FOR THREE YEARS IN BIG TEN

ON WAY TO RECORD

JEWELL YOUNG of Purdue has three more games in which to set a new three-year scoring record for the

Big Ten. . . . His total is 406,

which is even with Stretch

Murphy’s mark, the Purdue record. . . . The Conference record is 416; set by Bill Haarlow of Chicago. A victory for Purdue over Indiana at Bloomington tomorrow will give the Boilermakers undisputed possession of first place in the Big Ten. . . . Northwestern, coleader, is idle until Monday when it plays Ohio State at Columbus. . . . In earlier games Purdue edged Indiana,

list Reitz Memorial of Evansville as a possible

“third party” in the

State Catholic Tournament opening here today. Memorial’s Tigers lost three regulars from their team which the

last two years has been runnerup

to St. Mary's of Anderson for the

Indiana title. At the national meet ©

last season, Fenwick High of Chicago eliminated the Evansville quintet, 44 to 36. Jim Hinkle, forward, and Bob will and Bob Hargrave, guards, form the spearhead cf this year’s team. Bill Hillenbrand, center, and Leéo Scheu, forward, complete the starting lineup. The Tigers appear below tournament average in height and experience. Hinkle, Will and Hargrave are the only two-year men on the . first-string outfit. Other team members received their first taste of interscholastic competition this "season. Hillenbrand measures 8 feet; Hinkle, 5 fdet 8 inches; Scheu, 5 . feet 9 inches; Will, 5 feet 10 inches, and Hargrave, 5 feet 9. Best reserves include Leo Gilles, 6-foot-2-inch center; Pete Klass, Joe Grassman and Paul Splitorff, forwards, and Joe Hillenbrand, center. | Coach Don Ping, serving his leighth year as Tiger mentor, last

and continuing through April 18. It is with the gigantic production in view that old and young stars are now drilling the strike gaps on alleys from Herkimer N. Y, to Honolulu. Mortimer Lindsey is a striking example. For 34 years, this stanch booster of tenpins has fired at the stubborn wooden bottles in national meets. The long search for recognition and gold in this robust competition has yielded Lindsey considerable cash, but only once did he take home a title. The noble resident of Stamford, Conn., won the all-events in 1919 with 1933. Through the long stretch of years, he has belted the pins for an average of a bit more than 200, which is the greatest sustained scoring on record. : There are four crowns at stake— team, doubles, singles, and allevents. Carl Mensenberg hasn’t captured a championship thus far, but only three others have equaled the achievement of the Scranton pin knight who crashed 12 ‘strikes for a perfect 300 mark in the 1935 gettogether in Syracuse. Murphy’s Feat Recalled Young Johnny Murphy sampled the friuts of victory when they were sweetest. Before a home crowd of Indianapolis folk, he thumped the sticks for 2006 pins to take the allevents in 1936. =

game. Until Gene Gagliardi, a Mount Vernon, N. Y., barber, came booming through with a 749 singles mark to snatch the title in New York last year, Ernie Soest of Santa Monica, Cal, had the crown in his eager clutch with a 729 series. A corking strike spiller is Wallie Reppenhagen, who rolls with the Stroh Bohemian team of Detroit. He was with this club when it battered

1934. His contribution was 634. He followed with 702 in doubles and 636 in singles, and snagged the allevents wth a grand count of 1972. Two seasons back the name of a San Franciscan flashed across the bowling firmament. Ora Mayer, who hi o part of a national reputation,{ but who was a crack shot in his ip part of the country, pasted the pins for a 2022 winning count in the all-events of the 1935 tournament in Syracuse.
