UNbEATEN BIC TEN
CUNTS TO BATTLE
Michigan Invades Iowa Gym.
Purdue, Also Undefeated,
Plays Northwestern.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 12.-Gunnine
for the Big Ten basket ball champion
ship. which has been sporadic since the
start OF the campaign week ago
breaks forth on all fronts tonight.
The battle between two of the three
remaining undefeated teams, Iowa and
Michigan at Iowa City. tops the FIVE
| game card, which will trim the list OF
unbeaten to two and possibly one.
Purdue. the only other undefeated
team which is seeking its second
straight title, will attempt to repulse an
| invasion by NorthweStern's twice beaten
team, Wisconsin will invade Chicago,
Illinois will tackle Ohio State at CO.
lumbus and Indiana will invade Mime
sofa.
Michigan's giant combination, which
upset Northwestern and Wisconsin for
| their first defeats of the season. was a
slight favorite over Iowa. The Wolver-
ines have puzzling ofense and a
strong defensive game, while Iowa,
which has almost as large a team as
Michigan, has probably one of the heav-
| lest scoring teams in the race. Iowa
will have one advantage and that Is on
its numerous capable substitutes.
Stretch" Murphy, who personally
sank Chicago this week with IL field
goals and three free throws, was the
marked man for Northwestern in the
| Purdue game. Coach Dutch" Lon
borg has decided to use a team of
6-footers to stop Murphy. Purdue,
which has won two straight conference
clashes, is strong favorite, but North
western is considered dangerous.
| The Chicago Wisconsin contest prom
ises to be a great defensive battle with
, the edge going to Wisconsin, which is
believed to be too rangy for the Ma
rooms.
Indiana, which was upset by Illinois
| Tuesday night, will attempt to stay In
the race by whipping Minnesota, an off,
| and-on-again team of great potential
| strength.
Next to the Michigan-Iowa game, the
| liveliest battle of tonight's program is
anticipated between Ohio State and
| Illinois. Both teams have been defeated
| once but flashed great power in winning
game each this week.

WOMEN In SPORT
BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

Mckinley High School sportSwomen,
despite the difficulties under which they
are working this year, have turned out
in large numbers for basket ball prac-
tice, which Is being held in the new
gymnasium. still lacking in baskets and
other equipment.
A girls cheering section, the first in
the history of Washington schools, has
been organized at Mckinley this season
and made its debut yesterday afternoon
at the boys game with Central High
School. The girls, led by Lou Toffoli,
Bernice Thomas, Esther Jolley, Ruth
Bohanon and Virginia Mothershead.
cheered their team not only by their
voice power, but by their appearance,
uniformed as they were, in the school
colors. Their official cheering costume
consists of gray sweaters or jerseys and
maroon sasheS. the latter worn dag
onally across one shoulder.
According to Jeanette Cavanaugh,
physical training director. the fair root
ers will play an important part on the
side lines of all future games at Tech,
provided that they keep up their own
enthusiasm for this new activity.
Glass squads are being organized at
Tech by the girls, although no teams
will be picked until March, when the
interclass series is scheduled. Regular
workouts are being held, with special
attention paid to the development of
teamwork and floor tactics. No goal
practice is possible, of course, but the
girls are throwing themselves into the
game with as much enthusiasm as
though they were provided with the
necessary equipment to stage real con-
tests.
Not only are baskets lacking, but al
most everything else in the way Of GYM
nasium equipment seems to be conspic-
uous by It's absence at the new school,
. which has been occupied BY students
since the opening of the Fall term. 1t
is expected confidently by school Of
ficials that the baskets at least will be
in place by March and the girls will be
able to carry out one feature OF their
annual sport program.
