IT'S PURDUE’'S TURN WITH CATS

TO LASSO STEPHENS

I. U. AIMS

PU RDUE'S heavy date tonight is with Coach Lonborg’s Big Ten pacesetters in the Boilermakers’ fieldhouse. e+. It's one of the key games of the night in the Western Conference due to the early season surge of the Wildcats. , , . The other key struggle will be at Madison, Wis.,, where undefeated Michigan, going like the wind, collides with the Wisconsin Badgers. . . . That Wolverine outfit is traveling at a steam roller clip as Minnesota will attest after being smothered by Michigan, 31-16, Saturday. : Indiana U. basketeers will be getting their second look at Jowa's hardwood representatives tonight when the Hawkeyes invade Bloomington. . , . The Hawks defeated the Hoosiers by a nine-point margin in Iowa City, Jan. 8, and the proverbial “bitter battle” is likely to occure at this second encounter. . . . Ben Stephens, forward, tallied 23 points against Indiana at Iowa and Coach Everett Dean's

men hope to lasso him in the return tilt.

JNDIANA followers will get a special treat in a betweenhalves ceremony. . . . Corby Davis, the Hoosiers’ AllAmerica fullback, will be presented with the Chicago Tribune trophy, given annually to the grid star in the Big Ten who has been adjudged of most value to his team. After tonight there will be a lull in Big Ten activities for Purdue and Indiana while the hardwood athletes tackle the semester's final examinations. . . . Play will be resumed by Indiana on Feb. 1 against Butler at Indianapolis and by Purdue against Indiana at West Lafayette on Feb 5. Meanwhile, Butler is viewing with alarm its engagement with undefeated Indiana Central in the fieldhouse tomorrow night. , , » The Greyhounds have won 11 in a row and are steamed up to repeat last year’s triumph over the hapless Bulldogs who took it on the chin Satur-

day at the hands of Danville Central Normal, 22-15. = = = =

T was worth the price of admission just to watch Dave Williams, Central Normal's star, make Butler look like a bunch of novice high schoolers. . .. The Bulldogs were way off stride and their shooting was miserable. . . . But even so, it is doubtful that they could have beaten Normal if they had been in top shape. . . . Danville had height and speed, a good defense and magnificent ball-handling ability. . . . They rely more on their ability to handle the ball than on any fast-breaking plays. When Butler was on the offense, Danville played a close man-to-man defense and having more speed, was able to keep the Bulldogs well out from the basket. Almost all of Butler's shots were hurried.

” » » id = UTLER fouled a lot, as slower teams always do. ... To give you an example of how much faster the Danville boys were: At one time Williams slapped the ball out of Merrill's hands as he was coming down the floor: the ball went bouncing down the floor and two Butler men turned and raced for it, but Williams, starting yards behind them, sprinted right past them, took the ball on the dribble and pounded for the basket. He missed, but it was a great play. Williams made one remarkable shot. . . . He was to one side and under the basket. ... He made a difficult twist and potted at the basket with one hand and the bali went in. . . . He got a great hand. = = = = = TH five minutes to play, Williams and Gerald Roudebush went to the bench and sat down. . . . Two subs went in and Butler gave signs of waking up and going to town. .. . Wijliams jumped up and down on the bench like a Mexican jumping bean, jerked off his sweater and dashed right back in . . . and as soon as he and Roudebush got back on the court, Butler lost control of the ball and the game was as good as over. Maybe that gives you an idea. = = EJ

PY Punttaies at intermission and in the early part of the second half, Purdue finally found its batting eye, used its speed to outrun the Badgers down the floor and finished on the long end of a 40-34 score Saturdsy. . . . The contest climaxed a long sports program and campus open house celebrating the dedication of Purdue's new fieldhouse anr gymnasium. . . . Maybe it was the dedication which affected the Boilermakers and threw them off stride in the first half. . . . At any rate, they looked the part of a junior college team and the exhibition by both squads was enough to drive their coaches off the reservation. Lecturing between haives must have been inspirational or “terrific” because both teams came out of the fog and played big league basketball. . . . The score was deadlocked four times in the second period before Purdue staged a spectacular rally which put it safely in front. . ..

