PURDUE WHIPS ILLINOIS FIVE BY BIG SCORE Boilermakers Win, 61-31; Minnesota Takes First ; Place Chicago, Feb. 16 (U.R) The golden scourge of Big Ten foot- > ball Minnesota's mighty Gopher* swept back into the north today grasping the conference Igiskelball lead extended on a silver platter by Jewell Young of Purdue. Young's uncanny southpaw marksmanship tied the conference record of 26 points set a few years ago by another Boilermaker star. Charles (Stretch) Murphy and inspired a. reckless attack that shattered an eight year Illinl Jinx at Champaign. 61 to 34. All the Gophers had to do war lick lowa. 43 to 37. ami coa.st into first place with a team expected to finish the year no higher than second division. Ohio State defeated Northwestern. 33 to 30. and Michigan whipped Indiana. .55 to 31. Neithei victor climbed back into the championship fight. Although Minnesota must risk its half game lead against Purdue Saturday night. Young's spectacular shooting against the Illini proba'bly made their grudge battle the climax of a dizzv season. The Boilermakers will be a heavy choice to defeat the Gophers nt Lajayette. Young was so busy controlling the ball. Illinois found little opening to start its razzle-dazzle offense. He flipped in five field goals in the first period, pushing Purdue's lead to 26 to 12 at the half. Back again in the second period, he rained eight more goals on the Illinois basket and added three free throws for his 29 points in 33 shots from the field. After the first tnree minutes of play. Illinois moved to closer than eight points. Louie Boudreau ajid Harry Combes, chief threats of the defeated leaders, started a halfhearted rally late in the first hajf but Young quickly shot the Boilermakers out of range. Again it was Gordon Addington, sophomore sharpshooter, who led the Gophers. Scoring 12 points. Addington dominated Minnesota's offensive play every minute of the wc.v. lowa failed to threaten again after inching up. 25 to 24. after ten minutes of the second half. Michigan held its place in the standings with its easy victory over Indiana. Johnny Townsend's eight field goa.'s and three free throws gave the Wolverines plenty of margin to offset the Hoosiers’ superior speed. The Riddle of North western's veterar team and easy chedule cropped out again at Ohio State when the Buckeyes gave the onetime title favorites their fifth beating of the year. Mike McMichael's shooting kept Northwestern ahead, 20 to 17, at halftime. but there they buckled. Ohio State took a lead midway in the second period a,nd never was headed. The standings: Team WLPct.

ers. Torrance had disposed of four opponents and was all ready to dust off a fifth wen No. 5 was suddenly overcome with remorhe (either that : or he didn't want to get his new suit , wet) and confessed his guilt. This was a sad blow to New r Orleans. I know, because when I was there a week or so ago Torrance and his man-killing feats were the chief subjects of conversation, being even more popular than the rise of the river and the trength of the levees. The town had even gone so far as to name a shrimp dish after him. and in New Orleans this is the highest nossib’e compliment. It was called “shrimp a la Jack Torrance " The entire city had a tremendous interest in Torrance, particularly as to his efforts to reduce. I talked to dozens of citizens and there wasn-t I one of them who couldn’t real off hsi latest measurements as readily , as brokers do stock quotations. They were immensely proud that he had brought his waist down from 55 to 48. and shaved several sizes ■ off his neck. They interpreted this as a sure sign he could be next heavyweight champion of the world. They did not seem to remember that Paul Whiteman lost hundreds of pounds without gaining a title. He had "knocked out" three men when I was there, and I ta'ked to several citizens who had seen him «end his opponets into beautiful one ' and one-half gainors, swans, and back jacknives. They were tremendously enthusiastic, and said his "shot put” punch was the most de vastating thing since gun 'powder was invented. 1 remember asking at the time if his opponents had been bona fide pugilists and I remember being told they were men of great skill. I left New Orleans convinced that Torrance was the king’s new killer, and with a note on my cuff to write a story pointing out that at the rate he was going. Torrance soon would outdistance even either as a producer of unconsciousness. When the New Orleans boxing ! commission heard the full detai's of what some term a "scandal" it 1 promptly suspended Torrance's board of strategy. It is a good thing that all other state commissions have not treated similar cases with such severity, because if they had half the heavyweight champions this country has produced would ' have the bar sinister across their I crests. Primo Camera, to name one, would have so many bar Ministers
