SCARLET-TIGER CLASH TONIGHT FEATURE GAME Bitter Rivals Meet at Greencastle—Butler at Illinois—- > Dentals Here. I. U. VS. CAMP BENNING The W abash-De Pauw came at Greencastle this evening forms the headliner for a big night of basket-baU effort on the part of Indiana college teams. Other f ames tonight of interest to Hoosier net ollowers are the Butler-Illinois contest at Urbana, Dentals vs. Hose Poly in Indianapolis, Indiana vs. Camp Benning at Bloomington and Crane vs. ' aipo at Valparaiso. Nine points to the bad by the comparative score route, the Wabash basket bailers will invade Greencastle tonight intent on pulling up to an even rating in the State championship race at the expense of the Old Gold. This game is attracting more interest than cny previous contest played this season and the struggle that will take place tonight is certain to justify advance predictions of a real battle. De Pauw is the slight favorite bv virtue of her nine-point dope margin, 'but since past athletic experiences between the two institutions have shown that dope is a mighty small thing to be considered, confidence is not lacking in either camp. . t . „ Pat T'age and his Butler basket-ball players started out after more Big Ten game early this morning. The locals are going to tackle the University of Illinois, prospective first division finisher in the Big Ten race, at Urbana tonight, and with the dope pointing about the same way it did when Pat pitched his athletes against Wisconsin and Chicago, are prepared to deal out some corresponding results. Page has been fortunate in being able to use bis star players sparingly against Notre Dame and Bose Poly and should be able to throw a comparatively fresh team at the Conference five. Eariham beat the Dentals last night and Butler beat Rose Poly, so when the Dentals take on the Engineers tonight at Shortridge High Schol. dope will be manufactured in large quantities. It is hard to pick a winner in this contest and the game should be a real treat to local fans. Hoosier fans will also be able to get something of a line on the relative strength of Indiana and Purdue tonight when the Crimson takes on Camp Benning, the team that Purdue beat yesterday by a 42 to 26 score. READY FOR TIIE WHISTLE. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. T— De Pauw Tiger basketeers were crouched in their lairs today awaiting the coming of evening when they meet the Wabash quintette at 7:30 o’clock here in the Bowman gymnasium. It is expected that 2,500 fans will see the game, which will be the first played between the two rival schools this season. To get away from the excitement Coach Walker accompanied the De Pauw freshman basketeers to Clinton last night, where they played the Clinton High School quintettte. Coach Walker is developing his freshman material to fill vacancies in the 1922-1023 Tiger varsity five, which will be made by the graduation Captain Mendenhall, Cannon and Moffett next June. Coach Walker intends to use the following line-up tonight against Wabash: Cannon and White, forward; Captain Mendenhall, center, and Young and Moffett, guards.
