* Purdue Knocks Illinois From Big Nine Lead Chicago. Feb. I.—(UP)— Now that Illinois’ short lease on first place in the Big Nine has expired, the league race promised today to go right down to the wire as a dogfight between the Illini and Minnesota. The high flying Illini. at the peak after edging Minnesota, 45 to 44. Saturday, were dumped last night by an upstart Purdue team which simply ran all the way for a 55 to 53 win at Lafayette. Meanwhile Minnesota, derailed from the winning track only by the Illini, came back for a 61 to 40 win over Northwestern to close out the Monday conference program. The result lifted the Gophers past Illinois into technical first place again with a record of six wins and one loss. Illinois, however. with a mark of four and one. has a chance to pull into a tie later simply by winning or maybe, not so simply. Both teams will be in action on Saturday and the Gophers face the rougher battle. Minnesota plays at Ohio State, and the Buckeyes rank as one of the league's best despite a record of three wins and three losses. Ohio State dropped one contest to Illinois, 64 to 63. at Columbus. but observers believed the Bucks "lost their own game" that night. Illinois will travel to Wisconsin. already one of the Illini victims, this season, and even at Madison, Illinois should be a heavy favorite. In the final league clash Michigan meets Northwestern in the Chicago stadium, while Indiana plays De Paul in a non-conference tilt on the same floor. Minnesota had far too much for Northwestern's sophomores and big Jim Me Intyre, who netted 26 points, and sophomore Whitey carried the Gophers to a 15 to 3 lead early in the game. They went on from there to triumph handily. The Purdue-Illinois setto was more of a tussle. The game was tied eight times, but Illinois was ahead only once at 20 to 19 in the first half. Purdue once held a 10 point margin. Both teams were connecting from every part of the court, and Howard Williams with 21 points was the leading scorer. Andy Butchko. Purdue center, hit 10 free throwh to bring hjs total for the year to 37. Michigan had a non-conference

United Press Picks Indians To Win State BY KURT FREUDENTHAL (United Press Sports Writer) Indianapolis. Feb. I—(UP)— Anderson's talent-studded Indians today were the choice of United Press to win the 39th annual Indiana high school basketball championship. The Tribe, in the thick of the fight for the north central conference banner and winner of 11 of 14 games thus far in the campaign, was the surprise finalist in last year's state tourney and hung on until ousted by Lafayette Jeffer-! son's eventual state champs. This year, coach Keith (Doby) Lambert had the good fortune to' pilot a veteran-studded outfit. Only six-foot-two pivot ace Dick Peck and little Ray Ward, a dependable guard, were lost by graduation. Back were eight major letter winners and 191 other candidates, including the freshman turnout. From this wealth of basketballeager youngsters, Lambert formed one of the finest varsities ever assembled on a prep school court. Although his boys aren't among the tallest in the state—only two of them measure six-foot-three— their ball-handling, passing and shooting make up for it. t Lambert uses the “platoon-sys-tem” substitution method whenever possible. His second starting five returns intact next year. “I figure 1 may as well give those boys as much experience this year as possible." he said recently. And that second outfit nearly matches 51 the finesse of his veterans. I The Indians are built around I their two centers, Dan Schuyler j and Junior Roy Young, a colored lad who goes up in the air in the "Jumpin' Johnny” Wilson fashion. They aren’t scoring wizards, but they can always be for points when the going is rough. 1 Two other colored lads, forwards 1 Gene Wilson, brother of the famed i Johnny, and Russ Smith, and guard Bob Rousey provide the club’s scoring punch. . Wilson, a junior, has a deadly | 1 long set-shot. Smith, the team's »’ expert dribbler and ball-hawk, has ): a deft one-handed push shot from , around the fowl circle or the cor-1 » ner. And Rousey, top scorer for | ; the Indians who is nearly as fast I as Smith, usually is on the end of j fast breaks and hits from under[LOANS-] S2O to S3OO 1 QUICKLY AND PRIVATELY MADE Easy to qualify—Liberal terma— Ready cash—To apply— Call or phoue “Dtudt without obligation" j LOCAL LOAN Dependable COMPANY Incorporated Brack Store Buildlnt-Ground Fleer Decatur.

j neath. Bespectacled Dick Walker, a ! blond kid who stands just five-foot-eight. also is of the driye-under-the-bucket variety and hits well. Six-foot-two Jack Crim also gets into the act as reserve center. 1 and Fred Cunningham and Arno Land were members of last year s tourney squad. As Lambert put it, "it takes breaks to win ball games and it takes ’em to win tournaments. We've got a good ball club. The rest is up to the boys." Anderson will bid for a fourth state title. The Indians beat Fort Wayne Central in 1946 under Charles Cummings for their third championship. Another triumph would put them on an equal footing with Frankfort's Hog Dogs, the only club to go all the way four times. Donkey Basketball Draws Huge Crowd Donkey basketball at Monmouth high school drew a tremendous crowd Monday night. Roads in the area were completely blocked by the overflow of cars. The event was staged by the high school par-ent-teachers association, with proceeds used to purchase a movie projector for the school.
