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. Simon and Dietterick hit

Tantalizer
Dry perfume makes your
favorite Roger & Gallet
fragrance go farther. Its
tantalizing scent is released
gradually when patted di
rectly on warm skin. A dash
in . the hem of your dance
dress fills the air with fade
less perfume. Doused inside
your blouse, the effect is
really terrific! Use it regu
larly—in all ways—just like
liquid perfume.
