F the eleven scoring records in the Eastern Intercollegiate League,
several were set in one game, Carnegie Tech's 69-38 victory over West Virginia last March. . , . This was the highest scoring game in the six years the conference has been in existence; the highest total points in a game (107); the most foul goals scored in a game, 20 by the Mountaineers, and saw Melvin Cratsley, of Tech, break all individual scoring records for a game with 12 field goals and 10 fouls for 34 points. : Of all the teams on Temple University’s court schedule this winter only Pitt has an advantage in previous games, having beaten the rls in 12 of 17 games. °

SFFICIAL batting averages of the National League disclose that outfielder Coaker Tripletty whose contract was sold last week by the Cubs to the Columbus Red Birds, made nine hits for the Cubs in 1938 in 36 swings, the nine including two doubles and a triple. | But the N, L. figures do not snow this odd fact about that young man’s record: He made all nine of those hits in 14 swings against Cincinnati pitching in the tnree games between the Reds and Cubs, Which constituted the opening series of the season for those clubs. | After getting off to that great start, Triplett had eight swings against the Cardinals, two against the Phils, five against the Giants . and seven against the Dodgers without making another hit before he was optioned to Minneapolis. | '. 2» 2 8 8 RANKIE FRISCH is dickering with New York radio stations to become an aircaster of big league games in that territory. ...

Co of 8000
Is Anticipated
One of the largest crowds of the season is expected to attend the Butler-Indiana basketball game tomorrow at 8:15 p. m. at the Fieldhouse. As both teams are undefeated Butler athletic officials anticipate an attendance surpassing last year’s 8000. : For his first five Coach Tony Hinkle seems content with the combination which has started all three games this season, This quintet includes Bob Dietz and Jerry Steiner, forwards; George Perry, center; and Charles Richardson and Bill
Geyer, guards. Two junior members of the reserve team showed well in yesterday’s drill and are expected to see
some early varsity action against!
Indiana. They are Bob Connor, captain-elect of next season's football squad, and Paul Herrmann of Brownstown. Coach Branch McCracken has indicated he will start Boh Dro and Paul (Curley) Armstrong at the forward positions, Bill Menke at cen-
‘Iter and Capt. Ernest Andres and
Marvin ‘Huffman at guard. The entire Hoosier squad of 22 players will make the trip, Coach’ McCracken said. The Indiana and Butler reserve teams will play at % p. m. as a curtain-raiser to the var-
" |sity tilt.
Basketball rivalry between the two schools dates back to the season of 1900-1901 when Indiana had its first hardwood team. Although there . was a lapse of -several years, the mnivalry was resumed in 1936 and again in 1937 with Indiana winning both,games.

Still Unbeaten
CHICAGO, Dec. 22 (U. P.).—Minnesota and Illinois—two of the six Big Ten basketball teams which so far are undefeated this season—to-
|day marked up additional victories
against nonconference foes.
Minnesota defeated Nebraska, 65 to 37, last night with a rapid-fire passing attack and a defense that was virtually impregnable. Accurate shooting put the Gophers ahead, 31 to 20, at half time, and aided by the scoring of Johnny Kundla, a forward, they followed
: through in the sscond! period.
Captain. Tommy Nisbet, who gained his eligibility | only a few hours before game time, sparked the Illini to a 49-to-23 victory over Connecticut State. ‘Marquette, the only team to defeat Chicago this season, repeated the performance in a hard-fought 40-t0-32 victory last night.

By United Press Hoosier hysteria — basketball — flared to the breaking point last night at Bloomington as spectators and players traded haymakers in a free-for-all in the ‘closing seconds of the Martinsville game, which the Artesians won, 31 to 26. The fight occurred after a mixup under the Bloomington basket. A sixth Bloomington player entered tha fray, leaving the bench without instructions from the coach, and the spectators immediately joined in. Police escorted the teams to their dressing rooms when things were quieted. An excellent Southern team defeated a good Northern team as the Jeffersonville Red Devils rolled along like the old Ohio to their eighth straight victory, over EIkhart, 30 to 25.
