M’CARTHY SIZES UP LOU GEHRIG
THAT OLD SNAP IS IMPORTANT
OE M’CARTHY, manager of the Yankee Bronx Bombers, ~ is not so sure that Iron Horse Lou Gehrig will carry on this year in the perpetual motion league. . . . He was
asked at a baseball dinner in Pittsburgh recently if he
thought Columbia Lou’s consecutive game record would come to an end during the 1939 American League campaign. : “I'll be able to make a better guess at that a month from now,” the pilot of the champions answered. “After a couple of weeks of spring training we'll probably know whether Gehrig has the old snap.
“That’s what he didn't have most of last year. It’s
hard to define, but it’s the thing that an athlete Io wien 77

ND the funny part of it is that in the case of a ball player he seldom knows, or seldom will admit, that the snap is gone. Gehrig seemed to have lost it early last season, but it came back to him in some degree : In 2 uly when we Jaunched the fight to catch the Cleveland clu
“Then, after we had taken a good lead, he lost it again. Anybody’s guess is as good as Ting as to low Lou will go this year. He'll be 36 in June.”

By LEO DAUGHERTY It was back during the football season when Mal Elward, the Purdue gridiron coach, remarked that he couldn't understand what he termed “the strange philosophy of Bloomington.” He charged the Hoosiers | with being content over their football season if they just could beat Purdue, regardless of -their -fate otherwise. The remark bounces right back in Mal’s direction now, for the other Purdue athletic bosses confess that a basketball victory over Indiana at West Lafayette tonight would ‘bring glory to their hardwood season that has been anything but glorious. Mr. Dutch Fehring was elected to do the talking for Purdue. Dutch had sat there at Bloomington Satnight as the high-flying Hoosiers took the mighty Gophers of Minnesota for a beautiful ride,

Dutch’s philosophy seemed to us as strange as Mr. Elward had said was Indiana’s regarding football. “A victory for Indiana and a defeat for Purdue,” he said, “would mean our chances would. be supreme. Indiana has been going too strong. Another win and theyll have their noses up too high. If they win (of course, they did) and if we lose, then Purdue will be up and Indiana will be down.” Dutch today still clung to the belief that Purdue’s scant margin

over the Wolverines and the Crimson’s convincing victory put Purclue on top as they go to bat tonight.
Piggy in the Pink
Piggy Lambert is back in the pink and Mr. Branch McCracken, who has plotted the strategy for one of Indiana’s most glamorous seasons, rapidly is becoming an expert at the squawk from the bench. Therefore, the fan eyeing tonight’s combat should keep one orbit aimed in the direction of the respective benches. Purdue-Indiana games in any branch of sport are unpredictable, but the boys who have: had their lamps on Indiana and Purdue and all the Big Ten basketballers see in the crystal ball a romp for the Bloomington boys this evening. Purdue, on-the basis of its record of five victories against four cdefeats, is just a member of the Conference mob. On the other hand, Indiana, in 10 times to the front, has dropped only one—that to Ohio State—then evened that score, and the team sticks out like a good deed in a naughty world.
Tie for Lead Possible
Tonight's battle is important for Indiana—forgetting the rivalry angle—because a victory. is necessary
|to tighten its clamp on the Confer-
ence leadership and the eventual championship. Ohio State, hot on the Hoosiers’ heels with eight against two, are at Ann Arbor tonight with the pregame nod to wallop Michigan. If the Buckeyes do as forecast and Purdue does upset the Crimson, the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers will be tied for the marshal’s post. It’s quite a queer trend in the schedule for Indiana, old Purdue and the championship chasing Buckeyes. as they round the turn for the drive stretch. t Next Saturday night, Indiana goes into the camp of the well-thumped Michigans, while the Boilermakers wind it all up at Columbus against the Ohio States.
Menke Is Red Hot
Indiana presented its all:star cast at Bloomington Saturday night when it pummelled the Gophers. Ernie Andres and Bob Dro were
back in the near pink and, what with that stellar pair going good
finest performances of the season anywhere, Minnesofa was left as cold as the country it came from. Menke, before they chased him on personals, neared the Conference scoring record set by his husky pal, Andres. Bill tallied 28 points against Ernie’s league record of 30. Bill was not only the hero in the score book, but on the floor. The Gophers, despite what the goal sheet might show, gave Indiana one of its hardest and one of prettiest battles. Their deliberate passing was something to peek at and going down the floor it was something "like Lash against Deckard. The rest of the sked for Indiana colleges this week isn’t bad. I's topped by Notre Dame’s appearance at the Fieldhouse Wednesday night for Butler's season farewell. The rest of the week’s card for the dying season: Wednesday

Two Outstanding Pro Fives Clash at Fieldhouse.
The New York Renaissance and New York Celtic professional basketball teams will make their second appearance of the season here tonight. When the two start play at. the Butler Fieldhouse at 8:45 o'clock it will be the first time they have played each other in Indianapolis this season. Both played the Kautskys this saeson,
Based strictly on local appearances of the two the Rens should be heavily favored to take the Celtics, for the former was far more mpressive in its game here than was the Celtic quintet. However, the Celtics have added Herbert Bonn, former all-America at Duquesne, since that time, and almost immediately started a winning streak that extends over a month, The Rens, since leaving New York last October, have played 90 games, won 82 and lost eight. One of the defeats suffered by the Rens was at the hands of the Philadelphia Hebrews, a team that appeared here against the Kautskys. The Celtics beat this same five by 10 points. Intercollegiate rules will be used with the exception of the allowing of five personal fouls. Two preliminary games will be played. Long’s Market five will open the program at 7:30 against the Jamestown, Ind., Independents. When this game reaches the halfway mark the Real Silk Girls, one of the best feminine teams in this part of the country, will take the floor against the Linton Girls. After the preliminary game is finished the girls will play the last half of their game. PROBABLE STARTING LINEUPS
