rjwHERE should be more than a little action at Madison, Wis., to ight when Purdue and Wisconsii get together to break the existing tie in the chase for the Big Ten cage crown. We thing Purdue will win by six or more points. Not because the Boilermakers happen to be a Hoosier team, but because we sincerely believe that the' Lafayette team has the greatest offense in the conference. The Badgers’ customary short-pass will cause the Lambertmen some trouble, of course, but not enough to do any serious harm. That, you know, happens to be just an opinion. tt tt ON TO BAINBRIDGE The phone bell rang Wednesday afternoon, "Hello.” “Hello. Say, this is George Seidensticker. I’m working at Bainbridge Friday night and thought you might want to come along. What do you say?” “You tell ’em, George—we’ll be there with bells on!”

Hurt and Forsythe, with but 34 pins handicap, landed second with 1.194. In the singles. Forsythe was the winner when he crashed out counts of 209. 276 and 170, which, with a handicap of 28. ran his total to 683. His 276 was the high single game of the meet. Carl Sturm collected three more actual pins than Forsythe. but. as his handicap was but 6. second place was the best he could do. His games were 210. 266 and 182. a total of 662. Third place was won by Wiles with 657. The Tri-State Print Craft tourney has passed into the record book, but the fellows in charge of this meet were working far into the night re-checking all scores rolled. When one realizes the amount of work involved to make a tourney of this size the success it was. it seems that the ofTiciais should be given a vote, of thanks. Every time this WTtter entered the Indiana drives during the life of the meet. Grover Williams. Fred Schleimer and Eddie Etter were on the job. After a re-check of the all-events today all prize winners will receive their awards. The Fumas-Schoen-Berais Bag series in the Indianapolis League games at the Pritchett Recreation was the only game to be decided over the two-out-of-three route. The Hotel Severin. Marotts. Silver Flash Gas. Roberson Coal and Hoosier Coffee each took three from the 3-F Coffee, Coca-Cola. Falls City Lager. Virginia Sweet and Blue Point Service Station.

Fifty-four games of better than “200” were rolled with Eddie Striebeek’s season’s record for this loop, a 287, being high. Eddie had ten in a row. all Pocket hits, but his eleventh effort went high and left the 3-6-9 spare. The large crowd present sure got a thrill out of this one. “Six-hundred” totals came close to being the rule. Rov Haislup led with 686. on. games of 201. 228 and 257. Fehr had 613; Cray, 630; Cobler. 618: E. Strlebeck, 657: A.

CHORUS CASUAL COMMENT in Bloomington World evidently does not cherish any love for Nick Kearns and Stanley Feezle who officiated in the Purdue-Indiana game last Saturday night. The scrivener in question apparently thinks that officials should not make mistakes, anytime, anywhere. Since when has man been made infallible? Nick and Stanley are among the best whistle-tooters in the middle west, according to our estimate. b a Backboard would like to compliment Manual Training High School on its team’s fine fight Wednesday in defeating Shortridge, 32 to 23, and upon the excellent backing the student body afforded the team. Shortridge also deserves more than a little credit for the fine sportsmanship displayed by its fans and team. The Manual cheer-

ing was many times better than when we last heard the boys and girls last yell. THE MELTING POT GLANCING over Duneland Dribbles in the Gary Post-Tribune brought forth more than one smile. Right off the bat, Dribbles tells about Palla of East Chicago scoring ten points, Opasic five and Zeleske eight against Elkhart. Further on we read about Cohen, an Emerson of Gary forward, going on a scoring rampage. Then we go on to find out all about Dale Wells, of Indiana University, and Arthur L. Trester, himself.

The bowlers of tne city, especially the Eastern League, sincerely regret the passing ot Edward Roth one of the most ardeit supporters of the bowling garni. who died Saturday, Feb. 18.

The Eastern League has suffered a distinct loss as Mr. Roth was admired and respected by all members of this loop.

To us, the Big Four Railway quintet is the class of the city—if not the State. Carl Howard is the greatest individual performer in the city while Kenny Roberts is a close second. Howard is tall and graceful, the most dangerous man we ever have seen under a basket and one who fits in well with teamwork. Roberts keeps improving steadily and right now is as good a guard as there is among the Indianapolis amateurs. a a a FROM SPICELAND DEAR BLACKBOARD You probably don't know wc have a redhot team, but Folcolard is *h tem tht beat Franklin, 29 to 38.

S.H.S. Team Defeated by Manual Five Red and White Outfight, Outplay Rivals in City Battle. It was a Manual night at the new Cathedral High School gym Wednesday night and the Red and White basketeers outplayed and outfought their Shortridge rivals in the last game of the city series to triumph over the Blue, 32 to 23. It was Manuel’s first victory in nineteen starts this season. Technical previously had clinched the title. Manual, backed by an ardent crowd of rooters, took the floor, full of fight and determination, slipped into an early lead and never was headed. The South Siders led at the half, 19 to 7, and at one time in the second period led by a margin of fourteen points. Laughlin, Fox and Burris were the main cogs in the rejuvenated Manual machine and while Fox and Burris were sharing in mounting up the count, Laughlin was playing a wonderful game at the floor guard post, well assisted by Light at backguard. The game was fast and rough. The large crowd was accorded plenty of action. Manual will close its season Friday afternoon at the south side gym against New Bethel. Shortridge will close Friday night at West Lafayette. Summary: Manual.
