FANS EXPECT
MANY THRILLS.
Although the Little Giant Droteges OF
Pete Vaughan all but doubled the coun
against the Boilermakers at Lafayette a
short time ago State fans are Of the
opinion that the rivalry battle at Craw-
louisville tomorrow night will be one
of the big events Of the season, ana
there will be lot of them present to see
the scrap come or
Purdue has had somewhat Of an en-
ratio career since losing to the wabash
ers First they showed all the class in
| the world in handing Indiana a facing
| at Lafayette, thereby going into the Con-
| ference lead. Then the tables were re-
versed slightly and the BOilermakers lost
! two successive Conference games TO
/ Michigan and Illinois, which leaves them
/ In third place in the Conference stand
/ ing. The form displayed by the Boiler
/ makers in their tussle with Indiana mas
/ been absent since that big night, Dut
/ Purdue fans are OF the OPINION t Luat
their favorites are due" at this time
/ and that they will be back on the right
/ track when they make their 1871 WISH
/ 10 the Scarlet court.
Little dope is on the market as re-
| suit of the Purdue Wabash scrap at La
| favette. It is known fact that the
Scarlet club has found 1t Impossible TO
/ get going right on the wabash floor this
/ season and this Is going to handicap
/ them somewhat when they meet the ad-
vance of Coach Lambert's athletes Then
/ again, look at last years record DOCK
! aud see what happened. Wabash beat
| Purdue at Lafayette, then fell easy VIC
/ tins to the Bo1ermakers at WABASH a
short time later. SO, all IN all II LOOKS
| like a good horse race, and lot or fans
are going to be surprised, no matter
which side piles up the winning total to-
morrow evening.
TIGER CUNT
ALWAYS DANGEROUS.
| The De PAW Tigers will beat trail
over to Bloomington and attack the In
diana Crimsons on their own battle
ground Wednesday night. Indiana, fig
ured through any of the numerous dope
channels should win this contest II they
are TO show that Western Conference
basket ball is the best in the west, put
the Tigers are hghting lot ana there
/ is no telling what their speed may 90.
The wabash victory over De PAW was
gained by q margin of three points, and
Hoosierdom is waiting to see what In
diana can do with the Tigers wednesday
night If De PAW beats Indiana or
Indiana fails to beat De Pauw By more
than three points, then the State cham
pionship dispute will be all in favor OF
Wabash for the time being; that is, II
Wabash again stops Purdue Tuesday.
A scrap that will affect the Conference
standing Of the Bonermakers will be
staged between them and the Ohio state
Quintette at Lafayette Saturday night
Roth Indiana and Purdue have trouAeed
the Buckeyes on their home moor ana
the Lambert athletes should nave easy
sailing against them on the Purdue hoo1
Saturday night. a defeat III this scrap,
however, would just about make II I'M
possible for Purdue to do anything
/ .reditabla in the Conference this season.
Illinois basket squad proved more than
the Purdue team could handle on the
Lafayette court Saturday night and the
Suckers came through the contest with
39-to-28 victory, landing in the second
Conference berth. Purdue's floor Work
was probably every bit as good as that
of the Illinois combination, but the HoOs-
iers missed countless shots and then fell
down somewhat in their defensive game,
at which the visitors also showed consId-
cradle class.
Facing a 19-to-13 handicap at the stara
Of the second half, the Purdue team rail-
lied and registered five points before Il
linois got busy and again STEPPED out to
a comfortable lead Reitsch and Hell
strom went best for Illinois in the scor-
ing department While White led the Pur-
due attack with five field goals and six
fouls.
De PAUW GIVES
DETROIT BEATING.
The terrific drive of the De Paw com.
bination brought out a 33-tO-17 victory
over Detroit Junior College in their scrap
at Detroit. Cannon, GIBSON and Menden-
hall fairly burned the court with their
speed and had piled up enough points
to let Coach Buss send substitutes in
their places early in the second period.
The Tigers play the Michigan Aggies at
Lansing tonight.
How the Notre Dame basket tossers can
scramble forward to well-nigh comfort
able leads in the opening session, then
slide back to be handed sound lacings
In the second half is becoming somewhat
Of a mystery to HoOsier fans. In their
past four games, two with De PAW, one
with Western Normal and one with Mar
quette, the Irish have held frst-half
leads and came out on the short end Of
the count in the long run. They suffered
their most recent beating at Milwaukee
Saturday night, going down before the
Marquette crowd, % to 10. after holding
the lead at the rest period.
