Ohio State Is In As Big Ten Title Holders CHICAGO (UPl>—The Big Ten basketball season goes into its final week of play tonight with i Purdue and lowa in a battle for I second place. Ohio State quashed any mathematical title chances for either runner-up contender when it captured its second consecutive league championship in Saturday night’s 91-83 breeze over Michigan State. The Buckeyes officially wind up their campaign in a televised afternoon game with Illinois at Champaign Saturday. A victory would improve their already spotless record to 14-0 in the conference, and 24-0 for the season. lowa, which holds a half-game edge over third place Purdue, meets Michigan State on the Spartan floor tonight, and is scheduled to close Saturday night at Northwestern. Victories in both road games would clinch second place for the Hawkeyes. The Boilermakers, now 9-4, are idle tonight, but will close their campaign 24 hours early in a Friday night match with visiting Wisconsin. In tonight’s other games, Illinois is at Michigan where the Wolverines need a victory to escape last place, and Wisconsin goes to Indiana. lowa and Purdue both suffered defeats Saturday. Indiana snapped out of a recent slump to defeat the Hawkeyes, 78-69, and Illinois broke a five - game losing streak with an 85 -75 victory over the Boilermakers. In other games, Minnesota clinched fourth place with a final 8-6 record by beating Michigan 73-70, and Wisconsin upset Northwestern 75 - 61. The night’s scoring ace was John Tidwell who poured in 43 points in Michigan’s losing effort. Tidwell’s marksmanship established a team and field house scoring record. I

HP - 1 ■ I --I WlmcFtDCnS t Midwest Area In Icy Grip t By United Press International A killer tornado ripped into Indiana today and winter locked the northern Midwest in an icy grip of snow and freezing rain.

Southern Minnesota schools were closed and the Twin Cities battled nearly a foot of snow. Gale warnings went up along the Great Lakfrt..
