They're still trying to piece the Big
Ten jigsaw puzzle together, but as the
cagers near the half way mark it's a
mad jurnble witn little rhyme and less
reascn.
Northwestern, half of its 12-game
schedule completed, nestles securelyI
in the top spot-five games won, one
lost. Purdue, with only four games
played, is second at three and one,
while Michigan holds third position-,
four won, two lost. Wisconsin, the
outside team, has won three, lost two.
Unless the Conference hits a new
height in unorthodoxy, Northwestern,
Purdue ,and Michigan should battle
it out for titular honors. But it's a
long and tough trail, one rife with
obstacles and primed for upsets.
The Wildcats, surprise team of the
loop, have six repeat engagements to
play-none of them softies in any
sense of the word. Wisconsin, In-
diana, Iowa, Ohio State, Purdue, and
Michigan will play host or guest to
the Evanston gang next semester and
these six games, especially the latter
two, ought to be entertaining gather-
ings.
Purdue, apparently gaining predict-
ed momentum after a surprise Illinois
defeat, has little to cheer about in
the way of opposition. They meet
Illinois, Wisconsin, Chicago, and
Northwestern in single games, Ohio
State and Indiana in doubles. Coach
Piggy Lambert's bench antics should
reach a crescendo, but he'll be a happy
lad if his progeny can get through
with only one-or possibly t/o-
