Fast Start
in Big Ten
Indiana and Purdue Both
Win: Resume Title
Play Tonight.

Off to flying start in the western
conference basketball race, Indiana
and Purdue university fives will find
themselves pitted against topnotch
opposition in tonight's games
against Ohio State and Illinois re-
spectively.
Purdue was entirely too speedy
for Minnesota at Lafayette Saturday
night and outscored the Gophers,
$3.50, while Kehrt fired with deadly
accuracy at the hoop at Blooming
ton to aid Indiana in downing the
Michigan team, 29-18.
Illinois, which plays Purdue at
Lafayette tonight, scored big upset
when it tumbled Wisconsin 20-17,
Saturday, and Ohio State showed
power in downing Chicago, 1882,
which makes tonight's games at
Lafayette and Bloomington loom up
as tough tussles.
Michigan looked as if it might
make it a real ball game as it held
Coach Everett Deans boys even in
the early stages of the game at
Bloomington Saturday, but once
Willard Kehrt got his eye on the
hoop, the Crimson stepped OUT
never to be headed.
Kehrt scored five times from the
field and three times from the free
throw line, while Stout, Huffman
and Weir each connected for two
field goals
Purdue was just too fast and
smart for Minnesota and after
speeding out to a Pip lead at half
time the Boilermakers slowed down
and worked the ball under the hoop,
where their three "dead-eye" shoot
ers, Cotton, Lowery and Fehring
could not miss.
Cotton scored five field and three
free throws for thirteen points
while Lowery and Fehring each
scored three field buckets, and
Lowery also made trio of free
throws.

may be held, but it was too much
for me.
They've got the game down to
an exact science now" added Mr..
Meany.
To me this explains why Profess
Sor Einstein went to Princeton. He's
going to try out for the varsity five.
But there is still much about bas-
ketball that I can appreciate, even
if the most important element in
the game today is the stop-watch.
Taking it fore and aft, it is prob
ably the fastest and most dexterious
game of all. In no other game is
such a high premium placed on
footWork and hand work. both as
to speed and manipulation.
And naturally the various rule
changes, designed to open up the
play and emphasize teamwork, have
brought a new and interesting
strategy to the game. Some of the
stratagems are as involved and in
tricate as any the Rockne magma
ton ever conceived for his foot
ballerS.

|. L. Changes Plan; Flag
Winner Determined
During Race.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The Inter-
national League will continue the
Shaughnessy play-off system during
the 1884 season. but drastically
modified. The leagues annual meet
ing here voted for this plan yester-
day, 7 to l.
The club which finishes the COM
ing season, reduced from 1865 to 154
games, at the top of the standing
will be recognized as pennant
winner and entitled to various
financial wards.
At the end of the season, the
first four clubs will participate in
a play-off series to determine which
will meet the American Association
winner in the little world series.
First and third-place clubs, and
second and fourth-place clubs will
meet, with the winners opposed in
the final play-off.
Newark Strong Director
Last season, when the Shaugh-
messy system was inaugurated, both
the pennant winner and little world
series participant were decided by
the play-offs. The league was di-
vided into northern and southern
divisions, and the two first-place
and Second-place clubs played each
other, with the winners meeting in
the final.
Newark was a strong objector and
dissenting voter at the meeting
yesterday because the Bears fin
ished the 1888 season thirteen games
ahead of their nearest rival, yet
failed to win the pennant because
they lost out in the play-offs.
Pennant Winners Share
Players on the 1884 pennant win
ming team will divide 10 per cent of
receipts of all play-of games, twice
as much as last year. In addition,
if the pennant winner is eliminated
in the play-offs, owners of the club
will receive money from the little
world series and from the play-offs.
The league adopted the uniform
ball recently agreed upon by the
major leagues. The season will
start April 18 and close Sept. 9.

CHICAGO. Jan. 9.-The second
games on the Big Ten basketball
schedule will be played tonight with
the ranks of the undefeated certain
to be trimmed TO three teams, and
possibly to two.
In the opening games Saturday
night, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, In
diana and Ohio State came through
victorious. Two Of that group must
fall tonight. while there is a chance
that a third may be toppled.
Tonight's schedule:
Illinois at Purdue
Ohio State at Indiana.
Wisconsin at Iowa.
Chicago at Michigan.
Minnesota at Northwestern.
The feature games bring together
Illinois and Purdue at Lafayette.
and Ohio State and Indiana at
Bloomington. The winners of those
two games will draw out in front
with unbeaten records. Iowa can
also keep pace with the undefeated
leaders by downing Wisconsin.
OF the five favoriteS in the OPEN
ing games, only Wisconsin lost after
a tough battle with Illinois. Wis
consin, which had won six out of
its seven practice games, crumpled
before Illinois stout defense. 20 to
II. The victory marked Illinois as
a dangerous contender despite the
loss Of Jack Beynon, regular guard,
on the eve of the game. Beynon
aggravated a football injury and
may be lost to the team for the rest
of the season.
Norman Cotton, Purdue forward,
and Willard Kehrt, Indiana for
ward, jumped into an early lead in
conference scoring, with thirteen
points each.
The largest crowd of the opening
game was the nine thousand capa-
