suspect lay hidden . beneath the 1| challenge of Doxie Moore, Mt. Vernon high’ school athletic director, when he asked for—and got—a bas-! ketball game between Illinois and Indiana ali-star players. Doxie’s “dream game” here the night of Aug. 29 brings together Moore-piloted Illinois greats and the Hoosiers of Paul Lostutter, coach of ‘the Delphi (Ind.) team. back in 1928 when Doxie played forward. “Lostutter always said he’d never lose to one of my teams, and he’s not planning to start now,” Doxie 'said today. Moore couldnt have selected a more strategic time to pit Illinois’ best talent a, t the allegedly

Jack Eadie, flashy West Frankfort forward, and Don Morris, Streator sharpshooter.

Former Purdue Player

Doxie discredits a suggestion that Illinois hardwood play is erior to that of the Hoosier state, where, it is rumored, a baby beys’ first playthings are a rattle and a basketball. : “Teams in our state are just as good,” Doxie said, “but we haven't as many as Indiana and they get all the credit. Naturally, with more teams, Indiana is bound ‘to have more good players.” Doxie bases his comparison not only on his experience at Delphi, but on two years as regular forward of the West Lafayette high- school team. The Indiana all-star -team will play a Kentucky all-star aggregation Aug. 28 at the foliseum in Indianapolis before coming here.
