Victory Over Northwestern Tuesday Will Tie Purdue for Big Ten Net Lead

Conference Basketball Race Reaches Exciting Stage Michigan-Minnesota and Ohio State-lowa Games Tonight. Things are getting warm in the Big Ten basketball race these days and games this week may have an important bearing on the final championship. Four of the teams are busy tonight. In order to stay in the running Michigan will have to defeat Minnesota at the Gophers' home floor.

The Wolverines lost at Chicago Saturday night, 20 to 18, and dropped out of the top berth into a tie for third while the Maroons took the lead. A victory tonight would put Michigan into a tie for second place with Purdue. The other contest on the schedule tonight is Ohio State at Illinois. Each of these teams has a .500 percentage, although Ohio has played two more games. Ohio the Favorite The winner will step ahead of the loser in the standing. The Buckeyes are slight favorites over Illinois and the Michigan-Minnesota contest is a toss-up. Michigan beat the Gophers one point at* Anri Arbor. Purdue almost without a doubt will step into a tie for first place with Chicago Tuesday night. Northwestern piays at Lafayette and should prove “meat” for the Boiler Makers. Purdue’s big test comes Saturday night when Michigan is met at Ann Arbor. On the same night lowa is at Chicago. If the Maroons slip it would kive Purdue a chance to take first (position in the race with a victory. Badgers Meet Uiinl Wisconsin, another <>ne of the teams which has lost only one game so far, will have a worthy foe in Illinois Saturday.* The game is to be played at Madison and, with the advantage of the home floor, the Badgers should win. The Indiana University five very probably will have its hands full at Ohio State Saturday, as the Buckeyes have one of the most dangerous teams in the Conference at present. The two leading scorers of the Big Ten will meet in this battle. At present Canningham of Ohio is in front with 75 points and Logan of Indiana second with 73.

GOLF SERIES NO. 8 Evans’ Title Tourney Average Is .756 By JOE WILLIAMS XEA Service Staff Writer

| . MONG the veteran camI • paigners Chick Evans prob--1 v ( ably has the most remarkable winning average in golf. This is to say. he has been beaten fewer times and won often-

er in national championship matches than any other player. Over a stretch of twelve campaigns the Chicago Crack has Clicked off thirty-four triumphs againsteleven reversals, a batting average, so to speak, of ,756. That’s class! Jess Sweetser, Yale youth, has a better average in amateur play. So has Gene Sarazen in professional match play. But these fellow's are mere competitive infants in the game.

At least in comparison with Evans and his long career. Here are the eleven distinctive amateurs in this country holding decisions over Evans: Chandler, Eagen, Bill Fownes, Fred Herreshoff, Jerry Travers. John Anderson, E. M. Byers, Ned Sawyer, Francis Ouimet, Jesse Guilford, Jess Sweetser and Willie Hunter. Evans’ record in American golf is almost without a parallel. He has twice won the national amateur. Eight times, all told, he has gone as far as the final or semi-final round. He has won the national open once, and finished second once. One year Evans won both the open and the amateur. Inci-

BUTLER TEAM ON ROAD THIS WEEK FOR THREE GAMES Pagetnen Meet Wisconsin, Marquette and Hanover — Notre Dame on Trip. Among the State college basketball teams outside o fthe Big Ten. Butler has about the hardest row to hoe this week. The local team plays three [ games away from home. On a northern trip, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Irvington five stops off at Wisconsin first and then cakes on Marquette the next night. Other Hoosier squads will testify to the strength of these, teams. At Hanover Saturday Saturday night Butler goes south for a little change of climate and meets Hanover at that school’s gym. It is a strenuous week. Notre Dame also did not choose a bed of roses this week with Indiana at Bloomington on the schedule for Tuesday and Wabash at Crawfordsville on Wednesday. The Little Giants defeated Notre Dame at South Bend. State Normal and Rose Poly clash at Terre Haute on Tuesday night in a game in which the Teachers seem to have a big edge.

