I dentally, the Murphy championship
of the midwest will be settled with
Loyola and Purdue clash at Lafay-
cite, Jan. 81.
NNARIONs dislike for Kokomo
1V1 has been greatly increased by
the disappearance Of the Giants
victory flag during the battle with
the Wildcats at Kokomo last Sat
urday. Judging from a Marion
writer's story, the Giant fans feel
worse about losing the banner than
they did over dropping the game.

II. g. warren. the minlitable South Bend
scribe. turns humorist in picking his week
ly Big Ten His latest attempt is most
weakly. PIP names Washington. Ander-
son, Martinsville. Frankfort. Horace Mann,
jeff of Lafayette, Columbus, Muncie. Del
phi and Vincennes. jeff defeated another
second team, and they're in sixth place.
Connersyille. who held Columbus to a two
point overtime win: Logansport. whose
second team has been defeated a couple
Of times, and Tech. who held Martinsville,
his third place team. to a one point win
held his fourth place team. Frankfort,
to four point margin. aren't even men
toned. Funny thing is. some people will
believe him.
Washington scribe is the authority
for the statement that Lawhead of Frank
fort is better basketball player than
Suddish of MartinsviIle, and that Engle-
hart of Washington has it all over either
of them. That has the ear marks of
wise crack. There isn't a more polished
player in the state than Suddith, and
none SO valuable to Ibis team.

This same Washington writer. speaking
of the Vincennes team which won thirty
two games few years ago and then lost
early in the state tourney. says: Wen
venture that you remember who won those
thirty-two games and you don't know who
won the state tourney that season."

Meaning, evidently, that Washing
ton fans won't cry over split milk if
the Hatchets win the remainder Of
their scheduled games and then get
knocked off in one of the elimina-
ton tournaments. Well agree with
Everett Case, Keith Crown, Tim
Campbell, Cliff Wells and some of
these "holdout" coaches, that the
best time to start q winning streak
is about the middle of February.

1t was the thirteenth game, so
Butler broke the foreign floor jinx
by soring thirteen field goals and
thirteen fouls to drop De Paw.
Central Of Evansville will play two
state champions this weekend. Heath,
Kentucky title holders, play at Evansville
Friday night, and Saturday Johnson City,
Illinois champions, invade Evansville.

DIG FOUR" tournaments hold
- an important spot in Satur'
days basketball program. Bedford,
Washington, Vincennes and Mar.
tinsvilleE will vie for honors at the
Stone City; Logansport, Muncie,
Kokomo and Frankfort at Logans-
port, and Anderson, Marion, Hart-
ford CITY and Newcastle at Ander-
son. Say. what is this, an attempt
to evade the twenty game rule? And
why weren't they spread out over a
couple of week-ends so we could
see them all?
Shades Of Sandusky! Mellot, Ind, has
population of $50. Eighteen boys are
enrolled in the high school. and all of
them are over six feet tall. Mellot is
gymless-and they've won eleven straight
| games.
Those who have seen Hide
brand and Christopher since
Monday night can hardly deny
that Butler doesn't have a fight
ing team.
