in the Big Ten, the Indiana univer-
p sity warriors went out Saturday and
lived up to advance notices, much
to the chagrin and embarrassment
of the highly-publicized Ohio State
eleven. The HooSierS fell short of
winning, but the tie upset the dope

MINNEAPOLIS baseball fans are
Iva not backward about placing
q much of the blame for the little
world series defeat on two veteran
