against North . Carolina State, went on a personal scoring binge Saturday to lead. the Nit

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN! STATE COLtFGF DFNINSYLVANIA
Once again the Lions were hurt
by foul points. The scrappy Tar
tans went to the free throw line
55 times and made good on 33 at
tempts. Foul shooting, along with „
some excellent rebounding, kept
the smaller Pittsburgh club with
in reach of the Lions until the fin
al ten minutes of the contest
The Lions, using a pressing de
fense to break up an attempted
Tech stall in the early part of the
first half, started slowly and
trailed coach Mel Cratsley's club
until five minutes had passed.
Midway through the period they
led 16-14, and held a 38-37 edge
at intermission. The lead changed
hands several times in the second
half and at one point Tech moved
into a 54-49 lead—its largest of
the gam.
Then Arnelle opened up. (He
scored 23 of his points in the sec
ond half). The big center began
cutting his hook shot, and with
Hoffman and Weidenhammer hit
ting, from outside, the Lions
moved ahead to stay.
Tech's Bill Dosey, who finished
second in the scoring department
behind Ralph Boyd (19 points),
opened the scoring with a set shot
early in the contest and then kept
the Tartans out in front for five
minutes before Weidenhammer
hit from outside to put the Lions
ahead, 10-8.
For the rest of the first half it
was • nip -and-tuck, with Earl
Fields, Arnelle, and Weidenham
mer carrying the brunt of the
Penn State scoring strength. Wei
denhammer had 10 of his 17 points
before half-time.
Dosey Opens Scoring
Then Tech jumped back into the
lead as the second half opened.
Dosey cut the nets from the side
to put them -in front, 40-39. Ar
nelle countered with a hook from
the pivot. Ed Moker made good
on two foul tries but Hoffman
scored from the backcourt to give
the Lions the lead again. Then
Tim Frank scored. from under
neath and Hoffman hit again on a
fast break, and the Lions led,
46-45.
Two Carnegie foul points and
Ron Weidenhammer's charity toss
knotted the 'score and then Tech
tallied twice to go ahead, 54-49.
Marisa, Hartnett Clase Gap
Rudy Marisa and Joe Hartnett
accounted for two quick Penn
State baskets and Hartnet's foul
point put the Lions back in front,
55-54. After that the Tartans never
regained the lead but they stayed

Saylor Tabs
Gridders4th
In East
Penn State is rated fourth
in the East in the Roger B.
Saylor standings compiled to
day.. for Eastern college •foot
ball. •
Top spot went to bowf-bound
Navy, followed by Army and Pitt
in that order. Boston College is
fifth.
The Nittany Lions finished' be
hind Pitt despite their 13-0 con
quest of the Panthers because of
the intricacies of the Saylor sys
tem under which strength-of
schedule is the prime considera
tion.
_ .
As Saylor points out in his rat
ings, Pitt played six of the na
tion's top 25 teams and beat three
of them,. including West Virginia
(24th), an earlier conqueror of the
Nittany Lions.
West Virginia, incidentally, was
the only team in finish in the first
25 which appeared on the Penn
St ate schedule.
Of the second 25, the Lions de
feated Pitt (27th) but lost to Texas
Christian (37th). •
Moreover, to demonstrate the
elasticity of the system, an elas
ticity borne out by the week-to
week results—Penn State finished
ahead (33rd) of Texas Christian
even though defeated by the
Horned. Frogs.
Duke, for the same reason, fin
ished a step ahead of Army (22nd)
in the national ranking although
beaten by the Cadets.
Saylor, in compiling his stand
ings, ignores comparative scores
and lays major stress on the cali
ber. of the opposition.
It is interesting to note, in this
regard, that Pitt played three
teams which finished in the first
25, five which finished in the
second 25. Navy played three in
the first 25, two in the second 25.
Army played two in the first, two
in the second.
