Lion Cagers Face
Pitt Five Tonight
A big obstacle faces the Nittany cagers at Pittsburgh tonight *hen they tangle with
their old rivals, the Pitt Panthers. Coached by "Doc" Carlson, the Blue and Gold quintet
has been steadily improving this season, and only last Wednesday it set a new scoring/rec
ord by walloping Geneva, 97-75.
The game also set another record in that it was the top total for a game in which the
Panthers were involved. Winning tonight's game will mean a lot to the Lions, for they
have a rough week ahead when
they meet Gettysburg Monday,
tough West Virginia Wednesday,
and Ithaca Saturday.
5 Veterans to Start
The Panthers have a six and
four record so far this season and
will be entering tonight's game
with a -two-day rest advantage,
They've beaten Westminster, Ohio
University, Harvard, Dartmouth,
Cornell, and Geneva. Losses have
been to Michigan, Miami (O-),
Ohio State, and Pennsylvania. '
Carlson has five veterans back
from last year's team, which lead
BULLETIN
Penn State picked up its
sixth victory of the season as
against two losses last night as
the Nittary Lion cagers beat
Carnegie Tech, 62-51, on the
losers' court. Although State
played a Tagged game, its su
perior height was too much for
the Tech cagers to stop. Jesse
Arnelle arxd Herm Sledsik
paced the Lion attack with 14
points each, while Jack Sherry
scored 13 points to place sec
ond. Joe Piorkowski scored
nine tallies.
a 10-12 record. Captaining the
squad an d its current leading
scorer is Micky Zernich, who
stands 6-2. The other lettermen
are Dutch Burch, 6-0, who is an
excellent play-maker and passer;
Don Virostek, the big boy of the
starters at 6-4; Art Boyd, 6-3; and
Dick Deitrick 6-3, who is also on
the football team.
Famous Freeze Game ,
Some able assistance from the
subs has helped to ease the Pan
thers' problems. Those who should
see action tonight are Dave Dues
sel, 6-4: Don Artman; and Jim
Ruschel.
In their three encounters last
year the cousins from the coun
try, Penn State, walked away
with all three victories. The first
match was in the Steel Bowl
tourney, won by the Lions. First
game score read 62-40. Second
game was 52-45. Then came the
infamous "deep freeze" game
which saw the Panthers literally
sit on the ball for most of the
game. Final score was more like
a baseball tally, 24-9.
This was the game in which
most of the entertainment was
provided by organ music.
Play Geitysburg Monday
Lion Coach Elmer Gross will
start the same lineup that has
been carrying the Staters through
their nine games: Captain Herm
Sledzik, Joe Piorkowski, Ed Haag,
Ronnie Weidenhammer, Jesse Ar
nelle, and Jack Sherry.

State College Monday night - to
play a tough quintet from Gettys

by Henry Bream, was defeated
by State in their lone encounter
last year. They have five letter
men returning: John Habeeb,

5-9; Dale Kleifelter, 6-1; and Ro
bert Pizolato, 5-11.
