game of its current season to down the Irish, who led by three points at the end of the first half.

Inability of the Irish to make free throws was the greatest single factor in their defeat. From the floor they outshot Indiana with a .301 average. The Hoosiers were under par with a .257. However Indiana hit 14 of 23 free throws to nine of 21 for Notre Dame. : Seven Irish Fouls ~The Irish again employed their rough and tumble 'actics, committing seven fouls in the last| minute and a half of play as they tried to break up Indiana's stall! A minute and a half of the game was gone before Indiana's Lou Watson broke the ice with a one-hander and the race was on. After the Irish tied the score at eight-all and again at 10-all they, raced into an eight-point ead on plays through the middle. Indiana bounced back to make the score 21 to 20 with 30 seconds to go in the period, but Kevin, O’Shea and John Brannan clicked for two quick baskets to make the half time margin, -- -Both teams had cooled off during the half and interceptions became the vogue. Three successive buckets put the Hoosiers back in the lead, but the Irish always managed to come back and at one time in the half had a four point lead from shots by O'Shea. Indiana's Tom Schwartz began to click on tip shots and ran the score to 45 to 38 against Notre; Dame.

Notre Dame its last point with but nine seconds to go. And then the fieldhouse went crazy in testimony of Notre Dame's unpopularity. Purdue was no pushover for the Bulldogs of Butler although they led only once in the game, and then in the last half. Butler's ability to hit from out on the floor proved the difference as
