Top Rutgers
For Twelfth
By DICK .McDOWELL
Scoring heavily in the sec
ond and third periods,. the
Penn State basketball team
coasted to its 12th victory of
the season Saturday night,
bowling over Rutgers, 76-59.
• The win leaves only two
games remaining on the sche
dule before the Lions meet
Toledo Tuesday in the opening
round of the NCAA playoffs at
Fort Wayne, Ind. Georgetown and
Temple will be at Rec Hall 'this
week to wrap up the regular sea
son.
The easy win over the Scarlet
brought the Lions' log up to 12-5
as they romped to their 32d
straight win at Rec Hall, and
boosted their team average to 70.5
—three points better than the rec
ord total ,set last year.
Sherry Leads Scorers
Captain Jack Sherry took over
the scoring spotlight Saturday
with a 23 point performance and
Jesse Arnelle. tallied 17 as the
taller Nittanies completely out
classed the Scarlet.
The Lions started slowly but
finally moved ahead 7-5 midway
in the first period and never were
threatened after they boosted the
mark to-15-11 at the buzzer.
However, the pace' quickened
in the second frame. Led by Sher
ry, the Nittanies poured in 28
points and opened the gap stead
ily until they led 43-30 at the half.
The Lion captain accounted. for
12 of them in that stanza.
Score 20 in Third
The scoring attack . continued in
the third period, this time to the
tune of 20 points as Arnelle be
gan to hit with his sweeping hook
shot and Sherry continued scor
ing with his driving' lav-ups and
fading jump shot.
Rutgers had narrowed the gap
to 44-34 early in that p9riod but
Arnelle dropped in six straight
points and Sherry added five more
to catapult the Lion lead to 55-34.
They led 63-44 at the three-quar
ter mark.
Both coaches substituted freely
in the fourth period and the Lions
'were outscored 13-15, but it didn't
make any difference by this time.
Meet Noyes Thursday
The Lions are idle until Thurs
day when Georgetown moves into
Rec Hall. They battle Temple Sat
urday in the regular season finale
and then embark for Fort Wayne
where they face the Mudhens.
Georgetown and Temple are
both new on the Penn State sched
ule this season. The Hoyas have
been having one of their poorest
seasons this year and should pre
sent no problem for the Lions:
The 'Owls, however, although un
impressive for the most .part, may
prove dangerous. They upset La-
Salle last month.
Of course the big one for the
Lions will be the NCAA battle
with Toledo. The Mudhens, Mid-
American Conference champions,
have a 13-9 seasonal record.

and Harvard also posted better
times than the Lions in the other