GAMES TONIGHT

Northwestern. at Purdue. Michigan at Wisconsin, Minnesota at Illinois. Iowa at Indiana.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Its up to Purdue tonight to check Northwestern’s surprising sweep through the early stage of the 1938 Big Ten basketball campaign. Leading the league with four straight victories, Northwestern suddenly has become a definite threat to the early favorites—Michigan and Purdue. Michigan, only other undefeated team in the Big Ten, also risks its perfect record against much-im-proved Wisconsin. Minnesota’s defending cochampions, now virtually qut of title consideration with three losses in a row, meets the other champion, Illinois, and Iowa plays at Indiana. Three noteworthy things occurred in Saturday night's round of five games: 1. Northwestern established itself as a contender by dumping Indiana in an overtime game, 32 to 29.

Dehner Scoring Hero 2. Lewis (Pick) Dehner of Illinois, the Conference scoring leader, tied the Big Ten record for a single game by popping in 29 points against Chicago. Joe Reiff did it for Northwestern at the height of his

the end of the first period. The de-

feat kept the cochampions in the cellar, tabbed Michigan as top defensive team in the league. The Purdue-Northwestern game at Lafayette should be a thriller. Purdue was hard pressed by Wisconsin and barely rallied enough to win in the closing minutes, 40 to 34. Northwestern's balanced attack, however, may fall apart under the pressure of Purdue's high speed offensive which is due for another big night. Although the Boilermakers scored 83 points in their last two games, that was below par.

Michigan Faces Hurdle

Michigan's task with Wisconsin also will be a tough one. The Badgers, led by Hod Powell, George Rooney and Charles Jones, likely will figure in determining the next champion although they have little chance of sharing the title themselves. Continued high-caliber play of Pick Dehner, who may unseat Young as scoring champion with a new league record, made Illinois a favorite over Minnesota. Chicago, defeated 51 to 34, was a suitable trial-horse for the revamped Illini who lost their star defensive guard, Jay Wardley, in the Purdue game. Harry Lasater, substitute center, and Carl Davies, a sophomore, worked into Wardley’s old job. Indiana apparently has too much power for Iowa which lost Saturday to Ohio State, 48 to 29. Ohio State and Chicago are idle tonight. The standings: TP. OP. 150 129 Me = 133 119 185 133 138 164 137 142 me 102 105 123 82 105 95 151

Kautskys Whip League Leaders

Capping a desperate Kautsky rally, Bill Shroeder hit a tip-in shot with five seconds to play and the Kautskys nosed out the Akron Goodyears, 33 to 31, at the Armory yesterday afternoon. The Goodyears. National Pro League champs last year, led the entire game, until Bob Kessler knotted the score with 15 seconds to go. Kessler went under the basket to score and added a third and tying point when fouled. Next Sunday, the local pros will face the Philadelphia Commanders, Negro quintet, at the Armory.

The ball begins to go back on the®

first step, is at the height of its rearward arc on the second, descends on the third, and is delivered on the slide. The approach should be effortless. One totally unnecessary move made by some bowlers that I note in particular is a tendency to throw the right leg to the left at the finish of the slide. This pulls the delivery off line. It frequently causes the bowler to fall over the . line, It isn't necessary to turn the wrist a great deal to obtain a good hook. Most topnotch bowlers use Er a quarter turn. The mo-

tion, of course, is from right to left, and the spin in that direction works the ball into the pocket from the side. On new’x finished alleys, a bowler sometim. will find that his hook will not come ap to the 1-3 pocket. To remedy this. the bowler must move to the right and slow down the ball. On old alleys, the hook sometimes takes too much spin, inasmuch as it obtains a better grip and breaks to the Brooklyn side. In this case, move to the left and speed up the delivery.

