Hipskind, William H. 1909-11 Lettered at IU in Basketball

A special from Bloomington to the Indianapolis News contains the good news that Dean Barnhart of this city, one of the old stars on the famous R.A.A. basket ball team of Rochester, played a star game with Indiana university against the Wisconsin team. It says: "Indiana university's basket ball five defeated the University of Wisconsin quintet Saturday night, 13 to 11. The contest was one of the best ever seen on the local floor, being hard fought and close throughout. The first half ended with the score 8 to 6 in favor of the Crimson. Both teams played a vicious, close guarding game and little scoring was done. In the second half each team scored five points. Wisconsin was somewhat worn out after a hard game with Chicago on Friday night, but did not send in any substitutes until near the end of the second half. Captain Barnhart starred for the Crimson, scoring three brilliant field goals and a trio of foul baskets. Mongel, at center, was in poor condition, and Hipskind, the diminutive forward, was unable to do anything against the big fellow who guarded him. Indiana's team work counted for naught and it was Barnhart's brilliant work, coupled with excellent guarding by Davis and Graves, that won for the Crimson."
