ever, is enough to make a guard think he is shooting with any one of a half-dozen
hands, If Clawson guards him tonight, Bill will sive up much weight, And Clawson
by the way, was Northwestern's high-point man in that 46-to-40 loss to Ohio State,

Illinois was the only home team that lost Saturday nicht, This was a game
of fouls, too, and Indiana was penalized twenty-two times, Illinois, sixteen,---
Zimmer and Armstrong had three versonals each after seven mimtes, A minute later
Sachs, of Illinois, had three. Indiana's reserve strength was much superior to
Tllinois's,

Piggy Lambert used seven little Piggies to defeat Michigan's Mandler and Co.
This was a 41-to-40 affair, tied at the half at 18 points, In the end each team
had sixteen field goals, Don Blanken being a point ahead of Mandler with three
buckets and eight free ones, Mandler hit six times from the field, They called
sixteen personals on Michigan, twelve on Purdue. Sofiak and Brogan with 4 field
goals each were Mandler's first assistants,

Tonight Pigey's Boys are up in Wisconsin, The Badgers broke Iowa's  seven-
game streak with a 49-to-35 triumph in Madison. A young man named Englund, labd-
ed a threat long before the season started, lived up to press notices. He seored
eight times from the field and twice from the foul line, He also fouled out of
the game, which undoubtedly held down his offense to some extent. He may have
been guarded a little closer than Menke was in Champaign, too. Menke was fouled
only twice, Aman who scores as much as Bill did isn't too carefully guarded, but
to keep him from hitting it may be necessary to foul him when he's shooting and
he's worse than Menke business at the free throw line,

Purdue scoring is scattered all around, and it will be more so as the season
progresses, Forrest Sprowl got four buckets; Igney, three; Blanken, three; Blem-
ker, three; Caress, two; and Hoffman, one in the Michigan game, Over at Illinois
they said Purdue couldn't stand. the second-half pace set by the Millsmen, so it
may be that Pigey hasn't been bearing down too mch too early. Now that Wiscon-
sin has created a stir by defeating Iowa, tonight's game becomes more important,
