HUC Wins Three
League Contests
The HUC , cagers chalked up their
third, fourth and fifth league wins by
rolling over Pottsville, Swarthmore,
and Dubois Undergraduate Centers.
All three contests were won by com
fortable margins.
HUC•6S SUC-52
With Statz Lagonosky leading the
way with sixteen points the HUC five
continued their domination over the
Potters for the fifth consecutive sea
son. Although both teams played
good ball, HUC led all the way. Pete
Garber and Tom 'Shuptar combined
to score twenty points for the home
team while Derr with eighteen, and
Burnstein and Fisher with twenty
five between them led the lower
enders' offensive. Derr, clever and
lanky visiting centerman, threw in
some of the most sensational shots
seen here all year. Score by quarters:
HUC 19 30) 48 65'
SUC 7 25 39 52
HUC-80 SJC-35
With Captain John Riley sinking
12 field goals to total 24 points the
HUCsters smothered Penn State's
newest center, Swarthmore, 80-35.
Swish Talerovich broke into the high
point column with a brilliant total of
13 points also matched by Pete
Garber. Laganosky and Riordan split
the cords for a total of 18 points to
give Hazleton a five man offensive.
The locals weren't to be stopped as
the reserves continued to pour it on
after they took over.
Wallace, Allan, Bland and Meisel
spearheaded the impotent Swarth
more attack. Led by Wallace the
home team managed. to score 16
points in the third quarter. Score by
a uarters :
HUC 17 31 52 80
.SJC 4 11 27 35
HUC-59 DUC-38
By knocking off the DUCsters for
the second time this season the HUC
quintet gained revenge for two de
feats administered by Dubois last
year, Hazleton started off slowly and
held only a 4 point lead at the half.
In the second half the locals almost
doubled the visitors' point total, 36-
19. The game was featured by bad
passing and poor shooting on the
part of both clubs. Garber, Riley,
Munroe, Lagonosky and Hutnyan
scored the bulk of the HUCsters'
points while Keenan of the visitors
was high man for the evening with
14 points. Kokoska and B. Wood
ring also played good ball for Du
bois. Score by quarters:
ERIC 11 23 28 59
WC' 11 19 27 38
He slept 'beneath the moon,
He basked beneath the sun;
He lived a life of going -to-do,
And died with nothing done.

The HUC win over DUC wasn't
anything to get delirious over. The
HUCsters managed to roll up a huge
score while :playing their worst game
of the season. Both teams showed a
very ragged passing attack and both
teams missed many shots. After
eight minutes of the first quarter had
gone by the scoreboard showed a
combined total of nine points. It
was a good game for the HUCsters
to get out of their system.
JOHN HUTNYAN managed to
score eight points even though he
played only the last three minutes
against Dubois. That helps to explain
why a game that had been close up
until the final minutes turned into
a rout. •
Team members were highly im
pressed with the setup at Swarth
more Junior College. Even so, the
boys were rude to their hosts as the
80-35 score indicates.

Between the large crowd and the
large score (in favor •of the HUC
sters) the night of the York game
was a happy one for everyone con
cerned except the visitors. The fans
were relieved when timber-topper
RUSS SNYDER left the game on
personals in the third quarter. BOCK

of the night arguing with the offi
cials.
