Hurrying to keep up with his eleven-man squad the Hoosier coach, Branch McCracken, announced, "We're in top shape for the game and are expecting a tough one."

"Any team that whips the competition K.U. has been thru has plenty of what it takes."

He ordered his squad to rest but scheduled a workout tonight at the Municipal Auditorium.

The Hoosiers finished second to Purdue in the Big Ten Conference race and then won the Eastern N.C.A.A. title. Kansas tied with Missouri and Oklahoma for the Big Six Conference championship and won the Western N.C.A.A. title.

The Hoosiers appeared to be without a care in the world as they went thru their practice session. They roated up and down the court, show with abandon and came back to shoot again.

Advance billing named the Indiana team as the fastest thing on ten legs and this speed is the basis of judgment for those who are picking the Marry Macs to win.

Four hundred "standing room only" tickets will go on sale at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
