BLOOMINGTON. IND, FEB. 1O.-In-
diana University's basketball ~represen-
tatives used a 24-to-1S victory over the
De PAW Tigers here last night to sat
isfy to some extent the hunger of Grim

Not only were the Crimson admirers

but they saw their favorites travelling at
q pace that gives promise OF the athletes
under Coach Lewis wing squaring their
count with Purdue at the next meeting
on the local floor.

the Conference lead and Crimson sup
porters now believe their favorites are
destined to finish their Conference
schedule in triumph.
SNAPPER STYLE
WINS FOR 1. L.
Superior speed, a snappier attack at
n
combined to bring about the Indiana vic
tory over De PAW. The teams fought
as even a battle as fans with anything
but an exceptionally strong heart could
stand, but late in the second session the
pace started to tell on Coach Buss' scrap
pers and they were forced to accept the
bitter dose, but not without Offering a
noble fight in which they gave all they
had.
MendenhalI started the score pot boil
in rf-fHh nil cold e. NJ narY~
SHORTLY after the tip-off. Dean then
registered his first of eight foul goals
for indiana, the feat being followed
shortly by a Cannon duplicate. Thomas
then threw the teams into the first of
three ties for the period on a field goal.
Dean then gave Indiana the lead on
foul toss, but Cannon brought things
back to even terms with another free
throw. Dean tossed another foul and
Cannon came back to tie the count for
the last time with his free effort.
The count now stood 5-all. but not
for long. Mendenhall got his second field
goal at this stage and the Tigers were
showing form that appeared to be worth
the victory. Indiana, however, copied
a lead that was never lost q few seconds
later when Thomas followed Deans free
throw with a field marker, making the
count to z in favor of the Lewis
pr0teges. Marxson, who had gone in for
DeHOrity just a few moments previous,

CANNON CAGES
ONE-HANDER.
Dean and Cannon started the second
half with their foul goal performances
Indiana shot up four points higher In
the scoring column at the start, but here
they were checked by q De PAW rally,
which Melted the same number Of points.
Dean and Thomas then stepped out for
two Indiana field goals and Cannon came
hard on their heels with a free throw
and the most thrilling hand shot for
field goal that has been seen on the
Bloomington floor for several seasons
The fighting Tiger leader was smothered
under a heavy guard at the side of the
court when his left paw shot up and he
let fly with a toss that sent the sphere
through without touching the ring.
Dean followed with field and foul goal
after Cannon had made good an attempt
at the free line. Cannon gain registered
from the little black mark, and the gun
was fired as Deans final field goal went
sailing through the hoop.
Gipson Of De PAW was removed from
the contest late in the second half via the
personal foul route. The speedy forward
was fighting hard and threw himself
around the court In n manner that one
cannot do without fOullng. The same can
Re said for Thomas of Indiana. who left
the floor a short time after GipsOn de-
parted
The big. powerful Indiana athletes
seemed far superior to the Tigers at
every angle of the game; their attack
was carried out by smooth-running
passing combination and their defense
was wonderful, vet they could not shake
the Tigers Off long enough to throw their
hooks into a comfortable lead. Had the
Crimson been opposing a team with less
courage and willingness to mix than the
Bussmen had, then the score would show
how the Indiana speedsters were step
ping.
Indiana brought the ball down the
floor time after time for what appeared
to be sure-thing shots from under the
basket but in the majority of cases the
denhall or Young before they could toss
the ball. When they were not stopped
they were in such a hurry that they blew
many Of their chances.
The Tiger chances from close range
were few and far between and White
Gagged their only under the basket shot,
early in the second session.
Dean, Marxson and Maynard were cut
ting in fast on the De Pauwites at all
times and the Tigers were forced to get
all their shots off in a hurry, yet they
showed more accurancy than did the
Crimson.
There were two men who stood out
above all others as the class of the court.
They were Cannon Of De Pauw and Dean
of Indiana. Cannon got eight foul goals
and two field markers, while Dean got
the same number Of fouls and one more
field goal Besides making the points.
these men stood head and shoulders
above the others in covering the court,
both on defense and offense. Summary
