Pittsburgh Traditional Rivalry Penn State, one of the nation's top-ranked teams and a contender for a post-season bowl berth, takes a 9 - 0 record into the game. Pitt is 3 - 6 so far this season.

Top Teams Win In Intramurals by Tony Alo Asst. Sports Editor Intramural basketball is now in full swing after two weeks of rugged Tuesday and Thursday night action. The powerhouses of the dorm and commuter leagues are beginning to show their muscles even at the point. The fabulous Behrend Cow Palace (better known as Erie Hall) was the scene of some great commuter league games last Tuesday. night which saw two of the top teams post victories. In the lid-lifter at 6:30, the Turkish Chuggers staggered out on the court and burped their way to a 25-17 victory over the Hatchet Men. The Chuggers "threw up" their usual terrific defense which involves breathing on the other team's man and grabbing the ball when he passes out. Tim Everett and Chuck Wilcox led the TC's scoring parade as they ran their record to 2-0. The fantastic faculty continued their fine(?) season in the next game as they dropped their second in a row. If the faculty would be permitted to wear oxygen tanks during the game and be given a time out every 30 seconds it would make their games more interesting. The 8:00 contest was the highlight of the evening. It pit the November 19, 1971 super hot-dogs of intramural basketball, the Bud Brigade, against Daffy's Dunkers. The game was a little difficult for the spectators to view, however, because of the blinding light coming from all the bright stars in the Bud T-shirts. Some of the fans also had trouble con centrating on the action because they had to sit near "Daffy" Shroeder, the Dunker's player coach, yelling "go team go" and cracking his usual "funny" jokes. The contest was also delayed for a few minutes while one of the referees had to be pulled out of the basket. It seems that he got a little too close to the action. All kidding aside, though, it was a great game as Daffy's Dunkers played some hustling scrappy basketball almost and pulled off an upset. However, the Brigade's superior height and strength and some hot shooting in the closing minutes gave them the 37-28 victory. Mike Hook led the winners with 10 points while Gary Phelps; and Jeff Kline each and 10 for the Dunkers. It looks like the Bud Brigade is the class of both leagues and everyone knows the talent they have. But there are a lot of good ball players on the other teams and anything can happen in basketball. A hot shooter or a hustling defense can quickly turn a game around. Daffy's Dunkers proved that Tuesday night as they almost made losers of the mighty Bud Brigade. /,-- , • INAtvi - 93ebietes Pizzeria..
