Great Battle Is Expected In Big Nine Race Chicago. Dei'. 8 (UP) — It’ll be dog-eat-dog in midwest baskethall this year, and it's a 10 to 1 shot that the eventual big nine champion will drop at least one conference game before the crown is won. y three times since the 1918”i season has a big nine team gone through without league de.'eat. Min- ’ insula under Doc Cooke blasted ' in foes in that campaign for an ,u disputed championship. In 1929-31) Piggy Lambert's Pur due with Johnny Wooden whipped < 10 league rivals and in 1942-I.'! Doug Mills' lllim whiz kids at their prime < whaled an even dozen opponents. This year the clubs appear more p evenly matched than usual. Every 1 team has more lettermen than can play at one time. lowa has only one regular back, but conference champion Michigan has five and 1 Purdue six. And every club has its quota of sophomore prospects who could be stars. The same holds true of the independents. De Paul has no Mikans left, but Ray Meyer has Pete Co.ir las and George Leddy and a stand out sophomore. I’ato Govedarica I Coach Moose Krause has all veterans at No're Dame with Kevin O'Shea. Joint Brennan, and Leo : Barnhorst ready made for star dom. Loyola, with coach Tom Haggerty. has every starter back head- ' ed by a terrific center. Jack Keiris. But the big nine ra e is in the 1 big chase in the midwest, and on 1 the surface, who'll beat Michigan" The Wolverines won 10 and drop ped two in the conference last year and every starter is back, including two all conference men. guards Bob Harrison and Pete Elliott. But Michigan's 1947-4 S coach Ozzie Cowles, who produced a title in two campaigns, quit to move to Minnesota. Ernie McCoy replaced him. hut whether he can tutor a championship crew through a rough campaign to another crown in question ' able. Minnesota, with Dowels. could be title timber.
