Their 2 With

Title Issue

Both Leaders Idle This Week-End

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

: | Ohio State’s “team from no“where” led the Big Ten bas“kethball standings today with three straight victories and ‘ranked with Indiana as the ronly other team undefeated

rin conference competition.

Every race‘has its darkhorse and “Ohio State looks like it this winter, although its tough cames are still to come. If tiie Bucks continue their startling improvement of the last two weeks, their two games with Indiana ay help decide the issue of Purdue's successor. Against Chicago last night, Ohio State poured -it on plenty, 67 to 38. As a basketball power, Chicago isn’t much but there have been worse teams bouncing around the Big Ten the last few seasons and the only higher winring total on record is 89 points rolled up by Purdue in 10317. This Buckeyes team brought its challenge out of nowhere. After a pre-conference series that indicated they would be lucky to escape the second -division, the Bucks licked Michigan, Northwestern and Chicago. An offense paced by Dick Fisher, Jack McClain and sophomore Roger Jorgenson w# the answer.

Both Ohio State and Indiana drop out of Big Ten play this week-end, although the Bucks will be plenty busy with Duquesne. Conference games Saturday bring together Minnesota (1-1) at Chicago (0-1), Illinois (2-1) at Northwestern (0-2), and Wisconsin (2-1) at Michigan (0-3). While Ohio State was drubbing the hapless Maroons, Iowa plunged Minnesota from the undefeated class, 41 to 34. Wisconsin virtually eliminated Purdue’s defending champions from further title consideration with an overtime victory, 48 to 42. Indiana continued its superspeed drive by defeating Northwestern, 52 to 32, and Illinois administered the third defeat in a row to Michigan, 47 to 41.

A Rally at the Wire

Behind most of the way, Iowa vutfought Minnesota in the closing stages and three field goals by big Milt Kuhl, Iowa center, clinched it in the last three minutes. There was planty of scoring in the five-minute overtime at Madison. Purdue and Wisconsin were tied at 38 as regular playing time ran out. The Badgers scored five field goals, two by Ted Strain, while Purdue, facing its second defeat, counted only two. Illinois kept little Mike Sofiak well in hand until midway through the second half. Sofiak cut loose with seven points in a hurry, giving Michigan its pest rally of the night, but the Illini had too much of a lead to worry.

Obviously ‘a college baskeballer dces something besides play baskstball, so a Times photographer set out to see just what. His subject was 22-year-old Bob Dietz, a local boy who captains the Butler five and who is majoririg in physical education with an eye to getting a coaching job cn. his graduation in the spring.

I. Several minutes of each day is spent in the spray of a Fieldhouse shower. Warm water is a good antidote for hardwood wezariness.

4. Dietz currently carries a scratch under his right eye, his only injury of the 1940-41 season. Here Trainer Jim Morris swabs it. You can see Capt. Bob at his favorite occupation next Saturday evening at the Fieldhouse when Butler meets DePauw in the "Tony Hinkle Night"! game.

Indiana's Fireball Five Has a Good Memory, Not to Mention a Good Eye for the Basket

By J. E. O'BRIEN Times Staff Writer

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Jan. 14. —Indiana’s basketball team, like ~ an elephant, never forgets, al-

though it is more adept than the - Jatter at making field goals. Northwestern had the misforturie to be one of the three teams beasing the Hoosiers last year—we s&y misfortune because the unforgetting Hoosiers virtually de-clawed the Wildcats last night in settlement . of that previous debt. : The final reading was Indiana, 82; Northwestern, 32, and the keeper of the scoreboard isn’t sure yet “that the Fireball Five didn’t throw in two or three while he wasn’t watching. Nobody dreamed it would |be such a rout when the clubs were flagged orf the floor for the cusiomary halfway recess. Then the score was tied, 19-19, and the e¢xperts were wondering whether Indiana’s pony backs would be able to crack that hefty Northwestern line in the last 20 minutes. Somehow both teams got the idea at the start that the other ted to play football, and Northestern immediately drove deep inp Hoosier territory in the opening iinute for two first downs before men in zebra shirts reminded

Stewart-Warner, composed of former Indiana college and high school standouts, is probably the Hoosier amateur club best equipped to handle the powerful Phillips five. The Dual Temps last year won the Interstate Basketball Association championship. First organized in 192i, the Phillips team has changed makeup rapidly, players being forced to drop out of competition as their company duties increased. More than 80 per cent of the men who have played on the team are still with the company, however. This year’s team, the fifth coached by Chuck Hyatt—eleventime all-American during his collegiate and A. A. U. career—averages 6 feet 4 and one-half inches in height with two men over 6 feet 8 inches and only one man under 6 feet 2.

Christoforidis Bests Bettina

CLEVELAND, Jan. 14 (U. P.).— Anton Christoforidis, rugged Greek boxer, was recognized as lightheavyweight champion today in states under the jurisdiction of the National Boxing Association but was scheduled for a defense of his newly won crown within 60 days against Gus Lesnevich of New Jersey. Christoforidis put on a closing rush last night to earn a 15-round decision over Melio Bettina, Italian southpaw from Beacon, N. Y., former champion who lost the title to Billy Conn of Pittsburgh. The decision was the unanimous verdict of Judges Jim Parker and Dibby Williams and Referee Joe Sedley. Christoforidis started slowly and had difficulty in solving the Italian's unorthodox fighting stance. The crowd of 8449 which paid $20,462 was
