TWO BIG Tits
ON FOR TONIGHT
Purdue Meets Butler and In
diana Tackles De Pauw
in Net Battles.

-Four State teams battle tonight on the
hardwood court in two Of the most in
teresting early season basket-b ball clashes
of the year. Purdue plays Butler at La
fayette while Indiana travels to Green
castle to clash with De PAW. The Boil
maker scrap, according to dope, should
be the better of the two contests. The
local cODegians under Pat Page have
boosted their stock wonderfully by de-
feats of Wisconsin and Chicago, and the
game is looked upon now as an even af-
fair whereas last week Purdue was a big
tavorite.
Even with Buffers two Big Ten vic-
tories to back up its claims to greatness,
Coach Lambert's men are given the slight
edge over the Irvington outfit. The Pur4
due team seems to have found itself early,
unlike some of the former Lafayette ag-
gregations, and in the present time seems
to be in fine form. Butler with two hard
games played Friday and Saturday may
not be in as fine fettle as Lambert's
players. The contest promises to be a
real scrap.
AT De PAW all is confidence for the
|. L: setto on this evenings program.
The Methodists have one of the most for
mldable groups of basket tossers in the
state and are expecting to give the
crimson beating. Indiana seems to be-
slowly rounding into form but does not
pack the punch that the Tigers carry,
who have in their lineup some of the
brilliant stars of Hoosier basket ball
Lewis and his crew may surprise the
Greencastle bunch, but it is very doubts
tul II they can put over a victory.

BUTLER VICTORIES OVER CHICAGO
AND WISCONSIN FEATURE WEEK;
PURDUE, DE PAW LOOM STRONG

With practically every team in the
State in action, the lid was pried off In
diana College basket ball with a bang
last week and a multitude of court fol-
lowers gazed with wonder at the wealth
of net material in Hoosierdom. The first
peep at some of the best basket ball in
the United States was sufficient and In
diana enthusiasts who watched the per-
formances of the various fives through
the week have relaxed, thoroughly con-
WINGED that the greatest net season in
the history of the State has began.
BY far the outstanding feature Of a
week Of revelation, was the work Of the
Butler College five. Friday Pat Page
took a bunch of youngsters, CARRIED in
the colors of the Irvington school that
two years ago was losing games to prac-
tlcally every secondary team in Indiana
by margins varying from ten to forty
points, TO Madison, Wisconsin for a game
with the Wisconsin University fve
When hte news flashed back that these
youngsters had decislyely trimmed the
team that was counted on as a sure first
division finisher in the Big Ten race,
local fans were electrified. but dubious.
But when Coach Page took the same
bunch down to Chicago the following
night for a game with his alma mater
and trimmed the Maroons by a 10 to 10
score, even the most skeptical believed
Butler had team.
These two victories mark the high
point in a Butler athletic revival. All

RING GOSSIP

With all due credit to these teams they
cannot be put in the class with Chicago
and Wisconsin and the results of the
contests early in the week lead to the
impression that Butler has a tendency to
slow up against a mediocre team and
play superhuman ball against a good one.
This must be overcome if the locals ex-
pect to carry through successfully the
long and hard schedule of the present
season. Tonight Butler will conclude its
trip by meeting Purdue at Lafayette.
With Purdue regarded as a very probabl
winner Of the Big Ten title this year and
with Butler flushed by victories over two
Big Ten schools the game tonight with
rivet the attention of all basket ball all

PURDUE WINS
FIRST TWO GAMES,
/ Purdue, even before the start Of the
blg len season, is picked as a very prob
able winner by virtue OF the showing
made by the Boilermakers last week in
two games against Indiana opposition.

State high school players in the lineup,
proved no match for PIGGY Lambert
powerful quintette and was beaten, 40 to
% Franklin undoubtedly has a team
this year that would make a big dent in
college basketball outside Of Indiana
and the convincing manner in which Pur-
due came out victorious gives lots Of
credit to the report that Lambert is
harbOring another Victory Five. To top
this victory off, Purdue won from Rose
Poly, 33 to 10, Friday.
Indiana, regarded as a rather doubt
full quantity before the start Of the sea-
son. Is still about In the same position,
although the Crimson played twice last
week. If anything the showing of Lewis
five in these games has boosted Crimson
basket stock. Although defeated, Indi-
ana appeared to have lots of possibilities
In the Habich game. With a lineup
numbering several really famous players
the independent team had to come strong
to defeat the Bloomington five by a SO
to 20 score. Indiana completely out
classed Rose Poly Saturday, winning
81 to 10.
