In the unilimited class, Cavalier Milton Parlow, tac kle on the football team, has made a good showing by racking up three wins. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Nillanymen Score 6th Straight Victory By GORDON COY Penn State's Lions roared a de cisive' warning throughout the Eastern basketball stronghold last night as they routed the visiting Temple Owls in Rec Hall 46-33, to ring up their six tn straight vic tory. Capitalizing on a first-half scor ing "blitz," the Nittany cagers forg ed far out in front early in the tilt and then coasted through to their 11th victory in 13 games played this season. Led by big Herk Baltimore, who took scoring honors . with 15 points, the Lions broke a 4-4 deadlock in the opening minutes of the game, and from then on were never head ed. It was the Nittany courtmen's first home . appearance since mid way in December, and they took advantage of the debut by wallop ing the OWls 29-11 during the first half. Following the half-time inter mission, however, the visitors re gained some of the spark that they recently displayed in defeating New York University. With only six minutes left to play, Temple edged to within nine points of the Lions, but Penn State nipped the rally despite the loss of three play ers via the personal foul route. During the first half, Coach John Lawther's quintet presented an al most unbeatable combination as the Lions' questionable offense clicked just as well as their famed 'sliding zone defense. The result was obvious as Baltimore, Larry Gent, and John Egli shared the brunt of the attack with •eight, seven, and seven points, respec tively. The second half was a different story, however, as Temple out scored Penn State, 22-17. With both teams playing a Tough game, perSonal fouls dominated the clos ing minutes of the battle. Out of the 38 personals called by the of ficials, Penn State accounted for 18 and Temple 20. Continuing his commendable foul-shooting record, Elmer Gross tallied five points in five tosses from the free-throw line, to bring his season's total to 33 out of 41.
