PURDUE IS JO[TED
! BY BADGER CAGERS
Wisconsin Springs Stunning
Upset, 81 to rs, Giving
Michigan Lead.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 22.-Purdue's
mighty machine has been stalled at
last, and today Michigan was the UNI
disputed leader IN the dizzy Big Ten
basket ball championship whirligig with
four victories and no defeats.
Wisconsin, which has dropped its only
game in six starts to Michigan, turned
the trick last night, upsetting the Boiler
makers, 81 to rs, at Lafayette. 1t was
one of the most stunning upsets of the
campaign, and as result Michigan
loafed into first place and Wisconsin
jumped into tie for second place with
Purdue.
1t was gentleman from Indiana,
Hank Kowalczyk, Fort Wayne, who got
most of the glory of the Badger triumph.
Kowalczyk, a 6-foot-6-inch forward,
stopped Purdues scoring ace, Stretch"
Murphy, allowing his mates to trip
through the Boilermaker defense time
and again for victory. The Boiler
makers fought hard fight, and might
have come through, but they missed 10
free throws in Is attempts, while the
Badgers shared Is out of Is chances.
Tenhopen at center and Foster at
forward were on the receiving end of
most of Wisconsin's short passes. and
together they looped the basket for 19
points. Kowalczyk scored one field goal
and two free throws, while the best
Murphy could do was to duplicate 1t.
Previously Murphy had averaged better
than Is points game.
Both teams played good defensive
basket ball. The Badgers, however.
excelled, forcing Purdue to make most
OF its shots from long distances. Glen
Harmeson was the only Boilermaker to
break through repeatedly. He scored
three field goals and missed several
short losses.
Indiana got some revenge for its
three defeats by plastering Minnesota,
Al to 81, at Bloomington in the only
other Big Ten game last night. The
GOpherS, on the bottom of the cham
pionship heap with five straight defeats,
were no match for the Hoosiers, who
seemed much improved. Tt was the last
game for Bob Correll, Indiana guard
and former captain, who completed
three years Of play.
Only one more conference game is
programmed this week, the Chicago
Ohio State game at Columbus Saturday
night. Two important northampton
ship clashes will be played, however
Notre Dame invading Northwestern and
Creighton College of Omaha tackling
Iowa at Iowa City Saturday night.
Michigan will be idle until February
9. when it plays Ohio State. while Pur-
due and Wisconsin do not get into ac-
ton until February Is, when the Boiler
makers meet Northwestern and the
Badgers invade Indiana.

The development of the out-of-
bounds play in basket ball proves
clearly that this sport has as many
up-to-date coaches as any American
game, In the beginning there vas
no system to this play. Every man
was for himself. Then the out-of-
bounds block of two men came
along. Later three were used with
all sorts Of clever blocking to free
one OF them. These plays still exist.
or late another advance has been
made. Ohio State was ore of the
first to employ it. Watch them in

they have the ball out-of-bounds

diately No. will drive at top speed

at large. 1t is believed that he sep
arated from the four negroes, after
the Jail break.
The three negroes, Walter Law
renee, Amos Simmons and James
Young, were captured by Pennsyl-
vania State Police.
They were taken into custody just
outside of the borough limits of
Hamburg, with two colored women,
when they could produce no own
er's or drivers license for the auto
mobile, bearing a Delaware license,
in which they we're riding.
When Pennsylvania State Police
questioned the six negroes in the
Office of a justice of the peace at
Hamburg, four of them are said to
have admitted that they were among
the five prisoners who escaped from
the Dover Jail. Delaware authori-
ties were then notified.
George escaped after having OBJ
tanned permission to leave the JUS
tees Office for few minutes.
Once in the yard he leaped a fence
and fled. officer Graeff started to
pursue him, but turned to see Law
renee and Young run from the
squire's Office. Instead he turned and
began chasing the other two.
In the confusion, police say Sim
mons and the two women also fed
the Office, got into the automobile
and tried to get away. However,
Graeff had taken the key of the car
and they were surrounded by towns
men who responded to the call for
help. Graeff, in the meanwhile, with
the assistance of several men, had
cornered Lawrence and Young and
returned them to the squire's office.
With the arrival of State Police a
posse was formed to hunt down the
escaped man.
Later the women were taken to
Pottsville.
