| 32. Delphi 21. Winamac 17. Evansville Central 39. Evan*vllle Memorial 29. O —,— — Indiana And Purdue To Battle Tonight ludianapoiit. Jan. 18—(UP)— Hoosier basketball's only attraction that come* within a mile of •rivaling the annual prep < ago tourney final* will be run off tonight at Lafayette. Indiana and Purdue come to grip* in the flrat match of their annua! horn and home series. Rome 8,600 fan*, a sell-out crowd, will Jam-pack Putaue's gym for the j 74th renewal of one of the nation’s hottest basketball feuds. The Boilermakers, a disappointmt nt so far to their backers, figI ure anywhere from l(Mo-15point underdog * against the towering. ■ speedy and once-beaten Hoosiers. However, Purdue always has had a "jinx” over rhe Bloomingtonbased eager* and during the long series Indiana has won only IS ' times against 55 victories for Purdue. As a case in point. Indiana was national collegiate champion back in 1919 but the Ernie Andres-spark-ed combination fell before Purdue In regular » a son play. Much of Purdue's chutces for victory tonight will rest on whether Paul Hoffman's injured ankle is able to hold up. Hoffman scrimmaged for 30 minutes Monday and reported "no pain.” The butly, six foot two inch ail-conference forward Is the k. y man for the Boilermakers. both offensively and defensively. Hoffman missed the lost two game* after being injur- d early in the Ohio State game. Either he or crack defenseman lludy Uwson probably will dsaw the assignment of stopping Indiana's one-handed rjiooting artist, John Wallace. Wallace, an ex-army air fore- navigator, has averaged . 15 points a game and may crack all-time Hoosier scoring totals this season. ——o— ■ ■ Montpelier Physician Is Victim Os Attack An attack on Dr. T.
