HOOSier Elves
Play Tonight
Indiana Tackles Wildcats,
Purdue Host to Iowa
in Big Ten Tits.
BY WINTHROP LYMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-Indiana S
two great guards, Vernon Huffman
and Wendell Walker, will be called
upon tonight to stop Northwestern S
scoring spree.
If they succeed the Hoosiers
should earn at least a tie for the
Big Ten basketball championship.
The game will be played at Evans
ton and will feature the conference
program Other games: Iowa at
Purdue, Chicago at Wisconsin and
Illinois at Ohio State.
Largely through the efforts of
Huffman and Walker, Indiana has
the best defensive record in the
conference, holding opponents to an
average Of 81 points a game.
Three Sharpshooters
NorthWes tern, after an uncertain
start, has developed three sharp
shooters in McMichaels and Tren-
kle, forwards, and Smith, center. Be-
tween them they have scored 900
points in nine conference games. All
three are e ective from lon grange,
making them unusually hard to
stop. McMichaels went wild against
Wisconsin last Monday, getting nine
baskets and one free throw.
Purdue, tied for first with Indiana
with nine victories and one defeat,
should be able to take Iowa easily
at Lafayette. When they played at
Iowa City, the Boilermakers won by
only one point.
Northwestern is the only team
that has beaten Purdue in confer
ence competition, a fact which has
installed the wildcats as an even bet
to upset Indiana tonight.
Haarivw After Kessler
Ohio State handed Indiana its
lone defeat and the two teams will
play return engagement at Bloom
ington Monday.
The Buckeyes have visions of
moving back into the first division
at the expense. of Illinois tonight.
Should they win they will be tied
with the Illini with DISK. victories and
five defeats each.
Chief interest in the Wisconsin,
Chicago game will be conferred
around Bill HARLOW, the Maroon
captain He will attempt to catch
UP with Bib Kessler of Purdue in
the individual scoring race.

The visitor uncorked a stiff

into Lees face throughout the con-
test. 1t seemed that every time the
little local mauler started in for a
punch furry he ran smack into an
unavoidable left glove. Thompson
brought across several strong right
hand clubbers in the late rounds,
too, but they were not enough to
make up for Lees aggressiveness
and the potency of the latter's blows
on the occasions that he did con-
meet.
