WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1948 Lions Seek Second Victory ; Face American U. Tonight By Elliot Krane Two distinct variations of the zone defense will be put to the test tonight in Rec Hall at 8 o'clock when thC Penn State court men will try to bring their win record to the .500 mark at the ex pense of the American U. Eagles. The Washington. D. ,C.. team, which holds a 6 win and 3 loss record including a two point de feat by the highly rated Muhlen berg Mules. employs a two team defense. One of the squad, uses a man-to-man defense while the second uses a straight zone. "Pop" Cassell. American U. mentor. shifts either squad in and out of the game regularly with 12 to 14 players seeing action in every fray. LINE-UP To Ambat this two team de fense. Coach John Lawther will use his sliding zone with Terry Ruhlman and John Kulp at the natnick at cen ion and Jack ery at the for irds. "I'd like to use e fast. rushing. iense that :m a 1 s to the ns." said Coach "b u t team as it now is bet • adripted to a •wer. more de erate attack." When asked about the recent Pitt a'ame which the Lions drooped by one point. the tall coach remarked. "The game was lost in the back court. We couldn't take the ball off the bankboards, and each time Pittsburgh cut to ward the 117Flref. we - ntlled them."

These three high ccoring men Plus forwards Bob Lannon, l-1, and Captain Bart Fugler, 9-1, give the visitors a height advan tage over the Lawthermen plus a lot of high scoring potentiality. John Kulp's appearance in the lineup after two week layoff with a bad shoulder should help the team solve its eternal back board problem. If any leaks occur in the capers' sliding zone, Coach Lawther will cend Lee Schisier and Dick McKown into the guard positions to try to find the best possible defensive combination.
