OTRE DAME and Northwestern staged a typical Irish-Wildcat

brawl Saturday and the fans saw a demonstration of footballbasketball. Thirty-one persorial fouls were called and the Irish won the distinction of being outscored, 11-7, in the second half action and still winning, 30-27. . . . It stretched the Notre Dame victory string to 18 straight over a two-year span. . . . The Irish were held to a lone field goal in the second half, but a six-point lead piled up in the first half saved them. The slambang. battle made both teams jittery at the foul line and the Irish missed 11 free throws and the Wildcats nine. . . . It was a bruising contest and there was an unofficial “overtime” when the gun used by the timekeeper failed to fire. . . . Three Wildcats were ruled out in the second half by the personal Toul route. # 85 2 2 2 2 URDUE'S Saturday night opponent tallied 50 points, but the Boilerermakers weren't nettled and simply whipped up their offense and made it 60. . ..

By scoring more than 50 points in four consecutive non-Conference games Ward Lambert's men have Big Ten rivals wondering whether the Lafayétte machine is ever going to run down. . . .

Big Green Ties for Second Place in North Central Conference.

Rival members of the North Central Conference, the state’s most potent prep basketball league, today ‘were wondering if Technical of Indianapolis might not prove the dark herse of the loop. Coach Bayne D. Freeman's Big Green squad pulled a major surprise Saturday night when they upset the highly regarded Frankfort Hob Dogs, 27-25, in ‘a double overtime battle, to pull into a tie for second place in the North Central standings. Kokomé leads with four straight victories while Technical, Frankfort and Richmond have each won two and lost one. Four: other local teams turned in victories Saturday night. Shortricige nosed out Southport, 20-18, in a tight defensive battle. Broad Ripple scored its first victory in five starts, defeating Washington, 32-27.

‘| Manual made it three in a row by

downing Greenfield, 29-26, and Sacred Heart won from Fishers, 3025. Crispus Attucks lost to Clear Springs, 45-23.

Several Leaders Take Time Out

Teams dominating state prep basketball today looked forward to a week’s vacation and a few “breather” games. The Kokomo Cats will rest a seven-game winning streak and

Central of Ft. Wayne, although it had pointed for them for two weeks, lost Saturday, 28 to 26—the same slim margin that has featured all Kokomo games. Elwood should give Bedford little opposition Wednesday when the Stonecutters go after their 10th ccnsecutive win. Bedford, still bothered by more than the usual amount of injuries, will then have time to get in shape for the battle against the other top-ranking southern Indiana. quintet—New Albany— Jan. 7. New Albany Strong New Albany meets Male of Louisville in its last game before the Bedford tilt. The 32-30 victory over Vincennes proved New Albany able to challenge anything in the state. Hammond will close its 1937 court games ‘Wednesday with Washington of East Chicago, cellar champions of the western division of the Northern Indiana Conference. The Wildcats, having crushed Hammond Fech and Emerson, already are pointing for the state tournament. Horace Mann of Gary, western division leader, meets Froebel Thursday in a tussle which should let them recover from the Valparaiso scare last week. Horace Mann, 37; Delphi, 24, is enough evidence of the Horsemen’s strength. Southern teams haven't scored a decisivie victory over Delphi. Huntingburg’s Happy Hunters will put a halt to their cage activities after Thursday’s encounter with Boonville. The Hunters then await tournament action New Year's Day. A week of inactivity having rested them, the Martinsville Artesians will attempt to increase their winning streak with Bloomington. Wednesday and Elwood Friday. These two non-Conference foes will not challenge Martinsville’s South Central League lead.

When the season is over most of these sterling sportsmen are down to their last imported
