'Parlor Story' Cast Triumphs Over Complicated Plot Overcoming what could have amounted to a swamp of plot complexity, the cast of "Parlor Story," Players' Center Stage pro duction which opened last night, managed to breathe life into what possibly could have amounted to a stodgy lecture. The play is a cross between a political satire and a domestic comedy, with the latter half of its split personality maintaining the lead through most of the eve ning. At times, however, one for gets that the intent of the play is to amuse, and not to lecture on the evils resulting from politi cal corruption. Troubled Plot The story concerns the trou bles encountered by a college professor when the ugly shadow of personal ambition threatens to replace the man's inherent idealism and hatred of compro mise.

Joe Harris, nationally-known handicapper of collegiate and professional sports, went out on a limb earlier this week, select ing Penn State by four mints over the Western Pennsylvania club. EXPERIENCE One thing that has been defi nitely proven in the Lions' past few games is that the State Col lege five will floor a more ex perienced. stronger club than the one which previously dropped a 40-33 tilt at the Pitt Stadium pavilion. One of the features of interest will focus on the friendly rivalry between Pitt's colorful head bas ketball coach, "Doc" Carlson, and the Lion boss, John Lawther. Approaching the fag end of the 1948-'49 season with a percent age likened to a big-league pitcher's batting average (3 wins and 8 losses) the Lawthermen find themselves with only five contests following the Pitt scrim mage. DAVID Enriched with the possession of Pitt's all-time one-year scor ing record, Slingin' Sammy David will again be on hand to nlague State's zone defense. The slim sharpshooter has scored 317 points in 21 games to shatter a mark that has withcfood a clPnade of bombardment. Chuck "Chip per" Hyatt had previously set the old standard. One pre-game advantage that State will enjoy is in the vital backboard control denartment. The contest will probably settle down to a duel between the Lions' control of the boards ver sus Pitt's fast break and smooth ball-handling.
