Three Teams Hold Lead In Big Nine Race Chicago, Jan. 11 (IP) ■Minnesota, a team with a crackerjack defense, Illinois, an offensive wonder, and Purdue, which can play it eitjier way. were.at the top '•■ the *hig nine baskethall heap today with perfect cuiifvi'en e records, but a day of reckoning wasn't far away. The Gophers put on their second consecutive display of expert defensive work to trip the Wisconsin Badgers. 47 to 33, for Minnesota's seednd league win last night. Meanwhile Purdue, which Saturday popped the basket with abandon to down lowa. 73 to .73, shifted gears and dropped Michigan, 4> to 3*l. And Illinois, with the highest scoring average of any league team, won its second straight game away from home, pulling from behind in the final 20 seconds to down Ohio Sta'e, til to 03. 'I he results left Illinois nominally in first place with three wins and no defeats, while Minnesota, undefeated for the season of Id ■games so far, and Purdue each had two wins in as many I ague games. Purdue ami Minnesota play Sal urday at Lafayette in what could be one of the peak games ot the year. The Boilermakers are mighty hard to defeat at home, but Minnesota. with a defensive combination which has permitted its opponen to average only 41. x points per game this season, should be able to make a contest of it. Purdue used only five men in tin entire game against Mi hig.ui and held the Wolverines in those chec throughout the first, half Michi gan rallied, though, to pull into a lie at 27 to 27. hut then Purdue won going away as Norris < audell and Howard Williams each pit It id in 13 points.

Dan Topping Seeks Pro Football Peace New York, Jan. 11—(UP— A spokesman for the New York football Yankees said today that his team has no intention of withdrawing from the All-America, football conference “if we would leave any of our associates holding the bag. The spokesman, publicity director Arthur (Red) Patterson, said, however, that club president Dan Topping “would do anything to 'bring about peace in pro football and this would even include becoming a landlord at Yankee Stadium.” Pattersons statement was in comment on an article published today in the New York Herald Tribune under the signature of sports editor Hob Cooke. The article said it had learned from “an authoritative source" that Topping was “weary of the burden of severe losses at the gate” and soon would dissolve his team. The source said Topping would then “rent the Yankee Stadium to the Boston Yanks, a National footoball league team, in 1949.” Boston owner Ted Collins already has revealed that his team will play in New York next season The Tribune article predicted that the dissolution of the Yankees "will no doubt inspire a new order in pro football” and added, it is the considered opinion among professional football people that the two leagues can amalgamate in a happy manner if the case of the Baltimore Colts can be settled." It said the official announcement of the end of the Yankees “is ex-
