X)al, No. 44 Varsity, Cub Quintets Meet Pitt As Part of Sports Carnival Here Captain Mike llamas To Play Last Tilt for Lions Tomorrow FINALE OF YEAR FOR BOTH FIVES Geared to a high pitch of anticipa tiol, awaiting battle with on eager ness that bespeaks "Revenge." the l'enn State basketball team is all set and rarin' to go as FOOll as the referee gives the signal that will send the Lions MP) battle against an aggrega tion of Pitt court stars on the local hardwoods tomorrow night at sere" o'clock. In addition to being the finale of the season for both teaum, the game will mark the passing of Captain Mike llamas, ever-threatening for ward luminary. from the ranks of Penn State basketball competition. Ever since his appearance on the Blue and White floor team, Mike has prov ed one of the game's sillier stars, con stantly looming as a menace to op posing teams because of his incom parable "dead-eye." Pitt Rules Favorite Coach Hermann, Captain Mike and the entire Nittany cage squad have by no mea•.ts forgotten the 33-27 set back banded out by the Panthers when the Lions made a visit to Pittsburgh two weeks ago. In fact. it is that stimulus that makes the home play em actually shout "BLOOD" when ever the name of Pitt is mentioned. If there ever was a "grudge" ill:At tie, it will be the basketball game to morrow night. It could well be term ed "The court battle of the century." But the Nitany team will have to be decidedly "on" if they hope to achieve their goal, a win over the Pitt team, for the Panthers have bent rated with the leading quintets of the country by virtue of descisions over Washing ton and Jefferson, Carnegie Tech, West Virginia, Michigan State, Michi gan and Syracuse. Penn State's forward Iran of Ila nias. Roepke and Reilly will again Mart the game and it appears likely that Coach Ilermann will select Whitey VonNieda and George Delp from his wealth of veteran guard ma terial to answer the opening call.
