Lions Lose
Thriller to
F,onn State's hard-luck basketball team almost turned in an
other majcir upset cr/sparable to its early-season win. over George
town as the cagers led the powerhouse West Virginia quintet
almost all the way up to the final three minutes of play only to haye
victory slip item their grasp as the Mountaineers pulled the game
cut of the fire 40-37 Wednesday night at Morgantown. ,
As a result of the West Virginia defeat, the Niltany .Lions haye
pow lost three games in e. row whil e ' winning two as they come up
to the Holiday recess—and each loss has been within fqur points or
less of a victory.
Lead 36-35
■With the Lawfhermen d'e&per*
Eile'y trying to hold- a 36-35 lead
with three mrrinultes remaining, Ft
was Eisioh Byrd, outstanding
Mountaineer guard and Captain,
who tossed in two rapid-fire field!
goaln that broutsfal the overflow
n owd ctf 5503 basketball .fans to
jts feet and earned West Virginia
i!U 'f&un'jh Straight win.
•The Mountaineers had expected
an easier tvm e of it,- and for a
.w ihi’ie it looked as though the
Lions would kick the dope bucket
ci'Jl ever the West Virginia Field
•House, They ran up a 1.0-9 first
period lead and rushed into a 28-
17 hai.'.time advantage be£or e the
home team ccuilid get its breath.
ONLY TWO GOALS
West Virginia tallied only two
field 'goals in the first half as the
LgwJ(her zone defens e and ball
conlrglling offense completely
dominated the game. Only by con
yorfipg 13 out of 14 foul line
throws were the Mountaineers
able to stay within shouting dist
ance'of the Lions.
Coach LawOher juggled his
starting line-uip, putting Bozinski
and Ku n p at 'forwards .and Diet
terick at center. Catching the Wesit
Virginians off - balance 'long
enough to build up the second
period' lead, Biery, Simon and
Horngitein—the usual staters
turned the 'quarter in State’s fa
vor.
COME TO LIFE
Bult in th e third period the
Mountaineers gained' control of
the backibaard's and playing a
more cautious game, made every
shot ©curat as they whittled away
a't the Lion lead. Alightning,attack
in the first six minutes of .the sec
ond haM play 'scored Id points
against two for the Lions and
sent West Virginia into the lead
3.1-27.
But early in the fourth period,
Penn State, regained the load 36-
35 oniy to see Captain Byrd throw
in his two game-winning shots.
WEST VA. SCORES FIRST
The game was eight minutes
.old whe n the 'Mountaineers got
their first fieE'd goal, a lay-up by
Sdhauh. Four free throws by
Beech and three by Medich had
built up a West Virginia dead oif
7-4 previously. Then Dietiteridk
and Riusinko splurged for six
points in the v la ; st s ''sl*ty seconffis to
give State a 110-9 first period lead.

Army Suggests
Photostat Use
.Use of photostats rather than
original discharge certificates as
supporting evidence for claims
under the so-called Terminal
Leave Pay Act is being urged by
Major General W. H. Kasten,
Army .Chief of Finance.
• “Many applicants are incon
venienced in the pursuit of their
prerogatives under the GI Bill of
Rights by the inevitable delay
which ocurs. in the processing of
their leave claims,” General Kas
ten said. “Although Finance Of
ficers return original discharge
.papers as quickly as they can,
.many applicants find that profit
able business deals are' held up or
nullified by the fact that their
honorable discharges are in the
hands of'.the finance.officers.”
He urged that veterans take ad
’vantage' r of t photostating services
.which are offered free or at low
cost by many service and veterans
organizations. “Since a man re
quires his original discharge cer
tificate to, get GI loans, etc., it is
to his interest to retain the certi
ficate at all times,” he said. “Fi
nance officers can get all the in
formation they need from photo
stat coDies of reasonable size.
He emphasized that both sides
of the certificate must be photo
stated and submitted.
