Illinois' decisive victory over Northwestern was its llth straight of the season and ensures It of an • dge in the final standings over Indiana. Chicago* hapless cage squad* haven’t won a conference game since 1940. And It's almost a fore-1 gone crncluaion that their losing streak of 39 straight games won't be broken tonight. ’’Handy' Andy Phillip, the llilni's . great forward, scored 16 point* Saturday night to push his season* aggregate to 215. Incidentally, that's another rec- • ord that may fall by the wayside tonight. Andy need* only 27 point* to tie the all-time record of 242 . point* set by Johnny Kotz of Wisconain In a 15-game icbedule last season. You can run assured that Andy's teammate* are going to try and help him surpass that mark.
