PURDUE WINS SCORING DUEL Defeats Notre Dame, Silt); Indiana, Ball State Also Win Lafayette, Ind., Doc. 24. —Coach Piggy Lambert's Boilermakers conquered Notre Dame university's hardwood squad at the Jefferson high school gymnasium here last night before a crowd of approximately four thousand spectators by a score of 64 to 40. It was the first defeat of the season for the South Bend athletes, after seven victories, and it marked a continuation of the Jinx which the local school has had over the upstate players for many years in the hardwood sports. Only once in baskektball history has Notre Dame succeeded in outshooting the Wabash river men. The victory of the locals was well earned and it represented a seven-point margin in both the first and second halves of play. The invaders at times turned the game into indoor football and were charged with twenty-one personal fouls, some of which gave the Boilermakers two free shots. The winners tallied nineteen times from the floor and sixteen times from the free-throw mark, while the Irish made fourteen field goals and twelve free throws on the eleven fouls committed by Purdue. Malaska was the high-point man for the winners with ten. Johnny Ford, former Cathedral high school star of Indianapolis, shared scoring honors for Notre Dame with Moir and Novak. They
