Cagers Beat Bisons; B oxers Meet W. Maryland
Third Straight Win;
Face Tech Tomorrow
Concluding a most successful
home stand with a 52-45 win over
the Bucknell Bisons Wednesday,
Penn State's basketball team taiga
to the road once more to face Car
negie Tech in Pittsburgh tomor
row night.
Trailing 24-30 with half of the
second period gone, the Nittany
Lion •cagers suddenly came to life
to hand Bucknell its first defeat
of the season before another
capacity crowd of more than 5000
SIMON HOT
Jim Lowther started, the spree
for
_the Lawthermen and little
'Kilt Simon picked up where Jim
left off to tally seven points• in
five minutes and spark the Lions
to a revenge victory
.o ver the boys
from Lewigburg.
Deliberate play marked a rather
colorless first half as . the Lions
got their plays working only long
enough to build up a 211-14 advan
tage before Bucknell—sparked by
two .beautiful shots from the cor
ner by Lou Desci—picked up the
lost ground. Halftime score was
22-2 , 1 in fairor of Penn State.
LIONS BEHIND
Coach
,Lawther's men couldn't
solve Bucknell's close man-for
man defense until Simon started
the ball rolling with his tip-in
and a long shot. But then they
began to roll.
A-pivot shot by Rusinko sent
State ahead 3544 as Desci left
the game on a foul of Rusinko. A
few seconds later, Simon hit on
Between the ,Lions
Last Fray night, twlo students made their way up to Rec Hail to
'Oalt -, dh the -Penn State-Miami boxing inatehes. One was an amputee.
Upon entering the gym an hour beflore bout time, they found the plac e
Completely packed. Not being able to stand .for two hours, they left—
Olisappeinted.
On the night of the Miami bloxing bouts, the seating allowance was
only 75 percent of eapadity. Eatimlated attendance was 4850. But with
an 'additional five sets of temporary Stands placed at ,either end of Rec
Hall and with 800 . available singl e chairs set up on the floor, another
1500 persona could have been admitted.
With basketball in the Hall, the Situation is a little different. At
the Bracknell . gam e Wednesday, stands were finally spotted at the
south end of the court, enabling . probably andthe r 300. persons to find
seats. Similar stands oan be erected on the north end clear of the
entranceway as soon as they are available.
GLASS -BACItBOARDS?
And if a suggestion that has been consistently put forward by
aluanni were heeded, those Watching la • game from the end Stands
Could see wfhlart was going on on the floor. We refer to glass back
hclardls. liiglh sdhools and other colleges throughout the' country have
had glass backhaards almost as long as we hav e had Rec Hall. During
the War, of Course, they were not available. But now, we are told,
glass backfboards are once again o n the market. They mak e appreci
ably little difference in the rebound of the ball and •are consistent
with intercollegiate basketball rules. Then why not have glass back
boards at Penn State? •
• The contention. in .some quarters that - oUtsiders--4.e., townspeople
and .alumni---iblave been taking up seats thait AloUld go to students is
of mino r importance. AlCdording to renTable figures, 19;l paid admis
sions were accepted for the Miami boxing bouts, 23.1 for the basketball
game with Muthlenberg and 238 for the basketball game with Temple.
College anthorities have done everything consistent with good politics

ute later it was Simon 'again for
39-34 as cheers echoed in• the
Hall.
With Haas and Wilson com
bining for five points, Bucknell
tied it up again at 39-39 with four
minutes remaining. But then Wil
liams fouled Simon', who con
vented to make the score 40-39.
Lawther laid one up for two
points. Rusinko followed with an

On the other hand, it has not
been the adMinistration entirely
that has been half-hearted in its
attitude toward the seating prob
lem in Rec Hall. Members or the
student body and faculty who put
coats and hats on seats which
eould be taken by others add fuel
to the Ere. By walking around the
indoor track during a boxing
