TuEsDAy, JANUARY 14, 1947 Cagers Upset Mules, Zone Defense Clicks; Foe Never Threatens Penn State's basketball team scored its second major upset of the week Saturday—and with plenty to spare--as the Nittany Lions completely overshadowed Muhlenberg to win 48-36 at Rec Hall• before a capacity crowd of more than 5000. Seeming to thrive in its role of underdog, the Lawthermen built up a*lB-3 lead midway through the first period and maintained the advantage to the end. Close, deliberate play marked the first-half. Coach Lawther's plays were clicking consistently as the Nittany five scored regu larly on quick thrusts toward the basket. But the Mules, fighting back tenaciously, were able to pick the majority of rebounds off their ownbackboard but ran afoul trying to pierce State's smoothly functioning zone defense. STRONG 2ND HALF In the second half, Penn State— refusing to fade in the second half as they had in -earlier .losses to Bucknell and West Virginia—gave Muhlenberg no respite 'as Milt Si mon and Bruce Dietterick con sistently tallied to' give the Lions their fourth victory as against four defeats. Prettiest play from the home viewpOint was miniature Milt's lake .of a one-handed. shot from the corner, a quick flip to Rusinko, and Johnny's shot good for two points which stopped a budding ,Muhlenberg threat in its tracks. PLAY-BY-PLAY The game was less than a min ute old when Simon hit on a short shot to send the Lions ahead 2-0. 'Biery pushed in a set shot before McGee broke the scoring ice for Muhlenberg with - a 'free throw and a short one-hander for 4-3. Then the Lawthermen went on a 14-point spree while - holding the Mules scoreless :for eight minutes. The Mules, who had started ,with a .zone, moved quickly into a man-.to-man defense which suc ceeded in holding the Lions with out a field goal for the last seven 'minutes of 'the half while they whittled 'away at State's lead.. McGee:' - pitched in another shorC one to make it ' 18-5. Rusinko -then interrupted with a free throw, but Baldwin and Harry. Donovan pitched in five ; points .and it was 19-13. Russell notched a free throw just be- fore the, half . The Mlles kept right on coming at the beginning of the second half, pulling to within 5 points, 2(3-21, before an 8-poinf outburst led by Hornstein and the trick shot by Rusinko with an assist to Simon.
