Thriller Games Mark College Clashes —Gibbons Assured of Second Chance

DE PAUW, FRANKLIN AND IRISH FORCED TO LIMIT \ Wabash Surprises Methodists by Great Defense State Champs Win in Overtime From Terre Haute Normal, Not even in the memory of the “oldest inhabitant” has there been so many close basketball scores. Thursday night in this State two college games were decided by one point and another went overtime with the margin of victory three points. De Pauw had a terrific battle at Crawfordsville to win from Wabash, 20 to 19; Notre Dame nosed out Kalamazoo Normal, 22 to 21; Franklin was forced into overtime by State Normal at Terre Haute for a 35-to-32 victory.

Perhaps the outstanding: achievement was the fight of Wabash against the Methodists. The netters from Greencastle were outstanding favor ites. but that only seemed to make Coach Vaughan's men more determined, and the way they stopped the De Pauw attack was a great surprise. Impregnable Defense " One of the lowest score twenty minutes ever'recorded in Hoosier net annals was the result of an almost impregnable defense by both clubs in the second period. After the first half had ended 17 to 14 in favor of De Pauwr. tile Greencastle aggregation made only three points in the final period, and Wabash did little better with only five points. It is doubtful if there ever was such a scarcity of scoring between two good Hoosier college fives. If W abash could have stopped White they would have stopped De Pauw because that clever forward tossed in six field goals and two from the foul line for fourteen of the twenty points. The Wabash scoring was more evenly divided with Chadwick leading the way with two from the field and five foul tosses. Franklin Wins Thriller Some of these days Franklin College is going to lose one of these overtime affairs. Some of these days Vandivier is not going to come through in the pinch. But it has not happened yet—and maybe never will, for that matter. The Baptists have the winning habit, and from all indications just can’t get away from it. Pretty tough—for the other fellows. State Normal wns all set and primed for the Johnson County boys Thursday night, and how they did ramble! The first half ended 16 to 16. and at the end of the game the score was tied at 29 to 29. Vandivier's goal put Franklin ahead just before the regulation time ended, but Van Horn uncorked one from the center that knotted things up about i thirty seconds before the final gun. Vandivier in Pinch In the overtime the Normals counted a field goal and free throw before Franklin scored. With defeat staring them in the face, the Champs did what they have always done —made some baskets. Vandivier crashed through for two and Johnny Gant added another. Franklin had won another contest. Notre Dame found its hands full with the Kazoo five, and it was only a long shot by Kizer in the final minute that gave them victory by 1 point. Crowe led the scoring with four from the field and a foul goal. Kizer defeated the Normalites last year in almost identical fashion. The Butler freshmen were defeated at Franklin by the yearlings there by a score of 22 to 17 in a tight tussle. The Baptist hopefuls pulled away’ only in the last few minutes. Underwood, former Franklin High School center, was heavy’ scorer for the winners with 13 of their points. King played a fine game at back guard. Butler missed close-in shots that might have changed the complexion of things if they’ had been made. Wakefield and Floyd showed up well for the losers. Beloit Five Wins B y United Press BELOIT. Wis.. Jan. 11.—Beloit College basketball team Thursday night defeated the Hamlin College five by a score of 30 to 28.
