Irish Defeat Indiana U. By 70 To 60 Score Chicago, Doc, 10- il'P) Notre Dame's fiery Irluh, the !*ace-setting basketball scorers of the midwest, showed promise today u.* getting in the big nine’s hair all season. The almost brand new Irish team made a flying start in Its crusade aaainet the hix nine last night by knocking off Indiana. 70 to 60, In the first renewal of their rivalry In 15 years. The battle of the Hoosiers topped a four game card In which Purdue opened Its season by walloping Wabash, 55 to 34, Wisconsin won over Butler. 60 to 53, and .Minnesota swamped South Dakota 65 to 33. Notre Dame, playing before a record crowd of P. 300 fins at the Bloomington field house, had tough going at the start. Indiana led at the half time 32 to 10. But the Irieh started hitting from all nngl>« late in the game, and ran up their third straight victory. Other Idg nine teams scheduled to face Notre Dame had reason to lie concerned. Sparked by F-ancls Curran, a veteran of the 1912-196.1 c.impaign and freshman Kevin O'Shea, Notre Dame ran ita three game scoring total to 246 points, an average of 82 points a game. Curran, slender navy veteran, piled up 19 points for Notre Dame, most of them apot shots from outside the foul circle; O'Shea, one of the university's finest prspe< ts. tossed in 15 points, and Leo Barnhorst, who filled Vinco Boryla's apot at center this reaeon, scored 13. Pint-sized Bob Cook, Wisconsin's flip-shot artist, fired the unbeaten Badgers to their victory over Butler, giving the conference team its third straight win. Butler, liecause of deadly iongrange shooting, led most of the way, but when Cook started hitting, Wteconein shot ahead. Cook dumped In 22 points before the final gun. .Minnesota had easy going In drubbing South Dakota and used 2<t men in winning their second 1 SCHICK Injector Razor with 20 blades—Bl.2s Holthouse Drue Co. o 0 — Last Time Tonight — Technicolor Musical Hit!

CLASSIC LEAGUE After laying off a wwk for Thanksgiving, the (Tamlc league went buck to work, with the West End Restaurant shutting out Smith Insurance. With Petrie snagging a 226. Schneider 204. Belt 200 and Appleman 2«2. P. Bleeke furnished a 206 after two warm up Kamen Swearingen Dairy and C. V. Beer split the 4 points with the C. V.'ers Miagglng the odd game. Mies had the alleys Jiwt right for his screwball, when he banged out the high series of the night on games of 228 and 236 for a fine total of 637. Hany Young is still bound to set 'he low record, thU time with a 102 opener. I can remem bed when Harry wan in there Just about all the time, but probably he has some of that foundry dust In his eyes of late and can't find the range. i'utewller banged out an even 200. Mayor" Hoagland got 205, F. Ahrl 203 and tadd 214 and 202. Ehler's Restaurant won 3 points two and total with Murphy shooting a little like he used to with a 6.3.3 series on games of 211205 and 217, G. Schults bagged a 204. W. Gallemeyer 200, Buuck 216 and Schroeder 210. There are eeveral howlers with a pretty fair average that are not shooting in this league, and It might not Im* a bad idea if the captains on a couple of the teams in this league would try to strengthen up their lineup a little. One or two bowlers with a little better average would help out the lame ducks considerably, although credit must Im* given to the teams that come up every week and take a shellacking and then come back for mot , hut to make the league a littio mote interesting, I think a few changes could be made. All you team captains get your entry in for the city tournament an soon ax possible in order to get the time that you want. The entries are starting to come In. and if you wait until the last day, you might not find a epot. 0 Big Nine To Draw Up Grid Schedules Chicago. Dec. 10-(UP)-The big nine conference will get in step with the west and east this week by drawing up a 1948-49 football schedule. More than 125 faculty representatives, athletic directors and coaches will gather here for the western conference's annual winter meeting. From Thursday through Saturday the conferees will map schedules for all sports but basketball, iron out details of the Rose Bowl pact with the Pacific coast conference, and vote on a liberalized eligibility policy for ex-Gl’s. Football schedules which develop from the meeting will enable the big nine schools to schedule intersectional games further in advance. Both the east and the west have made a practice of drawing up twoyear schedules on the "even years,” such as 1946-47. Hitherto, the big nine lias booked its conference play on the "odd years" such as 194748. Last year the conference took the necessary preliminary step toward alignment by scheduling only 1947 games. Details relating to the big nine's Rose Bowl games, including division of game receipts, determination of the size of the representative team's traveling squads and approval of the pre-game practice period will be ironed out. Although the conference has returned almost completely to prewar eligibility rules, the faculty representatives will review those rules with a view to codifying them and publishing a new edition of the conference handbook. They will also be confronted with a proposal to reduce eligibility residence requirements for veterans entering school for the first time to one term, quarter or semester. Under present rules freshmen—veteran or non-veteran—now entering school must put in a full year of residence. The war-time waiver of the "freshman rale” was extended only to those who entered school last fall. Proponents say the proposed rule change would be in line with current regulations under which exservicemen transferring to other schools need put in only one term before coming eligible. Passage of the proposal was regarded as unlikely. Under it an ex-Gl student entering school this February would be able to play football next fail. 0 Hearings Are Held In Juvenile Court —■» w* Three youths who were the object of a widespread search after reported missing from their homes for several days were in juvenile court before Judge J.

His rough riders currently hold a 21-game winning streak and two consecutive mythical state championships. They've played the best teams in the state's toughest prep grid league — the Northern Conference — along with top-clubs from other sections and states. Pete has most of his eleven back next fall. But he says he can't get a representative schedule. Tinsame thiiiu happened to South Bend Washington when the Panthers were as dominant early in the decade as Roosevelt is now. Ixiuisvllle Male, perennial Kentucky power, got a 21-0 dose from Roosevelt this fall and told Rucinski it couldn't make It in 1947. Chicago’s champion, Fenger High, pleaded lack of returning veterans. Another thing hampering Roosevelt's attempts to complete a 1947 schedule Is the fact that the Western division of the NIHBC split up Into two sections of six teams each. Five league games, plus one In a section playoff and a poasible date In the overall conference playoff left Roosevelt with four open dates. Incidentally, this west-NHISC split will pave the way for more intersectional games. Hammond Hlgli started the trend when it booked Evansville Reitz as a replacement for its oldest rival. Gary Emerson. The Gary schools are in the opposite secQon from that of Roosevelt and Hammond. Purdue's recently-enlarged fieldhouse may be the site Jan. 1 for what shapes up as the high school basketball tourney to end high school tourneys. Marion Crawley, tafayette Jeff coach, has had acceptances from Jasper, Jeffersonville and Richmond. The meet may be shifted from the Lafayette gym to Purdue. There will be more holiday events this time than ever before. There are 27 scheduled already in-

When Muncie Burris nicked Bluffton. 48-46 the other night, the teams played the last three seconds of the game as-! ter the crowd had gone home. The fans made so much noise as first Burris, then Bluffton, then Burris again took the lead In the final minute that the timers failed to hear an official blow his whistle for an out-of-lmunds play with three seconds to go. This would have stopped the clock under the new; rules, but the "final gun" was fired. After a long argument, it was decided to play the final three seconds over — some 15 minutes at- . ter the "final g-*." Burris tossed i the ball In and held It for the win. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur;
