ri HE Michigan-Purduc( game at
Ann Arbor tonight is the
"big game" of the Big Ten
net race. "A championship depends
on that game from all dope indfca-
tiors, and although it has not re-
ceived an exceptional amount of
ballyhoo. it wouldn't be bad guess
to surmise the Yost field house will
be damned tonight. Although Michi-
gan is the stronger team on paper,
we are going to take chance and
take Purdue to win. Ward Lambert,
in our opinion, is the smartest court
mentor in the Conference, and if his
team has chance it will win. Wis
consin will be at Illinois tonight.
Well take the Illini.
We got lucky on our Saturday
Big Ten picks ESQ Eddie insin-
yates, at any rateI. All three won
and boosted our batting average to
.739.
Indiana's 1928 victory over Wis
consin Saturday night was all the
more brilliant because Deans team
was handicapped in the first half
without getting the tip-off. Art
Beckner was in the center circle
jumping part of the time) against
the tall Kowalcbyk. The Badgers
had the tip taken away from them
repeatedly by alert Crimson for
wards. Correll filled the shoes of
Jack Winston at Backyard in great
style. The Badgers lost no time in
discovering that trying to work the
ball under the basket was almost
useless. Correll was right there hold
ing his ground and fighting like a
demon.
The Crimson used little strategy
in the final half to out-smart the
Badgers. The delayed offense came
into use and Correll and Wells
staged a little warming.up practice
in the back court. The Wisconsin
outfit hurriedly came down the floor
five-strong to break it up. Indiana
forwards had a pleasing little habit
of slipping down the floor, unseen,
to snag long passes and toss in the
field goals unmolested.
- INDIANAPOLIS net fans are
regarding the local sectional
tourney with some degree of
interest notwithstanding the fact
Tech is an overwhelming favorite
to take the honors. Although the
East Side quintet has the classlest ar
ray of individual stars and smoother
working plays than any other club
in the meet, the sailing will be
rough. Every club the Arsenalites-
face will be fighting twice as hard to
knock off the favorites. Manual
gets the good break 81 and draws
Tech as it's first round opponent.
The Red and White no doubt will be
scrapping. The best bet for the
final contestants is Technical in. the
upper bracket and the winner of the
Shortridge- Warren Central fray in
the lower braclset.
Bloomington is all 'het up this
week. The Panthers will meet
MartinsviIIe in the Bloomington sec
tional and hopes are running high
down South that the Artesian City
five will meet up with something a
bit too tough. That game is liable
to be real battle. The Panthers
will be playing for over their heads
and the Curtis-coached team will find
it necessary to uncover its best in
order to dispose of the Partners.
Bedford also has something to
worry about in it sectional Mitchell
Blue Jackets will be right there con-
testing the right of the Stone City
crew as sectional champs.
The East Chicago sectional is 60
ing to be one of those housekeeping"
affairs. Froebel, Emerson, Ham
mond and Whiting all are in the
meet.
