PURDUE FAVORED OVER INDIANA Bloomington, Ind.. Nov. 22. (U.R) Purdue's Boilermakers, champions of the Big Ten thia year, will play In (liana tomorrow in the only game which remains between them and a perfect season. The Boilermakers already have clinched the Big Ten title, but they have aspirations for a claim to the national title, which they probably will claim if they get over the Indiana obstacle. * Always, Indiana plays its best game against Purdue, but if the Indiana showing up to now is to be taken as a criterion, the Hoosiers will have to plap much better than their best to get a victory tomorrow. Purdue has one of the best teams in the middlewest, it not in the conn j try. Boasting probably the greatest I backfield since the Four Horsemen i worked so,- Notre Dame, the Boiler j makers haven't encountered anyone, who could keep them from scoring. All year, the Boilermakers have been handicapped by the weight ol other teams, but they have offset th s with superior speed and judgment. They have a versatile outfit and twite when their running game was stopped. Hatmeson merely stepped back, started throwing passes and gathered in enough points to win. Indiana has been the nightmare of the Big Ten. The team first lost to Chicago and then surprised everyone by tying Ohio State and pinning from Northwestern. Coach Jimmy Phelan was worrit J slightly- today over injuries to bis linemen. Red Sleight, one of the best tackles in the middlewest, was suffering from an injured shoulder, and George van Vibber and Lewis Miller, two other linemen, were carrying painful bruises, but all were expected to get into the game if they are needed. Approximately 30,000 fans, capacity for the Indiana stadium, will see the game. Illinois and Ohio State will meet at Columbus. The Illini have improved with the advancing season and probably will win from their oppon-i ents who have won two games, tied; one and lost one. the same record as j held by Illinois. Wisconsin will play Minnesota at; I expects to lose. The Gophers will i>«* in a dangerous nrood after their surprising defeat by Michigan last week. DfISKKSAWLI d h : noWtn Decatur high school Yellow Jackets meet New Haven high school Bill Dogs on the local hardwood tonight. Three games are scheduled. The two major games will be the Girls' teams of the two schools and the Boys’ teams of the two schools. Coach Jeanette Clark <f the local Girls' team has been dulling a large squad for tonight’s game. It will be the first time in three years that Decatur high school has had a Girls" basketball team. Coach Bryce Thomas’ Eighth graders will meet the Jefferson township Eighth grade team after school this afternoon. It wil Ibe the first game for the Thomasmen. — The local Eighth graders are big and fast this season and predictions are that any team will have its bands full beating the locals. YELLOW JACKETS. BEAT NEW HAVEN Coach Herb Curtis was still uncertain this afternoon, what his starting lineup would be tonight. It is thought that Debolt, Schnepp and Gerber are fairly certpin of places in the starting lineup—but the forward berths are still in doubt. Among the likely candidates for regular forward berths are Dick Engle, Harry Hebble. Curly Reynolds, Hill and Snedeker. New Haven has not lost a game this season —The Yellow Jackets will have their hands full —but we believe the Curtismen can win. Hartford City Airdales gained a lot of noteriety overnight by trimming the Muncie high school netters at the Muncie hardwood Wednesday night. The final score was 17-37 and Coach Maurice Kennedy’s netmen led all the way. The Airdales are a light but fast and shifty team—and of five games played they have won all of them. The weatherman certainly helpec

King Basketball today—and tonight at 7 o'clock about one-ninth of the population of Indiana will be attending a j basketball game some place—--1 Indiana and Purdue will clash tomorrow afternoon ut Bloomhigton for the Old Oaken Bucket. The weather outlook for Su'tirdiy is, fair and cold —and it’s typlc-i) In-diana-Purdue weather- for 'he Inst eight years the weather has ulway.-, teen cold -and sometimes net so fair - w lien this game is played. DePauw and Wabash clash tomorrow. too, in the big secondary college I football game of the midwest. It loo‘<s as if DePauw would hav a slight edge on the Crawfordsville aggregation. And after Saturday, with the excep Him of a few Thanksgiving grid games —Fans wil turn their thoughts and desires to absketball and when you say basketball—lndiana goes crazy. — A capacity crowd is expected toright i for the New Haven game—and unless something unexpected happens — the game will, be well-worth anyoc's fifty i cents. New Haven has never defeated Decatur, but the Bull Does hive certain ly made it fought for the Curtismen the last two years. YELLOW JACKETS. BEAT THE BUL LDOGS G. E.

(California Gridders To Meet Stanford San Franc'sco, Nov. 22. — (U.R) — Ninety thousand persons will jam the Stanford university stadium tomorrow to witness the annual Big Ten game between California and Stanford. If two certain coaches — Clarence "Nibs” Price of California and Glen "Pop" Warner of Stanford —were as certain of the outcome as any of those enthusiastic fans, two hearts would , beat a little more steadily. The youthful and persisting Price and the aging and wily Warner will send their elevens on the field each well aware of the strength of the other's squad. —’ o SATURDAY'S RADIO FOOTBALL Harvard vs. Yale, NBC network. 12:45 cst. — WEAFj WEIL WTIC.

t ♦ WOOING EARLY Fort Wnyne, hid.. Nov. 22. - j (U.R) The diamond ring, through some centuries, has been the binding talisman of devotion which the swain bestows upon bis lady-love. David Poitras, 10. despite his tender years, knew this. David had no diamond ring. His devotion, however, was of unquestioned qunlltp. So David hied himself to his mother's jewel box. and soon thereafter his 8-year-old lady- ; love wr.s wearing a brilliant gem on her linger. Mrs, Poitras missed the ring; an investigation ensued; now David must seek some other mode of expressing his tender sentiment toward his girl friend. t — on Thanksgiving.
