DE PAUW-PURDUE CONTEST TOPS TONIGHT’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL CARD

Wanklin - Wisconsin, Wa-bash-Evansville THts Share Interest. By Norman Isaacs • The De Pauw-Purdue contest at Lafayette, tops tonight’s college net card with the Franklin-Wisconsin tilt at Madison, running a close second in the glare of the limelight. Many eyes will be turned to the WabashEvansville game, at Evansville, the third fray of interest, while the secondary schools will watch the results of the Huntington-Rose Poly, Danville Normal-State Normal, Vin-cennes-Jasper and Louisville Presbyterian Seminary-Hanover conflicts. Ward Lambert has not been sparing his Boilermaker squad this week and strenuous workouts have been the main dish. Lambert is not satis fled with his team and is not taking any chances on having the Tigers walk away from Lafayette with a victory over the Old Gold and Black. The veterans used by the Purdue mentor. Including Wheeler and Wil son, forwards, and Wilcox and Wright, guards, appeared to advan tage in the first game with State Normal, but Lambert is striving toward smoother teamwork. Tigers Are Strong AThi Methodists are always dan JBferous and itfi veteran team this year is not being taken lightly in college circles. The sharp-eyed Ward, who fires away from any angle that he finds himself in, is always apt to break loose, and it is a well known fact that Puckett and Sturt ridge are two of the best guards in the State. Wisconsin placed Franklin back on its card after a year’s absence with the avowed intention of defeating the Baptists to avenge the whippings Griz Wagner’s teams handed the Badgers in two previous meetings. The last time the two teams clashed the Meanwell-coached five received the worst beating it ever i received on its home floor. , Wagner is having his troubles ' with his squad. He has a number mt promising back guards on his list 1 *nd a number of forwards, but there ten’t a prospect of a floor guard. The Franklin coach is attempting to go around this by shifting King to floor guard and using Skinner at back guard. Skinner was a flash when he performed at Bedford High School, and he apparently has improved a great deal. Lyons has first call on the center Job and is holding it down in fine style. Wooden and Scott are teaming at the forwards, and with a little more practice should go over big. Little Giants Shining Wabash has been having a wild time ever since the season opened and established itself as a permanent enemy of Big Ten Conference teams OSIW romping over Northwestern and recently. “Pete” Vaughan's of flashes, Benny De Vol and "Red” Robinson, have been disturbing the net meshings with monotonous regularity, and Evansville fans probably will turn out en masse to get a glimpse of the Little Giants. Huntington is expecting to chalk up a victory at Rose Poly's expense at Terre Haute. The Engineers, with a weak defensive outfit, have been Working desperately to overcome this fault. Danville will play host to State Normal and hopes that its veteran quintet will step back into the win column.

Dec. 17.—Despite several lean years, Ohio State owns the second best football record in the Big Ten, all games considered, for the period 1913-1926, inclusive except for the “unofficial” campaign of 11918. The period covered is that since the Buckeyes entered the \ Western Conference. Michigan leads the pack, but the Wolverines were not in the Conference from 1913 until 1918. It was in 1916 and 1917 that the Buckeyes first won the Big Ten title, and had Michigan been in the Conference in those days, the tale might be slightly different. Sixty-Five Buck Victories On the basis of all games played from 1913 through 1926, excluding only 1918. the Ohio State Buckeyes have an average of .730. having won sixty-five, lost twenty-four and tied eight games.
