The Lion's Lair
With Penn State (15-1) and Duquesne (17-0) sporting two of the
best basketball records in the country today, 'many district fans
would like to see the two schools play 'each other.
,The game, would be a natural. Both Dudey Moore and Elmer
Gross have their best.team in years, and with both schools in the
district, the contest would be a big drawing card.
However, to settle any argu
ments, the game would have to
be played on a neutral court. The
Dukes .are almost invincible on
their own home court—the Du
quesne Gardens—while the same
could be said aboilt State in Rec
Hall. The ideal spot would prob
ably be in the Pitt Field House
or the Jaffa Mosque in Altoona.
And a s

Dorm 23 Absorbs
First Court Setback
Dorm 36 roared back in the second half to hand Dorm 23 its first
intramural cage setback Monday night by a close 25-23 margin.
The confident Dorm 23 team led at halftime, 16-12, but could not
halt the winners' second half attack. Dorm 36 now leads League J
by onelhaif game over the Sinkers, Hawks, and Dorni 23. All the
teams have been defeated once, but Dorm 36 has five victories while
the other three ...teams have only
four. Russ Provenzano sparked
Dorm 36 with 10 points.
Still in League J, the Sinkers
romped over - the Foxes, 56-13,
and the Mercuries scored a 23-14
triumph over Simmons Hall.
Franklin Yingling's 10 markers
led Dorgi 24 to a 26-15 win over
the Alcoholics. The win was
number two for Dorm 24 as
against four losses, while the Al
coholics are still seeking their
first win.
Ford City Wins
Palmerton, the big noise in
League K, smashed Dorm 5 by a
31-9 score, to hang up its sixth
consecutive victory. The winners
took it easy in the second half
after piling up a 22-6 halftime
command.
FOrd City, the closest team to
Palmerton- in the league stand
ings, remained one and a half
games behind the leaders by
tripping the Penn State Club, 30-
19. John Badura paced the Ford
City team with 12 points.
Comets Win Fourth
Harry Ennis connected on se
ven field goals and seven of eight
free throws for 21 points in lead
ing Dorm 41 to a 35-17 triumph
over Dorm 35. McElwain Hall
forfeited to Dorm 28.
One' game was played in
League E, but it had .no effect on
the league standings. The Comets
won their fourth game •as against
two setbacks by burying Dorm 29
under a 24-13 score.

If Jesse Arnelle keeps up the
pace he is setting now he's al
most sure bet to break Penn
State's three year scoring rec
ord about the middle of next
season.
Lou Lamie, captain and jump
shot specialist of last year's
squad, currently holds the three
year Penn State mark of 666. If
Arnelle can average 15 points the
rest of this season, he will finish
with• 405 points. (He is currently
averaging 17.8). That would leave
him just 26:. points short of the
three year standard.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA.
Kentucky Ranked Top Team;
Penn State Drops to 17th Place
NEW YORK, Feb. 12—M—With the approach of tournament
time in college basketball, it almost is becoming possible to pick out
the most likely candidates for the major events by looking at the
weekly national rankings.
Kentucky already has earned a place in the National Collegiate
A.A. tournament by clinching the Southeastern Conference title.
And for the fourth straight week
the sports writers and sports
casters participating in the As
sociated Press ranking poll have
voted the Wildcats the No. 1 posi
tion in the nation.
Also ranked in the first ten,
Kansas State and Kansas of the
Big Seven Conference, lowa and
Illinois of the Big Ten, St. Louis
of the Missouri Valley and Wash
ington of the Pacific Coast are
very much in the running for
conference titles and NCAA. play
off spots.
Kentucky First
Here's how the teams were
ranked this week by 103 voters:
Kentucky, Kansas. State, Du
quesne, St. Bonaventure, lowa,
Illinois, St. Louis, Washington,
Kansas and St. John's (Brooklyn).
Kentucky, listed first on 42 bal
lots, polled 'a total of 867 points
as compared to 737 for Kansas
State, which drew 14 first-place
votes. After the votes were in
yesterday, Kentucky went out
and walloped Mississippi State,
110 to 66, for its 21st victory of
the season against two defeats.
Duquesne Advances
Duquesne also reflected the ac
curacy of the ballots by downing
St. Bonaventure, 69-63. These two
teams and St. John's likely will
be among the first considered
for bids to the 12-team NatiOnal
Invitation Tournament, starting
March 8.
Although several of the top
ten teams switched positions last
week, the group as a whole re
mained unchanged. Unbeaten Du
quesne and lowa moved up on the
list while Illinois 'and Kansas
dropped back after losing.
Bonnies Face St. John's
St. Bonaventure, still uncon
vinced that it isn't superior to
Duquesne, f a c e s St. John's in
Madison Square Garden Thurs
day night. Kansas State takes on
stubborn Missouri, Kansas plays
Nebraska and St. Louis meets de
fensively-strong Tulsa Saturday.

Davies Credits
Dukes' Victory
To Tall Men
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 12—(AP)
—A veteran coach who taught
basketball fundamentals to the
mentors at both Duquesne and
St. Bonaventure credits the
height of the dukes for their six
point victory over St. Bonaven
ture.
Duquesne won 69-63 last night
to become the only major unde
feated college cage team in the
nation. By toppling St. Bonaven
ture from the unbeaten ranks, the
Dikes racked up victory number
17 without a defeat.
Watching with glee was Chick
Davies, who coached basketball
at Duquesne when coaches Dudey
Moore of the victors and Eddie
Melvin of the losers were playing
basketball at th e Pittsburgh
school.
Davies, now coaching at near
by Homestead High School, said
Duquesne had the edge on St.
Bonaventure in crucial moments
because its players were slightly
taller. He added:
"Dudey and Melvin are doing
a helluva job of coaching.
"Both teams played very good
defensive ball. I didn't see a weak
man defensively on either club
which is unusual these days. Most
teams quit playing defense years
ago."
Moore predicted Duquesne will
achieve that • basketball rarity—
an undefeated season. He de
clared; „
"I don't want to junk them but
I hope they win every one from
here on in. It was afraid of the
St. Bonaventure game but I think
they can do it now."
Stan Musial Gets
sack Pay Check
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12—(AP)—
Stan Musial of the St. Louis Car
dinals today got his back pay for
1951—a check for $20,001.
The raise had been held up by
the Wage Stabilization Board,
which only recently gave permis
sion to grant it.
Redbird owner Fred Saigh said
the hike actually was $25,000 but
that basic withholding taxes had
reduced it to $20,001. He indi
cated that with the boost Stan's
salary for last year was around
$BO,OOO, one of the highest in
baseball.
