The Brookland squad is suffer- ing from scarcity of members, while the Hoya outfit is bothered by a sched- ude mix-up. The C. U. squad, which is to open its season Thursday night against the Temple boxers at Brook- land, has been reduced from 25 to 12 members, due, according to Coach Ted Mitchell, to the desertion of men dis- gruntled because they did not achieve first-team recognition. Georgetown expected to start its campaign wgainst Penn State at State College Saturday, but now the Nittany Lions say they have no date with the Hoyas.

Fort Wayne, 34; Brookiyn, PURDUE GETS LEAD AS HOOSIERS LOSE Michigan Licks Indiana as Boilermakers Idle in Western Loop. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 21.—With- out even having gone through the motions of playing a basket ball game Purdue today found itself in sole possession of first place in the Western Conference hardwood race. The Boilermakers, today the only un- defeated team in the Big Nine, were handed the undisputed lead last night when Michigan, showing a flash of the form predicted before the season started, overwhelmed Indiana, 45 to 26, at Ann Arbor. It was Indiana’s first defeat, and gave the Wolverines an even break in four games. Wisconsin moved into second place by defeating Chicago, 33 to 23, at Mad- ison. The Badgers, with Capt. Bud Fos- ter enginecring their attack, had little trouble with the crippled Maroons, and brought their ‘record to three victorics and one defeat. Foster went into the individual scor- ing lcadership, his 10 points boosting his total to 41 markers in four games, 1o move him ahead of Rut Walter, North- western’s captain and center. The battle royal of the week's sched- ule promises to occur at Bloomington, Ind., Thursday night when Wisconsin meets Indiana on the Ilatter's court. Wisconsin’s offense functioned smoothly last night, and her defense, with the ex- ception of two intervals, was far more than Chicago could handle. ‘Wolverines Improve, Michigan displayed an almost com- | plete reversal of the form that per- mitted Purdue and Indiana to score victories. With Bill Orwig, Joe Trus- kowsi and Tharel Kanits collecting 35 points among them, completely out- classes the Hoosiers, who previously had not dropped a conference game. The ‘Wolverines stopped Branch McCracken, Zeller and Veller, Indiana’s scoring | aces, with only Strickland being able to cscape their vigilance. Strickland scored | nine of the Hoosier points via four field goals and a free throw. Northwestern may present a greatly eltered line-up when it meets Chicago Saturday night. Coach Dutch Lon- berg's most radical shift leaves Capt. Rut Walter out of the line-up. Al- though he finished last week as the high scorer.of the I2ague, Walter's - ing and floorwork has not .satisfied the Northwestern instructer, and Rus Berghern will move to center if the change becomcs effective, Ohio State also has been forced ‘to make a change because of an injury to ivans, regular forward. Coach Harold hison has been using Condon at the osition and probably will start him sgainst Minnesota in Saturday night's battle. WHEATLEY SEXTET WINS. Phyllis Wheetley Y. W.

The problem of handling the crowds has become so troublesome that Annapolis athletic authorities have decided to institute a ticket system for all the rest of the dual meets on the Navy schedule this vear, a Navy official said last night. This does not mean that it will be possible to buy tickets to future Navy ring meets, for the Academy can- not charge admission to athletic events on the Annapolis reservation. However, it does mean that the ordinary fan will have to send in his application well in advance, if he is to have much hope of getting into McDonough Hall on the occasion of boxing meets.
