Northwestern, rated as the strongest basketball aggregation in the Western Conference, plays host to the Maize and Blue at Evanston, and while as yet untried in Big Ten competition, the Wildcats are sure to put up a battle which will force Coach Veenker's quintet to show its smartest game.

Before the season opened, Purdue a n d Northwest- ern were lookedI upon as the out- ALTENHOF standing teams in the Big Ten, with Michigan rated as a "dark horse" along with Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, but since the Michigan- Purdue game the Wolves are ac- corded a place within the first three Conference teams. The outcome of the game toriight will-probably go far in determin- ing the final outcome of the 1931 title race, since the all-around strength of the Conference teams shows that t h ef team which wins t h e champion- ship will h a v e mighty few games in the lost column. At pres- ent it looks as though the Wol- ves and the 'Cats are the class of the Big Ten, and with such being the case, the wine- DANIELS ner tonight willf have a decided jump on itsioppon- ent. With this prospect in view, both teams are sure to show every- thing they have since a loss may mean the loss of -the= cage laurels. Coach Dutch Lonborg's outfit has a record' to date which is the equal. of Michigan's in every way, in- cluding wins over all its pre-sea- son opponents by top-heavy scores. His stars are real luminaries, a n d will have to be watched e y e r y t :miinute of the game.

Maroons Strong. The Maroon five, who have been .onsistently poor for the past several seasons, will be seen at. Bloomington tonight in an effort to. upset a strong Hoosier quintet. Chicago has lost but one pre-season encounter and may turn the tables on the Indiana basketeers who have usually had an easy time of it when opposing the Midway team. The chief claim to a strong aggre- gation of players that the Maroons hold is the fact that they have been victorious over MarQ,.ette, who in turn has beaten Wisconsin, the conquerors of Illinois. ' The battle between Illinois and Purdue is certain to bring out some of the fiercest fighting to be seen dn the Conferenc o ,our'ts this sea- son, as both teams have already lost one ga'me an,-d tie loser of to- night's fray will be dropped from the list of title contenders. With Johnny Wooden, by far the out- standing member of the Boiler- maker quintet, fully recovered from his injuries, the champions should hold the edge over the Indians. Wooden has been all-Conference guard for the past two seasons and holds the position of co-captain of his team. Gophers Meet Iowa. The Minnesota fans are watch-' ing the contest with Iowa to verify reports thatethe Gopher quintet is the best they have had in many seasons.
