FOUR TEAMS ARE LEADING RACE Chicago. Jan. 12 —-(U.R) — Four teams remained undefeated today ias the Big Ten Itasketball race ! entered its second stage. Northwestern, pre-season chain- , pionsliip favorite, headed the quartet with three dark horse entrants i— Minne ota, Chicago and Ohio | State, which finished in the lowest | positions last winter — completing | the list. With the first general competition turning the race upside down. . Northwestern’s stock soared and the Wildcats now appear to have . better than an even chance to duplicate Purdue’s last year feat , of taking both football and basket- , ball honors. Four games scheduled for to- , night will clarify the situation and , may bring further reductions In , the ranks of unbeaten teams. , Northwestern, which demonstrated:, titular class in defeating Michigan | 27 to 22. should have little trouble | , winning from Illinois. The lllini i have been turned back in two i, starts. 12 to 9 by Wi consin and ; 30 to 15 by Purdue. t hio’ State, -which provided Sat-'

urday’s outstanding upset with a 29 to 19 triumph over Wisconsin, faces a more difficult assignment In meeting Indiana at Bloomington. The Hoosiers dropped a 28 to 27 overtime decision to Chicago Saturday. but remain a slight favorite to upset Ohio State. Wi < bnain’l poor showing against Ohio State gives the Badgers little hope of victory over Michigan and practically has elimiated Wisconsin as a titular contender. Michigan played good ’ ball against Northwestern except for a five minute stretch during the second half when he Wildcats scored 11 points against one for Michigan. lowa, beaten 26 to 22 by Minnesota. h conceded little chance against Purdue. The Boilermakers’ strong comeback against Illinois after their previous defeat by Michigan, indicates that Purdue still must be counted as an important factor in the race. Chicago and Minnesota, probably the most improved clubd in the league, will remain idle until Saturday when they clash on Chicago's floor. The Maroons made an impressive showing to beat Indiana and shape up as a first division quintet, while Minnesota is displaying signs of power ami may prove a stumbling block to many contenders.
