Presidents Take Cagers, 48-46;
Knocke Brothers Lead Attack
' It seems that. Coach John Lawther’s cagers have developed a
flair for the dramatic. With three games played against major op
ponents this season, not one has been decided by more than four
points. •
Latest addition to the record books was Saturday night’s 48-46
loss to a strong Washington and Jefferson quintet before a capacity
crowd on the Rec Hall court.
As in the loss earlier in the week to Bucknell in overtime, it was
the enemy height and depth that spelled defeat for the Nitlany Lions.
Despite the two close set-backs in the past week, however, the Lions
have showed definite spark and are going to be plenty tough for any
team to tame
PAY-OFF POINTS
Two quick baskets in the last
minute turned the trick for the
Presidents. Charlie Knocke tip
ped one in under the basket, and
eight seconds later Dillman tossed
in a long shot to clinch the game.
It was a see-saw affair all the
way, and two of the three Knocke
brothers were the deciding fac
tors. Together they gathered 31
points, Hank getting 18 to lead the
scoring parade. Jim Lawther was
high scorer for State with 13
points. .
Forced into a fast game by a
down court W&J defense early
in the game, State fought back to
erase a 10-4 deficit and tie the
game at li-11 with ten minutes
gone. A seven-point spree by
Hornstein, Dietterick and Lawther
in the last four 1 minutes then gave
Slate a 25-19 halftime edge. Dave
Hornstein, who didn’t figure in
Lawthers plans because of a bad
foot, 'added the ■ modern, design
that made-the big difference dur
ing the first, hyb .periods. ....
LIONS INCREASE LEAP
Thfr-'iions threatened to break
open in thefjirSt min
ute ofi.the second hall', -Dieiterick,
Biery;; ; and Simon scdriHg to, run
the count to 30-21. Then the
Knockbs.. took over, to
gether.!? points.to lead, the Ffesi
dentsrinto a third quarter lead of
35-33
With three . minutes of the game
remaiMlrig, State broke .hiib ."the
lead again op a .beautiful, shot by
.Rusiriko under the basket and a
long se.tfrbm the side by Biery. A
minute, later Fbrquer sank, a free
throviytb bring the shore.to iBrM,
and then Knocke and Dilkhah tal
lied their two shots—and that was
the ball game,.. ...
USED ONLY SIX *4EN
For the second straight game
Lawther- employed only six. play
ers—trying -to get the most out
of the height he had. Jim Law
ther fouled out with three min
utes to go and was missed. Law
ther and Simon are the smallest
of the Lions, but also the itiost
aggressive, providing a constant
threat to . the opposition on de
fenses. ,
Coach Adam Safidefs hoped ,to
throw State off balance with his
downcaturt.. defense, but Bruce
Dietterick : proved' too adept at
breaking away; After the Lions
had pulled- even; the. Presidents
established their defense further
back.: •• • ■'"> ■' ' ~ '

s Dean Schott
Physical Education School at ihe
College, was reelected for another
term as president, of the United
State s' Intercollegiate Lacrosse
Association at the G4:h annual
meeting of the gropp in New York
Saturday.
Dr. Schott informed the Asso
ciation that he had learned that
lacrosse would be barred from Ihe
1948 Olympic Games because of
England’s objection to the inclu
sion on the program of any sport
not classed as a “regular” sport.
To. be classed as regular, it is
necessary that 10 or more nations
have played such a game, and that
seven be currently active in it, ac
cording to 'Dean S'chott.
At present, lacrosse is played in
form countries —England, Canada,
Australia and the United States.
In an. alternative move, the Asso
ciation established a committee
.which will arrange h'ome-aml
home matches between the United
States and English and Canadian
teams every two or three years.
For 12 p£ his 21 years as coalch,
Bill Jeffrey’s Nit'tany Lion soccer
teams have been unbeaten. The
1940 team was the first to finish,
undefeated.
