Cagers Will Face
LaSalle Tonight
(Continued from page one)
Tomorrow night's final match, which will be televised nationally by NBC, is a sure
bet to be another sellout., That contest gets underway at 11:15 p.m. (EST).
Fans tonight will get a special treat when
.the Lions and LaSalle clash in the first semi
final, a game which will, also determine the Eastern champion. All-American Torn Gola of
LaSalle and Penn State's Jesse Arnelle, currently the most talked about player in the na
tion, should add a lot of extra color to the game. Gola ha's led the Explorers to a fine 24-4
record with a 22.3 point per game
scoring average. Arnelle, who is
nearing that mark, sports a 21
average.
The big Lion center sparked the
Nittanies to three upset wins in
the regional eliminations and was
named the most valuable player
of the tourney following Penn
State's 71-63 win. against •Notre
Dame last Saturday.
LaSalle has been installed as the
favorite to win both games tonight
and tomorrow. But it's all figured
on the Explorers' • overall record
and the experts are keeping a
watchful eye on the Lions and
their tricky zone defense. The
confusing zone stymied two of the
best teams in the country last
week and it has gathered a lot of
respect from former skeptics.
Neutral Grounds
This is neutral territory out here
and strong possibility looms that
Penn State may be the sentimen
tal favorites tonight. Mid-western
fans have taken a liking to the
Lions, and especially their
"strange" zone defense. The Nit
tanies captured the crowd's fancy
last week when, as disregarded
nobodies, they battered their way
to upset wins over LSU and Notre
Dame on consecutive nights.
The Penn State party arrived
here by plane yesterday afternoon
and established headquarters at
the Continental Hotel. Coach El
mer Gross put the ten-man squad
through a light workout on the
auditorium floor last night The
team will begin a long rest until
game time tonight.
Gross will probably start the
same five the used in all three
games last week. Arnelle will be
at center and Ron Weidenhammer
and Ed Haag will get the nod at
the guard positions. Captain Jack
Sherry and either Bob Rohland
or Jim Blocker will be at the for
ward posts.
Lineup a Formality
However, a starting lineup is
just a formality with this club
these days. No matter who holds
down the first five positions at the
opening tap-off, it's positive that
at least three of Gross' reserves
will see just as much action. Last
week the Lion coach shuffled
Blocker, Earl Yields, and Jim
Brewer in and out- of the lineup
constantly in all three games. And
it paid off. All eight men were
invaluable while they were in the
games.

WASHINGTON, March 18 (. 1 1 3 )—Three U.S. senators agreed today
that the Pittsburgh Pirates will be a threat in the National League
by the 1955 season.
The Pirates, current doormat of the National League, came up
for discussion at Senate judiciary subcommittee hearings today after
Sen. Harley M. Kilgore (D-W.Va.)
had said he had heard that only
four major league clubs-now have
enough money to compete suc
cessfully for a league title.
Sen. Herman Welker (R-Idaho)
said that "in a small way," he is
identified with the Pirates.
"Johnny Galbreath and Bing
Crosby have plenty o. wealth,"
Welker said, "but the club hasn't
been out of last place since I live
been connected with it."
Galbreath is president of the
club and Crosby is vice president.
Welker, whose legal firm repre
hents Crosby, owns some shares of
pittsburgh stock.
There have been published re
ports that the Pirates are in fi
nancial trouble. This was said to
have • prompted the club to part
with some of top stars for cash.
Sen. William Langer (R-N.D.),
chairman of the subcommittee,
said the Pirates won't do well in
1954 "but they will climb in 1955
and 1956."
"I see where they have seven
first basemen now and they have
so many players the people don't
even know their names. Branch
Rickey is a smart general mana
ger and he'll bring them along."
Sen. Edwin D. Johnson (D-
Colo.) president of the Western
League, agreed. "In 1955 and
1956," he said, "don't sell the Pi
rates short." Welker said that he,
too, had high hopes for next year.
