The University of Michigan
basketball team will have anoth-
er rough assignment on its hands
when it meets a scrappy Purdue
five at Lafayette, Indiana, this
evening.
Coach Perigo and his squad will
attempt to snap a three game
Western Conference losing streak
which" has seen the Wolverines
drop into eighth place in the Big
Ten race.
Purdue in Cellar
Though the Boilermakers cur-
rently reside in the league cellar
with a record of only two wins in
eight contests, many people will
be surprised if the Maize and Blue
pull out of town with a victory un-
der their belts.
Ray Eddy, coach of the Purdue
quintet, is hopeful that the return
to the home floor may also bring
a return to the form displayed ear-
ly in the season when his squad
won eight of its first nine tilts. In
the past month, however, the Boil-
ermakers have dropped six out of
seven starts, two of the defeats
coming in tough overtime con-
tests.
In all probability, tonight's hosts
will stick to the same starting
lineup that has opened every game
this season: Joe Sexson and Don
Beck at the forward slots, Ted
Dunn at center, and Dan Thorn-
burg and Dennis Blind at the
guards.
Sexson Averages 17.8
Sexson is currently setting the
Purdue scoring pace with an av-
erage of 17.8 points per game,,
while all of the other starters, with
the exception of Dunn, who has
dropped to a 9.2 average, have
been hitting in double figures.
Michigan will go with the same
starting five which came within

Fisticuffs and wild, explosive
