By AL EISENBERG 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 'WV? ~ ' By CORKY SMITH Coach Don Canham's trackmen cels in the sprint races.

Athletic Director Dick Lar- kins said the action was taken upon advice of the university's medical staff. Larkins said Freeman had been weakened by recurrent colds, and an ag- gravated ankle injury and that his condition "is such that it was deemed inadvisable to per- mit him to play in the remain- ing games of this season." Ohio plays Wisconsin at Madison, Wis., Saturday night. Freeman, a Junior, has scor- ed 409 points in 16 games this year and 167 in the Big Ten race. stage was set for the wild third period when defenseman John Po- lomsky snuck in a shot with both teams down one man and only seven seconds remaining in the stanza. Fisticuffs and wild, explosive scoring marked the thirdperiod. Before 10:17 the Wolverines were clinging desperately to a one point lead. At the 10:39 mark, Michigan was ahead 6-3 via light- ning-fast scores by Rendall and MacFarland. The final minutes of play weri marked by the addition by each team of singlc markers and lost tempers. sIPOIITFs a Neither squad was particularly impressive.
