Big Ten Lead At Stake In Tilts Tonight CHICAGO (UP) —lndiana meets Obio State and Michigan State clashes with Michigan tonight in battles for the Big Ten basketball lead. At the moment, Michigan State was sole occupant of first place with a half - game lead over Indiana. The Spartans bumped the Hoosiers out of a share of the lead by beating Illinois, 65-56, Saturday while the Indiana five took a day off. The Hoosiers, however, were an excellent bet to take over the lead ‘by themselves tonight. The Hoosiers, seeking their sixth league victory have the important home court advantage working for them when they meet the Buckeyes. It was the other way around with the Spartans. They put their 6-3 conference slate on the line at Michigan. A setback by their friendly rivals across-state would jar Michigan State out of the lead and give it to Indiana. The Hoosiers have six games left in the conference, three at home. The Spartans have five to go, two on their own court In addition to Michigan, the Spartans must travel to meet Purdue and lowa. Tonight’s other two games pair second division contenders. Wisconsin seeks its fourth conference victory in 10 starts in a titlt at lowa. And Illinois is out for the same record in a battle with Minnesota on the Illini court. The Spartans’ ace rebounder, Johnny Green, was the start in their winning effort against Illinois. The jumping jack center snared 17 of his team’s 41 rebounds and bagged 17 points, individual high for the game, although he was out a good portion of the contest due to a gashed brow. In other Saturday night games, Purdue scored its sixth victory against four losses by trimming Wisconsin. 81 - 76, Ohio State defeated Michigan, 85 -76, and Northwestern edged Minnesota, 76-75. The Boilermaker'victory put the| Lafayette, Ind., crew in third place, only a half-game off the pace. And the Buckeyes, scoring their seventh straight victory at home, made their mark 6 and 5 for a fourth place standing, one game behind the leader. The Buckeyes were, no better than Michigan shooters from the floor, but they demonstrated the importance of free .throws. Capitalizing on Wolverine fouls, the Bucks sank 33 of 43 charity shots. Free throws also figured in the Northwestern victory The Wildcats and the Gophers battled neck-and-neck throughout but in the. final minutes the game turned into a battle from the free throw line. Dick Johnson got ashot in the final 11 seconds and made it to- give Northwestern its onepoint conquest of Minnesota. H. S. Basketball South Bend Central 66, Fort Wayne North 49.

Johnston said he would compete at the Houston Open, which Starts Thursday, before going home to rest in Provo, where he is a prr at the Timpanogos Golf Club. His best previous plays were chain pionships in the Utah, Montana and Nevada State tournaments and a semi-final bout in the 1956 PGA tournament. His 72-hole total of 274, which was 10-under-par,. Swamped Marr, who had led the first three days of the Texas Open and carried a one stroke advantage into the final round Sunday. Johnston, an infrequent visitor to tournament . golf. . aimed at pars, stayed out of trouble and took birdies when he could in a 3-under-par 68 round. Bob Rosburg caused Johnston a lot of concern with the day’s best score, a 6-under-par 65. The stocky pro from Napa, Calif., had a 30-35—65, and the torrid front nine brought Rosburg within one stroke of Johnston at that point. But Johnston refused to crack He had birdied the first hole to go into a tie for the lead, and then scored birdies at No. 14 and 17 to win the 31st annual Open by 3 strokes over Rosburg. Meanwhile, Marr’s putter had lost its magic, touch and he scrambled in with a 2-over-par 73. This gave him a 278 total, tied for third place behind Rosburg. Tied with Marr were Bo Wininger, Jimmy Demaret and Billy Maxwell, jail with a 34-34—68 for Sunday.
