ACCORDING to Northwestern university's sports ‘news service, the Wildcat basketballers boast of one of the foremost, exponents of the one-handed push shot that is gaining wide favor in big-time cage circles these days. The Wildcats’ ace one-handed tosser is Capt. Russ Wendland, high-scoring guard. . . . This senior player was one of the first to employ this type of shot when he* made his collegiate debut three years ago. ~ Coach Dutch Lonborg of the Wildcats attributes the growing popularity of the one-handed shot to a tightening up of the defense which forced players to adopt a shot which they could get away faster. The fact that a smaller ball is now being used is another Teason why the boys are tossing it at the hoop with ong hand. Lonborg believes that the one-hantled shot will become more common in the future. . . . “It’s more accurate than the two-handed shot,” says the Wildcat mentor. “With the latter shot, a player

5 must have both arms in unison and a slight nudge by an opposing

player can send it off line. <The defense also finds it harder to guard a player who uses a one-handed shot. He gets the ball away much faster and unless the opposing guard is set, he has difficulty interfering with the shot.” ~ Wendland isn’t the only player on the Northwestern squad who uses the one-handed shot. . » » Bobby Jake, forward, is another. «+. In fact Jake uses ‘the same technique in making free throws.

«+. .'The fact that both rank among the leading scorers in the con- . ference demonstrates the effectiveness of the shot.

New Tribester Rolls Out the Kegs

THE Indianapolis Indians’ new third sacker, Mickey Haslin, purchased from Toronto, is working in a brewery in Pennsylvania. +» « Said wrestling the kegs has put him right in the “pink” . . . and ‘that he will be in good shape at reporting time when the Tribesters ‘open their training camp at Indiana university.

Haslin said he is in 3-A in the draft. «+ He'll fill in for Joe Bestudik, now in the armed forces. Haslin is rated a better fielder than Bestudik but isn’t likely ‘match Joe at the plate. . . .

The lead then switched back and forth several times and three minutes before the end of the game the soldiers led by three points. field goal and a free throw by Braden for the Bulldogs evened the score to 33-all. Then, with one minute to play, Glenn Miller, a Butler guard, stepped to the free throw line and tossed in the winning point.

Wisconsin Has

‘Spoiler’s’ Role

With Indiana

By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent

a pre-season favorite that “flopped,” undertakes to play the role of a spoiler when it entertains undefeated Indiana at Madison in the headline game of tomorrow night's Big Ten basketball schedule. ;

linois’ defending champions against Minnesota at Minneapolis. Iowa plays Northwestern at Evanston and Purdue goes outside conference ranks to meet Great Lakes at Chicago in other games. With an all-veteran starting lineup and a record of six trium in seven non-conference con at the outset of the campaign, Wisconsin was installed as one of the top title choices when league play began. The Badgers struck a slump, however, and lost two of the first three conference games. Wisconsin then bounced back to win the next

third place in the standing. . That Man Kotz

ference games and 15 in a row for the entire season, rest on two factors—the ability of big Johnny Kotz to maintain his recent scoring pace and the edge of playing at home. | Kotz established an all-time Big Ten scoring record last season with 242 points. After failing to click in early conference. games. he hit the comeback trail to score 43 points in his last two starts. If Kotz is “on” tomorrow Wisconsin must be conceded a chance to spoil the Hoosiers’ recor Only one conference team, Illinois, has been able to beat Wisconsin at Madison in the past three seasons. Over the same stretch the Badgers have won 14 league contests on their home floor.

It also was the first time in the last four starts the Caps have set ‘back the Ohio boys. ‘Sandy Ross, rugged defense man for the Caps, figured prominently in the Indianapolis victory, scoring one

other two. The game was only one minute and 21 seconds old when Bill McKenzie bounced the puck off Fats Perras into the net after taking assists from Earl Bartholome and Phil Hergesheimer. Less than two minutes later, the Barons rapped at the Indianapolis goal again, Lou Trudel pushing in the puck at 2:53, assisted by the same members of, the Cleveland line. Slow Traveling Shots Both of the Cleveland goals were slow traveling shots that caromed off Perras into the net and it looked

into a rout. | . It was then that Sandy Ross went to work and the Caps got together with some of the finest defensive work seen here this season. Connie Brown, taking an accurate
