Without so much as making an attempt to score a field goal in the first half of the game, the Pan-4 ■thers kept control of the ball with any easy passing attack so that •the score at the et*d of the initial •period stood at 5-2. • Amid the cheers and jeers of the full-house crowd the Panthers re fused to take shots even when they had the ball under their basket.

In that game, the Pitt team, with a scoring burst near ther;end of the game over came the ; Lion lead and managed to stave off a- last-minute drive by .the Nittany men. , The game was a case of bottling •up the men who had done the . scorihg in the-previous meeting of .the two teams. The Pitt forwards, Malarkey and Artman, who gave ■ the Lions so much trouble in the •; stadium, failed .to make a field .goal, while Dave Homstein, lanky ■ Lion center, was practically crowd ed off the floor. The planned final Pitt drive, al 'so a part of the Carlson strategy, was nipped in the bud as soon as ■ they started to try to score in the second half with the result that they made only 11 points while the Lions were running up 27 in that period. Scoring honors for the game •were divided between Larry Gent .and Jack Biery, Lion guards, with nine each. The big part of their ’points came through set shots. • Gent’s big addition to the Lion -cause came through his getting 'the ball up to the bank board •- where the Lion height was able to • take advantage of it.

Penn State has never defeated Army in dual competition on West Point soil. The closest the Lions have come to victory is when they tied the Mule at the Point last season, 27 to 27. Navy, in 1932, was the last team to turn the trick. So far this season, the soldiers have won three matches and met with one defeat, which was at the hsinds of 'the Temple Owls at Philadelphia. One of Army’s vic tories was a win over Indiana by a 12 to 3 score. The Lions have been victorious in two engage ments, one of which was a 13 to 2 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers. A glance at these figures reveals Penn State as slight favorites to cop the competition, but the Blue and White will be combating the past as well as the present record of the Cadets, when they meet Saturday. Army boasts of the best record of the modern series, having taken six Eastern Intercollegiate cham pionships since 1932. Coach Wettfsßme may shift his lineup to make the best possible showing at the meet. Greenly, Lion side horse gymnast, may break into the starting lineup for the first time this season, probab ly replacing Sorenson. Barclay and Wirtschafter will battle it out for the third position in the rope climbing event. Army, exceptionally strong on the ropes, will enter McGee against the Lions’ best, Chuck Lebow. Ed Watkins of the Cadets will tangle with Bill Bonsall for ring honors, while Toth, of the Mules, will test unbeaten Small on the side horse. Schatz and Reed, West Pointers, will battle it out with Sorenson and Lebow on the horizontal bar, while Lion Frey will meet the Cadet’s best in M. Martin. After the Army match, the Lions will move to Philadelphia where they will engage a strong Temple squad March 6. The next competition for the Blue and White will be in the Eastern In tercollegiates to be held in Rec Hall March 13. Jh 31.

Y., to meet Cornell whom they were supposed to meet here this past Saturday evening, Coach Paul Campbell and his Nit tany Lion matmen received then fourth victory of the season as they defeated the Big Red by a score of. 19-9 in Barton Hall. Co-captain Charlie Ridenour, seeking revenge from his loss to Navy's Malcolm MacDonald the previous weekend, took it out on Cornell’s 128-pounder, Raina, whom he threw in 8:59, one sec ond before the completion of the bout, with a short arm scissors. The pinning was the fourth Ride nour has meted out in five matches this year. The other Lion who scored a fall, accounting for five points of his team’s score, was heavyweight Bob Morgan, who threw Cornell’s crafty Barrett with a half nelson and bar arm in 6:58. In a match that went into two extra periods because of the close competition of the opponents, State’s Fred Reeve, 165-pounder, emerged the winner as he scored an escape and won a minute time advantage over Comellian Craw ford. The bout was probably the most hotly-contested of the even ing's grunting and groaning.. Returning to State’s lineup in the 121-poud class, which was filled by Ridenour at the Navy meet, Kryder Mattern decisioned McNair, his opponent, by a score of 9-6. The rerhaining three points for State was racked up when 136- pounder Sam Harry, once beaten, this year by Taylor of Princeton, decisioned Nickerson by an easy 12-7 count. Cornell’s points were scored by decisions in the 145, 155, and 175- pouncf weight brackets. Big Red men Miller, Almquist, and Steele decisioned Penn State’s Crabtree, Dipner, and Samler in those re spective divisions. Coach Campbell and his team will close the 1943 dual-meet wrestling season in Rec Hall this Saturday evening when they meet the grapplers of Lehigh "University. Is It A Small World?
