With only one minute gone in the second half and the score at 20-11, the Boilermakers put on a 14 minute stall that kept the capacity crowd of 8,500 howling for action. Illinois was handicapped by the loss of two of their regulars, Bou- |dreau and Dehner, but they played la defensive game that was difficult for Purdue to cope with. Dehner’s lead in the Big Ten individual scor-. ing race was well protected by his teammates, as they held Jewell Young, second place contender in the conference point race, to two ‘baskets and three free throws for a total of seven points. Start Stall The big stall started right after | j the second period commenced. With the score at 18-9, Dickinson and Nisbet each sunk a basket. Then Malaska got the ball:and he and Anderson proceeded to take life easy Standing just inside the center line they tossed the ball leisurely ‘back and forth or else just held it. At one point Pat lay down on the floor to rest for a few moments. Osten- sibly, the purpose of this time-wast- ing was to draw out the two tall| Illini, Lasater and Hapac, so that the shorter Purdue forwards could }. get at the basket. In the first few minutes of the game it looked like Illinois had the edge. Anderson and Young started the scoring with a basket and a free throw, respectively, but Illinois came back with a free toss by Hand- lon, and a bucket and two charities ‘by Hapac to put Illiriois ahead, 5-3.
