GIVE that University of Chicago basketball quintet credit, please. . . . And Coach Nels Norgren deserves a pat on the back for “taking it” year after year. . . .

Since 12335 the Maroons have tasted victory but eight times in 981 starts and in four of eight seasons, including the current, the boys from the Chicago Midway have failed to net a single triumph.

Michigan tried to make a ball game of it for the first half and sticceeded to the extent of holding the Hoosiers to a 23 to 15 advantage Hamilton started the second half by pouring in three straight buckets, just as if he wanted to wih inh a hurry—and alone. Indiana went at full speed during the second half. Swanson kept popping them in from way out and when the Michigan boys would start guarding too close, it was “around the horn and into the under-the-basket land.” Even though there wasn't a moment of the game that Indiana wasn't on top going away, Coach Branch McCracken kept shifting his
and McCracken mixed ‘em up seven different ways. The 500 average puts Indiana into fifth, from seventh place in the Big Ten. They trail Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue and Wisconsin. The Hoosiers have nine games left to play in the conference. One of them it with tough Minnesota. but two of them are with the easy Chicagoe and five of them, the hard ones, are at home. The summary:

Boilermakers Can’t Hit, and Minnesotas Do
Lambert's Boys Drop to Third
By HARRY MORRISON Times Staff Writer
LAFAYETTE, Jan. 27. Frosty Sprowl evidently got up a half second off schedule yesterday morning. He stayed that way all day. The Purdues lost the Minnesota game last night, 46 to 39. Time after time he shot and when the whistle had blown he'd aimed 27 times at the basket and had hit only four vimes. His teame mates were the same way,
A split-second off in their timing—-call it a bad night—and six of the nine Boilermakers who saw action took 76 shots and missed 60 of them. A more astute observer say that the Minnesotas wera guarding like no one has ever guarded a Purdue team before. Pure due rarely got a chance at a set-up. When they did, they missed.
Gophers Make 'Em
On the other hand, Minnesota was making almost every shot count. They only made 3 baskets from beyond the free throw line. They aimed 46 times and hit 19 of them. Ten of them were from under the basket. Sprowl missed four shots as the game started. Ward Ajax scored from the middle distance and then Don Smith made two free throws before Sprowl finally connected, But, enter one Tony Jaros, another skinny Minnesota boy. His number was 24 and it was magic, He shot five times in the next eight minutes and scored on four of his shots. Meanwhile, Purdue was trying to break through a concrete defense that made it look like they also played high school basketball in Minnesota. The score at the half was Minnesota 22, Purdue 13.
Crowd Pleading
The huge crowd at Field House was waiting for the Boilermakers to get started, fairly pleading ‘With Sprowl, Menke, Mickey Tierney, Don Blanken and Riley to “get 'em.” It looked, as the second half opened, as if the lid was going to blow. Blanken, wha had been the only consistent scorer for Purdue in the first half, made one from the middle of the floor to start things. A moment later he made a one= hander from the side, but Don Mattson put the Gophers way hack on top with two shots on his own hook. With the score 26 to 19, Minnesota made Purdue look their worst, by putting on a stall that didn't look like a stall. There wouldn't seem purpose to it, just back-and-forth, back-and-forth, then, suddenly, zip -a sharp pass and skinny Ajax would have it under the basket and behind his guard.
