(Hornstein commit ted his fifth foul in the overtime period] tout the deferee declined to rmove him from the game, claiming that an overtime foul did not disqui&lify a player. ' Coach Uawther played his three tall men'—Hlornstein, Dietterick and Businko —idown Court in an attempt to overcome the'home team’s height advantage. But once the Bisons got rolling they were just too hot to handle. Tallest player on the currerft Penn State basketball edition is Dave Hornstein, prewar star who rises 6 feet, 6 inches above the ground. "*■ T*n,*«* (Continued from page one) Fg FI Tot.
