The outcome of the

contests came as somewhat of a shock to persons believing the Big Ten the class of the nation’s basketeering prowess, for what Pitt didn’t do to Conference clubs wasn’t worth mentioning. Michigan, Northwestern, Chicago, lowa and Ohio State were the five quintets which learned that the East does turn out a good basketball team now and then. Saturday

A free-for-all, with cues as the weapons, was in progress today at Harry Cooler’s parlor and the Columbia Club on the' fourth day of the Western amateur three-cushion billiard tournament. Lewis Vogler was making a great fight to bring the championship to Indianapolis, and Bud Westhus strove equally hard to lug the big silver bowl back to St. Louis. Dr. A. J. Harris, champion, was back a notch by reason of his first defeat, but still was rated one of the strongest players in the field. Wednesday's play served further to bring W. C. Nusbaum back inio the calculations. Vogler made a speed record on Wednesday night that probably will not be equaled this tournament, when he defeated Rubens in fifty-

sota, Wisconsin and broke even with Northwestern. And the Middle West will be looking to the Irish to puncture the wonderful record of the Easterners.
