Cagers Face Strong West Va. 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.
WEST VA. UNDEFEATED
While the Lions have been re
cording wins over Susquehanna
and Georgetown and losing, to
Bucknell and W&J, West Virginia
•has breezed through three second
rate teams. 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.
As in, the last, two games With)
Bueknell and,. W.&J, Penh State
will jbe on the short end- of the
height advantage. But the Moun
taineers, have hot faced' a first
clash. team yet this and.
Coacfh'. Paterson’s freshmen instf
find Coach John Lawther’s zone
defense h to it puzzling. • • ,
