The two wilL-play 20 point match at
1s5 billiards. At both entertainments a
lecture on the fine points of the game
viii be given by the two experts.
No billiardist has gained the fame and
publicity earned by the brilliant Willie
Hoppe. He broke in crowned circles first
in 1906, when he wrestled the title from
Nignaux in Paris From that time until
the present he has Teigned. Other titles
have come his way, but all look alike. He
Is the billiard master and cue king.
Hoppe has been seen in virtually all
parts Of the United States. His unOffi
cial mark OF 3D. points and his official
record of sos never have been equaled.
His ayera ges stand alone. When he aver
aged forty seven IN the 1919 champion
ship tournament, he surpassed any pre-
viOus mark by seventeen points and his
fifty-five average for 1905 points on the
last American tour is the greatest mark
ever registered.

straight win and they are getting better
every day. Their total of 172 points IN
four games isn't half bad for any kind
of a team.
Coach Black deserves a world Of credit
for the machine he has built up. Indi-
vidual stars who throw baskets the en-
tire length of the fooE are conspicuous
on the Tech team this year by their alb
sence. Each man is a star at his re
spective position and there apparently
isn't a weak spot on the team.
Too much credit cannot he given
Bloomington for the fight they put up.
The fact that Tech had to cali time ont
in the last minute and a half of play to
stop an avalanche of baskets by Bloom
ington forwards clearly demonstrates
this. Two minutes before the end of the
game Tech was leading by twenty points.
The final count was 80 to %.
