Boilermakers Play Undefeated Northwestern Tonight Chicago, Jan. 17 —(U.R) —-It® "P to Purdue tonight to check North i western s surprising sweep through j the early stages of the 1938 Big I Ten basketball campaign. I Leading the league with four : straight victories. Northwestern suddenly has become a definite threat to the early favorites — Michigan and Purdue. If Purdue can't stop the M ildcats tonight,, they may sail right on into the I championship through the most ' favorable schedule in the confer-. I ence. I Michigan, only other undefeated team in the Big Ten. also risks Its perfect record against muchimproved Wisconsin. Minnesota s defending co-ehampions, now virtually out of title consideration with three defeats in a row. meets the other champion, Illinois, and lowa plays at Indiana. Three noteworthy things occurred in Saturday night's round of five games: 1. Northwestern established itself as a contender by dumping Indiana in an overtime game, 32 to 29. 2. Lewis (Pick) Dehner of Illinois. the conference scoring leader, tied the Big Ten record for a single game by popping in 29 j points against Chicago. Joe Reiff I did it for Northwestern at the j ’ height, of his career and Jewell Young scored 29 against Illinois | mtol yr AU. 3. Michigan all but shut out Minnesota in the second half, winning 31 to 16 after trailing, 13 to 11 at the end of the first period. The defeat kept the co-champions in the cellar, tabbed Michigan as top defensive team in the league. The Purdue-Northwestern game at Lafayette should be a thriller. ' Purdue was hard pressed by Wis- | consin and barely rellied enough to win in the closing minutes, 40 to 34. Northwestern’s balanced attack, however, may fall apart under the pressure of Purdue's high-speed offensive which is due for another big night. Although the Boilermakers scored 83 points in their last two games, that was below par. Michigan's task with Wisconsin I also will be a tough one. The Badgers. led by Hod Powell. George I Rooney and Charles Jones, likely will figure in determining the next champion although they have little chance of sharing the title themselves. Continued high-caliber play of Pick Dehner, who may unseat Young as scoring champion with a new league record, made Illinois a favorite over Minnesota. Chicago, defeated 51 to 34, was a suitable trial-horse for the revamped Illini who lost their star defensive guard, Jay Wardley, in the Purdue game. Harry Lasater, substitute center, and Carl Davies, a sophomore, worked Into Wardley's old job. Indiana apparently has too much power for lowa which lost Saturday to Ohio State, 48 to 29. Ohio State and Chicago are idle tonight. o Moose Hunter Gets Wish Sault Ste. Marie. Ont.—KU.P.J —H. I|P.
