Over Buffalo; Play Tonight
Giesebrecht Credited With Two Goals
By HARRY MORRISON
The Caps are two points nearer to the Cleveland Barons’ first place notch today and all roads lead to
. |Cleveland Saturday night.
After spotting Buffalo a goal in the first 8 minutes and 56 seconds of the game af the Coliseum last night, the local hockey club came back to win, 4 to 2. Cleveland leads the western loop with 70 points, the Caps are second with 69 and Hershey, which beat Philadelphia last night, 5 to 2, is third with 68. The Bars and Barons have two games left to play, while the Caps meet Buffalo there tonight and ithen play Cleveland there Saturday, returning to Indianapolis Sunday for the season finale against Pittsburgh. If they beat Buffalo tonight they can go into first place.
Look Tired
You can just keep your fingers crossed all the time between now and Saturday, too, because the Caps looked tired. They hopped a late train and will need some of Dr. Herbie ' Lewis’ best jive pills to be in top form for the ‘pennant” game with Cleveland. High spots of the game were Joe (No! No!) Turner's magnificent goal tending and the way the Caps kept coming back when drive after drive was stopped by Bison goalie Claude Bourque. The Caps tied the score at 11:10 of the first period when Les Douglas popped the puck past Bourque on assists by Jack Keating and Roy Sawyer. Gus Taps it Home But soon after. the second period opened Hal Jackson got desperate and slapped the disc from away out in front of the blue line. Gus Giesebrecht said “hello” with a tap as it went past and it was goal number two for the Caps. Time: 4:03. Two minutes and 8 seconds later Bill Jennings did the same thing from a little closer in on a pass from Jud McAtee. Again Gus deflected the puck and it was goal number three. Meanwhile Buffalo was being bothersome, making everyone nervous, driving at Turner from all sides, never giving up on the idea that the Caps were easy stuff. So when Maxie Bennett found Joe off balance after a pass from Klein and Jack Toupin, at 10:47 of the third period, there was plenty to worry about. The Bisons were playing like a team that wanted to tie the game, but Ken Kilrea shot the puck to Connie Brown at 15:40 of the final period and Connie edged it backhand into the corner of the net in as pretty a shot ag you'd like to see. . So there was the game, on ice and wrapped up to show to Hershey and Cleveland. : Joe Starts Jiggling:
But it was No! No! doing a zig here and zag there, wiping his face with his big glove and looking sorrowful even when he turned away the hardest shots, that kept the Caps on top throughout: the game. - Early in the second period Joe came at least eight feet out of the net, jiggling like a monkey on a string. While the crowd shrieked Joe stayed out and stayed out, until he was able to get enough help to retire. Later in the same period, Pep Kelly got free and came in on Joe all alone, but No! No! made a leaping, flying, now-I-lay-me-down-to-sleep save. But look, fellas, get plenty of rest

Cage Season
Times Special NOTRE DAME, March 12.—Notre Dame’s basketball team will conclude its season tonight at Detroit against the University of Detroit. It will be the last game for Capt. Art Pope of Chicago, Frank Quinn, center from Indianapolis, who played at Cathedral there, and George Sobek of Hammond, fore ward. The 1941-42 squad is aiming at. a high scoring record among Irish teams, It now has 1002 points in 21 games. The 1935-36 team made 1035 points, the 37-38 five made 1016, and last year’s feam made 1062. The Irish never have been beaten by Detroit, but have faded after a January and February spurt and Coach George Keogan foresees a hard game. Notre Dame dropped its last two starts—to Michigan State and Marquette — after beating those teams here earlier in the season. Detroit holds one decision over Marquette.

