Newcastle Hopes ‘Basil’ Black Cat Mascot, Will Be Evil Omen for Technical Tonight; There Is Also Another Huffman With Whom to Reckon.

F Tech loses to Newcastle tonight it will be a “catastrophe.” When the Newcastle basketball team was dressing for its game with Archie Chadd’s Indians at Anderson last week a half-grown black cat somehow gained entrance to the south vestibule of the gymnasium and, frightened, dashed into the Trojans’ dressing room. : Coach Wilbur N. (String) Allen and his players dismissed the incident as of little consequence at the moment. But Newcastle defeated Anderson in the game that followed and someone conceived the idea that the feline was an omen of good luck. Hence the Trojans adopted the animal as a mascot. : ~The ebony creature was taken back to the Rose City, fed generously and nick-named “Basil.” According to re- ~ ports from Newcastle, the cat now has a more or less permanent residence in the school gymnasium, subject, perhaps, to the will and whims of the caretaker. » » ” : NIGHT Newcastle comes to Indianapolis to play Tech- = nical in a North Central Conference game. Judging by recent records of games between the two schools, Newcastle is well quali without the aid of good luck omens. During _ the last five games the Trojans have won four, as follows: 1931-32—Newcastle, 35; Technical, 8. 1932-33—Technical, 30; Newcastle, 19. 1933-34—Newcastle, 28; Technical, 20. 1934-35—Newcastle, 35; Technical, 14. 1935-36—Newcastle, 27; Technical, 19. That 1931-32 meeting saw Newcastle completely humili- | ating Tech and yet the Big Green team won the North Central Conference title that season. In the game with the Trojans, Vern Huffman, first of a long line of Newcastle Huffmans and present. Indiana University star, held “Cow-

hoy” Edwards, Tech ace, to a couple of free throws. ” » ”

ANOTHER Huffman will be seen in action on the Tech floor tonight. He's Gilbert, captain of the Newcastle aggregation and a good guard, from all reports. At present Gilbert ranks third in the North Central Conference scoring, having made five field goals and seven free throws in two games for a total of 17 points. | Last week against Kokomo, Bayne Freeman's Tech quinet hit only six baskets in 45 tries for a percentage of .133. : >

Entrants in the singles and doubles are scheduled to take the decks during tomorrow's activities, with several outstanding individuals in- _ cluded on the schedule. A solid . booster squad from Dayton, O., is ‘to wind up the two days of action " on the 9:30 shift tomorrow night. _ The singles and doubles shooters are to take over the drives on the 11:30 a. m. and 1:30, 3:30, 5:30 and 8:30 p. m. shifts. Although the record five-man total tacked up by Michelobs of Chicago last Saturday, is evidently gut of reach of other competing quintets, several star aggregations g on tonight's card are of dethroning the leaders.

Game Tonight

Perry and Poland Likely to Start Against Earlham Quintet Here.

hardwood season practically upon him, Coach Tony Hinkle last night again shifted the lineup that will start against the Earlham Quakers tonight at the fieldhouse. Two sophomores, George Perry and Laurel Poland, are the latest additions to the Bulldog quintet. Perry will start at one forward post with Earl Gerkensmeyer, a senior, at the other. Perry is a former Shortridge High School star and played last year on Coach Frank Heddon’s freshmen team. “Big” Bill Merrill, a junior, also

the pivot position well under control. He has been doing excellent defensive work under the basket. _ Poland will co-star at the guard positions with Willard Fawcett. Poland comes from Brownsburg. His fine defensive work in scrimmages during the past few nights has earned him a place on the varsity. For the past week Hinkle has been stressing defensive plays to stop the fast scoring combinations of the Earlham five. The Bulldogs will also have to face the powerful Pittsburgh Panthers Monday night without practice between the two games. Doc Carlson’s team is rated one of the fastest teams in the East and their “figure eight” running attack is still causing their opposition no end of trouble. * : Last season the Panther quintet invaded the fieldhouse and defeated the Butler cagemen 36 to 28. The only two regulars lost from last season’s squad are Ted Roderick, a forward, and Peter Noon, center. These two have been replaced by William Jesko and Joseph Garcia.

Purdue Meets Bradley Tech

Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind.; Dec. 12—Purdue University’s basketball quintet is to make its second start of the season here tonight against Bradley Tech of Peoria, Ill. Two former Hoosier high school stars, Gordon Horstman of Logansport and Lester Getz of Goshen, are expected to start at the. forward positions for Bradley. Other mainstays with the Peoria five, which dropped its opener with Iowa, 33 to 27, last week, are Darwin Hutchins, 6-foot-5-inch center, who was an outstanding member of the Thornton prep team which won the Illinois championship, and Ted Panish, versatile all-around athlete, who was named as the ace backfield gridder in the Little Nineteen Conference this year. Coach Ward Lambert of Purdue devoted most of his preparatory work for tonight’s game to improving the Boilermaker defense. He expects to start Johnny Sines and Jewell Young at forwards; Jim Seward at center, and Glen Downey and Pat Malaska at guards.
