FRESMEN ArEH TEAMS -IN ACTION Big Ten Cagers to Have Games Tonight as Race Nears Fourth Round. Topped by the struggle between Noythwestern a n d Michigan at Evanston, the Big Ten basketball race enters the fourth round to- night when eight of the conference teams engage in competition. Only Purdue and Illinois are idle, Pur- due having clsed their basketball schedule until after the examina- tions when they open again against Ohio State on February 8. After tonight's games, there will be two, and possibly only one, un- defeated team left in the race. Northwestern and Michigan will decide -which one will be considered the logical contender along with Purdue after tonight, and Ohio State will attempt to maintain its clean slate against Iowa. The battle between the Buckeyes and the Hawkeyes will be the sec- ond contest between the teams in seven days. It was just a week ago tonight that the Ohioans managed to stave off a.last half rush by the Iowa sophomores to win, 10 to 17. Tonight the Ohio quintet will be playing on an unfamiliar floor as this is the first invasion that the Buckeyes have made to the Iowa field house in three years. Coach Rollie Williams in depending on Moffitt, high .scoring sophomore forward, and Koltow and Rodgers to erase the stigma of the three point defeat. With the additional experience of the Northwestern game last Monday, the Hawkeyes should give their rivals a great bat- tle. At Minneapolis, the Gopher quin- tet will entertain Indiana in the first of four home games before they have to invade foreign terri- tory. The Hoosier five is virtually out of the conference race as a re- sult of their three defeats, and will probably not give. Coach MacMil- lan's charges a great deal of trouble Brad Robinson, out of the Michi- gan game due to illness, is due to get into the game tonight, and with Wright and Sochacki, will present a high scoring threat. The rugged defense of the Indiana five will cause the Gophers a lot of trouble, but the vengeful mood they are in since the Michigan game, should carry them to victory. Wisconsin will meet Chicago in the Windy City in the final confer- ence battle. The Maroons have not given much concern to any of the opponents they have met so far and Coach Meanwell's five should win quite easily. aj First by Regular Scrimmage Won Ft st Y
