WIDNERDAY, JANUARY 19, 1949
Lion Cagers Test Navy,
Buck Tars Court Jinx
Hoping to solve the question that has been stumping cage experts
for years—how to beat Navy on its home court—Penn State's bas
ketball courtage entrained for Annapolis early this morning for a
4 o'clock engagement with the Middies.
The Tars, on the strength of their unmarred home record, are
heavy favorites to repeat last year's 40 to 36 defeat of the Nittany
Lions. However, Coach John
Lawther'a cagers, who have come
back strong after an early season
slump by copping two of its last
three games, figure to have some
opinions on the matter them
selves.
This afternoon's tussle with
Navy will terminate Penn State's
basketball activities until after
the semester exams. Following
its 2-week layoff, the Lions return
to action Wednesday, Feb. 2
against West Virginia at Morgan
town, W. Va.
FLOOR ADVANTAGE
"Over the years, teams enter
ing Annapolis have found the
Middies' skill and floor advan
tage plus a tremendous buoying
spirit prove too great an obstacle
to overcome."
"You can compare Navy games
to those played in the "Big 10",
Lawther reflected. "There, if you
win about two games away from
home you are a virtual cinch to
win the loop championship."
Coach Ben Carnevale's team
has ao far won five while drop
ping four. Navy's last game re
sulted in a 57-50 defeat of a good
Rutgers outfit in the Tar gym.
The four losses were sustained
from such worthy opponents as
Princeton, Northwestern, Minne
sota and a 70-62 loss at the hands
of Notre Dame, (all on foreign
courts.)
Last year, Navy won ten games
and lost seven.
Coach Carnevale has counter-

acted the loss of several of hip
starters from last year's squad
with the addition of some high
ly-regarded dribblers from the
1947-48 undefeated plebe team,
Carnevale has three returning
lettermen, with Captain John
"Wheel" Barrow, a reliable set•
shot and good 6 foot 3 inch de
fensive player as his hub.
Navy's starting lineup will see
Barrow and Harry Woods, 5-foot
-10-inch hurdler, at the forward
spots. Willie Wilson and Dick
Williams will alternate at the
center slot. Wilson, an especially
dangerous one-hand pivot shot,
led last year's plebes in the scor
ing column. Williams, who also
can play forward, is the Tar's
biggest man at 6 feet 4 inches.
Dave Mullaney, a 6-foot Long
Island athlete, is especially adept
at setting up plays from his guard
spot and teams perfectly with
Barrow. Joe Fitzpatrick, who
notched 14 points against Rut
gers, will be the other starting
guard.
Lawther has listed his opening
five, naming Milt Simon, whose 14
points against Carnegie Tech Sat
urday enabled him to take over
the No. 1 spot among Lion scor
ers, and Joe Tooci as his guards,
Marty Costa at center, and Carl
Nardblom and Terry Ruhlrnan
in the frontcourt. Lawther also
named Lou Lamie as a possible
starter at one of the forward pos
itions.
