7,MDMPAY: •.*IWAT I7s, XgP Between the Lions A personal duel, which should be second only to the forthcoming Jesse Arnelle Mark Workman (West Virginia) scoring fued, will take place Thursday night when Ed Miller and Arnelle, two big centers from New Rochelle, N.Y. clash on the hardwood of Rec Hall. Six-eight center Miller, of Syracuse, has come a long way - in basketball prowess since we' first watched him perform on the local boards two seasons ago. He was' just a tall, gangling sophomore then. But after two years of ex perience, "big Ed" has developed into one of the b - th( nation, and lir averaged close 24 points - a - gam , this season f the unbeate Orangemen. Thk Syracuse co 7 cap• tain broke t h Buffalo • Memo) ial Auditoriui record when •hi tossed 40 poin' through the ho, sius in the earl son. Meanwhile, Amalie has ad vanced rapidly in the local scoring race and tops the Lions with 82 markers in six contests. In the last four games the big frosh has averaged 17 per game and has a seasonal average of 13.5. He has hit for 17, 20, 10, and 21 points in his last four outings. A recent United Press survey showed that the home basketball team has won more than 70 per cent of basketball games played this season. Thus', it appears that the best' formula for a winning season 'is to arrange a predomi nantly home schedule. This 7-3 • advantage for the home team is one reason why Lion Coach Elmer Gross is getting grey hair every time he looks at this year's schedule. The Nittanies have 12 more away tilts against only 6 re maining Rec Hall games. Mentioning Workman again, the six-nine Mountaineer has al ready scored 217 points to lead the Tri-State area in scoring. Sat- Kuharich Name CHICAGO, Jan. B—(AP)—Jo seph F. Kuharich, 34, coach of the University of San Francisco's un beaten 1951 eleven, today was named head of the Chicago Cardi nals. He signed a two-year con tract. Kuharich, former Notre Dame and Cardinal star- guard, becomes the• National Football League's youngest mentor. His salary was not disclosed but was believed to be $15,000 annually. Kuharich succeeds Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau, who resigned 10 days before the 1951 N.F.L. season ended. Lambeau's two-sea son Cardinal regime was cut short by a smoldering - feud with Walter Wolfner, club general di rector, and coaching assistants. Directed through the final two games by a trio of assistants, the Cardinals finished last in the N.F.L.'s American conference with a.. 3-9 record.

The Mountain eers snapped NYU's 12-game win streak with a 100-75 upset in Mad ison Square Garden last week. Incidentally, West Virginia has decided not to play any more basketball games i n Madison Square Garden. This includes regularly -scheduled games and tournaments. It's also reported the Mountaineers would spurn an invitation to the National Invitation Tourna ment. This move is being made after a demand from school offi cials that the cage team con fine - its activities to campus courts. Syracuse's Orangemen' meet three district teams this week. They play Pitt in the Pitt Field house tonight, State tomorrow, and, Duquesne at home Saturday. The Panthers could do the Lions a big favor by giving Coach Marc Guley's team a tough game so the Orangemen are fatigued when they invade Rec Hall tomorrow. Coach Gross and his dribblers can derive some consolation that Washington & Jefferson, only cage team to defeat the Lions, won its sixth straight game Saturday. The Presidents knocked off Bethany, 73-61. Carnegie Tech, whom the Lions host Saturday night, has two players among the district's lead ing scorers. Tom Craig, has scored 101 points, and Fran Kueniz, 95, for the Tartans in the first eight games. The Skibos had hopes for a good season but now have a 4-4 record after a' 57-55 loss to Slip pery Rock, Saturday. Card Coach ed appointment at a 'news con ference.
