Boilermakers, 35-30, ‘Before 6000.

By LEO DAUGHERTY ; Times Siaff Writer WEST LAFAYETTE, Dec. 23—

Monday night they mee Temple University’s Bastern - collegiate champions. In the first place, the Trojans last night took the fire out of the Purdue firewagon. 35 to 30, while a crowd of 6000 watched. And the assembly which saw the Boilermakers’ path blocked included a flock of coaches and others who might be classed as Hoosier basketball experts. In the second place those Californians, with the exception of:two imports from Hoosierdom, were glad

The ermine blankets just Before the game scared the sunshine out of the invaders. Whether Purdue’s record would still be clean today and the Trojans’ blemished if Gene Anderson, the Boilermaker” center, had been able to play, is something no one can answer.’ Coach Piggy Lambert of the Boilermakers bemoaned the fact both. before the game and afterward in the dressing room that a leg injury made a spectator of his captain and center. At any rate, the Californians held the upper hand, Purdue in the first half used an offense with three in and two out. That didn’t work. The Boilermakers, while they had an edge in possessing the ball, were able to work it under the basket. for. only eight shots from close-in territory during the first frame. The Trojans guarded closely. California, on the «other hand, maneuvered so effectively that they obtained 21 shots under the basket during the same time.

Visitors Play Conservative Game

California, was" far superior on handling rebounts. While they were in a position to use the fast break time and time again they did not elect to. Sam Barry's rangy Cagers

thought it better to employ a more conservative game in which they

| stressed ball hdndling and

passing. Between halves: Sant Barry didn’t have much to say to his travelers. They were in front, 22 to 13, so he just cautioned them a bit on their ball handling and instructed them to keep up their fast, work on the rebounds. What Piggy Tambert said. to the trailing Purdues . probably was & shame. In the second frame Purdue altered its offense. Three stayed out and two went in. But three out and two in didn’t work either. The Trojans speeded up if they did anything and gave a fine exhibition of passing and kept up a batting average that wasi’'t to be sneezed af. The best Purdue could do on ‘the firing line was 11 fielders in 59 attempts for the rather lowly ‘average of 18.8 per cent. The Barry boys, on the other hand, rang the bell 14 times in 60 attempts for an average of 23.7 per cent.

.|Hoosiers Star For Winners

‘There was some measture of satisfaction in California’s victory for Indiana. Its two aces were boys who learned their pegging on Hoosier floors, Ralph. Vaughn, of Frankfort who made four field goals, and Clem Ruh, his running mate who hails from Anderson, Lambert didn't have any alibis. “Surely, we missed Anderson,” he said. “But theyre a ‘good ball club, however, maybe not the toughest we've got to meet. ' What'll we do with Indians? They're good, but well play them. Sure I'm going down to Indianapolis to watch them play Butler.” es Sam Barry was packing