dentally, he set a record in the open that year, 286, which never has been equaled, by amateur or professional player. Evans' most brilliant feat in the amateur was a spurt of nine-

teen holes in seventyone strokes, this against Francis Ouimet in the finals in * Five under even fours is neat golf in a championship test. Evans’ advice to golfers is this: "Strive for a simple, easy style.” Watch Evans play and you get what he means. His grip Is simplicity itself, different, too, from the Vardon, the interlocking and the popular V-grip. Evans holds his clubs with both thumbs

EVANS

down the shaft, with the left hand partly covered by the right. Keep that in mind. His doctrine of simplicity is further evidenced in his stanpe, which is the same for all shots. Both toes are turned slightly outward but on a line parallel to the direction leading from ball to flag. Thus neither the right nor left foot Is advanced beyond the other. That this produces a great aim plifying effect is obvious, for a change of stance also means a change of swing. That Evans’ system of simplicity Is practical is borne out by the fact he is probably the most accurate shot maker in the game.

Taylor’s Manager Airs That Columbus Verdict Chicago. Feb. 9. Sports Editor. Indianapolis Times. Indianapolis. Ind Bud Taylor lost his first referee s decision Thursday night at ColumbuH with Eddie O'Dowd. While the referee gave the decision against Taylor he was the only one lo the place who thought Taylor lost, and probably the reason for Ills decision was due to the fact that O’Dowd's manager would not stand for any one else to referee except this particular person. There are six referees licensed in Columbus and O’Dowd refused every oue of the licensed ones and sent to Zanesville. Ohio, to have his own man In there O'Dowd is strictly a defensive fighter, and had Taylor fought in the same manner as he did the chances are they both would have been put out of the ring. Taylor chased O'Dowd the entire ten rounds. The supposed knockdown in the sixth round was not a knockdown but was due to Taylor s effort In making a swing at O'Dowd who was running away. Bud was off balance and tripped. He went to his knees jumped right up before the referee could get near him and started chasing O’Dowd again. Taylor came out of the fight without any marks and also made the "hit " of the two with the crowd, who booed and hissed the decision. Taylor cut O'Dowd's ear and eye. After the fight with Nabel at Indianapolis. Feb. 18. Bud meets Earl McArthur at Sioux City. Feb. 29, and P&ncho Villa at Milwaukee, March 7. Yours Truly, EDDIE LONO. Manager of Bud Taylor.

Basketball Problems

Ques. —When a violation is committed is it necessary for the referee to pet the ball and give it to a player out of bounds at the proper point? Ans.—No, it is not necessary for the referee to handle the ball, and often he can get the game -roing more quickly by not doing so. He should be easeful, however, to see that the ball is put in play properly at the right point. Ques. —-A player had been In a certain game twice and had been" taken out. He reported to the scorers and to the referee to take part in the game a third time, whereupon the referee called a foul on him because a player may re-enter the game only once. The player claimed that a foul could not be called because he had not yet played for the third time. Was the player right? ‘Ans.—No. A substitute becomes a player when he has reported to and been recognized by the referee. It is not necessary for play to be actually resumed.

SISLER MAY TRY COMEBACK EFFORT ON HURLING SLAB i- - Plans Mound Trial If He Fails at First Base. JBP By United Xetcs ST. LOUIS, Feb. 11.—George Sisler. netv manager of the St, Louis Browns, will try to pitch If his eyes, which kept him out of the game all last seac son, again refuse to let him play first base, according to a letter from Sisler to Walter Frisch, vice president of the Browns. "I have been working out regularly, and each day I note an Improvement,” Slsler’s letter said. Sincere in Effort “But even it I should decide that I am not ready, to play at first base, I am absolutely certain that I can try my hand at pitching and I am training with that possibility in view.” When Sister joined the Browns in 1915, his fame in college and semi-pro circles w’as chiefly as a pitcher. In an inter-class game, facing the best batters of the University of Michigan in 1911. Sisler struck out twenty men in seven innings, didn’t allow a single hit and allowed only six men to make as much as a foul.