MEDWICK RETURNS CONTRACT UNSIGNED

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 17 (U. P). — Joe Medwick, St. Louis Cardinal outfielder who led the National League in batting last year, today announced he is returning his 1938 contract unsigned. Medwick said he was disappointed in the Cardinal salary offer, on basis of his expectations of an increase for his heavy stickwork during the 1937 campaign. “I guess they're having a little fun

As the result of Central Normal’s 22-15 victory, the Butler five was dropped from first division ranks in the conference. During Saturday's night's exhibition of ragged ball playing the Hinklemen “went sour” on their field goal attempts and scored their initial marker after

Indiana Central defeated the Bulldogs last year. Jerry Steiner, Bulldog sophomore forward who saw action Saturday night, has recovered from his ankle injury and is exnected to start at forward with either Bill Geyer or George Perry. The remainder of Coach Tony Hinkle's probable starting team will consist of Bill Merrill, center, Art Cosgrove and Laural Poland, guards.

RILEY SMITH’S TOE WINS FOR REDSKINS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.—Conversions after touchdowns by Riley Smith gave the Washington Redskins, champions of the National Professional Football League, a 14-to-13 victory over a Pacific Coast all-star team in the mud at Kezar Stadium here yesterday.

Washington's Victory Hailed By Cage Fans

Free - Shooting Type of Game Enables City Champions to Repeat.

Local net fans today were hailing the Washington Continenta'= -.ho repeated as city series cha.upions with a stunning 27-to-25 victory over Shortridge in the series finale at Tech Gym. Given not more than an outside chance to repeat their 1937 success in this year's event, the Conti nentals whipped three clubs to re« tain their laurels as city public high school champions, Coach Rowland Jones presented what was probably the * ‘shootingest™, outfit ever to bear the Continental colors. They averaged nearly 70 shots a game for three series battles as compared to an average of about 45 shots for their opponents. Marion (Red) Carter, flashy for= ward, led the victors’ basket barrage, continually trying for field goals from all possible positions. In the final game, the Jonesmen employed a wide-open offense whicn lured the Blue Devils into a highspeed game. Too much speed proved fatal to the Shortridge attack.

Lose Early Lead

Trying to match the fast Washe ington offense, Shortridge was cone stantly heckled by the loose zone defense of the West Siders. The Blue Devils consequently lost the ball 23 times in the forecourt withe out getting a shot. ~ The loss marked the sixth time in nine years that the North Siders had reached the title round only to be relegated to the place position Coach Kenny Peterman’s pastime= ers sped away to a big lead in the first quarter, causing Blue adherents to speculate on how high a score their team would run up. In the second quarter, the scene shifted and Carter gave his team a shorte lived advantage which presaged the Blue Devil defeat, but Shortridge led, 18 to 16, at half-time. It was Carter who tied the score on the first play of the third period with a right-hand fling as he drove away to the left of the basket.

Continentals Take Over

Immediately after Carter's score, Emory Schlake, Shortridge guard, tipped in a rebound to give his quintet the lead for the last time. From that time on, Washington

was in complete charge of the ball game, The Blue Devils attempted to rally near the end and for the final three minutes, the crowd stood and roared as the North Siders flung several vain field attempts. In the final minute, Forward Don Bruce tipped in a rebound, leaving Shortridge two points back. Alder Breiner, substituted for Les Moreland, flipped the ball from midcourt as the gun sounded but the sphere became tangled up in the backboard supports and Washington had conpleted the defense of its title.

Blue Reserves Win

Shortridge’s reserves repeated as champions with a 22-to-18 decision cver Manual, first loss of the year for the South Siders. Manual missed seven of 15 free throws attempts, main cause of their defeat. This game saw Manual fighting back repeatedly to tie the score after Shortridge had moved out in front. Both teams hit sensational shots from midfloor. Guards Bill Hardy and Ralph Hesler led the Blue and White to victory with four baskets apiece,
