Speedy Floor Guard Scores
Fl Points as Irish
Are Beaten.
BY vERN BOXELL

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 16.-s
Johnny Wooden, Purdue's pocket
edition guard, is of to another big
year. The al-America star did
everything brC jump center here on
Monday night when the Boiler
makers inaugurated their l93o-sI
court campaign by trouncing Notre
Dame, 81 to %.
Wooden registered nine times
from the court and three times from
the gratis stripe for total of 81
points, just one less than the en-
tire Irish squad was able to total.
Johnny still is wearing a brace
on the leg injury received when he
came out on the short end of an ar
ment with a truck last fall.
Nevertheless, Wooden not only led
the victors in scoring. but his SEM
sational dribbling and one-handed
push shots from various and intri-
cate angles provided most of the
evenings fireworks.
Harry Kellar and Dick Porter. q
pair of pony forwards, teamed well
with the MartinSville flash. Bob
Stewart of Attica relieved Coach
Piggy Lambert of considerable
worry by turning in a capable per-
Torrance at center while playing
against De Cook, the vet Irish star
and captain. Sophomores Stewart
and Parmenter, the latter tower
ing back guard, should be able to
hold their own in the hottest COM
petition after a few more lessons
from Lambert. Ray Eddy, former
Columbus ace, got a chance at for
ward in the starting lineup but
couldn't get i'll the open.
Purdue shot into an early s. to
lead. Notre Dame came back To
grab a 8 to advantage midway in
the period, but the Boilermakers
came to the front again, Is to II. at
half time. Wooden dribbled down
the floor from the tip-off for two
buckets when the second half opened
and Notre Dame wilted. Line-up

ATEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The long
IN drawn-out football season is
over except for the New Years day
spectacle between Alabama and

Pasadena. 1t was a season marked
by much undergraduate badgering
and alumni squawking. In several
instap> there was open revolt.
Because a California coach. Nibs Price,

to resign. a policy which seems in keeping
with the strange sporting ideaIs of college
football.

Generally the undergraduate mind reacts
with spirited enthusiasm to any winning

great searching curiosity as to the manner

So when the young men who edit the

that the conditions are as narrowing as
they depict them, or that every student on
the campus agrees with the crusaders.

pressed in college sheets, commands
a ready and lucrative market, es-
