PAGE SIX ~..: a .'. - ,.ers Beot Lions Win 32d in Row At Rec Hall By DICK IvicDOWELL Conroletely dominating the floor play, the basketball Lions trounced Gettysburg, 76-62, at Rec Hall last night to win their 11th game of the season. The taller Nittanies, who won their first game in their last four outings, out-rebounded the scrap py Bullet quintet and connected on 30 field goal attempts to win their 32nd strairi,ht game at Rec Hall. Had Elmer Gross chosen so, his floorman could have doubled the victory margin. However, the Lion coach used his reserves freely throughout the game and was satisfied to keep the margin at 14 points. Captain-forward Jack Sherry and center Jesse Arnelle topped the Lion scoring with 17 points apiece. Both totaled seven field goals and three points from the foul line. Bob Rohland,'a surprise starter at forward, tossed in 11 for the Nittanies. Weidenharnmer Outstanding The best performance of the night, however, was turned in by guard Ron Weidenhammer who was benched for the first quarter of the game. The speedy guard kept the Lion offense alive with his fine floorwork and hawk-like defensive play. The Nittanies had trouble with Gettysburg's pressing man-for man defense early in the game, but soon began to find openings under the basket. Sherry hit with regularity with his fading jump shot and Arnelle kept the nets hot from under the hoop. The scoring started slowly in the first period. Sherry's jump shot from in the key-hole got the Lions off to an early lead • and from there in they slowly widened the gap, leading at one point by 27 points. Sherry, Rohland Hit Sherry and Rohland handled the bulk of the scoring in the opening period as the Nittanies moved into a 17-12 lead. Center Bill Snyder and play-making guard Joe Lang kept the Bullets right behind the Lions. Led by Arnelle, State's momen tum began to increase in the sec ond quarter. The big pivot man poured in nine points in that period, and with some help from Earl Fields, the Lions widened the gap to 38-23 at half time. State continued to pour it on in the third stanza, this time be hind Sherry's deadly jump shots. Leading, 45-26, Sherry and Fields took turns at the basket and the Nittanies moved out in front, 62- (Continued on page seven) ti.........,...........,.......,..........................,................ = = NOTICE = = =To all students who are members of the h = AMERICAN FEDERATION OF MUSICIANS. = You place your membership in JEOPARDY = if you are playing in Local 660 A.F. of M. juris diction = without clearing with this office.

The Lions led most of the way throughout, only to see the Cen ter squad fight back to tie the count at 49-49 in the final period. But a jump shot by Hugh Cooper, who was high man for State with 18, followed by Sam McKibben's tap-in gave the victors a lead which they did not relinquish. McKibben followed Cooper in the scoring parade with 16 tallies. while Charley Sitch had ten. Bill Taylor led the visitors with 20 tallies, most of them on long set shots. The teams traded goals in the first quarter, but the Lions, aided by a pair of hook shots by Sitch, had a 16-15 edge after the first ten minutes. The Nittanies opened the margin to 25-18, before Altoona's Mike Latterner led a spurt which closed the gap to 25-24. But State fol lowed the script by again spurt ing for a 31-24 lead at the half time intermission. Altoona got a tough break as the second half opened as Jack Kitting, their biggest man, picked removed. State took this oppor tunity to move out to 38-29, and held a 45-38 edge at the quarter. The action picked up in the last stanza as Latterner's jump closed the gap to 45-42. Seconds later, the Lions found their margin only 47-46, but Cooper tailed from un derneath to up the spread. Al toona's last gasp was a foul goat and long set shot by Taylor. This knotted the count at 49 apiece, from whence the Lions took con trol.

But the Cavaliers may not be as mild as the Nittanies would like them. Coach Al York's ringmen will have an edge on the Lions in the respect of valuable dual meet experience. _ Coach Eddie Sulkowski has been carrying his victory hopes in the past four meets with four sopho mores, three juniors, and one sen ior. At the start of the season, only two of these eight men had seen collegiate ring competition. Captain Adam Kois, who has carded a 2:1-1, was the only boxer that had seen even recent dual meet oppbsition. Harry Papacharalambous had not been in the ring since 1951 when he left school and entered military service. Opposing ringmen in the past four matches which have netted the Lions three losses and one tie, have had two or three years of varsity competition under their belts. \:. Last year, the Virginians edged the Lions 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 . And this year, the bulk of that same team is ex pected to be facing the - Lions again. Facing the relative newcomers from Penn State, Virginia will probably have the edge. But the Lions will be looking forward to this one to card the:r first win. While Eastern champ, Adam Kois has been holding the 178- pound slot for the past four meets, three sophomores have been con sistently improving. Don DeMay, Larry Stokes, and Frank Breidor may form a bulwark for the Lions Saturday in a desperation try for a win.
