PURDUE BEATS i NORTHWESTERN, | CRIMSON LOSES Purple Sullers First Big Ten Loss, 37-26; lowa Wins. 36-32 Chicago. Jan. IS. IIJ.RJ The last j undefeated team has fallen and the , big ten basketball race turned into another typical dogfight today with Northwestern. Purdue and Michigan fighting each other for ■ | the lead. Despite its 37 to 26 licking at Purdue, Northwestern clung to Its shaky margin at the top of the standings. But once more it was Purdue — considered the hottest scoring team in the league- which I moved into the title picture a. both i Northwestern and Michigan lost its I first games. Purdue checked Northwestern’s 1 unexpected surge with ease. Time; after time the much-slower WlldI cats were caught flat-footed by , Purdue's racing offense which spotted its forwards under the basket for wide open shots. Michigan, surprised by Wisconsin. 39 to 30. meets Northwestern ut Evanston and Illinois travels to Ohio State in the only conference, today. Outside the league, Chicago ' meets Ixryola. While the top teams are tighten-; ing their race, two others—lllinois; and Indiana-lost their third games 'and virtually were counted out of. | the chase. Minnesota won the game of its unsuccessful title de-, tense at Illinois. 41 to 29. and Iowa; stepped up into the first division by defeating Indiana. 36 to 32. It . was lowa's first victory at Bloom- , ington since 1921. Purdue's offense began to click , early in the game and after Northwestern had pulled into a tie at . 5-all it spurted suddenly and left • the Wildcats trailing far behind as i Jewell Young and Gene Anderson i broke under the basket for easy . shots. Young scored five field goals and six free throws, 16 points. I Wisconsin solved Michigan's attack by stopping Johnny Town- 1 send. The rugged Michigan forward was bottled up so completely he failed to score a field goal until the closing minutes and wound up with only one basket and two free throws. While the Badger defense was hounding Townsend, for- , wards Hod Powell and George ; ; Rooney broke through consistentII ly and totalled 27 points between .! them. , It was Wisconsin’s third victory < ■ of the year, moving them into; , fourth place. i lowa achieved its upset in the final two minutes of play. The lead ' changed nine times in the last per-; ~ iod and with two minutes to go. i Indiana led. 32 to 31. Joe Van Ysseldyk, lowa guard, then hit a long shot. Benny Stephens added a free throw and finally in the last i few seconds. Stephens dropped in the last basket. A sudden reversal of form brought another upset at Illinois. Minnesota, held to 16 points by Michigan Saturday night chiefly through raggedness of the Gopher offense, rolled up 41 against Illinois and gave the Illini their third defeat of the year. Lewis (Pick) Dehner, high scoring Illinois center, maintained his brilliant drive toi ward the indivdual scoring title with 14 points which shot his season's total to 90 in five games.

hear from the Yankees." The tall, black-haired outfielder emphatically denied reports that he had signed a contract at 8*25,0V0 last July, and added that he himself ’ hadn't made up his mind the exact I sum he intended t oask *cr. His i answers indicated, however, that h? i lias in mind a figure somewhere between $:lt)',(k)O and $35,000. "Would $35,000 be too high, Joe?" , a scribe asked. “What's the matter with $35,000"? he responded. “That's a nice figure." — o > Jackets Meet Improved Viking Five Tonight Renewing athletic relations after' a several years lapse in schedule, i the Decatur Yellow Jackets travel, to Huntington tonight to meet the i steadily-improving Huntington Vi-. kings.
