'enn State's SeconO-Half. Rally Overcomes Army Quintet, 34-26
Baltimore Leads
Nillany Scorers
Special to The Collegian
WEST POINT, N. Y., Jan. 28—
The Army failed to "keep 'em
rolling" here this ' afternoon as a
determined Penn State basketball
team smothered the Cadets under
a second-half barrage to Win a
close, up-hill battle, 34-26.
Trailing by a 16-13 . count at
halftime, the visiting Nittany
Lions forged ahead on two succes
sive field tosses by Bob Ramin
early in the final half. From
then on, ;the Lions welt , never
headed, although the advantage
dwindled to within three points
midway in the closing half.
Herk Baltimore, Penn State pi
vot ace, again , proved to be a con
sistent scorer as he paced the Nit
.tany offense with a total of nine
points, .which were 6rnered on
four field goals and a successful
foul toss.
• Army's stiarp-Shooting left
.for
ward, Philpott, carried eiway top
honors for the afternoon, however,
:as he registered more than half
of the Cadets' points. Philpott
'tallied six two-pointers and a pair
,of free throws from the foul line
to take. the scoring laurels with 14
markers.
FolloWing the collapse of their
offense• in the second half, Army
wholesale substitutions in
an effort to ,overcome the flaw .in
their attack. The
,Nittany stride
could not be halted, however, and
Conch "John Lawther's quintet de
cisively out pointed the home
team, 21-10 in the second half of
-play
Similar to 'the Pitt-Penn State
game 10 days ago, the Nittany
Lions again relied on a second
1101 rally to win. Against the
Panthers at Pitt Stadium, Penn
State was on the short end of a
20-9 count, but fought back and
finally won, 34-30.
Larry Gent, diminuth"e Blue
and White forward, took second
honors for the NitL:nymen with a
point total of eight. According
to Coach Lawher, Gent has been
playMg commendable ball and
was one of the mainstays in the
rally which enabled Penn State to
come from behind and win both
the Army and Pitt contests.
Cage!! Cubs To Face
FUMY College Man
In Mat Preliminary
Penn State's freshman basketball
squad will get a taste of the Army
on the Rec Hall boards at 7 o'clock
Saturday night in the preliminary
to the varsity wrestling match.
Ammunition which will be used
against the Cubs consists of many
stars, because their opponents, the
Aberdeen, Md., Army testing
grounds ‘cagers, , boast Mark Heller,
former Syracuse__ captain; Lou
Barth, former Nittany Lion court
performer; Moe Becker, last ye - ar's
standout of the- Duquesne Univei
sity quintet and 'member of the
Madison Square Garden all-tour
nament team; and an All-Ameri
can eager from Santa Clara.
For two years, Temple Univer
sity's yearlings were undefeated,
only to be stopped by the testing
grounds combination. Its record
;has made Nick Thiel's 45er's prac
tice hard with an eye on scoring an
upset. No starting posts have been
announced.