Shortridge Faculty Upsets Talk-Talk and Lettermen in Wild Tilt, 24-20 vitamins Did It
Black eyes and bruises are the fashion’ at Shortridge today after the annual faculty-letterman basketball game. Confusion reigned as the faculty steam-rolled over the gridders for a 24-20 victory. Bob Nipper, Satan football coach, used rugby tactics to come out
of the altercation with 10 points (and six personal fouls).
Frank
Baird, Broad Ripple coach and member of the Kautsky’s, ranked
second with two from the field and four charity tosses. : Early in the game Ted Corbin, letterman, was called for tackling Bob Nipper . . . below the belt. Referees Kenneth Peterman and Keesling, varsity and reserve coaches for the Blue Devils, were accused of partiality when they called a technical foul on the football heroes for playing six men on the floor,
Stars in Line Play
Bill Kerbox, left half for the Blue Gridders, led the scoring for the lettermen with 7 points . . . and five personal fouls. Harvey Hudson starred for the lettermen with his line play, tackles, and excellent body blocks. During the: third quarter the pedagogs stopped play by a sit-down strike while Bob Nipper took a well-earned rest. Late in the game, the lettermen suffered another setback, when coach Peterman called a technical on the lettermen for leaving the bench to tackle Keesling. : Ed Deiderich and Bob Farris, Broad Ripple, and Bill Merrlil, of Shortridge, composed the rest of the professorial quintet.

Coaches Consider
Net Rule Changes
CHICAGO, March 12 (U. P.).— Basketball’'s “fan appeal” continues to mount with free-scoring games and there’s little likelihood of a curb being placed on- offensive tactics when the National basketball coaches’ association meets at New Orleans March 18-19-20, Nels Norgren, University of Chicago mentor and president of the association, said teday. The four major changes suggested to the rules committee are: 1. If a free throw is successful award the ball to the team scoring out of bounds in mid-court. At present, possession is awarded the
team scored upon out of bounds under its opponent's basket. 2. Require the official to handle the ball after every field goal. Under current rules any member of the team scored upon can grab the
E ball and put it in play immediately.
3. Permit five personal fouls before a player is ejected from the game. : 4. If the present limit of four personal fouls is retained, give a player an additional personal before eject-
ing him in overtime games.
It isn’t clever shooting and boomswish baskets that have put Central of Lawrence where they are today— it’s vitamins and plenty of talk-talk. No, sir. You can disregard all those stretch drives and that ballhandling. - The whole secret is in those little pills Coach Fred Keesling keeps in his desk. Central of Lawrence isn’t exactly a weak bunch of boys. They live out there outside the smog belt, where the air is fresh and clean and spring comes ‘round early and
the sun stays late. They're not dumb, either. They catch on.
How to Fool Em
For instance, it’s no secret that by the time it’s game time at Anderson Saturday afternoon, the boys on the team, including the subs; will know the weakness of every Aurora lad he’s likely to meet, his strength, and will have a theory about how to play him. “Of course, whether we really know anything about our opponents won't be shown definitely until after the game,” said Xeesling. “But we're trying.” Then if Central whips Aurora, the boys will start sorting out things they've been told about the players or’ the Madison or Crawfordsville five. The Central boys also have stored away some ideas about how to fool the boys they're likely to meet, how a pivot here and a fake there against a certain boy may mean an extra two points. Pass some pills our way, coach, when the score’s tied, 32-all, with
30 seconds to go.
Central Bears
Server, the Gimbel Cubs will meet in Crawfordsville, night contest, fea rence Central-Aurora winner,’ may be surprising, especially if the hotstreak Central Bears emerge from the early game. Livia Fy Lawrence, after nipping Anderson’s Indians in-the regional; doom as an “X” quantity of unpredict‘able ‘basketball. They heave the fight ‘and the ability to take: anything in stride. t they: realize they have a ball ‘glub going. : Ui Madison has won 27 games this season, losing only to Jeffersonville early in the schedule, While Madison has held tourney opponents to an average of 20: points per game, Crawfordsville has been scoring an average of 52 points against sectional and regional quintets. , Aurora has had a good season, but most of it against mediocre competition. Nevertheless, both games loom as thrillers, and no matter which two play in the deciding tilt, Madison is going to have its hands full with Lawrence Cen tral (there’s an innuendo there).
_ Hatchets Vs. Bears Meanwhile, the Washington-Ev-ansville Central clash in the Vine cennes final should prove to be a decisive contest. At least there will be no other game with such magnitude. Washington has won 21 and lost one this season. The Hatchets are champs, and they move with that smooth'confidence of champions—but they do fear Evansville. The Beats displayed a certain tenacity that's hard ‘to ignore when they defeated Boonville after three overtimes last week. Central lost only to Jasper, a team Washington has licked three times. And Hatchet fans thought their 32-31 loss to Central indicated the Bears couldn't furn the trick again.” ; !
