~ They'll Meet Wabash And DePauw Fives
By UNITED PRESS EAT Butler's hardwood team, hoping to gain the State College Conference
basketbhll crown for the second consecutive year, gets its final tests this week from DePauw and Wabash, and Indiana Central and St. Josep’ are right on the Bulldog’
One slip on the port of the Butler five and a loss to either DePauw or Wabash would throw the race into a bedlam. Butler has won five and lost none in the conference; Indiana Central has won I4 gnd lost two and St. Joseph’s has won six and lost one. If the Bulldegs lose once and Indiana Central| downs Manchester this week, the Greyhounds take over the title. If both Butler and Indiana Central fall, St. Joseph's can capture the thtone by downing Oakland City, }Indiana State and Valparaiso. ; It appeared unlikely today, however, that Butler would be defeated by either of its two final opponents. The Bulldogs defeated Wabash, 47 to 26, and DePauw, 47 to 21, earlier in the season. Thirteen games this week affect standings of the Stat College Conference, but only those involying St. Joseph's, Butler and Indiana Central can determine wholl win the title for the rest of the 22-club league, even if Butler did lose .one, couldn't equal the Bulldeg's percentage. All teams, with the exception of Butler and St. Joseph’s have lost at least two games. . This week’s complete schedule for Hoosier college fives:

RUT TRRR TR IIR RWS : ’ —
“Northwestern’s Wildcats, surprise victors over Indiana Saturday night, count themselves back in the race and will go after their fifth Big Ten victory against Ohio State. Wisconsin plays at Illinois, and Chicago, battered seven times in seven games, tries for that elusive number one triumph at Minnesota.
Still a Chance.
Although Purdue and Indiana still reign as the one-two favorites,
and Michigan all see a slim chance of cutting in for a share of the championship. Each has three defeats. Few Big Ten titles have been won the hard way-—nine victories and three defeats—but it's been done. A first half assault carried Purdue to victory over the Illini Saturday night. Leading 19 to 9 at the half, the Boilermakers faltered, slightly under a barrage of field | goals but pulled out 33 to 27 for their sixth victory in seven games. Captain Fred Beretta, Purdue’s allConference guard, kept Bill Hapac of Illinois well in hand until the second half and by the time Hapac had shaken loose with 10 points it was too late. Northwestern matched Indiana’s overwhelming speed with an aggressive defense which split the Hoosiers wide open during the first half. The Wildcats piled up a half-time lead of 25 to 12 and when Indiana turned on some roughhouse of its own, it proved fatal. Northwestern was outscored from the field, 13 to 12, but sank 16 of 26 free throw attempts to nine of 23 for the Hoosiers and wound up with a 40 ta 36 victory. . Indiana Skids
The defeat knocked Indiana out of a first place: tie with :Purdue. Ohio State’s defending champions throttled Wisconsin's Gene Englund
