Purdue came through even better than expected and walloped Chicago, 28 to 13. Hanover won from Evansville, 38 to 18, Central Normal downed the " Federal A. C.s, 23 to 19, and Franklin evened "up the count on Earlham by upsetting the Quakers with a 28 to 17 victory. Wabash proved for the second time this Benson its superiority over the lie Pauw goal-getters, but it was not until the last two minutes of play that everyone was convinced. On the short end nf a 16 to 7 score at half time De Pauw rallied desperately in the second half and late in the frame went into the lead. Proper substitutions won for the Scarlet as Burdette and Peare, when allowed to enter the game, counted eight of Wabash's fourteen field goals. Peare won the game In the last two minutes of play, breaking a tie score with two baskets in q’uick succession. Adam with six from the field was the best scorer for the Scarlet while Laughlin and White shared the De Pauw scoring honors. Chicago was no match for Piggy Lambert’s fighting Boilermakers, and the Maroon tossers were downed by the prospective Big Ten champs, in a game in which Purdue held a distinct edge throughout. The Windy City players did cne thing exceptionally well and that was to guard Guilion, star Purdue center, so closely that he failed to score a single paint. But so much time and attention did Chicago devote to the lanky Boilermaker that Masters, Eversman and Holwerda were free to count the twentyeight points that gave the Lafayette team its sixth Conference victory. Holwerda was high with two field goals and eight points from the foul line. Masters and Eversman each scored four times from the field. McGuire and Holladay were best for Chicago. The first half ended with Purdue holding a 14 to 8 advantage. Northwestern won its first Conference victory of the season at tho expense of Indiana Saturday and in so doing furnit hed one of the biggest upsets of the present Big Ten race. Playing their best game of the year the Purdue quintet overtook an early Indiana lead and was on the long end of an S to 6 Beore when the half ended. In the last half North- ■ western began to sink baskets from long j range and soon puled far out in front or the Crimson five. McKenzie, with three field goals and nine free throws was tho main factor In the Purple victory while Thomas with three from the field was Indiana’s best point-getter. A strong offense that always came through with points at. needed moments , won a hard-fought game for Franklin | over Its old rival Earlham on the Frank- ; lin court Saturday. The BapCsts got away to a good start, but were cut down I to a 14 to 11 advantage at the half. In the j last session they spurted again and were ! never in danger after the first few minutes of Play In the final period. The Quakers fought hard and put up a strong game, but could not combat the accurate basket shooting of the winners. Ricbeson starred for Franklin with five two-poinlers while Pike counted six times from the foul line and once from the field. Townsend and Hinshaw were best for the Quakers, the latter being high i with six fouls and one field goal.

VAUGHAN’S STRATEGY EFFECTIVE AND WABASH NOSES OUT OLD RIVAL IN THRILLING BATTLE

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 20. Strategy of “big longue’’ caliber was pulled by Coach Vaughan of Wabash in the clash with De Pauw here Saturday night and enabled the Little Giant net getters to grab their second victory of the season over the Tigers, this time by a 32-to-28 score. With the contest which was undoubtedly the best staged here for several seasons by the Scarlet, nearly two days* past, basket-ball fans who witnessed the game are realizing more and more that “Pete,” the idol of all Wabash followers, pulled something in the game that few coaches would ever attempt to do; that Is to Jerk four of his regulars, three of them in the final minutes of play, and send in four second-string men in such an Important contest. But this is Just what Vaughan did and the result of the battle with Walker’s athletes tells that Vaughan slipped one over. First of all “Hippo 5 ’ Peare, the lanky rosy-cheeked freshman from Rockville, Ind., was crowned the hero of the game when he snagged two field goals with one minute and fifty seconds to go. Peare had replaced Thorn at center. But ‘‘Hippo’’ was not alone. Every one of the Little Giants who were blessed with the opportunity of performing agqainst the Invaders gave their best and helped In the win over their ancient rivals. It was toward the end of the contest

Stivers High of Dayton fell before Manual's accurate basket shooting at the “I” Saturday night, 21 to 14. The Ohio boys put up a fine defense all through the game, but succumbed to Harmeson s accuracy trom the field and from the foul line. The first half ended 7 to 5 in favor of Manual. Many shots by the visitors went wild and had they been able to connect, Manual would have been an easy Tietlm as they worked the ball down for shots about twice as often as Manual. Harmeson for the victors and English for the visitors were the stars. The high scoring mark goes to Wilton Stibbs of the Shenandoah (Iowa) High School, who recently scored fifty-one field goals in one game The game uat against the Farragut (Iowa) High School which Shenandoah won, 142 to 4. fihortrtdge t*.

