In the Purdue gymnasium, not far from this river, the headline bill of the week and possibly of the season will be played tomorrow night. It is the game between Purdue and Indiana. Any sporting event between these schools meaps spirited competition, but with both struggling for the Big Ten championship a battle royal is antici- ated. Indiana, led by the scoring ace of the conference, Branch McCracken, met its one defeat at the hands of Michigan. If Indiana turns the tables on the she will head the parade with four victories and one defeat.

It was the most exciting series I ever saw. There were long shots that pulled the people out of their seats. The games were hard to lose and great to win, both teams playing amazingly fine basket ball. K. Schlademen is in his second year at Washington State College, succeed- ing Fred Bohler, athletic director, who found it too much to continue actual coaching. Washington State will be heard from this season. A new gym- nasium, about completed, will be a great boost for basket ball at that instituiion. Bob Hager, at Oregon State College, also a veteran coach, won the northern section championship in 1925, then lost the coast championship to the Univer- sity of California at Corvallis, Oreg.

A silver challenge cup was presented to the basket ball team by Mrs. Abbie Green Flynn, director of Georgetown, and a pennant of red and white was awarded the dodge ball group. Rebecca Heffner, captain, and Jenny Torreyson, manager, of the basket ball s?uld. accepted the trophies on behalf of the school. Mrs. Mary Ossire, principal, presided. Girls of either junior or senlor age who live in the vicinity of Woodridge are invited to join the new Woodridge Athletic Club, of which Edith White is chairman. Basket ball, tennis' and other sports are listed on the program to be car- ried out by the group. Practice in the tossing game already has begun under the direction of three able coaches. Applications for membership should be made through Miss White at Lin- m;ln, 9544-J, after 6 o'clock any eve- ning. Heloise Beebe of Baltimore, 1927 Vir- ginia State teams champion, and semi- finalist at the District nets in the same year, is reported to be recovering from the serfous illness which prevented her defending her laurels at Norfolk Jast June and has kept her confined in a hospital for several months. Word has just been received that Miss Beebe. who has long been a fav- orite with local and Oriole tennis en- thusiasts, has gained sufficient strength to return to her home, although it is| doubtful whether she will be able to resume her net play for some time. Miss Beebe's withdrawal from tennis | can ski slides and member of the 1923 | circles this past season cost her a high rating in the Middle Atlantic section where she has been near the head of the lists for a number of years. She vlays a strong, hard-hitting game, and has the distinction of having been given valuable pointers at the beginning of her career by Suzanne Lenglen's father, whose early tutelage gave his daughter the foundation of the game which made her the eutstanding figure in the feminine net world.

Has Its Good Point. ‘While no other game can have the glamour of one with the Army, it is likely that the substitution of Princeton will give the Navy the opportunity of securing a better standing, from the purely athletic standpoint, in college foot ball. Lacrosse and basket ball are not likely to suffer through the absence of a game with the Army, In these sports, particularly the former, the Navy gen- erally is well represented, and it has frequently won the college leadership in the former. There will be plentz of anuorghy opponents to meet in Base ball and fleld and track will miss the matches with the Military Academy more than any other sports. The teams of neither service school rank with the best in these lines, and the final clash with each other was the spur for the whole season.
