surprise package of the Conference. Pre-Conference records mean lit~
tle or nothing when the boys start shooting for keeps, but the fact remains that the Hoosiers have shown the best scoring punch of any of 'em—and they still psy off on the team that makes the most points. Indiana, in rolling up seven straight victories in “warm-up” games, has totaled 349 points—better than a point a minute. Speed and balance are the chief assets of the Hoosiers, operating under a new coach.

Illinois Lacks Heserves
While Minnesota and Indiana loom as the cofavorites, at least four other teams have what it takes to make the raze a dog fight down to the finish. To begin with, there is defending champion Purdue. The Boilermakers, beaten once in pre-Cenference competition, have speed, but they haven't got the two men who spearheaded the Purdue drive to the title last season--Jewell Young and. Johnny Sines. Replacements will tell the story there.
Then there is Illinois, which goes into the Big Ten campaign with six straight victories. The Illini have two of the best shots in the circuit in Pock Dehner and Bill Hapac, but sadly lack reserve strength. Once-beaten Michigan and Ohio State are the other ‘dark horses.” Michigan, like Indiana, has a new coach — Benny Oosterbaan. The Wolverines could go a long way if they still had the likes of Jake Townsend, all-Conference center for three years. Ohio ftate has been beaten four times in seven starts. All its defeats were at the hands of Pacific Coast teams, than whom there are few better. This experience, however, may stand the Buckeyes in good -'ead. Wisconsin doesn’t figure to do much better than last season when it finished sixth. Northwestern, which tied Ohio State for third last season, will spring a real upset if it finishes that high this season. Chicago is improved, buf does not figure to be a real tnreat. Neither does Iowa. >
Warren Central Is Tourney Host
Preparations are being made to provide seats for approximately 2100. fans at the Marion County high school basketball toiirney to be held at Warren Central High School Jan. 20-21. Drawings for the game schedule will be made Jan. 14.
Decatur Central, the present champion, is rated favorite to repeat on the basis of its pretourney record of one defeat. Southport and Lawrence are picked to. be the strongest contenders.

Miller, Reds Buy Erie Club
Provides Outlet for Indian Rookie Players.
In conjunction with the Cincinnati Reds, Leo T. Miller, president of the Indianapolis baseball club, today became part owner of the Erie, Pa., club of the Mid - Atlaniic League. The Indians, as a club, did not share in the purchase of the Class C franchise, Miller said, the transaction being his own business venture in partnership with the National League team. However, the Erie club will serve as an outlet for Indianapolis rookie players as well as for some youngsters from the Reds. Norman A. Perry Jr. will be sent from Indianapolis to serve as secretary of the Pennsylvania team and act as Mr. Miller's personal representative. A new ball park will be completed there in time to house the team for the 1939 season. It’s a league of eight clubs which are Dayton, Springfield, Portsmouth, Canton and Akron, all in Ohio; Charleston, W. Va., Johnstown, Pa., and Erie. : Erie is Mr. Miller's home town and he made his start in baseball there in the old Central League. Other officers of the new club will be named at the annual Mid-
| Atlantic League meeting in Charles-
ton ‘Sunday. Fifteen players are on the Erie reserve list.
