 80, which j still is far ahead of his neatest rival j o Young Stribling Wins Bout With Knock-out Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 21.—U.R) —W.

''Time Outs" in the Berne Witness now ami then, mostly then, came out of his shell long enough Monday to pick two all-star teams from among the players In the county second team tournament at Berne Saturday. His selections are: First Team Roop (Decatur) and Clauser (Berne) forwards. Hebble (Decatur), eerier. Stuber (Jefferson) Stndler (Hartford), guards. Second Team Wendell (Jeffeism) and Shoaf (Deeatui), forwards. Stauffer (Herne) center. liechty (Berne) and McKean (Kirkland) guard. Evidently. Will didn't think much of Decatur guarding. Yet the young Yellow Jacket guards held their opponents to 33 points in three games and the most points scored against Decatur in any ne game was 13. But far lie it from ns to criticize the selections which Will had tiie nerve to make. Picking all-tourney teams is a hazardous task.

CHICAGO MILK I WAR IS ENDED cnees Over Price Chicago, milk war was abruptly halted today when striking dairy farmers and .urge milk distributing companies here, reached an agreement to arbitrate their differences on the price tn be paid for raw milk. The agreement came at daybreak, after an all night conference, between representatives of the farmer's association and milk dealers' officials at the office of Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, city health commissioner, who brought t conflicting parties together. The conference and agreement came at a crucial moment of the strike, when militant farmers, armed with sledge hammers and rifles, were shutting off the city's milk supp y by a series of raids on milk trucks and trains. More than 300,000 pounds of milk was destroyed in the past 24 hours by the strike pickets. Full co-operation of the farmers and dealers to insure an adequate supply of milk for the city was agreed to by the conference, pending outcome of arbitration conferences, which are to follow this week. The farmers are demanding an increase front $2.50 to $2.85 for their raw milk, and if an agreement is not reached in conference, commissioner Kegel, it was decided, will name an arbitrator who wi.l fix the price. Attending the conference were Dr. Fred D. Walmsley, president, and Frank Reser, vice president of the Borden Dairy Products company; Frank A. Kullman, Charles Wieland and A. W. Medsker. of the Bowman Dairy company ; W. C. McQueen, head of the Farmers' Pure Milk Association; Don (leyer, field representative of the farmers, and Dr. Henry ('. Beck-
