Quintet At Morgantown in Fourth Away Game 1945 Team Back; Two Make Lineup With a disappointing one-night homo stand against Washington and Jefferson behind them and with a record even-up at two wins and two defeats, the Nittany Lion .basketball team takes to the road again this morning for their fourth away game of the season— this time against We.st Virginia, a team loaded with pre-war talent. The game will mark the 29 th meeting of the two teams in a se ries that started in 1006. Although Penn State’s - cagers hold: a 16-<T2- advantage over the Mountaineer teams during that period, they failed to stop Coach Lee Paterson’s Morgantown boys last season as West Virginia made off with two victories 42-41 and 4:8-45. The 53-27 win over the Moun taineers in January, '1945, marks the last victory for Coach Law ther’s basketeers. COMPLETE TEAM BACK A leading contender for na tional championship honors this year, West Virginia can count on all players from last year’s great team —but only two of them are in the starting line-up. They are Captain 'Leland 'Byrd and Clyde Green. Other starters from the team that twice beat tlie Lions last year —Bobby Carroll, Tom Laverte and Dave Wilson—have been shoul dered out of the starting combine by iMike Medich, 6’ -5” center from Duquesne, and forwards Fred Schaus and Bill Zirkel, both well over the six-foot mark, who are playhrig their first season of var sity ball as freshmen.

The Mountaineers took th'eir o.pener from Fairmont Teachers 'B5-45, ran up a 7'6-37 score against Carnegie Tech and almost doubled Maryland’s points to win 81-43. Coach Lawther may not start Dave Horn-stein at center for Penn State because of a trouble some foot injury 'which has dogged Hornstein all season. In his place, Bruce 'Dietterick may get -the starting nod. OTHERS READY In other departments, though, the Nittany Lions will be at top strength as they try to upset the Mountaineers in the same fashion they; bumped l highly touted Georgetown in their second game. Jim'Lawther, high scorer for the Lions, against* W&J, 'arid Johnny Rusihko will toe at the guard posts. Jack Biery and Mill Simon will toe a$ the forward spots.
