Saturday and HOOSler team Is nlAtd
ep in one of the scraps. Iowa comes to
this State for contests with the Boiler
makers and the Crimson, and their first
stop is at Lafayette. The other confer
ence game on Saturday Is Chicago at
Minnesota Iowa meets Indiana on the
following Monday.
Minnesota, which has been setting such
a fast pace in the early season games
does not play Purdue this year. The
Gophers have eight more games to play.
They meet Chicago and Illinois twice.
and Indiana, Northwestern, Iowa ana
Wisconsin in return games. After play
ing Chicago this Saturday and l. l. on
Feb. 4, they take on Illinois on two sue
cessive Saturdays, Feb. IL and Is IN
contests shat may mean mucn IN the
conference net race.
Another error can be charged against
Old Man DOpe-Yale defeated Knox by
one point the other day. The victory
was by the slight margin of one point,
but Yale is very thankful Apparently
Knox was exhausted oy It's EXTENSIVE 4,.N.
barnst orming tour through the East.
Also, the Knox captain was inc9pacltated
because Of 4 broken nose received III Il
game d few days prior to the CLASH with
old Eli.
A new name suggested for indianapolis
is the Tournament City. The county
basket ball meet starts things rolling TO
morrow and Saturday. Next comes the
sectional high school tourney, then the
proposed National intercollegiate, after
that the final State High School I0urna-
ment and somewhere in between, or after,
or before is the Independent Amateur
tourney.
1t is urged by the management of the
county tourney that the Indianapolis rams
attending the games occupy the lower
floor boxes or balcony so that the rooters
no Ri
the bIeachers on the lower floor.
The Indiana De Pauw game at Bloom
ington tonight promises to be much
closer than the first contest that ended
in Al to % victory for the Greencastie
five The Crimson outfit has improved
much since that time and Walkers play
ers will have to be stepping fast II they
would make it two straight. Although
the De PAW squad retSns decided
favorite there are l. L. rooters who
would not think it strange If the Bloom
ington team springs surprise on the
speed boys" that have lost only one
game this season. CannOn'S loss, 1t is
thought. will not weaken De Paw as
much as some are inclined to think.
Four girls teams are finally lined up
for the county tourney starting tom0r-
row at Tomlinson Hall. There has been
a little trouble because some Of the teams
have been playing under girls rules, some
under modified boys rules and Still
others under the regular boys rules. 1t
seems as though there should be some
arrangement reached in this state
through the l. H. S A A. whereby
identical playing 1regulauonS would gov
| ern the girls contests. There would
| be no arguments than as TO which rules
| would be used. A team that has been
playing under girls rules only can not
| be blamed for not wanting to compete
/ uudpr other conditions.
Five high school games stand out as
being choice morsel3 Tor f pIoo danS on IN
travels to Bedford. Franklin is host to
| Anderson, Upton gets away from JUS
own floor to tackle Kokomo' Lebanon {, n
| for a return game There are other good
! contests, but the matches mentioned mere
| seem TO have the edge when it comes to
| ancient rivalry and all that sort of thing.
! 1t is becoming more and more appar-
| ent that a contest of any importance
| should have two officials. 1t has been
/ a custom in the Big Ten for years and
! the high schools are taking up the prac-
! tice for big games. With the referred
| following the ball in a hard, fast game
| there is no doubt but that another Off

| its other advantages a referee gains IL
! confidence by knowing that there Is an-
| other pair of eyes watching the play
| Iowa does not seem to pack the punch
! 1t carried last year and the BollermakerS
! are not expecting the hard tussle expert

/ due nosed out the Hawkeyes after one OF
| the best home contests of the year. Pur,
| due defeated Iowa easily at Iowa last
week and the teams clash again at La
| fayette Saturday.
| Every Indianapolis high school team
| plays Friday night. Tech meets Green
| field at that town in what should be an
| other victory for the Green and White
! Manual stacks up against Martinsville in
! the Artesian City in a contest in which
more stuff than in previous games II a
win is to be chalked up, and Shortridge
plays Shelbyville at the north side gym
in a contest in which all dope hands
! the game to the visitors before it
starts.
Hanover is one of those teams one
never can tell about. There are several
above the ordinary players on the squad
and when all of them are playing in
top form their opponents had better be
on their toes. wabash and Hanover
stack up against each other at Craw-
the favorite, but the Little Giants will
find a battle on their hands. Hanover
is far above the weakling class when it
comes to the basket ball sport.

under-rated and possesses many posi-
