Points Pace
74-66 Win
By dick McDowell
Spurting ahead late in the
fourth quarter, the Penn State
basketball team won it’s sixth
game of the season last night,
whipping a tough West Virginia
quintet, 74-66 at Morgantown.
The Lions, led by center Jesse
Arnelle, .who poured 24 points
through the hoops and did most
of the rebounding, had a hard
time containing the Mountaineers
fast-breaking offense and never
once held a commanding lead.
Although outscored by 20 points
from the floor, the southerners
were able to stay within striking
distance throughout the contest as
their tight pressing man-for-man
defense held the Lion shooting to
a minimum. However, the Nit
tanies hit on big percentage of
their shots, and after gaining a
17-16 lead late in the first period
were never headed after that.
Arnelle Ton Scorer
Once again Arnelle was the big
gun for the Lions, scoring from al
most every angle and .grabbing a
big share of the rebounds, both oh
offense and defense.
The Nittany defense was able to
hold Mountie ace Eddie Becker to
only 11 points but found trouble
in captain Red Holmes who drop
ped 20 points and kept the Wes:
Virginians in the running right
up to the final whistle.
Clinch Win in 4th
With the score tied at 62-62 mid
way in the final period, Arnelle’s
jump shot, from 10 feet out put
the Nittanies ahead for good, and
Jim Brewer’s driving lay-up in
creased the lead to four points,
Willie Bergines added one point
from the foul line and then Earl
Fields’ foul point, Jim Brewer’s
jump shot, and Dave Edwards
free toss, put the Lions ahead,
70-63. However, three quick
Mountie foul points narrowed
the gap to four points again with
less than a minute to go. The
Lions held the'ball, though, and
then Edwards hit on a one-hand
ed push shot and Ron Weiden
hainmer cut the nets with a 20
foot set just before the buzzer
to make the final score 74-66.
West Virginia made it known
early in the first quarter that they
were not a team to take lightly,
although they had not been too
impressive all season, winning
only four games against f i v.e
losses.
Lions Open Scoring
The Lions opened the scoring
with Weidenhammer’s foul point
but didn’t hold the lead long
when Becker hit on a jump 'shot.
Jack Sherry’s foul point and Ar
nelle’s layup put the Nittanies
back in front and then West Vir
ginia scored eight straight points
to take a 10-4 lead. However, with
Arnelle hitting for 13 markers in
the quarter, Coach Elmer Gross’
quintet was able to overhaul the
Mounties and led 21-20 at the end
of the period.

Football Rules
SARASOTA, Fla., Jan. 13 (A 3 ) —
College football’s one-platoon sys
tem is here to stay.
The NCAA Football Rules Com
mittee, after hearing some 40 pro
l isals to liberalize the limited sub
stitution rule, turned them all
down in today’s final session.
“One-platooi football found in
creasing favor among the public,
the coaches, the players and ev
erybody during the 1953 season,”
said committee secretary E. E.
Wieman, from the University of
Denver.
“We were not willing to make
any changes until we have had
another year of experience with
it.”
The committee strongly con
demned the faking of injuries to
stop the clock and the “sucker
shift” which is intended to pull
the opposition offside.
No rules changes were made
but the committee pleaded with
the country’s college coaches to
eliminate “this unethical practice
from the great American game
for which they have a primary re
sponsibility.”
In a resolution on the faked in
jury problem, the committee de
clared that “feigning injuries for
the purpose of gaining additional,
undeserved time is dishonest, un
sportsmanlike and contrary to the
rules.”
If these practices are not stopped
voluntarily, the committee indi
cated, the rule book will be re
written next year to take care of
them.
