Pant,:•ers t f.e Cagers, ..„ For three three years Penn State has been a winner on Pitts burgh gridirons, but come winter when the athletes turn to the hardwood, the Panthers have ruled with an iron hand. The Pitts' victory monopoly at their fieldhouse continued Saturday night when coach Bob Timmons' Steel City quintet dumped the Nittany Lions, 76-66, scoring its third home vic tory against Penn State teams in the last four years. The loss was the Lions' fifth—all suffered on the road— and second in succession. They were bumped by previously beaten Carnegie Tech on Friday night. Shoot 28 Per Cent Shooting accuracy told the ,story against Pitt. The Lions had con trol for most of the game and led at halftime, 39-33. However, a poor 28 per cent firing line average finally spelled death for John Eg li's passers. Pitt crept from be hind early in the second half and finally bypassed the Nittanies midway in the period. Center Jesse Arnelle was top scorer for the Lions with 19 points but had to take a back seat to Pitt's 6-4 center Ed Pavlik who tossed in 34 markers and paced the Pitt surge in the second half. Guards Bobby Hoffman and Ron Weidenhammer contributed 16 and 12 points to the Penn State cause. But while the Lions fired away with little, success, Pitt hit with more accuracy from the field, scoring on 34 per cent of its shots. Lions Take Early Lead For the first 20 minutes of the contest it looked as though the Lions were going to rebound from their Friday night Tech loss. They moved into an early lead and held it throughout the first half on the strength of their tight com bination press-zone defense. However, the Lions couldn't find the shooting range in the second stanza while Pitt began to make its few shots count. With Pavlik pacing the attack the Pan thers poured in 28, points while the netted 10 in the first Action at .wedish Gymnastic Show 12 minutes of the half. With eight minutes 1e f t in the game, Pitt moved into the lead and then broke loose to pull away from the Nittanies. PENN STATE PITT FG F TI.
