Indiana Bests Purdue Monday Night, 56-42 Chicago, Jan. IS - (CP) — Minnesota's undefeated Cophers were alone in first place in the big nine cage race today, one third of the way toward a conference title. I but a darkhorse Indiana five loomed as their possible undoing Saturday. The Gophers won their fourth league victory from lowa, 61 to 45. at lowa City while Indiana put on its best game of the year to drop Purdue. 56 to 42, at Bloomington. Ohio State closed out the Monday conference bill with a 57 to 54 win over Wisconsin at Madison. 'Minnesota's triumph was its 12th of the year and preserved a clean slate of wins, it was one third of the way through the league program. and one third of the way through the road game slate for the Gophers. Game;- away from home traditionally tire hard to win in the big nine, and a team that can take a majority on the road can easily come through to the champ ionship. Still Minnesota was only ha!:' a game ahead of Illinois, now in the midst of a two week layoff for examinations. The Illini return to action Jan. 29 against Minesola at Champaign, and if the Gophers get by Indiana. Minnesota also would go into the clash undefeated. Indiana's performance against Purdue indicated the Branch Me Cracken five could be tough to beat, even at Minneapolis. The Hoosier Sophomores put together speed and accuracy and go-ahead in the open ing minutes and stayed there as Bill Tosheff tossed in I' points. Minnesota played equally wil' against lowa, although the Hawk eyes led for a few minutes in the opening period. Then the Gophers Whitey Skoog. who netted 2ti] points, dropped a free throw to tie the count. Bud Grant dropped ano her to give 'Minnesota the lead, and lowa never got even again. Ohio State, without star forward Dick Schnittker who was laid up in an lowa City hospital with a strep infection, rallied in the final four minutes to down the Badgers Bob Raidiger.

All America I Pro Foolball Heads Confer I Chicago. Jan. IS. —(UP) - Final | ( peace terms on which the All Amer- ( ica <pro football conference will settle its three-year war with the old- . er National football league will be ' prepared today at a secret caucus } of commissioner Jonas H. Ingram , and the eight team owners. > Ingram announced the meeting ! would open at 1(? a.tn. at a site which he would not reveal. It was H understood, however, that the ses- , sion would occur in the office of Ben Lindheimer. owner of the mem- ( hers Los Angeles Dons and direc- ( tor of two Chicago race tracks. ( The secret session precedes bv one day the opening of the circuit's . annual winter inee ing. and because discussion of pen -e terms was not included on the agenda for the regular meeting, a special conclave was necessary. Still. Ingram was not willing to state flatly that peace terms would 1 be considered. B “I think that's one of the things • thev'll talk over." he said “There ■ isn't anything else that I know of e on Today’s program." 1 Lindheimer. executive director f of the circuit, said “it's an- executive session at which we’ll dis--1 cuss league business." Ingram said that he planned to • give th e owners a "ipep talk" urg ■ ing them to head toward a peace 1 pact and that he had some sug • gestions to offer. ’ "The biggest thing.” he said. "Is - to get them to decide that thev 1 want to reach an agreement. Meni ger of the leagues is not the an s swer. If thev did that it would • h P jus’ a couple of vnars before t some other league would come nop in" tin and vnn’d have the same •hin? a"ain. We've got to have two learnt es.” "Our position on peace hasn’’ "ha r "od much s'n-e neveland ” he said. "The move reallv is up to the National football leante." In"rant believed each league , would re'ain its identity in anv near" and that each new circuit sh n ”ld he represented in New • YoHt. Chhaeo ard Ixts Aneeles. • He also suggested that the two ■ireuits “divide nn territorial itirisdio ion and determine where each league should have teams coordinate schedules, have a common draft and mutual respect for each other." ’> "The National league in a lot p of ways is in iust as bad shape ; as our league." he said. "We've! Inst got to have a realignmen' of teams.” The commissioner, who has held! • the i"h for two years sinc“ he, retired as a navy admiral, said he hoped meetings this week would ’esnit in "eace. but that he intend-i d cd to retire no matter what happened. The regular winter meetings of the Na'ioral league opens Thursdav. across the street from the AAC sessions. Neither circuit had conferences on the agenda with the other league, but it was probable some discussions would occur between individual owners, follow- . ed by a joint meeting of peace commit'ees. .
