mmstiAy, MARCH 3, 1949 Simon Breaks Record As Lions Win, 52-41 A dramatic set shot by Milt Simon •in the final 50 seconds of play cracked the Penn State Hee Hall individual mark last night as an inspired Lion quintet went on to hand Temple University a decisive 52-41 defeat. One of the smallest crowds to watch a State court fray this season saw the dynamic Simon snap back after tying the Lion record last week against American U. Previously Jack Biery set the Blue-and-White pace with 23 points in a game before the war and tied it again last year. Betwaen 0 1 7. • Irk° Lions By Tom Morgan SPORTS EDITOR What's 52 Wins? Was Soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey worrying about the safety of his 05-game spotless soccer streak (1932-1941)? Queried about his concern over Navy's recent wres tling string which reached 52, the Scot laughed and said: "Fifty-two is goo d. but I was never worried. There was little danger that Navy would reach 65 straight wrestling meets without defeat." Jeffrey, who, incidentally, will open spring soccer prajtice in two or three weeks, guided his teams from '32 to '4l to what is believed to be the longest skein without defeat in intercollegiate sports.

THE DA;LY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA The high-water mark for all teams is 25 tallies set by Ed Brett of Colgate this season. QUARTER EDGE After playing a close-to-the vest game during the opening minutes of the first period, the duel developed into a ding-dong scoring battle. Simon, Joe Tocci and Lou Lamie, who operated in pro-like fashion under both bas kets, combined efforts to give the Nittanies a 15-12 first-quar ter edge. Featured by the red-hot out side shooting of Simon, who rimmed nine points in the pre intermission period, the Lions ballooned the score to 31-18 at the half. The air-tight State zone held the Owls, averaging 58 tal lies per game, to only six mark ers in the second period. STARS MISSING • Sadly missing the services of the three Quaker City aces who only last week brought the Phil- , adelphia district crown to Tem ple, Coach Josh Cody used fre quent substitutions to halt the Lion surge but to no avail. Missing from the Owls' open ing lineup were Nelson Bobb, star forward, Ed Lerner, set shot artist, at guard, and "Ike" Bor savage, center. Bobb suffered a broken ankle in the Owls' last game, while Lerner and Bor savage are ineligible. At the three-quarter mark the Nittany Valley five held a com fortable 42-29 advantage.

Two fraternity battles, Theta Kappa Phi vs. Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Phi Delta Theta vs. Pi Kap pa Alpha, at 9:25, round out to night's play.

Quintet from "A", ran up eight straight wins and Phi Delta Theta from fraternity league "B" won seven n a row to grab league titles without a playoff. Dorm 25 meets the Foresters„ Spring Lacrosse Attracts 82, 13 Lettermen Form Nucleus With basketball gasping its final breath and both baseball and track athletics already in their preliminary training stages, one of Penn State's most under-publicized spring sport events, lacrosse, will really get down to work within the next few days. Although actually out for the past two weeks getting the feel of the sport, Coach Nick Thiel's largely-uninitiated horde begins concentrated practice sessions in anticipation of their initial battle more than a month hence with Penn on April 13. With the return of 13 lettermen from a team that won six out of nine engagements last year, the somewhat balding mentor is en tertaining high hopes of turning in aother successful seaso. The squad strength at the present time numbers 82 signed players. Approximately 38 varsity berths will be open, while the remaining players are to be snhuted to the State jayvee team. 14 2 14 2 8 8 REPLACEMENTS Thiel's main headache will be to fill the gap in his mid-field brought about by the loss of John Nolan, who was named All-Am erican choice for the mid-field position last year. Nolan also co captained the undefeated 1947 Nittany L ion football aggrega tion. 2 14 2 14 0 16 Another problem will be to find an adequate replacement for Goalie Bill Hollenbach captain of last year's squad, who was named State's outstanding lacrosse sen ior and whose name has been en scribed on the Pittinger plaque in Rec Hall.

"Practically every var sity aspirant has never played r. even seen a game of lacrosse be fore coming to Penn State," said Thiel, "but one of the beauties of the game is that everyone can play regardless of size or exper ienec." RUGGED CONTEST But as the witty veteran of some 15 years of lacrosse warfare at the head of the Lions points out, a rugged constitution and plenty of guts helps. The game, as originally played by the North American Indians, isn't a sport for pantywaists. It is a perpetual ly-moving, 60-minute game in volving plenty of body contact.
