By UNITED PRESS As Indiana College Conference net teams approach the season’s close this week, odds increased that the three-way tie for first place between Butler, Indiana Central and Evansville would remain unbroken. Two of the leaders, Butler and Indiana Central, complete their schedule this week. A state college card of 28 games is on tap, with Butler meeting Wabash Tuesday night and DePauw Saturday. 25th for Greyhounds

Indiana Central's Greyhounds, after winning their 25th straight game Saturday night by downing Ball State, 42-33, come back for their last loop game Saturday against Manchester, Evansville College suffered a nonconference loss to Ohio U. Saturday night in which high-scorer Gussie Doerner was held to 14 points. Booked for tonight: Huntington at Valparaiso, and the Valpo quintet faces its eighth consecutive conference loss and Indiana State Teachers at Western State, The remaining card:

Franklin and Manchester both added two wins to their records over the week-end, but the victories made only slight differences in the standings. Manchester's percentage raised from .818 to .846 but left the Manchester quint in sixth position because Indiana State added a win to keep No. 5 spot. Taylor drcoped from severith to ninth positior!, allowing Wabash and Franklin to shift up a notch. Wabash dropped St. Joseph’s to make it six victories and three defeats for .667, while Franklin's twin triumphs over Ball State and Hanover gave the Grizzlies nine wins to five losses for .646.

Among Piggy’s boys who were almost unanimously rated All-Amer-ican were Stretch Murphy, Johnny Wooden, Norm Cotton, Bob Kessler, and Jewell Young. Tonight's game marks the final home stand of Piggy’s 25th Boilermaker creation, and. although it isn’t one of Lambert's best teams, the boys are keyed to defeat Wisconsin as a tribute. Piggy led the Wabash College five in scoring when he was a 114pound sophomore forward. From Wabash he went to Lebanon High School, where he had several successful years as predecessor to Alva Staggs and Glenn Curtis, who followed with state champions. 1

One Bad Year b

In 1917, Piggy went to Purdue, where he remained ever since with the exception of 1918 when he was in military service. Only one year has a Lambert team dropped below .500 in the conference chase. That was in 1919 when Piggy came back from the army. Purdue handed him the team, such as it was, and the schedule, such. as it

away. Lambert has sired the type of race-horse basketball that has made the Big Ten famous. His teams were the original “point a minute” men, his fast break and non-set style of play chaotic but effective. An opposing -team scout once left a Purdue game tearing up his notes. “Yow can you tell what they're going to do when they don't know themselves?” he complained.

Tonight's Games

In other Big Ten games tonight, Indiana University meets Michigan at Ann Arbor; Illinois’ speedy sophomores meet Minnesota in Gopherland, and Chicago will give Northwestern a good scrimmage on the Wildcat floor. ; In last Saturday night’s games indiana defeated Chicago, 51 to 20, with Warren Lewis, sophomore, get-

Hogan Eyes Texas Open

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 16 (U. P.).—Money-wise Benny Hogan and Melvin (Chick) Harbert, two great pressure: players, play off their tie for the annual Texas Open golf championship today at Willow Springs course. Both had 272 totals—12 under par and a tournament record—for the 72-hole meet. The winner of the 18-hole play-off takes $1000 top money; the loser, $550. Hogan, a Texan now playing from Hershey, Pa., carded a 65 and a 66 in the 36-hole finals Sunday to beat Sammy Snead’s earlier 273 by a stroke, Harbert, young Battle Creek, Mich., pro and winner of the Beaumont Open in the last of 1941's tournaments, trailed Snead by two strokes and Ho- - gan by one at the end of 54 holes, He came ‘to the last nine in the afternoon needing a five-under par 30 to tie for first, and five birdies he made gave him another chance for first money.

Harbert

Snead Sliced Harbert, leading the field by three strokes at the end of the first 36 holes, stroked a 70 and a 65 for his

rounds of 70-71-65-66—272. Sam Snead, who finished third, added a 65-68 to his earlier rounds of 71-69 for a 273 total, tieing the previous tournament record set in 1941 by Lawson Little, defending champion. Hogan trickled a 165-yard approach to within five feet of the pin on the last hole for a possible birdie and the championship. But his putt on the soggy grass stopped just inches short and he was forced to take a par and a 272 total which Harbert tied. The tie gave Hogan a cinch on at least second money which, added to the $4900 he has earned already this year, will put him way ahead of the field for the nation’s top money winner again in 1942.

Butler Still 10 Points Shy

The Bulldogs just can’t do it. They can’t beat Marquette this year and that’s all there is to it. And the margin is 10 points. Saturday night {t was 40 to 30 at the Field House. Earlier this year it was 39 to 29 at Milwaukee. Marquette did it Saturday on the basis of some weird one-handed push shots from beyond the foul circle, and some weird passing on 13he part of Butler.

The Bulldogs weren't ever really in the game, and any time they did threaten a little, either a Hilltopper would sink ore, or a Bulldog would pass across the court in his owm territory, and lose the ball.

As Glenn Goes—

One other. observation: Butler seemed to go fine when big Glenn The whole team perks up if Glenn is working hard. Sometimes, however, he did and sometimes he didn’t Saturday night. He started slowly and Marquette took a 12 to 4 lead. Then he went into action. Between taking the ball off Marquette’s backboard and sinking pivot shots of his own, Miller paced Butler to a creditable 18 to 16 disadvantage at half. But Marquette just pulled away in the second half by shooting more and sinking more, grabbing the ball and not losing it. : And with eight minutes to go, that good old Butler rally never happened.
