In light drill here today Coach
Everett Dean put the finishing
touches on his Indiana university
basketball team in preparation for
its all-important clash with Purdue
here tomorrow night.
The game not only will hold the
spotlight of all Hoosierdom's hard
wood following, but also will claim
the bulk of attention in the Big
Ten.
The stage is set for a classic bat
tie. Indiana and Purdue are tied
only with Iowa for the leadership of
the Western Conference at this
time. Each team has played nine
games and won eight of them, In
diana losing to Wabash and Pur-
due falling before Notre Dame.
The rivalry between the state
rivals has Smoldered through year
of inactivity since the round robin
system of schedule drafting en-
ployed by the Big Ten did not pit
the two teams against each other
last year.
The game will bring into the
limelight the personal rivalry of
Norman Cotton and Willard Kehrt,
stellar Purdue and Indiana for
wards, respectively, for the scoring
lead of the Big Ten. Both teams
have speedy attacks this year, and
have demonstrated their ability to
hold other teams to low scores.
