Monmouth has made an i excellent record this year, winning | 14 of 20 games, and Thursday night's battle between the Yellow Jackets and their neighbors to the north should be a natural. —oOo — South Side's Archers, pre-tourney favorites for the sectional title, were favored by the luck of the draw. The other Fort Wayne schools. Central and North Side, and the toughest Allen county teams are all on the opposite side of the bracket. South Side's likely semi-final opponent will be the winner of the Decatur-Monmouth clash. —oOo — That Bluffton sectional, with seven Adams county and nine Wells county teams, should be a wow, with any one of six or seven teams likely to come through to the title.

Purdue's tow-headed marks- | man. shot the Boilermakers Into an undisputed lead in the Big Ten 1 basketball campaign Saturday and ‘ another whirlwind performance I against Chicago tonight may clinch ! his second straight conference scoring championship. The slender Purdue southpaw leaped into first place in individual scoring by rolling up 59 points in three games after trailing Pick Dehner of Illinois since the first 1 night of the season. His latest splurge. 19 points j against Indiana, also broke a first I place tie in the team standings aud moved Purdue ahead of Northwestern for the first time this season. Purdue meets Chicago tonight. Northwestern plays at Ohio State. Minnesota travels to lowa, Indiana meets Wisconsin at Madison and ' Michigan plays at Illinois. i Indiana was no match for the Boilermakers either in speed or shooting ability. Led by Young from the start, Purdue scored five field goals in its first seven shots and the Hoosiers seldom moved in closer than the final score. 50 to 36. Purdue's defense was good enough to hold Indiana to only two field goals in the first period, both by Bill Johnson, and to repulse a belated rally midway through the second period. Young's seven baskets and five free throws boosted his season total to 145 points. 12 ahead of Dehner. He needs 27 in two games to tie his record of 172 established last season. Minnesota's slim hopes for at least a share of the title again will be at stake at lowa. The Gophers I won their seventh straight at Chi- ■ eago Saturday. 38 to 27. chiefly I through their ability to make free ! throws.

Michigan's Johnny , Townsend was held to t»’o field goals as the Wolverines dropped their fifth conference game.
