BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 5.—While Indiana’s bas-| ketball team poured points through the drapes of wrath, the

spirits of 5000 Hoosier fans rose and fell last night in direct proportion to the fortunes of Illinois. 2 The setting in the Fieldhouse here was something like

that of a party headquarters on election night when a weary | :

candidate’s welfare must run second to reports from the su-

burban precincts.

* Naturally, Indiana’s 52-31 ‘defeat of Ohio State was satisfying, but it was glad tidings from across the border that everyone awaited—word that Purdue had lost and must share its Big Ten -title. - Unfortunately for the two bleacherfuls here, the good news never came.

Come on, Illini!

But Illinois can never say the Bloomington boys and girls didn's try. The half-section of the Marching Hundred played the Illinois loyalty song. Cheer leaders offered vocal tribute to Illinois. Fans, reversing the. usual procedure, had toasts for ‘Champaign, and most of them were willing to transfer for a time their allegiance, if not their credits, to the Orange and Blue. The game here was still in infancy when the first report from the Illinois-Purdue encounter verifled an early Boilermaker lead. The crowd moaned, in spite of the fact that Bill Menke’s pivot shot had just given the Hoosiers a 16-9 edge. . ‘The Hoosiers | continued to split the nets, and when the second re-

.port had it that Purdue and Illi-

nois were. tied up, the crowd emitted a whoop that probably shook the Suay .tables in the Kappa. Sig

. hou

About this time. somebody learned the messages were being received by telegraph and relayed to the man at the mike by runner. Previously they figured it was the work of carrier pigeons or smoke signals and let it go at that. “Illinois, 26: Purdue, 19” was the text of the next communique, which really brought down the house. Bob Dro’s one-hander’ from the circle that boosted the Hoosiers’ lead to 24 points probably accounted for | me off-beat: Yells.

> Speed, More" Speed

The runner carrying this message, | sete

it was reported, broke the field-

house 220-yard record in sprinting

from the press box to the officials’ table, but the new mark couldn't be confirmed immediately. It was understood, however, that Western Union would submit the time to the proper A. A. U, committee. As the game ended here, the con-

‘test at Champaign was three min- . utes from a finish, and Illinois held|A

a slim 30-29 | lead. Fans were

promised further results if they re- Bo

mained in their seats. That was

* agreeable to everyone, including the

more enterprising vendors who saw a chance to dispose. of several more 5: bags of .peanuts.or two or three fast-melfing.ice cream bars. ° Freed ‘of the duties of handling his basketball boys, Coach Branch McCracken made a fast break for the press box and telegraph instru-|¢ ment. He wanted his information first hand and his only regret was that he couldn’t read Morse, But the news as it finally came could have been appreciated only in West Lafayette. = The fans here were as glum-faced as the Buckeye players they met eating oranges

spectator remarked: “All this was

things worse. Five minutes of the first half were gone before John Schick tipped in the first Ohio State basket. Even after that the collegians from Columbus never, got out of second gear. - Indiana split its offensive into three pushes. Bob Dro led the first, while Bill Menke and Curly Armstrong led the second. Schaefer was the top man in the third. Altogether this quartet accounted for 16 of Indiana’s 19 baskets. - Goss scored four field goals and a free throw for the. Buckeyes. The Hoosiers connected on .19 field goals in 76 attempts and converted 13 of 22 gift toss attempts while - Ohio} State made 10 fielders in 78 shots and 11 of 17 free throws.

Park’s Big Team Will Defend Midwest (Cage Title

Big boys who favor big scores will do Park Schools title-defending this week-end in the Midwest Preparatory School. tournament at F | Onarga, Ill. One of the tallest squads in the school’s history, Coach Lou Reichel’s] current team averages more. than six feet. Out on Cold Springs Road, they're mighty proud, too, of the record these long lads have hung up

this season. In 14 games, the Red and Black cagers have fallen just shy of 600 points, an average of

‘143 per game,

Only once did they fail to get more than 30 points. Thgt was against Batesville (still in the I. H. S. A. A. running, by the way), when the Reichelmen won, 24-22,

Lenient With Foes

Coach Reichel usually turns out crack defensive teams, but this year's combination shows up with a somewhat spotty defensive record. Although no team has scored more than 40 points against Park, four of its opponents have gone over 30. Three of these—Williamsport, Culver and Male of Louisville—also turned in victories. As far as defense goes, the high- | light of the prepsters’ season was! their performance against Castleton. That night they held the Comets to two field goals, and Park will have you know that Castleton bagged six from Shortridge in the sectional last Friday. Individual offensive .records of the Park players show that Harold Miller, veteran forward, is pacing the pack with 157 points, while Jim Chapman is second. with 107. Mike Keene has 78 and Capt. Alder Hreiner T7. However, Breiner has seen action in only seven games. Breiner had a big hand in Park’s four tournament victories last year and will be one of the marked men in this year’s competition. In the locals’ first game of the 1939. tournament. against Elgin Academy, Breiner tossed in a blind shot over his head, and Elgin never ticked again.’ Here Are the Guards

Park's guards, Arnold Sanders and Norman Williams, are not so

earn their keep at snagging rebounds and playing a commendable floor game. Williams also is a backfield man in football and shares his time between the pitchei’s box and left field ‘with the baseball team. - Others likely to see tournament action are Don (Shorty) Davidson, a forward, and Bill Elder, senior guard who has been sidelined most of the season because of illness. If Park does take another championship this time, an 11-year-old tradition of the tourney will be gone. No champion has ever won the title the next time out since the tournament began in 1930, Tourney headquarters today ‘informed Park it would meet Todd School of Woodstock, I11., in its firstround game at 7:30 Pp. m, Thursday. And in that game the Parkmen will meet an old friend—Jim Cunningham, eX Shortringe player who was ark for the first week af Christmas holidays, Siler the

For .a team without a system, that’s not bad. Coach Ward (Piggy) Lambert’s basketball philosophy is this: Condition ‘em, teach them how to hit the basket, rehearse fundamentals, so often it becomes habit and you won't need a system of floor play. It works every other vear at least. With one exception in 1924, Purdue

{has won or shared the champion-

ship on every “even” year since Lambert became coach in 1917. Purdue’s last minute victory over the Illini.stalled a dramatic finish by Indiana’s pre-season favorites, Indiana, possessor of two victories over the champions, crushed Ohio State, 52 to 31, and still held out a faint hope of tying for the title. Then came word that: Purdue had done it again.
