WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1948 Mountaineers Gun for 7th; Level Sights on Nittany Lion A small snowball which started in the West Virginia hills a lew weeks ago and picked up speed and weight every day will hit State College tonight at 8:30 when the Mountaineers try to add Penn State to their growing string of basketball wins. With six victories and one defeat in its grasp, the West'Virginia five will try to snow under the Lawthermen in Coach Lee Patton’s quest for another try for the invi. tational meet crown at Madison Square Garden next Spring. The Blue and White cagers, sporting a 3-3 *won-lost record, will attempt to apply a blowtorch in the form of the sliding-zone defense t 0 halt the team that is currently rated fifth-in the nation. Heading the visiting aggrega tion is Fred Schaus, 6-4 forward who, although he is favoring an injured ankle, has proven deadly in previous games. Another stand out pn the Mountaineer list i s Ice land Bynd, 6-3 center who hit the hoop for 267 points as Coach Pat ton's team won 10 and lost three games last year. TRIUMPHS • The list of victims of the Gold aaid Blue includes a powerful Niagara quintet, Washington and Lee, Fairmounf, Canisius, North Carolina State, and Brigham Young of Utah. Only a 58-53 de cision to Manhattan mars the otherwise perfect record of the Mountaineers. As opposed to the deliberate play of the Penn State team, the visitors use a razzle-dazzle brand of ball garnished with fast breaks and accurate shooting from the floor as well as the foul line.

They figured correctly that it was the best way to gel me into the air where I belonged. "I made it all right.
