Attorney General David T. Wilent7

Because these nails were inserted

was perfectly parallel to the adjoining

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 3l.-Ths
prestige of Eastern basketball had
gone up several notches to a new
high today. following Purdues sec
ond straight defeat in that section.
A 54-to-39 victory by the Temple
Owls here last night followed close
on the heels of New York Univer-
SityS 1871 triumph Saturday.
Because Purdue has been Mid
western basketball leader since the
World War. and because it now IS
co-champion of the Big Ten New
York sports writer's and critics felt
today that the East was dominating
the cage game for the first time in
history.
The upset last night provided
thrills for 5000 fans as a husky
Temple squad completely outclassed
the Boilermakers, Except for a few
minutes in the second half. the
Hoosiers' ball-handling was loose
and their fleld-goal shooting was
far off form.

who made seven field goals, was the
Spearhead Of the victors' attack. The

light workouts scheduled for this
afternoon separated the Texas

One other hazard presented itself
before the game, and that is New

Moore announced he would keep his
team in Baton Rouge tonight as he
feared the din in New Orleans as
jubilant citizens ushered in the New
Year would be too much for his
players.
Coach Meyer said he would hole
