The Hoosiers, who forged to the ) front in a wave of Saturday night ■ upsets, fattened their edge to a ■ half-gamfe over idle Ohio State 1 Monday night with a 91-72 victory • over Minnesota. ; The victory was the fifth in > seven games for Indiana, .compared to a 6-3 mark for the Buck- ■ eyes, still reeling from three £ straight conference setbacks. ! Both the Hoosiers and the Buck- ■ eyes had plenty of cause for worry, > however. Even lowa, three places from the bottom with a 3-4 mark, i was only 2*4 games off the pace. Illinois, Michigan close More serious threats were posed , by Illinois and Michigan State, ; each with 5-3 records and only one , game out. Purdue, a 68-66 loser 1 Monday night to the conference’s I defensive specialists from Michii gan State, was right behind with • five wins and four losses. Wisconsin’s lowly Badgers came ■ through to furnish the only upset on Monday night’s round of con- ■ ference tilts when they defeated i Michigan, 70-65. It was the first conference success in seven tries - and avenged an earlier defeat at i the hands of the Wolverines. Illinois scored a shaky 104-97 win i over Northwestern and sewed it i up only when the Wildcats’ sopho- ’ more center, Joe Ruklick, fouled : out with 33 points after sinking 31 .in the first half. Dees Scores 29 Points The lead changed hands 16 times in the first half and the score was tied six times before Johnny Paul sank a long shot that gave the Illini a 57-56 edge at the intermission. Illinois forward Harv Schmidt bagged 34 points, tops for the contest and good enough to move him from eighth - ranking scorer to number four. ( Archie Dees safeguarded his role , as the league's top sharpshooter with 29 points in Indiana’s victory i over the Gophers. Dick Neal helped with 24. Dave Tucker and Roger Johnson netted 14 points for the Gophers while their scoring ace George Kline was restricted to a mere 8. The Spartans hung up their fifth straight conference victory over Purdue with a rally that pulled them from a 10-point disadvantage. The Boilermakers moved in front at the intermission. 39-34, and held the edge until the final six minutes when the Spartans dropped in 16 points to 5 by the Boilermakers. ; The point-maker for the Spartans was Larry Hedden with 17 points. Lamar Lundy paced the Purdue attack with 19. ■ i

Earlham Drops From Conference RICHMOND, Ind. (UP)—Thomas E. Jones, president of Earlham College, has announced the Quaker school will drop out of the Hoosier College Conference and expand its sports program to make it a part of every student’s education. Jones said the decision came after three years of faculty study and has been approved by the board of trustees. It is effective at the end of the current school year. The school plans to offer a wide variety of sports, like soccer and volleyball, many of which are not engaged in by other conference members. Jones said the move does not mean Earlham is withdrawing from intercollegiate competition. On the contrary,.Earlham already is seeking relations with non-con-ference institutions whose athletic programs are comparable to that of its own, Jones said. The school still intends to continue playing against colleges within the HCC. Jones also said the move does not imply any criticism of the HCC or any of its members. Earlham was one of the original members when the HCC was formed in 1947. The Quakers never won a championship in football or basketball, but did take numerous titles in cross country, baseball, tennis and track. Other members of the conference include Anderson, Franklin, Hanpver, Indiana Central, Manchester and Taylor. .

(UP) —lll6 Coast Guard searched Atlantic waters off the desolate North Carolina outer banks today for an attractive nurse who disappeared mysteriously during the weekend from the yacht of a New Jersey physician.
