After 76-72 Syracuse Loss
Penn State's cagers have a strong opponent against
whom they will seek to break their longest losing streak of
the season. The Lions host
West Virginia Mountaineers t
the first of their two home games
this week.
Friendly Rec Hall will look
good to the tired basketeers who
lost three consecutive road tilts
last week. The three losses drop
ped the Lions' record to 17-4 and
ended all hopes for a post-season
tournament.
No one can accuse State's drib
blers of giving up their streak
without a fight. The three defeats
were by a total of only eight
points. It took Colgate an over
time period; and Syracuse two
extra periods to dump the valiant
but tired Nittanies.
Friday and Saturday's games
were almost the same story; the
will was there but the stamina
wasn't. Both nights State had, a
substantial lead in the.third quar
ter but couldn't hold it in the
remaining ten minutes.
Has 400 Points
Jesse Arnelle, freshman stand
out, broke another school record
against the Orangemen. His 30
points broke his own away mark
of 28 which he gathered earlier
in the season against Gettysburg.
Arnelle now has 400 points in
the first 21. games for a sensa
tional average of 19 per contest.
Arnelle's scoring was one bright
ray in an otherwise dismal road
trip.
The Lions also broke the one
season State team scoring record.
In 21 contests, the cagers have
scored 1407 tallies, an average of
67 per game. The team has al
lowed 55 points a game.
Lead at Half
Much of the failure on the dis
astrous Eastern tour was the fail
ure of the usual well-balanced
team scoring. Against Syracuse
the third leading Lion point-getter
was Joe Piorkowski, with six. In
both the Penn and Colgate en
counters Arnelle had to carry
more than his burden of the at
tack.
Syracuse struck first Saturday,
but State rebounded to take a
19-14 first quarter margin. In the
second canto the Lions' switched
defensive tactics and increased
their lead at intermission to 35-
26.
The Orange were using short
quick passes to set up shots but
Gross moved his front defensive
alignment out further than usual
and reduced the home team's
point production.
Tie Score
Syracuse deployed a full court
press in the third quarter 'and
the Lions began to tire. Big Frank
Reddout, six-five, and Ed Miller,
six-eight center, began to battle
Arnelle for control of the back
boards. By the end of the third
quarter State's lead was whittled
to 54-49.
State took the lead in the clos
ing moments of the game but
was unable to hold it. Coach
Marc Guley's dribblers scored the
1.3.4 four points of the fourth
quarter to knot the score at 66-66
at the end of the regulation fray.
The Blue and White also took
the lead with 30 seconds left in
the first five-minute overtime but
Miller made a basket to tie it
again at 72-72 at the end of this
overtime.
The Orangemen scored onl y
four points in the second overtime
but that was enough for State
didn't score a point. Piorkowski
and Jack Sherry ,who had 17
points for the night, both.. fouled
out in the overtime periods.

Lion Center
Wins 'Athlete'
Honors. Again
Ho-hum! Arnelle wins again.
Once again, the Daily Collegian
sports staff has named Jesse Ar
nelle, tall and talented Penn State
center, as "Athlete of the week."
In what is fast becoming a hab
it for the 215 pound pivot man,
Arnelle was designated because
of his record breaking 30-point
performance at Syracuse. The
previous away record was set
earlier in the year by Arnelle
when he tallied 28 at Gettysburg.
In addition to his 30 points
against Syracuse,. Arnelle hit for
23 at Penn and another 20 at Col
gate. His 73-points rais e d his
total to an even 400. Arnelle's im
pressive total has come via 150
baskets and 100 of 173 foul shots.
Arnelle's .scoring went tJ no
avail, however, when the Lions
dropped two-paint decisions to
Penn and Colgate and a four
point decision to Syracuse. Col
gate and Syracuse won in over
time.

SAN BERNADINO, Calif., Feb.
25—(.4')—Manager Billy Meyer of
the Pitsburgh Pirates says his
1952 team. won't figure in the
pennant race but vows 1953 will
be another story.
"We've got a long way to go
to the top," he said in a story
written for the Associated Press.
"But, watch out for us a year from
now—if the armed services don't
nab too many of the kids."
Meyer cited Jack Merson as one
of the youngsters on whom the
Pirates will count heavily. Merson
hit .360 for Pittsburgh after being
called from Indianapolis. Meyer
thinks Merson should be the Buc's
third sacker; and Clem Koshorek,
drafted from Toledo, who may be
used at shortstop.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY '26, 1952
By JAKE HIGHTON
Saturday in Annapolis, the Lions
continued their march to a second
consecutive unbe at en season
which finds only Cornell, here
Saturday, and Princeton deterents
to that goal:
The hard-fought victory over
the Midshipmen was State's sev
enth in a row on the season and
its 18th straight dual-meet vic
tory since the lag end of 1950.
Dick Lemyre kept his record
at pace with the squad's season
mark by turning in his seventh
straight win in as many varsity
attempts.
' Jerry Maurey. the ' only other
unbeaten Lion, recorded his third
win while Bob Homan, Doug
Frey, Joe Lemyre, and Dick Wat
ers also were posting victories.
Captain Don Maurey was held
to a ,draw and Hud Samson got
decisioned in the only two matches
which failed to produce Nittany
winners.
Sophomore Lemyre completely
dominated 130 pound Herb Crane
to gain his third whitewash. deci
sion while sweeping to his sev
enth straight without loss. 5o mas
terful was Lemyre that he held
advantage position m o,r e than
eight minutes to win, 6-0.
Moving up a weight from 137,
to replace th e sick-listed Don
Frey, f ailed to bother Jerry
Maurey as he outscored Sailor
Dick Wise, 10-6, for his third var
sity win without a loss. Loser to
EIWA champ George 'Feiffrbach
by 9-7, Wise was snowed under
by two fast first period Maurey
takedowns and a near fall. Al
though Wise r all ie d, Gerry
dragged him down twice more
in the third period "to' win .com
fortably.
Frosh 123 pounder Bob Homan
became the second Nittany to win
more than five as "he decisioned
a good Middie foe, Captain Bob
Sutley, 8-4. Before getting his
second sixth win on the' season
against only one loss, Bob had a
close call when he was nearly
caught in a cradle in the second
period.
Joe Lemyre got involved in one
of his typical rollicky, reversing
scraps with Navy's Joe Gattuso
and came out on the best end of
a 14-12 scoring duel in the 167
pound class. TO get his fifth win
against two losses Joe reversed
