The lllini removed their final foe , ' blocking the battle of the year by defeating Chicago Saturday night., |34 to 26. The Maroons managed to rush within one point of a tie: midway in the second period be-; fore Harry Combes dropped in 11 j of his 19 points to clinch their isixth victory. i Again it was Purdue's conference scoring leader. Jewel Young. ! ! who led the Boilermakers against lowa. The southpaw star brought J his season's total to an even 10o| points with 10 against the stub . I born Hawkeyes as Purdue won its I fifth game. 54 to 29. lowa's usually stubborn defense I went to pieces when the Boilermak ers stepped up their attack to nor , mal speed in the second period. i Using only its five iron men. I Minnesota whipped Wisconsin, 37 to .32. before a record crowd of 10.500 at Madison. The Gophers. I i trailing 17 to 16 at half-time, rolled up a 13-point lead in the second half before Wisconsin could recover too late to threaten. A blazing finish gave Ohio State its victory over Indiana. 48 to 44,1 definitely removing all Hoosier i hopes for a share o’s The title a I second straight year. The Buck I eyes clung to a seven point lead through most of the second half I until the final minutes when Indiana slipped up to 42 to 41.
