Lions Face Pitt
Five Saturday
By dick McDowell
The stage is set for what promi
battles of the year when Penn Stal
field house. The two teams meet i
overtime thriller at Bee Hall Jan,
Panthers, 91-85.
Pitt will be out for blood in
this one and, according to -the
Pittsburg Press, may be slight
favorites. Coach Bob Timmons’
quintet pushed the Lions right up
to the final buzzer in the first
meeting and naturally would like
nothing better ihan to. upset El
mer Gross’ high flying Lions. '
The Panthers, led by flashy
Dutch Burch, have been a dis
appointing club to Pitt fans this
season, winning only five games
while losing 12, but of late have
shown great improvement and
can be dangerous at times. They
proved this at Rec Hall.
The Lions travel to Pittsburgh
on the crest of a splendid 10-2
record wit seven contests- re
maining on the regular schedule.
The Blue and White have lost
only to North Carolina State and
Navy, and will arrive at Panther
Hollow seeking their fifth win in
a row.
As a team, the Nittanies are
well on their way to setting an
other scoring record in average
points per game—a record that
has been broken for the past two
seasons. Last year Gross’ quintet
scored an average of 69.7 points
per contest, and with 12 contests
behind them are averaging 71.1
this season.
Individually, center Jesse Ar
nelle ranks as the top man in the
scoring department with 260
points for a 21.7 average a game.
Latest National Collegiate Ath
letic Association statistics place
the big junior 28th in the nation
in average points per game. Ar
nelle has fired in 89 field goals
and is 82 for 119 at the foul line.
-Captain Jack Sherry is in the
number two spot with 52 field

in the return contest of the three
.. 28 when the Lions whipped the
goals and 32 foul points for a to
tal of 136 points and an average
of 11.3 points a'game. Ed Haag
is third with 110 points and a 9.2
average and Ron Weidenhammer
is fourth with 107 points and an
8.9 mark.
■ Of the seven games remaining
on the schedule, Pitt will prob
ably give Gross’ club their tough
est game. The Panthers have de
monstrated that they can play
first-rate basketball. With Burch
setting the pace, the Smokey City
quintet employs a speedy fast
break offense that proved very
successful against the Lions in
the first meeting. Rugged Ed Pav
lick and Tommy Artman give the
Panthers strength under the bas
ket and from outside, and Burch
can score, from . any. place on the
floor.
Following the Pitt contest the
Lions travel to New York State
where they will play return
'games with. Syracuse and Col
gate. They return home Feb. 24
for the first of four home games
to wrap up the season. Gettys
burg will be at Rec Hall for the
first one followed by Rutgers,
Georgetown, and Temple.

College Soph
Is Newest Pro
Boxing Rage
NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (£>)—Nate
Brooks, a bright new face in a
day of humdrum fighters, is the
newest rave of the boxing crowd.
“He could be a small- edition of
Ray Robinson,” wrote Jim Jen
nings, veteran boxing writer of
the New York Daily Mirror after
watching the Ohio State pre-law
sophomore stop Billy Peacock last
night to win the North American
bantam crown.
“He (Brooks) has all the moves
of greatness and had the cruel ele
gance of Ray Robinson when he
was just beginning,” wrote Jimmy
Cannon in the New York Post.
This is a pretty fair sendoff for
a 20-year-old scrapper with only
nine pro fights—even if he did win
the Olympic flyweight title at Hel
sinki in 1952.
Testing Brooks presents a real
problem in the bantam class be
cause there are very few good 118-
pounders around. He has to. fight
feathers, giving away six or seven
pounds, to keep busy.
Later events may prove Brooks
isn’t quite the fighter he looked
last night. But Matchmaker Teddy
Brenner of Brooklyn’s Eastern
Parkway has a red hot boxer ota
his hands today.