Manual set the pace the greater part of the game and looked good for n victory until the final minutes of play when two foul tosses and a field goal by Weherl gave the victory to the east siders.

that Vaughan pulled ht s strategy stuff, ! After the Scarlet had a 16-to-7 lead at ; the close of the first half, the Tiger goal , getters started hitting the net w r ith deadly accuracy and within ten minutes I had grabbed enough points to tie at 20S all. Then the count was tied three times with each club connecting with three field ringers. With the score standing 26-to-26 Vaughan jerked Goldsberry and replaced him with Schanlaub. Dc Pauw snagged a basket and Vaughan jerked Crane and sent in Burdette. Burdette then tied things with a pretty shot near the goal. With the score tied again Vaughan replaced Adam with Roll, despite the fact that “Cat” had counted six field goals. Ho left Peare remain in the game as a substitute for Thorn. This meant that four second-string men and Captain Grater remained to win or lose the game. And they won it. I’ete, it is believed, replaced his regulars in order to get more speed and fiesh material on the floor, as Roll and Burdette are recognized ns two of the fastest net performers in the State. The result of the game was sent to Greencastle by wireless. More than 2,000 fans witnessed the contest. Many of them were from Indianapolis, Lafayette, Lebanon and of course Greencastle sent a largo delegation. De Pauw was not chalked up with a foul during the second half, while Wabash's first personal came three minutes before the close of the opening period. Adam was at his best In the clash. Ho hit the net from the field three times in each half, once grabbing a one-handed “put” shot. Laughlln had plenty of pep and scrap, and attempted to get Crane's • goat" by running up and wanting to shake hands wish him after each De Pauw ringer, but he layed off after Crane snagged a beauty arch shot from the corner of the floor, tying the count once in the second half. Moffett again played his steady game at back guard and was minus personal fouls. These are hard to keep away from sometimes, especially by a back guard, but “Tubby” hasn't made one ] against the Scarlet in either game. Walker and Mendenhall must have get their signals mixed ouee during the second half. Walker had a man report co the scorers to replace Mendenhall, I,i.t the Tiger captain remained In the game. Bills was carried from the floor fifteen seconds before the game ended when j he got In a mix-up. lie was not seriously injured, however Neither Bills nor Mendenhall, both good shots, snagged a field goal. White made two field goals and Langhl!n on* within a minute of play once during the second half. White was shooting from in front of the basket and his team mates were feeding him the ball. Wabash students were celebrating last night over the fact that the Tiger* have not lost to the Scarlet in football, freshman basketball, twice in varsity basket j games end to top things off right the j Wabash bowling team took three straight games from the Dj Pauw bowlers In the j afternoon Saturday. This Wabash youngster, Burdette. ! a speed demon right. lie lias be* n out most j of the season " ith an injury, but Ills lay-off didn’t affect his basket shooting and cleverness with the ball. Roll went to bed after the game and ! yesterday the doctor said he had the grippe. It Is doubtful if he will he able j to get In any more games this season. Something not far short of s storm broke loose when toe g'rap was over All during the game the fans were kept , on edge and Peare'* two sinkers toward the end was a Mg wind-up to one night j of continuous howling. Old Wabash spirit was at Its highest pitch hero today. The entire student body staged a big parade following chapel, going through the town winding up with ; a m— strolls pep meeting in front of the Crawford Hotel. The revelers then de 1 dared college off for the day in honor ; of Saturday's defeat over De Pauw. Coach Walker of De Pauw today telephoned Coach Vaughan of Wabash, and suggested that De I‘now and Wabash play two more games this set sou, iiut Vaughan declined the Invitation because of the heavy schedule; yet remaining for the Scarlet and tho fact that Indiana and Wabash tuny get together in a pair of contests. Vaughan also stated that Wabash would not consider competing in the proposed big college tourney at Indianapolis because of the stiff games still on the Scarlet program.

Mingling I live gossip with the PUGS OP THE RING

DOWNEY FORCES i FEAR GRIFFITHS Johnny Griffiths has met Bryan Downey four times in the ring and the best Bryan could do with Griffiths was to earn a draw with him. That was in the early part of 1918, ft trifle more than three years ago. Their last contest was a twelve-round affair. Today Bryan Downey claims the middleweight championship of the world by reason of bis disputed knockout recently at Cleveland of Johnny Wilson and also because of his knockout u few weeks ago of Happy Littleton at New Orleans. Comes now Anthony Downey at 21-year-old brother of Bryan Downey and he essays the task of whipping Johnny Griffiths right here in Indianapolis next Monday night. Griffiths is a veteran or some ten years' experience In the ring. He is 29 years of age and has had perhaps 200 ring battles. Anthony Downey will be fighting his twenty-fourth ring engagement Monday night. Boxing men have for years maintained that the one big asset a boxer cun possess Is hard experience. Johnny Griffiths has oodles of experience while Anthony Downey Is but a kid at the game. Whether this is going to make a lot of difference or not remains to he seen. At any rate it will be Interesting to see what the younger Downey can do with the verv battler who appeared to have his brother's goat, at least to the extent of holding him even. Probably the best line that may be drawn on the two is in the statement made today by “Biddy’ Bishop, who manages Downey. He says he will tie perfectly satisfied if Downey can but make a good showing with Griffiths. This may bo taken to mean that there is considerable trouble ahead for the Downey end of It. At least they ara expecting stiff opposition. Downey’s strict training at Cincinnati shows plainly that the boy is not going to take any undue chances with Griffiths. He will be in better shape than ever befC for the Griffths-Downey bout at Tomlinson Hall next Monday night went on sale today at the Winston billiardroom in Nor A Illinois street.
