Hail the Champions!

Winners of Purdue’s third Confer-
ence Championship during the last
five years. Boilermaker fans and lov-
ers of the great indoor sport every-
where are exceedingly proud of Pur-
due’s brilliant 1934 team.

Seldom has a team been as well
balanced as this season’s champions.
Norman Cottom, who won the Con-
ference individual scoring honors,
teamed with the veteran Eddy, who is
recognized as the greatest floor work-
er and passer in the circuit. Eddy
was named honorary captain by his
teammates at the close of the season.
“Dutch” Fehring, one of the most
versatile athletes in Purdue’s history,
who will be seeking his ninth major
letter this spring in baseball, lived up
to his great reputation at center .
outjumping many opponents who were
considerably taller than he. Emmett
Lowery was practically an unanimous
choice for all-Conference honors at
floor guard, and was second only to
Cottom in season’s baskets scored.

no equal defensively and was a bril-

On the squad were many very cap-
able relief men, including George

Low defensive record.

Permanent ownership of the Aller-
ton trophy.

High individual scoring record—in
addition to the Big Ten Champion-
ship.

Truly a great team—a product of
the capable efforts of a great coach
