Lions Suffer Second Straight Loss
As Mountaineers Down Cagers, 32-27
West Virginia's “jinx” over
Penn State’s athletic teams still
continues. This was evident after
the Mountaineers trounced the
Nittany Lions Saturday evening by
a 32 to 27 score on the Morgan-
town court, running the blue and
white string of defeats to two
straight on foreign wood.
Defensive playing by both
squads accounted for the low scor
ing.- Penn State’s failure to click
constantly on the offensive added
towards the defeat.
• Saturday’s loss brings the lia
bility side of the percentage col
umn to three lost so far this sea
son, as many as the Lions dropped
during the entire season last year.
Hopes for another district title
vanished following Saturday’s
loss. .
■ Although the blue and white
cagers gained a 10 to 8 lead at the
end of the initial period, the drive
put on by the Mountaineers was
enough to surge them ahead with
a 20 to 14 count at the end of the
•half. .
•’ Two foul shots were- all. the
points the Lions could garner dur
ing the third quarter, while the
Mountaineers increased their lead
to 14 points by scoring 10 counts
during the same period.

BETWEEN
THE LIONS
By BEN BAILEY
—Sports Editor—
For a team that has spent most
of its' weekend shuttling ’cross
country on the chandeliers of a
jam-packed and thoroughly cin
dered dav coach, Leo Houck’s var
sity fist-fighters appeared unusual
ly fresh for their Saturday night
meeting with Michigan State.
Which only serves to sustain my
theory that long-enough exposure
to the elements of the Nittany
Mountain regions provides the sub-
ject with that extra pinch of in
testinal fortitude to rise above air
less Pullman products and bad res
taurants.
Not only did the Lion ring
sters enjoy the tiring trek to
Michigan, but they would
have handed the latter a thor
ough thumping, instead of the
- 4-4 stalemate they . shared,
had the fellows who were ex-
pected to bog down bogged
down rather than the fellows
who were not expected to bog
down but who did bog down.

the Blue, and White’s 1942 121-
pound champ, scored his' third

es, when he pinned the Orange
and Black’s Moore in the 128-
pound class of the second period
with a reverse chancery and scis
sors. •
In the 145-pound class, A 1 Crab
tree of the Lions met and decision
ed Princeton’s Corothers by a
shutout score of 12-0, Crabtree
garnered .three near falls during
the progress of the bout and had
' almost pinned his opponent’s
shoulders to the canvas when the
bell ending the third period rang.
Had he succeeded in finishing off
his man in. due time, State would

third victory this year. Crabtree
remains undefeated thus far this
season.
