He’s a dangerous rival to Wisconsin’s current scoring leader, Gene Englund, now trailing by only two points with one more game remaining than Englund. Except for Stampf’s bid for the individual lead, tonight's schedule is almost routine although all 10 ‘ teams are playing. Both the leaders—Wisconsin and Indianna—have breathers. Stampf can score almost at will and Wisconsin still can defeat last place . Chicago. Indiana, in second place travels to Iowa, which has lost Your in a row. Also scheduled tonight are Purile (4-4) at Minnesota (5-3), Ohio State (5-4) at’ Northwestern (2-6), and . Illinois (5-4) at Michigan (3-6). Wisconsin (8-1) and Indiana (7-1) *.are Tar ahead of the field and expect to settle the championship at Indiana Monday night. Although that game will go a long way toward deciding Purdue’s successor, Minnesota, still has an outside chance for a share of the title if the leaders falter. Tonight's favorites are Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio State and Illinois. Minnesota and Purdue rate about even, although the Boilermakers rate an edge if Don Blanken and ' Capt.

Shortridge Bows

Shortridge’s Blue Devils closed their season record with a question mark last night when the Anderson Indians, North Central Conference thampions, methodically defeated them 35 to 30. Minus the services of Bryan West, censored scoring ace, Shortridge managed to stay ia the running all the way. Dave Strack, Blue Devil forward, repeatedly staged scoring rallies to keep Shortridge in the show. He entered seven field goals in the baskef column. Warren Central topped Broad Ripple, 44 to 38, and Howe defeated Manual, 28 to 25. Washington again made a gallant effort for that second victory but fell before Franklin, 32 to 30. Crispus Attucks downed Flat Rock, 44 to 38 at Shelbyville.

.Limbach Swamps Ripple

Limbach, giant Warren center, perscnally took scoring matters in hand last night against Broad Ripple with nine field goals and one foul! to total 19 points. Warren led, 12 to 9, at the first quarter and maintained a similar margin in the 21-10-18 half-time count. A goal by [Steck as the third quarter closed gave Broad Ripple a 29-10-27 lead. Limbach came back with three baskets to insure a Warren victory. Although the West Siders outscored Franklin, 15 to 4, in the final quarter, Washington fell one goal short of their second win. Bob Miller tossed in three longs near the close of the first half to lead 16 to 12. Johnny Campbell spearheaded "a li-consecutive-point Franklin drive in the third period but King of the West Siders tied the count. Colman and Jones then counted to cliach the Franklin victory.

Hornets Take Overtime

It took an overtime for the Hornets to top the Redskins. Tied, 5 fo 5, at the first period Manual managed to hold a one-point 13 to 12 lead at the half-time. The regular playing session ended 25-all. Wade broke the overtime tie for Howe with a free toss and William followed with the game-winning field goal. Crispus Attucks led all the way in’ a rough encounter with Flat Rock. Randell and Armour with 14 and 11 points respectively led the iccals. Grecian of Flat Rock was top point getter with six buckets and six fouls.

Wayne North and Muncie Burris were among the powerhouses to suffer 1lth-hour setbacks. Greencastle, still pepped up from last week's victory over Washington, turned on the heat at Columbus and tamed the Bulldogs, 40-34. Ft. Wayne North and Huntington locked .in a terrific battle on the latter's court, with Huntington taking the decision, 29-25, after holding the Redskins to but one field goal in the final frame.

- Sarge Mamakos i

CHICAGO, Feb. 22 (U. P.)— with a knockout over Soldier Steve Mamakos in his first title defense, was ready io sign today for another match with the man he beat for the crown—Al Hostak of Seattle. Hostak came back into the picture last night with an impressive one round knockout of Georgie Burnette, Detroit's Negro middleweight champion. Showing no evidence of being gun-shy after his terrific beating by Zale last July, Hostak put Burnette on the floor] three times, the last one for keeps after one minute, 50 seconds. Zale had all the fight he could handle from the tough National Guard sergeant. Mamakos was ahead on points when Zale first dropped him in the 13th round. In the 14th however, he was helpless. Zale drove him about the ring and finally nailed him with a right to the head. Mamakos sagged in his own corner, rolled over on his back and .did not stir as Referee Tommy Gilmore counted over him. A slow starter, Mamakos trailed until the fifth round when he clipped the champion with a left hook and drove him to the floor with two rights to the head. Zaie bounced up without a count, but he was groggy and Mamakos pumped both hands without a. return blow for the remaining 20 seconds of the round. Zale came back slowly from that ‘assault and wasn’t the same until the 11th, when his constant jabbing

Hornets Here Tomorrow

The Indianapolis Capitals are back at the Coliseum tomorrow night from the eastern ring wars for a “remember-that-last-game” tilt with the Pittsburgh Hornets and the heat is really on,

An executive ruling coupled with a shutout from the Hershey B’ars and a game tonight with the Philadelphia Ramblers is threatening that third-place playoff. : In the last Capital-Hornet get-to-gether the local skaters brought Alex Motter and Eddie Wares down from the Father Red Wings for the evening. But they didh’t stay the two weeks that a league ruling specifies and Maurice Podoloff, American Hockey League Presider, said “You can’t do that.” The Capitals couldn’ t, must be replayed. Pittsburgh with its hand now near the playoff dough and its eye on third place will really be out for the Caps. Also there are a few personal matters to settle. A victory for the Capitals tomorrow would brighten that dream of the Calder Cup and place Pittsburgh a more respectable distance arrear. Should the Hornets win, then that playoff game looms too important for local comfort.
