evening consolation match. Howe previously had downed the Rockets, 42-32, in regular season play. Bedford took the title with a 5225 rout of Jeffersonville in the evening feature after holding a 25-12 halftime lead. Jack Turner and Morris Root led the. Stonecutter drive, accounting for 24 points between them. They did likewise in the afternoon as Bedford bested Howe, 34-28, putting in 29 of the victors’ 34 points. During the third quarter the Jeff Red Devils were held scoreless from the field and during the whole game they only basketed seven. The Hornets had to come from behind to force their game with Ripple into an overtime and then they added seven more points for victory. The vital point was produced by Jim Stutz, who sank a free throw to knot the game at 39-all at the regulation closing time. Arlen Risley was the No. 1 man for Howe in the overtime as he

Bedford Wins Net Meet: Howe Gets Some Solace

Bedford's Stonecutters were back home today with the championship in Howe's holiday basketball tournament, but the Hornets themselves had something to salve their wounds. Not only did Woody Yeager's East side basketeers give the Stonecutters a bitter afternoon battle before yielding yesterday at the Fieldhouse, but they hung up their second victory of the season over their Broad Ripple rivals, 46-41, in the;

Jeffersonville for a half of their afternoon engagement, but the Rockets were unable to brake the Red Devils in the second half, and {Jefr romped to a 48-37 triumph. The Satans and Rockets reached intermission locked in a 20-20 draw. Bedford Surges A late surge by Bedford put the opening afternoon game out of Howe's reach. At the automatic timeout in the fourth quarter the clubs were locked in a 28-28 score. Root pushed in a fielder, and the! other four points were just clinchers.

Bulldogs Given Brief Furlough

Butler university's Bulldogs went through an extensive drill yesterday before a two-day Christmas break in preparation for the game with Canterbury college Saturday night at the fieldhouse. After the break the Bulldogs will returfi to practice Thursday and Friday. Coach Tony Hinkle drilled his men in free throws and defense during Monday's session. He continued his new practice of having man hit three consecutive charity tosses before leaving the floor. Defense was stressed in an effort to find the man or men to hold down the high scoring Canterbury center, James Springer. Springer has scored 136 points in six games this season. John Barrowcliff, tallest man on the Butler roster, probably will get the largest share of the responsibility of guarding Springer. Barrowcliff is 6 feet 5 inches and has started all games to date, Monday’s scrimmage found last week’s starting combination of forwards Jerry Cranny and Ralph

each

center and guards Herod Toon and Charles Maas working together. This combination probably will get the nod from Hinkle to start the

Weather Bothers Big Nine Champs

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 24 (U, P), -—Ray Eliot ordered secret and hard scrimmage sessions for his Illinois» football team today and said his Christmas eve message to his play« ers would be four words: “Work and more work.” “Of course,” the coach of the Big Nine champions added, “I'm go« ing to give them tomorrow off. But right now it looks like I'll have them out twice a day Thursday and Fri. day because we are far below form and work is the only thing which will get us in shape for U. C. L. A.” Tomorrow — Christmas day — and Sunday are the only off-days in Eliot's schedule, although the drills next Monday and Tuesday will be light ones.

Need Contact Work

“We haven't had an outdoor worke out since the Northwestern game on Saturday, Nov. 23,” Eliot exe Haine. “So my boys need contact “Besides they have to get used to this climate.” The climate was the only major concern of the Illini gridders when they left a train late yesterday and went to a practice field to work out, They complained they had troubles breathing in the rainy California atmosphere but expressed confldence that it was only a minor item they would be able to overcome by New Year's day and the Rose Bow! game against U. C. L. A. Hopes for Dry Field Eliot sald his team, while below playing condition, was in good shape so far as injuries were cone cerned and that with the exception of Quarterback Bernie Krueger his club should be at peak strength for this first game in the five-year Rose Bowl pact between the Western and Pacific coast conferences. He expects to start Isiah Owens and Sam Zatkoff at ends, Alex Agase and John Wrenn at guards, Lou Agase and Bob Cunz at tackles, Mac Wenskunas at center and Perry Moss, Buddy Young, Julius Rykovich and Russ Steger in -the backfield. “But there may be some changes.” he added. “I might have to make some shifts to get more weight into my team for we are only going to average about 191 pounds in the line against U. C. L. A's 213 ard our backfield is going to be lighter, t00.” He indicated that if the going is muddy he will call on more beef, emphasizing that he was hoping for a dry field so he could make use of
