Northwestern, Notre Dame In Grid Feature Chicago. Nov. 12 — (UP) — The big nine's second-best football team. Northwestern; attempts to enter; the giant-killer class tomorrow in the midwest's game of the day, against undefeated Notre Dame at South Bend. There were few who expected the , Wildcats to win, but plenty of fans thought there was a chance for an upset, and the contest will draw a sellout house of more than 59,000. Notre Dame’s greatest advantage in the scrap was expected to come from its team speed, rated as perhaps the highest in the territory. Northwestern will pit an experienced team against the Notre Dame veterans, but the Wildcats overall were not nearly as fast on their feet as the Irish combine. The contest will not affect Northwestern’s conference standing in second place, but should the Wildcats manage to upset the Notre Dame club, winners of 19 straight games and undefeated for 25, then they could lose to Illinois and still possibly hold on to their certain trip to the Rose Bowl. Two other teams also have a shot at killing giants. Indiana's hapless eleven, which has done better than most of its supporters hoped, will take on Michigan at Ann Arbor while the lowa Hawkeyes tangle with Minnesota at lowa City. The Wolverines and the Gophers were heavy favorites, but either of the underdogs could throw a thorn into the big nine ratings with an upset. Should Indiana spill Michigan, the Wolverines would drop to a tie with Northwestern for the league lead. A Hawkeye victory over Minnesota would end all chance of the Gohpers getting the Rose Bowl bid. That chance still hinged on the I outcome of the Northwestern - 11-| linois game, and the Gophers would have a nod at the post-season berth ! only if the Illini win the finale. A third conference game was between Illinois and Ohio State at Champaign. The Illini were early favorite by a slight margin, but of the trio of big nine scraps, this was the likeliest to furnish an upset. Wisconsin and Purdue, deadlocked in the league basement, should find easier competition against non-conference enemies. The Badgers will meet an intra-state rival,

With 34 points scored by skyscraper George Mikan supplying the power, the Lakers marked up an easy 77 to 68 victory over the New York Knickerbockers last night at Madison Square Garden. The way they won under wraps' helped to erase the bad impression left when the Lakers took a 77-55 thumping from Boston on Tuesday. Mikan’s performance, which represented an easing-up after 25 points, in the first half, was the best single-game scoring effort this season. • , The unbeaten Washington Caps, leaders of the eastern division, gained their fifth win in amazing style at Baltimore, coming from far behind with 27 points in the fourth period to beat the Bullets, I 70 to 68. Big Cleggie Hermsen got j the goal that tied the game with | two minutes to go, and he added | to free throws to give the Caps the ‘ victory. At Providence, the Steam Rollers whipped Fort Wayne, 90 to 87, as Ken Sailors of Providence tied the league record of 16 free, throws. Although Sailors had a total of 26 • points, the Pistons nearly won the game when they closed from a 14point deficit to three points in the last three minutes. The Rochester Royals held jumpin’ Joe Fulks to 10 points, his lowest total of the year, and thus managed to beat the Warriors, 83 I to 75. at Philadelphia. Philly aces Fulks, Ed Sadowski, and Howie . Dallmar fouled out in the second half as 67 fouls marred the game. | One farm worker feeds three ' times as many people today as 100 years ago.

Champion Jeff Os Lafayette Again Strong (Editor's note: This is the last , of four stories on probable team • alignments by semi-final districts for the 1948-49 Indiana high school basketball campaign.) BY KURT FREUDENTHAL Indianapolis, Nov. 12 — (UP) — . Northern Indiana usually poses a > mystery in pre-season high school basketball alignments, because it i is among thte last districts to join t in the hardwood campaign due to the late football playoffs there. 5 No Calumet area has taken down • the championship pennant since , Louis Birkett’s Hammond Tech . club did it' in 1940. But one club from the Lafayette semi-final dis- . trict appeared to' have a good i chance to “bring home the bacon." . , That was Lafayette Jefferson, perennially strong and the reigning state champ now. Coach Marion Crawley had one of the best clubs during the regular campaign last time. But once upset by Indianapolis Tech and Crawfordsville, the bucking Broncos were expected by many to lose, as the year before, it\ regional or semi-final play. They didn’t and blasted Evans- ’ ville Central, 54 to 40, in the tourn-: 1 ey finale after losing to Central’s , ! Bears in the Lafayette Christmas • holiday tourney. ! Crawley has another powerful outfit this year. Although it lost ' “Mr. Basketball” Bobby Masters — : arid forwards Dick Robinson, Char--1 ley Vaughn and Bill Kiser through 1 graduation, Jeff retained pivot star ’ Ernie Hall, little Joe Mottram, Ned Snyder and Earl Heninger. This 1 foursome will probably serve as the ’ backbone of Crawley’s team and ? should be difficult to beat in defense of its North Central conference crown. South Bend Central and Hammond should be two of the strongest teams in the crowded northern Indiana region. But both have to do at least some reshuffling of personnel, especially Hammond. The Wildcats lost Bob Babcock and | Nick Morfas from the Babcock-Morfas-Dave Anderson trio, one of the finest offensive as well as de-1 fensive combinations in the Calu-| met area last year. Anderson, at six-foot-four, will be' coach Bob King’s tallest man. Nevertheless. height and experience | are lacking in King’s camp.

Sharp-shooting I?rnio Bond, a clasfey negro stylist, is South Bend j Central's principal loss. Also missing are Alex Santa and Pat Hagerty. who measures six-foot-six. But Johnny Davis, a six-foot-four center, ball-hawking Andy Toth, Jack Morrical and Entee Shine may beenough talent to stamp the South Benders as a team to watch. If those two clubs were hit hard by graduation, the situation was t even worse at East Chicago Wash--1 ington. The Senators lost Randy 3 Balas. Ed Ragelis and Walter Bui- * atovich, three of the finest hardwood performers in Indiana last year. • LaPorte's Slicers, who dropped just three games last season, lost 1 Dick Alban and Max Landis from a 1 potent quintet but may give Fort I i Wayne North and South Bend CenI I tral a battle in the eastern division ’of the NIHSC. I Gary Emerson appeared to be 1 strongest in the steel city, but re- ! serves and height were the $64 1 questions there. Hank Dzienslaw 1 and Deno Kottardis were major returning veterans. Culver and Rossville should be the district’s county powers. Culver ■ opened with a 63 to 44 victory over ■ Flora, a power three years back. 1 , Rossville’s Hornets, although min--1 us Marty Horn and Sam Price, may I round into shape to give the big ': teams plenty of trouble.
