Leader in Big Ten, When
They Face Saturday.

BY tho Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 6.-Michigan's
fast pivoting team held both the hopes
and fears of conference leaders today as
the Big Ten basket ball race entered
upon its home stretch.
The leaders hoped the Maize and Blue
machine. which has already Won three
consecutive victories. would crush Pur-
due in their game at Ann Arbor Satur-
day. thereby topping the Boilermakers
from first place. Likewise they feared
to meet Bonnie Oosterbaan and his
mates, as they must before they end th,,
season.
Michigan. after losing its first two
games to Wisconsin and Northwestern.
has so mastered its difficult pivot play
that Indiana, Ohio State and Chicago
have fallen in the path of the onrush-
ing Maize and Blue.
OF the six conference games this
week the Micfigan-Purdue game will be
the most important. A defeat for Pur-
due likewise would scramble the race.

Whether this can be arranged or not

them Saturday as restricting Peltzer
to 14-day competitive period In this

Peltzer, however. maintains that this

There is no restriction. he insists, so
