Indiana Five Choice to Re-

BIZ Times Special
BLOOMINGTON. Ind. Dec. 49,
Indiana's hardwood warriors open
their strenuous home campaign to-
night with Pittsburgh u, annual
contender for eastern and national
cage laurels.
With impressive triurnphs over
Miami U. and Notre Dame, the
Dean coached quintet is slight
favorite tonight over Doc Carlson's
brilliant Panthers.
Pitt comes west this year anxious
to avenge a 27-to-19 setback handed
them on their own floor by the
Hoosiers last year. Indiana was one
of the four teams to defeat the
Panthers during the 1930-31 cam
paign.
Vets in Pitt Lineup
AS usual, the Smoky City quintet
looms strong. Coach Carlson lost
Eddie Baker, Willie Arturo and Mile
Cohen from last years quintet, but
his current group contains some
promising sophomores who have
gained varsity assignments.
Tim Lawry and Tip Kowallis, vet
eran co-captains, are probably for
ward starters. Ochsenhirt, sensa-
tional sophomore star, will take care
of the tip-off berth, and McCamat,
another rookie ace, and Smith,
veteran, will guard the Panther
hoop.
Steve Kowallis and Albright are
other veterans who probably will get
into action, and Mcbride and
Hughes, from last years frosh out
fit, are making strong bids for
berths.
Four Positions Filled
Four of Indiana's positions are
filled, but the three-way battle for
the disputed forward berth still is
open. Campbell is expected to start
at one forward berth, with Dickey
at center and Suddith and zeller
at guards. Hodson, a reserve from
last year, and Weir and R. Tucker
are battling for the other forward
assignment.
After tonight's encounter here,
the Panthers will invade Lafayette
to play Purdue and tackles Butler at
indianapolis. After their Hoosier
tits, the Panthers will continue to
Los Angeles, with stop-offs at Kan
sas City and other places.
