PURDUE AND OHIO STATISTICS

FIGURES INDICATE CLOSE TILT

S a result of that 23-13 basketball comedy between Purdue and Illinois the other night the Boilermakers’ scoring average dipped to 381% in six Big Ten games. . . . On the defensive side it is 8214. . . . The record of Northwestern, coleaders, shows 8414 and 8214. « « « Michigan, in third place, carries an average of 3324 to 2914 for opponents. Ohio State, which has climbed out of the second division to fourth position, is clicking at a pace of 38 3-7 to 33 3-7... . Watch out for a bitter battle when the Boilermakers and the Bucks clash at Columbus Saturday. Wisconsin is sure to be a constant threat, according to the dope sheet. . . . The Badgers’ scoring average of 40 points a game is the best in the Conference, but their defense does not measure up and is too high at 861%. . . . Tied with Wisconsin for fifth is Minnesota, whose averages are 32 and 3114. = » » Ld NDIANA still has time to go places, if the Hoosiers kick up their defense. .. . They are all right at dunking the leather in their own basket, but too many points go the other way. . . . The figures are 39 and 40 2-7. . Other statistics: Iowa, 35 and 389; Illinois, 36 and 40 3old Chicago, 31 3-5 and 46 2-5. Chicago has lost 81 consecutive Big Ten games and the last taste of victory came in 1935 on Feb. 23. . . . The Maroons edged Iowa on that date, 41-40, after losing nine in a row. ... Then they dropped their two remaining contests of the season, lost all 12 in 1936 and again in 1937, and so far this year have dropped five in a row.

RANK KAUTSKY, Indianapolis sportsman whose hobbies are basketball, baseball and golf, is arranging a rare hardwood treat at Butler Fieldhouse for Monday, Feb. 28. . . . He has received acceptances for a game here between the Original Celtics of New York, claimants of the world professional title, and the New York Renaissance, world Negro champions. The Celtics are barnstorming in the South and the Renaissance are touching all the bases in the Middle West. . . . The Celtics believe in spreading the gospel of basketball and Mr. Kautsky will suggest they hold a clinic before the game and illustrate all the finer points for the edification of the fans. . . . They bounce and pass the ball with the “greatest of ease” and seldom miss the hoop when it's time to shoot.

OLLEGE and high school coaches will be special guests at the Celtic-Renaissance game and Mr. Kautsky hopes to win enough support in his venture to establish it as an annual attraction on the Indianapolis sports calendar. . Local sports-goers are aware of the strength and skill of the Renaissance who have trounced about everything in the state in the professional and independent field. The Celtics are a power in the East and their all-star squad includes such famed players as Dutch Dehnert, Dave Banks and Nat Hickey. . . . Others are Pat Herlihy, Rusty Saunders, Paul Birch and Bob McDermott. » » ” ” »

IGH school coaches and other close followers of state tournament play will assemble at Southport tonight to watch one of the 1938 favorites in action. . . .

Jeff rooters will come by motor and interurban and Southport will have the glad hand out for the visitors from down state. . . . Southport players are keyed for the big match and hope to offer smashing resistance on the hardwood. . Southport seconds and Tech seconds will play a prelim at 7 o'clock.

UBUQUE UNIVERSITY players, who were emulating the House of David five by letting their whiskers grow, finally won a game the other night and mowed their beards. . . . They had foresworn the razor in an effort to break the jinx. . . . The losing streak lasted nine games. New York University was riding along with a rating as the best team in New York when lightning struck and the Violets fell before both Richmond University and North Carolina.

has been weakened by the loss of Larry Holmes, now Butler track coach and former star hurdler, Winston Griffin, Harlan Tyner, Theodore Pruyn, Waldo Stout, Charles Brown and La Vaughn Smith. Under Holmes’ guidance the Butler thinly-clads have been drilling for the last month against a strong freshman squad composed of 20 members. Capt. Bill Olsen, a senior from Indianapolis, and Andrew Boa, senior from Vicksburg, Miss., will be relied upon to garner the majority of this year's points. Olsen is a crack quartermiler and dashman, while Boa will assume roles in three events, low and high hurdles, pole vault, and dashes. Charles Marshall, a promising sophomore from Montezuma, Ind. will be entered in the hurdles and high jump. As a prep star, Marshall cleared the cross bar at 6 feet I'1 inch. Another quarter-mile entry is Rolla Burghard, local product. Milton Weiner, Perth Amboy, N. J. ani George Richardson of Indianapolis will run in the half-mile.

‘Manchester Also Stays in| Running by 41-39 Victory Over St. Joseph's.

By United Press Franklin, Manchester and Indiana Central came racing down the hardwood trail last night to edge closer to Valparaiso, leader of the state college cage conference.

Franklin stayed in second place by defeating Butler, 39 to 26; Manchester kept its third position with a 41-39 triumph over St. Joseph's, and Indiana Central walloped Indiana State, 60 to 25. In other games, Ball State went past DePauw, 34 to 25, and Southern Illinois Normal defeated Oakland City, 37 to 20. Overcoming a Butler lead late in the first half, the Pranklin Grizzlies pushed their total to 23 to 13 in the second period before coasting in. Duke Ferrell tossed through eight field goals and a free throw to lead the winners to their eighth conference victory. Big Bill Merrill batted in four, and made three charity tosses for Butler. Manchester gained revenge for an early season loss to St. Joseph's by getting a field goal in the last minute, after rallying to tie the score, 39-all. DuBois, Manchester center, had 11 points, Badke, St. Joe pivot man, had 12. The losers were ahead, 27 to 24, at the half. Tony Sharpe’s nine field goals and three free throws put the spark in the Greyhounds of Indiana Central. It was their 12th league victory and kept them in fourth place. They had a 29-16 advantage at the half and never were threatened. Watson, state guard, made six points.

Ball State, following Indiana Central in the conference standings with six victories and two defeats, stayed well up in the race by rallying to get the margin over DePauw, Kixmiller’s basket with the score 23-all gave the Tigers a momentary edge but Rudicel and Stout hit long attempts again to give the Teachers control.
