Tech Team, 40-27
A five-year dream of thousands of
Penn State sports followers came true
in the shadowy recesses of the Pitt
gymnasium Saturday night.
Fighting as if implied, an enraged
Lion court team, stung by its humil
iating 40-to-27 defeat at the hands of
Carnegie Tech the night previous,
tinned on the Pantheis in their lair
and came from behind to claw out an
astounding 40-to-30 tuumph for the
first cage victory mer Pitt since 1027.
As if to make a perfect night com-
I plete, the swan songs of too seniors
playing then last games for Penn
State became paens of victory. Cap
tain noddy Brand and Wildcat Bub
Dross w ithout a doubt turned in the
greatest games of their erneeis to
give the tale of battle a Blue and
White tinge when hopes were lowest.
Coming into the game late in the
first half with the Lions behind by a
13-to-7 count, the diminutive blonde
foiwaid sent State's rooters into an
uproar by hanging up three field goals
and four fouls in the waning minutes
of the period to give his team an in
spiring 20-to-17 athantage at the half.
Then, as the second half began and
the determined Panthers crept up to
within one point of the Lions, Captain
Brand stepped into the hero rola by
sinking too field goals and a foul.

Before the trot quarter was well
